Givenchy- Paris Fashion Week S/S 2010

Trend Alert: Bleached Eyebrows are In!

Bleached eyebrows (almost to the point invisibility!) started appearing earlier this summer when Adriana Lima appeared in Givenchy’s Fall/Winter ad campaign (pictured below). Since then, New York, Milan and Paris runways are ALL about the bleached eyebrow. Models walking in the shows for Lanvin, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, and Viktor & Rolf among many others have been  seen sporting this uniquely edgy, new trend.

.Since I am a huge fan of eyebrows, I’m not really loving this trend at all. Of course it works for fashion and I actually can’t wait to do a shoot with no eyebrows, but for everyday women, it’s not really practical. Of course, however, there are always ways of tweaking these looks to make them wearable and appropriate.

To Get the Look:

While completely bleached out eyebrows can make you look more like an alien than a fashionista, opting for a lighter color brow can give an overall softness to your face. Especially if your not a natural blonde! Lightening your eyebrows can make your look much more believable.

If you decide to try out this trend, have a professional do it for the first time! Working with bleach is not the easiest thing to do and it’s best left to someone who knows what they are doing!
