#5. Delicate brows
The eyebrow way of life was super thin in between 1989 to the early 2000s. The thinner the brows were, the better. On the other hand, 2021 has given room for a more diverse range of eyebrows. That is to say that trying a strictly 90s brow game this 2021 isn’t likely to cut it. But there’s a way around that. Rather than thin out your brows, create delicate ones instead. Simply put, you should be filling in subtle strokes over your brows in place of thin, harsh lines. Problem solved.
