‘Fishtail brows’ are a thing and we’re simultaneously impressed and confused

Right.

There was a moment there where it seemed like brow trends had stopped happening.

And understandably, we were only delighted because there was only so much plaited brow and thigh brow and ponytail brow we could deal with in such a short space of time.

It appeared that the time of the ridiculous brow trend was over and we were delighted to finally see the back of it.

Except it wasn’t and the brow is back with another so-called beauty trend that nobody is going to actually do in real life because people, in fact, want their brows to be nicely shaped and not ridiculous looking most of the time.

But sure look, we’re here so we might as well take a look at them anyway.

The ‘fishtail brow’ is a brow that resembles a (you guessed it) fishtail.

If you’re struggling to imagine what exactly that looks like, look no further than the following Instagram posts.

The fishtail brow only seemed to take off yesterday too after Huda Kattan shared a photo of herself rocking the look.

She, in fairness to her, looks class but would the average Joe about town look as good as good as Huda if they tried shaping their brows in this way?

We’re inclined to say probably not, no.

But that being said, people on Instagram are better at doing makeup than you or I will ever be so who are we to talk?

The fishtail brow was created by beauty blogger SkysEditz on Instagram and since then, it’s probably fair to say that the trend has blown up quite considerably.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, achieving the fishtail brow isn’t actually all that difficult.

All you do is pencil your brow in to a certain point, leave a gap, and continue drawing at either side giving the appearance of a fishtail.

Simple.
