Hey, beauties! I was recently invited back at Cityline to give my hot takes on the biggest brow trends of the year (watch the full segment here). Whether you’re into the edgy and bold bleached brow trend or prefer the more natural and full look of the natural brow trend, there’s a style out there that’s sure to catch your eye. In this segment, I dish on each trend, share expert tips to help you achieve the look, and the products you’ll need to get the job done.
So, grab your tweezers, your brow pencil, and get ready to elevate your brow game with these hot eyebrow trends!
Trend #1: Brow Lamination
Dealing with unruly brows that just won’t stay in place? Then brow lamination will be your best friend! This amazing beauty treatment helps to shape and set brow hairs in a specific direction, resulting in a fuller and more defined look. And the best part? At-home brow lamination kits are now more popular and accessible than ever before!
These kits usually include all the necessary tools and products, such as brow glue, lifting cream, and fixing lotion. The process is simple: apply the lifting cream to your brows, comb the hairs into the desired shape, and then use the fixing lotion to set the hairs in place. Just be sure to follow the instructions carefully to avoid any mishaps. At-home brow lamination may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with very thin or sparse brows or those with sensitive skin — so it’s always a good idea to do a patch test before trying one out!
EASY HACK: Skip brow lamination kits and use easy brow sculpting products instead! Less damaging to your brow hairs and also offers more flexibility.

Trend #2: Bleached Brows
This trend may be a “nay” for me, but if you’re ready to make a bold beauty statement, then you just might love the bleached brow trend! This daring trend involves lightening or bleaching eyebrows to a very pale or almost white color, creating a futuristic and high-contrast effect that accentuates the eyes.
You may have seen this striking look on celebrities, runways, and in fashion editorials, and now you can achieve it too! Whether you choose to lighten your brows at home or have them done professionally, just keep in mind that bleaching can be damaging and requires some extra TLC. Plus, it may not be the best fit for every face shape or skin tone, so it’s always a good idea to consult with a pro before taking the plunge with this one.
EASY HACK: Use a brow gel that has the bleached color effect. Choose something close to your skin tone without an orange hue. Be sure to coat all the hairs! Two other fun tips: you can use Men’s beard dye to tint your brows or L’Oréal root touch up too!

Trend #3: The Natural Textured Brow
Anastasia Beverly Hills says this is THE trend for 2023 — natural textured brows (also a total YAY in my books!) This trend focuses on enhancing the natural shape and texture of your brows, creating a fuller and more defined look that complements your unique features. It’s the perfect counter-trend to those heavily sculpted and styled brows of the past.
Achieving the natural brow look is simple: just brush and fill in your brows with a brow pencil or powder that matches your natural color and texture. The natural brow trend is super versatile and can work well with a variety of face shapes and styles — the perfect low-maintenance option for those who prefer a more natural look!
EASY HACK: Going in with a liquid liner right away is going to be tricky and likely messy. I like to use a brown shadow to first create the shape. You want the liner to be thin on the inner corner and gradually get thicker towards the outside of the eye. Stop the liner at the end of your lashes. Do not extend the liner.

Trend #4: The Skinny Brow
Low-rise jeans are the skinny brows of beauty…it’s a NO from me. But if you’re looking to embrace your 90s supermodel, rock those skinny brows babe! This trend is all about a thin and elongated brow shape that follows your natural arch. To achieve this look, grab your trusty tweezers and get to work removing any excess hair from the bottom and top of your brow.
Once you’ve got the perfect shape, define your brows using a brow pencil or powder. Don’t forget to blend the color using a spoolie brush before setting them in place with a clear or tinted brow gel.
EASY HACK: Smooth top and bottom side of brows together with wax to meet in the middle, creating the illusion of smaller brows. Then enhance skinny brow shape by using a thin pencil to further define.

Trend #5: The Straight Brow
If you’re looking to switch up your brow game this year, then the straight brow trend might just be your new go-to. This modern and fresh look can help to make your eyes pop and give you a youthful, edgy vibe.
To achieve the straight brow look, you’ll need to trim and shape your brow hairs into a horizontal line using a brow pencil or pomade. But, as always, it’s important to consider your face shape and natural features to create a balanced look that suits you best. Regular maintenance and practice will help you perfect the technique and keep your brows looking straight — and fabulous!
EASY HACK: Use an angle brush and a powdered eyeshadow to create a more straight look to the brows. Soften your natural arch by filling it in slightly. Set with a clear brow gel.
