• Ombre : brighter around the start and gradually filled into darker end tail.
• Significantly angular arches
• Solid, defined shape

Hollywood stars and western supermodels such as Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Cara Delevingne, Jennifer Connely, and Margot Robbie are the icons behind this brow trend. The overall notable attribute of this style includes higher arches that complement the contour of the eyes.

Asian Brows

• Similar brow and hair color, sometimes can be a little lighter than the hair color
• Colors are applied evenly and smoothly to create natural appearance
• Relatively straighter bow shape than Western’s angular arch signature
