Beauty Trend: Big Brows
Defined brows give a fresh appearance, add more expression to our face, and make our gaze look more awake and radiant. But what can we do to make our brows look fuller and more defined? We reveal the top 3 tips for striking eyebrows so you can easily recreate the look!
Who still remembers the thinly plucked eyebrows of the 90s? Back then absolutely trendy, today we are shocked when we see old pictures of ourselves with thinly plucked brows. Today, defined, fuller eyebrows are back "in." Admittedly, the trend is not entirely new. At the latest since the era of British top model Cara Delevingne, the distinctive bushy brows are fully back in style.
But what can we do to make our brows look bushier and more defined? We reveal the top 3 tips for striking eyebrows so you can easily recreate the look.
1. Eyebrow lifting
The easiest way to quickly achieve fuller-looking eyebrows is "brow lifting." This treatment has especially established itself in Germany this year. Although the name "lift" might suggest the treatment has something to do with Botox: think again! A so-called "brow lift" or eyebrow lamination is a beauty treatment usually performed in cosmetic studios. Here, the eyebrow hairs are brushed upwards into shape and fixed, creating a particularly expressive and full look, making the eyebrows appear lifted.
The brows are treated with a chemical tint that allows the hair structure to be changed and combed in one direction. Then, in a second step called "lamination," the brows are shaped into their desired form and finally dyed and trimmed. The result is impressive: lifted, fluffy brows that stay naturally brushed upwards for about 3 to 6 weeks. That means: no more eyebrow gel and annoying morning shaping – you just woke up like this ;)
You are welcome to try the treatment yourself and book an appointment at one of the many specialized brow bars:

Berlin: Augenbrauen Design
Munich, Düsseldorf and Berlin: The Browery
2. Tracing and thickening
If you don't want to try brow lifting, you have the option to enhance your look with makeup. Especially popular are eyebrow pencils. My favorite: Bobbi Brown. Of course, you can also use brow mascara instead. This not only fixes the brow shape with a special gel extract but also deposits color particles, like those from Charlotte Tilbury! I swear by it! Alternatively, you can also fill in your brows with powder. I find the pomade from Anastasia Beverly Hills great: Easy to apply with a brush, you can fill in the gaps in your brows and immediately have a fuller brow look. Then fix it with a transparent gel like the one from Benefit and the natural big-brows look is done!
3. Stimulate growth & care: Castor oil
A great add-on - whether you want to care for your brows after lifting or want to make them grow faster - is castor oil! Castor oil has been proven to stimulate hair growth and can be applied in the evening to both brows and lashes with a lash brush. I especially recommend the castor oil from Junglück.
