New Year New Eyebrows — Try These 5 Bold Brow Trends In 2021

If your over-tweezed, ultra-groomed eyebrows have become bushy and bold through 2020, you’re not alone — not going out meant that salon appointments fell by the wayside for a lot of us (myself included). Now, almost all of us are rocking the natural brows, and it looks like they’re here to stay. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still push the envelope with our brows. These 5 eyebrow trends are sure to have you embracing your eyebrows to the fullest, no matter what 2021 wants to throw at us.

Bushy Brows

This eyebrow style has been been all the range since Cara Delevingne rocked it in 2011, and it looks like the bushy brow look is here to stay. Bushy brows are essentially loving on and shaping your natural brows to enhance your face, and that’s about it! This is one of our fav eyebrow trends because it’s super low maintenance and still stylish.

Tips for Bushy Brows:

Determine the best brow shape for your face – everyone is different!

Less is more – don’t go crazy with the tweezers.

Fill in any gaps with a brow pencil. We recommend the Maybelline Total Temptation Eyebrow Definer.

Don’t be afraid to get help to find your best brow shape (especially if you’re new to the bushy brow game!)


Ombre/Ombre Powder Brows

Ombre brows are the cousin to microblading — this look involves a semi-permanent tattoo that is meant to create a subtle depth of shade in your eyebrows. This is a good option for someone who wants to minimize their daily eyebrow routine, but still wants a bold look!

Tips for Ombre Powder Brows:

Go to your appointment prepared with the eyebrow inspo that you want to achieve.

Once you have your eyebrows — be patient! They’ll heal best when you leave them alone. 

You might need to get a touchup to achieve the perfect look, and that’s normal!


Bleached Brows

Sometimes less is more, and yes, that even applies to our eyebrows. Bleaching your eyebrows will lighten up your eyebrows instead of darkening them. This is great for getting your eyebrows and hair to match if you have lighter (or bleached) hair, and it can also help give you a softer facial look. Of all the eyebrow trends you’ll see in 2021, this is one of the most striking!

Tips for Bleached Brows:

Get good bleach. You’re putting this on your face, so you want to make sure you’re not going to damage your skin. We recommend Jolen Mild Bleach Cream.

Start by lightening your brows once, and then wait a few days before lightening them again for the perfect color.

Embrace them! If you don’t love them, they’ll grow out pretty quickly, so enjoy them while they last!


Colorful Eyebrows

Colorful eyebrows add a pop of color to your brows, either with liquid liner, lipstick, mascara or eye shadow. This is one of my favorite eyebrow trends because it uses makeup that you probably already have, and you can change up the colors as much as you want!

Tips for Colored Brows:

If you’re unsure where to start: watch some tutorials, like this one from Youtuber beccaboo.

Get some colorful yet smooth eye shadow, like this NYX Ultimate Shadow Palette.

Try this Brow Pigment from Sephora to ensure success and staying power!


Goth Eyebrows

If you’re rocking the bold, dark look, then you also need some bold, dark eyebrows to even out your face. Goth is back, and these brows are definitely a statement! This is one of the boldest eyebrow trends you can go for, and is perfect for anyone rocking a bolder look.

Tips for Goth Brows:

If you’re looking to shave your eyebrows to achieve this look, start by only shaving the ends. This will help you learn what shape looks best for you! 

Look at a tutorial or two! We recommend the Goth Eyebrow Tutorial by Marilyn MugBeat.

Highlighting under your arch is KEY for a good goth eyebrow. Make sure you’ve got a killer highlighter to make your eyebrow arch POP. We recommend the Beauty Junkees Brow Highlighter Brightener Stick.
