Lightning bolt eyebrows are here to make you long for the end of absurd beauty trends
There are some things the world desperately needs more of. Compassion and kindness, for instance.
One thing the world does not need any more of, however, is eyebrow trends.
As we reel from squiggle brows, braided brows, and feather brows, here comes another one! Lightning bolt brows.
Instagram beauty blogger shinybeautiz has created the rather niche look, which involves pencilling one's brows into a distinctly bolt-like shape. She's added matching liquid eyeliner bolts for added effect, too.
The blogger also included details of the products she used to achieve this unusual look. She used Anastasia Beverly Hills' brow pomade in "darkbrown," along with Fenty Beauty's "trophy wife" highlighter on the eyelid.
All things considered, this look could be a big hit with Harry Potter fans who're looking to mimic his lightning bolt scar.
Seriously thought, can we just call time on eyebrow trends?
