Eyebrows and the fashion associated with them have been around since Ancient Egypt. Cleopatra first came onto the scene when dark and bowed brows were in. Uni-brows also made themselves known in history during Ancient Greece, and who can forget Frida Kahlo's iconic eyebrows?

The 1920s saw thin brows come back in style; the 1940s took on arched brows; the 1950s embraced thicker brows, and so on until we got the bold brows of Carla Delevigne and Emilia Clarke into the 2010s. However, as trends go, it looks like thin eyebrows are returning.
