Pencil-Thin Eyebrows of the Roaring '20s Are Taking Over TikTok

From Zendaya wearing finger waves in her November InStyle cover spread, to Lizzo showing off her thin brows on the latest cover of Variety, it seems like after a century, the beauty aesthetics of the 1920s are coming back in a huge way.

TikTok yet again shows us which direction to turn our beauty sails into, and this time, it’s in the direction of the 1920s. On the app, the hashtag #1920smakeup has amassed over 34 million views. We are set to believe we need to take a razor to the eyebrow, and pin-curl our already fragile locks -- but not so fast. Before you jump ahead of yourself, take a peek at Pat McGrath Labs' flapper-inspired shoot, or Fenty Beauty's ad campaign featuring model Jazzelle Zanaughtti wearing pencil-thin brows and finger waves.

The 1920s were known expressive and ultra glamorous fashion and beauty. As we emerge from our 2020s lockdown phase of a global pandemic, this distinct makeup look almost parallels how the 1920s embraced freedom and loosening inhibitions, welcoming in a new era. If you are looking to try something different, the time to experiment with a bold beauty look is now.

While you won’t need to shave off your eyebrows to attain a 1920s-inspired style, putting your own take on the look is shaping up to be the next trend to try.
