While braids have long been championed for their ability to hide our four-day-dry-shampoo-stint sins, it's usually the hair on our heads we opt to plait rather the hair on our eyebrows, but that's all about to change according to this makeup artist.

Braided brows are the latest beauty craze to get your face framers on fleek, and if you're hungover, I'd sit this one out 'cuz it's fair to say you'll need an ultra steady hand.

From breadcrumb brows to squiggly lips, there's no doubt this is the year the beauty world has officially lost it. The days of a simple eyeliner flick and a bit of contouring a la Kim Kardashian are dead.

Move over, squiggle brows.

There’s a new extremely "extra" sheriff in town, and it’s the braided brow.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Wavy brow, squiggle brow, curvy brow — whatever you wanna call it, the trend is so last week. Braided brows are the new viral brow movement taking over Instagram, and patient zero is a 17-year-old makeup artist named Eros (@erosmua).

Yup, according to makeup artist Eros (@erosmua), if it's the hair on your head you've been plaiting all this time, then you've not been doing braids right.

He's given the infamous 'Instagram ombre brow' a festival worthy update -intricately braiding the hairs rather than filling them - and shared the result with his 16k followers on his Instagram because where else, right?

But, like with a lot of the things that excite us in life (mainly McDonald's and wine) there's a catch; Eros revealed he had in fact tricked us all with some old fashioned Photoshop and the braids were actually nothing more than a digital illusion.



He captioned his creative post:

What the f*** are curvy brows? I only know braided brows! P.S. This is totally a joke, please dont take it seriously!!!! The braid has been edited on since my brow hairs are not long enough to braid, believe me I tried.

Boo!

Most people sharing the trend doctored their images digitally, but some artists used makeup to hand-paint or drew on their version of the braids.

Dipbrow Pomade by Anastasia Beverly Hills seems to be the most popular product used. The results are definitely something else.

His retouching didn't deter his loyal fans, however, from feeling inspired to try out the creative brow regardless.


What do you think? Are braided eyebrows here to stay?

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
