Just when we had mastered how to get regular eye brows on fleek, with this creative new trend we may just have to learn how to draw our brows perfectly into wiggly lines.

Vlogger Promise Tamang was one of the first to try the look. She told PopSugar that she had been inspired after seeing a photo of somebody with photoshopped brows.

New Brow trend??? When you’re tired of being basic. Somebody dare me to go out like this ? @melovemealot vibezz

I think the #wavybrows trend is really cool and unique…but I don’t think it’s something to wear like on a regular basis

We posted a collage of people rocking the squiggle brows on BN Beauty Instagram, to get opinions on the trend.

Hey guys , what are your thoughts on this new #WavyBrow trend ? It features a thick brow with a wavy or wiggly tail. And some make up influencers are also moving the trend to the lips ! #BNBeauty www.bellanaija.com
