How did we decide that a bold brow for men is one of Resort ’24’s surprisingly biggest trends? We took a look at the season of simplicity and into the next, another season so, and decided that there was a radicality in things that were presented as they were. Straightforward in their ease of being, unostentatiousness that highlights a quiet confidence instead, and fashioned for action and activity.
But by no means will these trends guarantee one a sufficient amount of style that can only come from mining self-exploration and cultivating charisma but what are we certain of? After years of whacking and fluffing to Ken Doll proportions, the bold brow for men in all its unplucked glory is back and for one good reason. It is the facial equivalent of big dick energy.
And perhaps one more: traumatic alopecia that comes with fervent tweezing. For those itching to pick, only remove the in-betweens and stop to observe after every three strands.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Tweezer, $54
Besides its ability to grasp the shortest, finest hairs and aid you in painlessly yanking them out, the sharpness of this tweezer’s micro-thin tip also works to extract splinters or to tighten the screws on your glasses.
Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow+ Brow-Volumizing Gel, $27
This gel creates a more feathery fullness than Boy Brow, applies more precisely than Boy Brow, and keeps the strands in stasis longer than Boy Brow—the only caveat is that a heavy-hand delivers a little too much pigment so remember to wipe the wand on the rim before application.
Caudalie Premier Cru The Eye Cream, $99
The bold brow look can only do so much even if one has deft hands and impeccably thick hair. This eye cream instantly alleviates puffiness and dark circles and with repeated use, smoothens out wrinkles courtesy of a potent TET8™ patent.
Shu Uemura Brow Gradation Powder, $50
The constant in professional makeup artists’s bags absorbs sebum while resisting it, comes in two shades specifically for Asian undertones, and promotes hair growth courtesy of Tsubaki oil and arginine so what can it not do? Draw itself but the two tools it comes with make the process practically mistake-proof.
The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Lash And Brow Serum, $29
One swipe delivers 11 hair-growing ingredients from peptide complexes and natural extracts to improve density in less than a month. Is it worth it? Well, you do the math and tell us.
