A surprising trend that is gaining steam this summer is bleached eyebrows. Remember just last month when Kim Kardashian dyed her brows so light, they practically disappeared on her face? Well, another celebrity has joined the bleached eyebrow club. Earlier this week, Lizzo debuted a new look on social media — bright blonde brows and a matching pixie cut — and honestly, we’re kind of into it.
On June 28, Lizzo surprised her followers by posting a photo of the makeover on Instagram. The close-up shot highlights her wispy haircut, which skims her newly bleached brows, and the monochromatic look is complete with a graphic eye makeup moment. She captioned the photo, which has been liked over 200k times, with the short-haired emoji.
Lizzo also took to TikTok to share a behind-the-scenes look at the process, courtesy of celebrity makeup artist Alexx Mayo. The video shows the star with a bleaching solution on one brow, then the other, before revealing the final look; it’s set to the soundtrack of “Shake That Ass x Roll Me Up” by J. Earl.
In a follow up to the transformation video, Lizzo reveals four more selfies showing off her bold new look. “Karen’s back,” she captioned the post, referencing the memed “Karen haircut.” And fans are loving it. “The Karen cut looks really good on u, also I’m convinced u can’t look bad in anything honestly,” one person commented. (We happen to agree.)
While not everyone could pull off this look, we’re here to say that Lizzo looks stunning with bleached eyebrows and the buttery blonde hair color, which beautifully complements her skin tone and makes her big brown eyes pop. However, it’s safe to assume she is wearing a wig and dramatic celebrity beauty changes like this one are usually short-lived.
As for those bleached eyebrows? Screenshot them while you can, especially if you’re considering making the bold move yourself. The trend seems to be catching on more and more, with everyone from Kim K to Katy Perry to Maisie Williams and now Lizzo sporting the look. Google searches for bleached brows have also seen a spike in recent weeks, proving the polarizing trend may be catching on with the masses, too.
