TikTok's filter that makes eyebrows look pencil-thin is convincing some youths to pluck theirs down for real 👀
, a significant amount of fashion runways, this Godforsaken TikTok filter — thin eyebrows are stamped all over modern popular culture. And that means they are making a comeback whether millennials such as myself like it or not.
Though I can't stop the inevitable, I can, at the very least, warn you about what happens next if you risk a permanent change to your face for the sake of a trend. Just like everything else in this world, all trends have to die someday, whether that be in a week, a year, or even a couple of decades. But they do end, and when they do, humans pretty much always see-saw back to whatever they were doing before.
Consider eyebrow standards throughout the past century: in the 1920s and 1930s, thin eyebrows were all the rage. They thickened back out throughout the '40s and until the '90s, when society reverted to the thin, rounded shape and stuck with that until the 2010s. All beauty standards run in a cycle — and the inherent nature of cycles is that they never end.
In short: when everyone has thick eyebrows, we're told we should have thin ones, and vice versa. This constant ebb and flow provides cosmetic companies a convenient way to consistently sell new tools, treatments, and procedures to us — and that's where I really get my panties in a twist over these emerging eyebrow standards.
If thin eyebrows are your thing, cool. That's your right — but if they aren't, just know that it doesn't matter whether or not you have them. Eventually , thick brows will cycle back 10 times over. Trust me… entire generations have seen it happen with our own eyes.
