Yanny or Laurel is an eyebrow trend now and please lord make it stop
A week ago the words Yanny and Laurel were nigh-on meaningless to all of us. Those were simpler times, however.
Since then, the internet has been torn apart in the raging debate as to who hears what. But, now this debate has taken on a new dimension, it's reached eyebrow-trend-level in its viral fame.
And, I think I speak for everyone when I say that this is where it needs to end.
Makeup vlogger Kaytee Ellen Instagrammed the rather bold eyebrow look, which comprised the words Yanny and Laurel literally just replacing her actual brows.
She posted a less close-up version of the look to show the full effect of the unusual look. And, it's quite something.
Kaytee wrote that she created the look using IT Cosmetics superhero eyeliner, paired up with an eyeshadow palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills.
Folks, it's fair to say this is a look that's probs best not tried at home.
