You know how you've always wanted to mold your eyebrows into a squiggle shape that sort of resembles a snake? Turns out, you're not alone. It's a thing now.

While not exactly a #trend, the "squiggle brow" has made several noteworthy appearances on Instagram over the past few days. For the most part, bloggers are creating the look by shaping their brows with washable glue -- no plucking necessary. This means that the squiggle is reversible, so a squiggly brow need not be squiggly forever.

Phew.

Per Popsugar, the style is the brainchild of blogger Promise Tamang. (She initially created the look in April, but it's been recirculating on the internet in recent days.)

Now, other beauty enthusiasts are putting their own spin on the squiggles. Some are just shaping the ends, creating more of a ... rattlesnake look? Cat tail look? We're not sure, but we do know they belong on a runway.

Others are adding adornments -- gems, rhinestones, glitter -- to their looks. What we're trying to say here is: the squiggle brow is highly customizable.

Will the squiggle brow take over faces around the globe next season? Probably not. (Please see the feather brow for evidence.) But if you're seeking a fun festival-y or Halloween look, they could be just the eye-catcher you're looking for.
