My friends weren't so convinced. Still, of all four looks, this is the one that they were the most in to. Well, okay, maybe not in to. Maybe more like "I'm less offended by No. 1." Others thought that this brow look would be more appropriate for Halloween, a festival or a "pretty high-end fashion show."

The Look: Underbrows
My thoughts: Thanks to Gigi Hadid at the Giambatista Valli AW16 fashion show back in March, this trend was all. over. Instagram. Seeing as my current idol, sweet angel sent down from above, Gigi, wore this trend, I told myself that I had to love it. After pushing aside my Gigi obsession, I realized that this brow trend really wasn't so bad. Out of the four trends, this is one that I would wear somewhere in the public eye without feeling like a total space case.
Again, this brow trend was less offensive to my friends and family. One acquaintance went as far as "really liking" this one. Another friend told me that I pull it off really well. Maybe this will be my new look? Or maybe I'll only wear it when I'm at home in my bedroom pretending to walk the runway like Gigi.

The Look: Squiggly Brows
Considering the fact that it already takes insane concentration, a seriously steady hand, and a good 10-15 minutes to shape and fill in my basic, everyday brow, the idea of spending about 20 minutes trying to carve out this silly brow trend is a joke. Not only is this just ugly -- sorry, people -- no matter how well you do it, it was hard to do. I mean seriously difficult. To put it simply: No. Just no.
Even though my look was much subtler than what you might see on Instagram, the reaction was still the same: "No, please, no." Just about everyone who witnessed this look thought it was ridiculous -- and I had to agree.
