How quickly we forget the pencil-thin brows of 2001, when all that could be heard between the hours of 8pm and 10pm was the gentle pluck of tweezers. On a barely painted face, models at Giambattista Valli brushed their eyebrows bushy and bold, a look that can be mimicked simply by pushing your ring finger through your own. For those unblessed, each year brings more riches in brow products – try MAC’s new Eye Brows Styler for understated definition.
