Everything You Need To Know About Bleached Brows
By Sophia Zevallos and Alexis Scarlett
Bleached eyebrows, once considered a trendsetter of the high fashion world, has emerged as a striking trend in our current beauty culture. This eyebrow-altering technique involves lightening the natural color of your eyebrows by using chemical bleaching solutions, resulting in strikingly lighter, blonde, and platinum hues. While bleached brows have gained widespread popularity in recent years, their origins trace back to the experimental world of high fashion runways, where makeup artists and designers first introduced the trend as a means of creating bold and captivating looks. In today's blog, the hair experts here at Godefroy will cover what exactly brow bleaching is, and everything you need to know about it!
Bleached Brows in Pop Culture
Over the past few years, bleached eyebrows have transcended their fashion origins to become a symbol of individuality, creativity, and self-expression. You can see bleached brows in recent years embraced by celebrities, influencers, and beauty enthusiasts worldwide like Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Lady Gaga, and Taylor Swift
Pros and Cons
With the bleached eyebrow trend, there are advantages and disadvantages. If you ever wanted to try a new shape or experiment with the color of your brows, bleaching your eyebrows gives you a blank canvas to achieve different shapes, colors, and designs by using eyeshadows and bold liners. In the fashion world, bleached eyebrows act as an accessory to enhance designer outfits and serve to make a statement on the runway. Now, as fun as it is to embody a new look, bleached eyebrows may not benefit you if you have sensitive skin. Some bleaching solutions may contain harsh chemicals that can cause redness and irritation around your eyes. By performing a patch test to check for potential reaction, there is still hope if you want to achieve the bleached eyebrow look!
