The strong eyebrow comeback was a hit at the shows of Yves Saint Laurent, Vera Wang, Louis Vuitton, and Marc Jacobs, who stated that this season was “all about the return of the eyebrows.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Strong Eyebrow Trend:** Opportunity for cosmetics companies to develop eyebrow products to cater to the demand. - **Body Modification Trend:** Opportunity for cosmetic surgeons and body modification studios to offer Spock-inspired pointy ears. - **Eyebrow-focused Fashion Trend:** Opportunity for fashion designers to incorporate eyebrow-focused designs into their collections. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Cosmetics Industry:** Opportunity for E.L.F.
