Over the decades, lash and brow trends have seen dramatic shifts, reflecting cultural moments, fashion statements, and individual preferences. From the pencil-thin brows of the 1920s to the fluffy, laminated brows of today, each era has left its mark on how we shape and style our features. At Lash and Brow Studio, we embrace these changing trends, offering services and training to help beauty professionals and clients stay ahead of the curve. Let’s take a closer look at how these iconic styles have evolved.
Brows Through the Decades
1920s–1930s: Pencil Thin and Arched
The early 20th century was all about dramatic, pencil-thin brows, heavily plucked and often drawn high above the eyes. This look was inspired by Hollywood icons like Greta Garbo, with brows serving as a focal point for emotive expressions.
1950s: Defined and Feminine
By the 1950s, brows became fuller and more defined, with stars like Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe leading the charge. A polished yet natural look was in vogue, emphasising soft femininity.1990s: Thin and Over-plucked
Fast forward to the '90s, where supermodels and celebrities championed ultra-thin brows once again. Unfortunately, this trend left many overplucking, a choice some still regret today!2010s–2020s: Bold and Natural
More recently, full, natural brows have taken center stage, thanks to influencers like Cara Delevingne. Brow treatments like microblading and lamination have become essential for achieving that perfect, polished yet effortless look.
The Lash Revolution
While brows have always been a beauty staple, lashes have undergone their own transformation:
1950s: Iconic Winged Lashes
Stars like Elizabeth Taylor popularised dramatic, curled lashes paired with winged eyeliner for a classic Hollywood glam look.2000s: Voluminous Extensions
Lash extensions became the ultimate accessory, offering longer, fuller lashes without the need for mascara. This trend has only grown in popularity, leading to advanced techniques and styles that cater to every client’s preference.
