- Itâs no secret that eyebrows are the ultimate beauty playground. Just scroll through social media, and youâll find a wild variety of brow trends, from unicorn horns to Nike swooshes and even fishtail designs.
But just when you thought youâve seen it all, the quirky new halo brows entered the conversationâŚ
Halo brows â a halo-like arc across your forehead that connects both brows into one loop â was created by Hannah Lyne, a 16-year-old British-born influencer, whose new doodles went viral almost instantly.
âSo me and [a friend] were talking about the fishtail brow trend & then we came up with this,â Lyne captions the Instagram post where she introduces the design that left people excited and confused.
Speaking with Pop Sugar, the beauty blogger explained it wasnât a joke and that the âlook was influenced by fishtail brows.â
âI was having a conversation with a friend trying to come up with a new idea for a look, and all of a sudden it came to me that I should connect my brow tails,â she said.
Further discussing her vision with Yahoo Style, Lyne said, âI just want people to embrace being silly and doing weird, creative looks!â
âRidiculousâ fad
As with many trends born on social media, halo brows sparked a flurry of mixed reactions.
Some Instagram users seemed to love the design and praised Lyneâs creativity: âI love it!â writes one user, while a second pens: âAll of your looks are so originalâŚHonestly your talent is endless!â
âHow on Earth do you come up with your ideas? Theyâre so creative and you always execute them so well! Youâre incredibly talented,â shares a third.
However, the majority of netizens were quick to dismiss the updated unibrow as a âridiculousâ fad.
âVomits Uncontrollably,â writes one user in the comments section of Lyneâs Instagram post. âI canât tell if sheâs joking,â offers a second, while a third writes, âInstagram? More like Instaregret.â
Meanwhile, others said she looks âridiculous,â and suggested theyâre âdeleting Instagram because of this photo.â
Yet Cosmopolitan called the âheavenly halo browsâ âstrangely beautiful.â
âPrepare to meet the unconventional, yet gorgeous work of arch,â the publication writes of the looped eyebrows.
ven if youâre not on board with the look, itâs fun to see makeup artists finding different ways to style their eyebrows â whether they have one or two of them.
