One of the Best Haute Couture looks from the Spring 2015 Paris Fashion Week earlier this year was from Chanel, where eye shadow was being used to veil the brows, giving a unibrow effect. imageimage   If you follow (or subscribe to) Nyx cosmetics on social media, you would have most definitely seen the new UNIBROW campaign. image The next thought/question that popped into my head was: Is unibrow really a “thing”? Now, for those of you who don’t know what a unibrow is; a unibrow (or monobrow, called Synophrys in medicine) is the presence of abundant hair between the eyebrows, so that they seem to converge to form one long eyebrow. I am most definitely in team Frida Kahlo (a great woman and a legendary artist) but we are in a different century.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t be your own person but COME ON!, a unibrow??? What are you? Living in a cave? It’s a capital “NAY” for me.
