Bleached eyebrows: blonde eyebrows fashion trend
Written by Tania Braukamper
It's easy to forget that eyebrows have trend cycles of their own; albeit cycles that move much more slowly than other beauty, hair and fashion trends.
While the full and natural, yet still maintained, style of brows have been on-trend for quite some time, the 'in fashion' shape certainly hasn't trended towards pencil thin eyebrows. And that's not about to change. A natural style and shape remains the style to have.
What's changing is the colour. Look hard and you'll see that bleached blonde eyebrows are currently a beauty trend. While no one should go to the extreme of shaving them off and having no eyebrows at all, those bleached to be peroxide blonde are now amongst the growing list of 2010 fashion trends.
Where we've seen bleached eyebrows
Very much a runway and editorial beauty trend, bleached eyebrows are slowly filtering through into street fashion. We say bleached, but we suspect that more often than not cutting edge fashionisers are simply masking their natural eyebrow colour with some clever make-up techniques.
Pictorially, model Lara Stone was one of the first to stand out with fair brows and, thus, popularise the look. More recently models Alla Kostromicheva, Ranya Mordanova, and Katlin Aas have followed suit and have been sporting the look.

How to style bleached eyebrows
- If you want to try out this trend, get your eyebrows professionally bleached at a salon. Do not try this at home.
- Matching your eyebrow colour to your hair colour is obviously not the thing to do. Your eyebrows should be a blonde colour. If you're already blonde, your eyebrows need to be a lighter shade: the effect is intended to be dramatic.
- Enhance the drama of the the look by using dark eye makeup around the eyes and a bold colour, verging towards dark and not nude, lipstick.
- To cheat and avoid having to use bleach at all, you can get a subtle effect using foundation to cover the brows.

There aren't too many alpha-females out there and, though she might deny it, Tania Braukamper certainly exudes their qualities. A keen eye, a focused approach, and a wardrobe spanning three rooms have made her one of the savviest of dressers. But it's not all couture for Tania, earning her fashionista credentials she'll frequently be seen on the town in a one-off, vintage dress and a pair of Gucci heels.
She says: Vintage will never go out of style
We say: Does that include vintage 80s?
