We wax, thread, pluck, fill them in with powder or pencil, and brush them into perfection, but the eyebrows have never been so prominent in a make-up look as they were in the Fall 2010 runway shows. From overgrown Brooke Shields-thick to Kate Moss-coiffed, brows are always on our minds when it comes to beauty. A perfectly applied make-up look an be ruined by an untamed brow, while an arch that’s overdone will look costumey on a natural, summer look. The brows usually stand in the background and let the make-up speak for itself, but designers are bringing them forward. From feather details, washed out color, and even unibrows, the beauty trend for fall is a strong brow.
