🐁 EYEBROW WIGS (18TH CENTURY)

At the beginning of the 18th century, transparent eyebrows were replaced with darker, fuller brows. Due to over-plucking and the use of toxic lead-based cosmetics, eyebrow wigs became popular. Women would trap mice for their fur and form it into artificial brows. The fur was trimmed into a desired style of eyebrow and stuck onto the forehead.

🎞 THE EFFECT OF THE CINEMA (1920S & 1930S)
The rise of the screen and Hollywoods biggest celebrities of course affected the people. Ladies like Clara Bow, Jean Harlow and Marlene Dietrich had a major impact on the eyebrow style in the 20s & 30s. Ultra-thin brows were back, either by shaving them all or over-plucking them. Vaseline was also popular to use on the brows, to create shine and draw attention.

🧹 WELCOME, HEAVY EYEBROWS! (1940S-1950S)
World War II had a widespread effect on the planet, in both big and small ways. It impacted the beauty and fashion industry, as women were now needed in the workplace and had less time for grooming while men were at war. This lead to women praising the low maintenance look, leading to thick eyebrows. Starting with Audrey Hepburn, the dramatically arched brows were not having a moment.
