One of the simplest methods to experiment with appearance is with eyebrow trends; a haircut is not necessary. Your entire appearance can be changed in an instant with a quick stroke of gel, a lighter tint, or even a shape modification.
Even though they might not be the first thing you notice when you look in the mirror, eyebrows can significantly affect your face and how you express your individual style. The versatility of eyebrow styles is being embraced more than ever as 2026 approaches, with styles ranging from bold and laminated to soft, carefree, and purposefully undone.
These five eyebrow trends, which range from narrow, straight brows to fluffy, feathered ones, will undoubtedly be popular in the coming year.
Manon Bannerman of KATSEYE is credited with popularizing the straight brow trend, which is undoubtedly here to stay in 2026. Chanel brow expert Jimena Garcia tells Teen Vogue, “Those straight, natural Korean-style brows are going to be very popular.”
Fluffy, feathery brows are another brow trend that will never go out of style, especially because they flatter so many various face types and contribute to a more youthful appearance.
To get the look, Cohen suggests getting a brow lamination and mild tint the next time you see your brow artist. “It’s a quick and easy way to achieve a thicker, fuller brow that you can repeat bimonthly,” Cohen explains.
She prefers to maintain the look at home using Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze Wax or e.l.f. Brow Laminating Gel for a rapid fluff, and e.l.f. Wow Brow Gel or Glossier Boy Brow for a subtle tint.
Are thick brows not really your thing? Don’t worry, ’90s and Y2K-inspired thin brows will also make a reappearance in 2026. Damōne Roberts, a celebrity brow artist, tells Teen Vogue that clients, particularly younger ones, are seeking thin brows again. His clients request arched and straight thin brows, based on their particular preferences.
Want to achieve the look of smaller brows without really using tweezers? Garcia recommends using a strong-hold gel like the MAKE Beauty Infinite Hold Sculpting Brow Gel to achieve a more sculpted look. “It’s perfect for taming and shaping them just the way you want.”
If you don’t enjoy grooming your brows, don’t worry – natural brows are always effortlessly elegant and cool. When combined with current cosmetic trends, it creates a carefree yet confident image. “A few errant hairs that follow the natural growth of the brow will always trump a perfectly groomed brow,” according to Cohen.
To keep your natural brow, less is always more. “Just let the eyebrows do their thing,” she says. “You can still get them groomed regularly by your favorite brow artist, but try not to touch them yourself in between sessions.” In other words, put down those tweezers!
Bleached brows were popular in 2025, but lighter brows are a more subtle version of the trend that works well for everyday use while producing a comparable look. According to Garcia, a lighter version of your natural color gives off an almost ethereal vibe.
She suggests using a lighter-tinted brow gel with a touch of powder or cream highlighter on top to achieve an airy, luminous appearance.
