No Eyebrows—Would You Go There?

If you were enamored of the curiously browless backstage beauty look from the Fall Balenciaga show or happen to count Terence Koh—all forehead, circa 2008—among your style icons, you’ll be happy to know that you are officially on trend, according to The New York Times. The newspaper is reporting an increase in brow shaving and bleaching for stylistic purposes. Although we can’t say we’ve witnessed said phenomenon on the street level quite yet, we are definitely willing to suspend our disbelief and accept that its trickle-down effect is in fact coming. (Stranger things have caught on.) Would you go there?

    It wouldn't surprise me; no one would have thought that women would shave the nether region 25 years ago.

    I pluck my eyebrows but I will never shave them. It doesn't look natural.

    A friend with breast cancer has lost her eyebrows and her eyelashes. It isn't glamorous. It isn't unique. It's stark and sad.
