The summertime is all about trying new things, even if that means taking your eyebrows off. And while that change may be a bit drastic for some, for Kristen Stewart it's a no-brainer. When she recently arrived on a Korean red carpet with a face visibly more bald than before, fans went crazy and wondered what happened to those perfectly arched hairs that women and men alike envy.
The answer is simple, but it may not be what you think.
Kristen Stewart is serious brow goals.
Her natural brows really need no help at all. They're full, perfectly shaped, and have just the right amount of the furrowed appearance people legit pay good money for. And even when she was on the big screen fighting vampires, we couldn't help but focus mostly on her fantastic arches.
But what if we told you those perfect brows were gone?
Yep, gone. The beauty daredevil is taking a break from her dark brows for something much more unnoticeable, and she looks fabulous. And while most of us would look like thumbs if we took the plunge of stripping our upper brow bones of its already sparse hair, the switch-up seriously makes her look like a rock star.
But not so fast.
She didn't just take a razor to her brows, everyone; she simply bleached them and added concealer for added drama with the help of her longtime makeup artist Beau Nelson. So no need to worry. If Stewart isn't feeling the look anymore, all she has to do is grow those bad boys right back out — which for her should take no time.
She revealed the look on the red carpet in Seoul, South Korea.
On the red carpet for the Chanel Metiers d'Art Show, Stewart paired the muted brows with an unbuttoned white blouse, leather shorts, high black boots, and a green eye shadow look. She basically looked like a grunge supermodel goddess in the flesh.
The change came just weeks after her half-orange/half-bleached brow look appeared at the Met Gala.
After fans went crazy about her two-toned brows a few weeks back, Stewart is clearly feeling avant garde brows this season. What will be next? Maybe some neon fun? We'd love to see her in a lime green — that would be fierce.
And fans are loving it.
"She looks great with the lighter brows too. No more orange colour but still great," said a fan who clearly wanted Stewart to keep the orange brows past fashion's big night. It's a dream that all of us share, trust us. But hey, with bleached brows, adding some color will be that much easier. Let's see the orange again!
A few people are ready to be done with dark, bushy brows as a whole.
"Love the bleached eyebrow look. Enough with brow bushes," another said who much prefers the demure look on Stewart over the bold brows that most of us have come to know and love. And while we're not sure if we fully agree, for now the bleach will surely do.
While others called it "genius."
"Im absolutely obsessed with this look, just think it's genius," someone said praising Nelson for the entirety of the bold makeup look. You have to be pretty skilled at the art of beating faces to make a bleached brow look so fierce.
Her appeal cannot be denied.
The actress has basically mastered androgyny, bringing life to the most masculine or feminine of looks. It seems almost effortless, and once she chopped her hair off, her look became even more to-die-for.
"Not to be dramatic, but Kristin [sic] Stewart is literally better looking than any man I've ever met in my twenty years of life," a serious Stewart fan said.
But of course, there's always that one critic.
"All I have to do for this look is stand under too bright and poorly distributed overhead lighting. I also get a fun 'lightbulb up my nose' look from that," someone who was unimpressed by the new look wrote.
So what are your thoughts? Does Stewart have you ready to bleach yours brows too? For now, we're not ready, but there's no telling what the future holds.
