What Is the Eyebrow Blindness Trend?
The "Eyebrow Blindness" trend has people sharing photos of themselves from the past with eyebrow shapes that do not match their faces.
The brows didn't suit their face shape or they were just too chunky or unnatural. Many people share their thick eyebrow looks that were really popular around 2016.
Now, people look back at this trend, wondering how they could have been blind to the fact that these eyebrows didn't actually suit them.

TikToker Jane asks her followers in a recent video: "Do I have brow blindness?" She shares that she had eyebrow blindness in the past and is now worried that her current eyebrow shape is still not the most suitable for her.
People in the comments give her honest feedback, saying that her current brows might be a bit too straight, but are overall nicely done.
But what can you do if you don't have thousands of TikTok followers to ask for their opinion on your eyebrows?
1. Understand Your Face Shape
Option number one would be checking out an eyebrow shape guide that can help you find the best eyebrow shape according to your face shape.
2. Ask Family and Friends
You can consider asking your family and friends for their honest opinion on your eyebrows, but it might be hurtful to hear their answers, and depending on how much they know about makeup or face shapes, they might not be able to give you good advice on how to improve your eyebrow shape.
3. Try Eyebrow Filter
Alternatively, you can also try an eyebrow filter! That way, you can see yourself with different eyebrow shapes and sizes with a few taps, to see which one actually suits you best!
You can use a makeup app like YouCam Makeup, which offers plenty of eyebrow filters as well as an eyebrow shape feature that you can try in live-camera mode or on photos.
