If you've been on TikTok lately, you've probably heard all about the latest buzz: brow blindness. It’s the phenomenon where people struggle to find the right brow shape that complements their natural beauty.
Instead, they get caught up in ever-changing brow trends and end up with brows so bad they confess their brows woes on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, et al. Even the USA Today is talking about it. “Rushing to follow microtrends without investigating your personal motives can be a telltale sign of eyebrow blindness.”

What is Brow Blindness?
Brow blindness occurs when individuals lose sight of their natural brow shape, often due to the influence of fleeting beauty trends. This can lead to over-plucking, over-drawing, or following fads that don't suit their unique facial features.
In the words of the Brow Guru, "Brows are a classic feature meant to highlight your natural beauty and your individuality, not conform to temporary fads,” said Alyson Hoag, CEO & Founder of Genuist Beauty. “Your eyebrows should always come first in a beauty routine, and your eyebrows make or break your entire makeup application.”
Why People are Talking About Brow Blindness
The concept of brow blindness has taken social media by storm, especially on TikTok, where more and more people are realizing the importance of embracing their natural beauty rather than chasing unflattering and damaging trends that sadly can leave lasting damage As one TikTok user aptly put it, brow blindness is ‘a condition where you can't tell your eyebrows look insane.
Bad Brow Trends Happening Right Now
- Overdrawn Brows: Creating unnaturally thick and dark brows that overpower the face.
- Straight Brows: Attempting to flatten the natural arch for a 'straight across' look that appears unnatural.
- High-Arched Brows: Over-exaggerating the arch, leading to an overly dramatic and sometimes surprised expression.
- Over-Plucked Brows: Removing too much hair, resulting in thin, sparse brows that lack definition.
- Waxed Brows- a current and sadly long-lasting brow trend. Waxed brows remain popular but frequent waxing can cause skin irritation, thinning of the skin, and damage to hair follicles, leading to reduced hair growth over time.
- Fox Brows- Also known as fox eyebrows, this trend usually starts with taking off the tails of the brows and is a trend where the eyebrows are shaped and styled to create an elongated, lifted look that mimics the shape of a fox's eyes.
- Shaved Brows- The shaved brow trend of shaving eyebrows involves using a razor to remove brow hair, which can lead to damage to hair follicles, skin irritation, and uneven regrowth. This method often requires frequent maintenance and carries a risk of infection as well. At Authentic Beauty, we prefer brow tweezing because it offers precise shaping, reduces skin irritation, and promotes healthier, more natural-looking brows.
