Cardi B introduced a controversial ’90s beauty trend at the Oscars after-party
Cardi B made a bold statement at the Oscars after-party by bringing back a controversial ’90s beauty trend: razor-thin eyebrows. Known for her daring makeup and fashion choices, Cardi B’s glam team often pushes boundaries with eye-catching looks, ranging from vibrant wigs to unconventional hairstyles. However, her latest move involved embracing the ultra-thin eyebrow trend, previously seen on Balenciaga’s runway and her own freestyle cover art.
Cardi’s makeup artist, Erika La’ Pearl, revealed the “skinny brow” technique on Instagram, detailing the process of achieving the sleek, thinned-out look. La’ Pearl begins by applying lаsh glue to the eyebrows to flatten the hairs against the face.
Then, she uses an angled eyebrow brush to apply an orange color corrector concealer to shape and define the brows, creating the illusion of a narrower shape. Next, a concealer matching Cardi’s skin tone is applied to clean up and refine the brows, followed by using an eyebrow pen to add hair-like strokes for definition. Finally, foundation is used to tidy up the top of the brows, resulting in a bold yet precise look.
Cardi’s embrace of this controversial beauty trend certainly sparked conversation at the Oscars after-party, proving once again her influence in the world of beauty and style.
