This Instagram account is a tribute to the eyebrow we wish to forget

Put down the tweezers...

Denise Curtin

We all are very much aware of the noughties brow.

Yep, we are talking about that super slim, nearly non-existent string brow which was collectively made up of about 6 hairs.

And although we have done our very best to forget that mortifying time in our lives, it has been quite a struggle. Firstly, because we developed ALL our photos way back then, so the evidence is literally all around the house in HD and secondly because social media then occurred making tribute pages to the gas eyebrow that we are still emotionally unstable from.

Until you’ve spent the last 5 years growing out your brows, you really don’t know what struggle is.

But alas, we are going to look back on these pictures as a lesson well learnt to everyone who participated in “that era”. Ladies, we are now stronger, bushier and certainly more defined than seasons past.

Here’s to the shoe-string brow – thank you for staying out of fashion.
