Eyebrows are a critical element in framing the face and completing any makeup look. Their shape can define your entire style, making it essential to stay updated on current trends. Here are the five most fashionable eyebrow styles of 2020.
The Soap Brow Technique

The leading trend is the soap brow technique, also called groomed brows or full brows. Hollywood makeup artists frequently employ this method on celebrities. The secret lies in achieving a textured volume that creates soft curves and the right amount of fullness.

To achieve this look, professionals use a dry soap trick: they dampen a round brush with water, rub it on soap, then brush the brows upward. Alternatively, specialized soap brow kits or setting gels and brow makeup can produce the same effect.
Wet-Look Brows

Following that is the wet-look brow trend (glossy brows). A shiny finish on the brow hairs gives the face a lively, fresh appearance, similar to dewy skin achieved with highlighter. While not necessarily practical for daily wear, the effect is undeniably captivating. Use styling gels or clear brow mascaras to replicate this trendy look.
Lion Mane Brows

A guaranteed way to turn heads is to sport 'lion' brows. This controversial trend has already gained popularity among fashion-forward individuals. The deliberately messy, slightly unkempt texture visually widens the brow shape, making it suitable for both thick and sparse brows. Use a round brush to style the hairs, combing them upward in a careless manner.
No-Makeup Brows
The 2020 fashion scene leans heavily toward natural beauty, so it's no wonder that untouched brows have emerged as a major makeup trend.

Just brush them with a clear gel to set the shape and guide the hairs. Perfect for skipping shadows, powders, pencils, and other products.
Discolored Brows

Bleached or sun-faded brows are another fresh trend for 2020, often called 'no brows' or invisible brows. This style draws attention to the eyes, making them the focal point. It's a daring choice, not suitable for everyone. Best reserved for runway looks or artistic photoshoots with avant-garde makeup, this technique transforms the face into a blank canvas for bold color and texture experimentation.
The result is truly otherworldly, but be aware that lightening brows is not a harmless process; attempting it at home is strongly discouraged. You could end up with no brows at all.
