Over the last ten years, we have seen a dramatic transformation in how we view our eyebrows, and it is still going strong. Thicker, fuller eyebrows help shape the face, defining and creating a more balanced, attractive, natural look. A look, that according to research, is more appealing to men. However, not all ladies are blessed with thick, full eyebrows, but there is no reason to despair. Beauty products, make-up and cosmetic treatments allow every woman to have the eyebrows she would like.

What Are Feathered Brows?

Feathered brows are popular as the work for all shapes and sizes of eyebrows—from the thicker, fuller, dramatic look to a more feathery, subtle wispy look. Whichever you choose, this leans towards a more natural style that is more relaxed than the structured shape of an ombre brow while still looking dressy and professional.

What Are Feather Brows?

What started as a joke in 2017 turned into an internet sensation. This version of ‘feather brows’ include a parting midline through the eyebrows and the brows feathered upwards and downwards. The style was created using a glue stick, not recommended—soap is a much better option.

How To Get Feathered Brows Naturally

Looking at photos of yourself over the years, you probably can see how your eyebrows have changed. If you want to embrace the feathered look without going the microblading route, then the first thing you want to do is stop plucking and maybe consider a conditioning eyebrow gel to promote hair growth.

Face & Eyebrow Shapes

Different face shapes suit certain brow styles better, but ultimately you go for a look you are happy with. The best guide to the eyebrow shape for you? Your natural shape.

Like celebrities Kourtney Kardashian and Reese Witherspoon, heart-shaped faces suit a brow with a soft arch. This style balances out the longer chin of this face shape. Bold, fluffy brows will work as the brow being wide will not be overwhelmed by them.

Celebrities Malin Akerman and Nicole Richie, with their square-shaped faces, suit a high curved arch. This style softens this face shape’s hard angles. Remember not to take the tail too low, as this will draw the eye down.

With celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker and Liv Tyler, their oblong-shaped faces suit a straighter, slightly arched brow. This style, along with fluffier brows, helps widen the face.

Like with celebrities Gabrielle Union and Kirstin Dunst, round-shaped faces suit a sharp-angled fuller brow that defines this face shape.

Lucky celebrities like Jessica Alba and Beyoncé, with their oval-shaped faces, suit all of the above.

Micro Feathering or Microblading?

For women whose brows are a little sparse, micro feathering is the increasingly preferred method of microblading. This semi-permanent method of tattooing uses what is considered a less invasive technique than microblading. In that, it fills out the brows you already have in the area hair is sparse. In comparison, microblading creates a natural-looking, fuller brow by covering most of the brow.

Micro feathering uses one needle and no blade compared to microblading, creating fine, hair-like strokes filling in the gaps in your brows. The cost varies as to the technique and artist you select approx $600 – $1800.
