Highsnobiety
Double Tap to Zoom

Kendall Jenner bleached her eyebrows; I "bleached" my eyebrows; Julia Fox posted a tutorial on how she bleaches her eyebrows; everyone and their mother is bleaching their eyebrows.

And as evidenced by Fashion Month, the otherworldly look — embraced by some, reviled by others — isn't going anywhere. At Balenciaga, Bella Hadid walked the runway with ghostly pale brows dotted with fake piercings and at Givenchy, sister Gigi followed suit. Doja Cat attended Paris Fashion Week in all her #NoBrow glory, briefly influencing us (me) to wield an at-home bleach kit before wisely putting it down.

Replacing the fluffy soap brow trend of early 2021, barely there brows are ushering in the rise of dystopian, "anti-beauty" beauty — perhaps a response to the uncertainties of today's political and cultural landscape.

To bleach or not to bleach, that is the question. Before you settle on an answer, consider our running list of everyone who put bleach to brow in 2022.

Charli XCX

Before there was Kendall Jenner's bleached eyebrows, there was Charli XCX's bleached eyebrows. In February, the pop star posted an Instagram of her new look captioned, "just an evil girl who makes everyone mad."

Kendall Jenner

The moment that changed everything: fashion's resident nepo baby attended the Met Gala with blonde brows, a look that fueled a bleach-powered beauty revolution.

Doja Cat

In April, the rapper shaved her brows on Instagram Live, adding that she "never liked having hair." Judging from the star's Paris Fashion Week appearances, she's taken to bleaching said hair instead of getting rid of it completely.
