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.
If you follow (or subscribe to) Nyx cosmetics on social media, you would have most definitely seen the new UNIBROW campaign.
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.

Unless it’s Halloween season or for a runway or photoshoot, I see no reason why a normal person should walk around with an artificially created unibrow!
Even Queen Beyoncé when portraying Frida Kahlo a Halloween ago just did strong brows and skipped the unibrow.
Queen Bey as Frida KahloI’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. How about you? You can give your own opinions in the comments section below.
