Just to further prove to us all that eyebrows are having the most intense beauty moment of 2015, this Reddit user came along.

Chiry was followed by a goat for two miles and he thought it would make a great viral post. It definitely did, but probably not for the reason that he expected. 

Chiry took a selfie and posted: “While on a run, this goat started following me… and kept up for 2 miles (before being picked up by its owners.)”

Normally, the internet loves a funny story that includes a goat. So much so that there is even an app now that literally just makes goat noises.

However, Reddit users could not have cared less about the goat. 

Chiry’s eyebrows quickly became a sensation.

We can see why, look at those brows, they are majestic. 

So, following internet traditions seeing as we really in the glory days of the meme, people started having fun in Photoshop.

The post went viral for an entirely different reason than Chiry expected. 

We have to have respect for Chirv though. He has taken his internet fame with good humour and has responded to hundreds of users on Reddit.

To be fair, most people probably just want to know how he maintains the brows.

We feel as though that was probably the reason behind the goat following him around too. We just want to make sure that this never happens.

If you love a strong-brow look (and yes, pretty much everyone does), then you're probably already coveting the incredible arches of one Zendaya. 

Yes, the singer and actress might just about have the most perfect eyebrows we've ever seen (sorry, Cara).

She usually pairs her statement brows with a complementing cat-eye and a soft nude or rose-hued lip.

However, whether she's dressed up or dressed down, those on fleek brow are still very much there present and correct. 

So now the only question is… how do we too get our hands on Zendaya's brows?

OK, so the 19-year-old was definitely given a major helping hand genetically, but certainly the LA-native is giving us all-sorts of browspiration. 

Here, SHEmazing! examines the five best products for fabulouso eyebrows. 

 

1) Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo: Priced at €20.20, this product is fab for filling in gaps and inconsistencies. 

 

 

2) Benefit Speed Brow: Set in lightning-quick time and gives a gorgeous, natural finish that Zendaya would be proud of. 

 

3) RevitaBrow Advanced: Yup, it's €75 BUT if you're desperate and have serious case of over-plucking, this is brilliant to re-growth. 

 

4) MAC Brow Set: Another quick 'n' easy product, this is perfect for a sleek look and ramains a stable of bloggers and makeup artists. Priced at €18.

5) Ottie Natural Drawing Auto Pencil: A steal at just €7.50, this flat pencil can twist and turn to do just about anything.

We all know that Cara Delevingne is the reigning eyebrow queen, but the truth is that her power arches is simply NOT one-size-fits-all. 

While it's obviously a natural look for the model, the bold and thick style doesn't work for all face shapes. 

The best way to achieve a great brow for your face shape is to play up to what we were born with; but that isn't so easy after years of shaping, tweezing and waxing – some of us don't even remember what our natural arches look like. 

Jog your memory

The easiest way to remember what your natural brow looks like is to look back on your pre-tweezing days. Find a picture of yourself from your early teens and that should give a good indication to what they looked like before. 

 

Grow, grow, grow

We're afraid it's time to join brow rehab ladies! That means NO hair removal whatsoever for at least eight weeks. By eight weeks you will begin to see your natural brow line again. Growth serums are great if you want to speed up the process.

 

Tint it

Tinting can be a game changer, even if you have naturally dark hair. Sometimes your brows might look quite sparse, but the hair is actually just lighter in some places. Tinting is a great natural way to enhance what hair you have, as well as richen and define your brows. 

 

Tweeze strays – conservatively 

When your eyebrows finally get back to their original state, don't go crazy plucking away the strays.

Eyebrow guru, William Scott, told Marie Claire,  "It's very helpful to fill in your ideal eyebrow shape with pencil or powder first. Be sure to extend ends all the way across the brow bone when filling in—the ends are most important. This will give you a more clear idea of what should be tweezed and what should be left alone."

 

Choose the right powder 

You've made it this far, so be sure to not sabotage your new know-how by selecting the wrong shade for your colouring. 

"Choose a shade that is the same as your eyebrow hair color, not the hair on your head, as sometimes it is a different shade. If you have red hair, use a warm blonde. If you're blonde, use a taupe or soft, ash brown. Brunettes should use a medium brown and grey or silver foxes should use an ash brown or taupe."

 

Set everything with gel

Think of it as the mascara of the eyebrow. Gel not only adds colour, but also thickness and fullness to the brow hair. The hold the gel offers is excellent also so be sure to brush the product into the brow correctly.

While we have all been obsessing over smoky eye tutorials and spending silly amounts of time attempting to ensure absolute symmetry when it comes to our winged eyeliner; other makeup aficionados have been going down a different route.

Instead of dedicating their beauty routines to dark liner and  the same four shades of beige to dark brown shadows, more beauty bloggers are creating more unique looks and we love it. We already discovered that blue eyeshadow is making a bit of a comeback so we might as well embrace it and branch out.

Go for all gold everything:

Try a lighter take on the ‘smoky eye’

If you can’t part with the precious cat eye, add a second colour for some variety:

Embrace all of the pastels:

Or maybe spend less time on the eye makeup and go for a bold ruby lip instead:

Sometimes when your brows are on point, you don’t need any other make up:

But then there’s also this two-tone look that we are very intrigued by:

Or you can just go for it entirely and blow everyone’s mind, werk:

These days it seems that there is a new beauty trend that we absolutely must try nearly every five seconds.

In case you haven’t noticed, eyebrows are having something of a beauty moment as it is so it is no surprise really then that the latest trend is all about the brows. This time instead of shaping, threading, waxing or even contouring them, people are dyeing them.

We do not mean with the aim of matching our hair colour either. People are dyeing their eyebrows after taking inspiration from the colours of the rainbow.

So think violet, aqua, red and even orange.

Blue eyebrows are now on fleek, and we really have no idea whether we love this or not.

Expert colourist Aura Friedman has also pointed out that as your eyebrows are so close to your eyes, naturally, you need to exercise some caution if you decide to take the plunge.

Also, it would probably be best to consult a professional, because there really is no hiding from these bad boys…

We all know the drill by now… You created beautiful, perfect brows this morning and come lunch time your strong brow game has changed to a no-brow game.

While you might assume that your nose, eyes or mouth is the most important feature on your face, scientists beg to differ. 

In a recent study by the University Of Lethbridge in Canada, researchers found that your EYEBROWS hold the highest face value. 

Beyond their function as a filter against dust, dirt and sweat that might enter your eyes, brows have a strong social significance for "emotional expression as well as facial recognition". 

Given the general fascination about lush brows over the past few years, we can't really say we're surprised. 

If we weren't born with Cara-esque brows, we're compensating with brow fillers, tints, growth-stimulating serums and even hair transplant procedures. 

But now we know we're not going crazy as the obsession with our arches is finally validated with factual evidence. 

Thank you, science!

The researchers of the study showed 25 images of celebrities without brows, followed by 25 images of celebs without eyes. 

The participants were able to correctly identify over half (56 percent) of the stars shown without eyes, yet only 46 percent of the celebrities shown without brows. 

So the conclusion? Eyebrows are more important than eyes if you want to make a good impression. 

Hurrah!

With brows-on-fleek celebrities including Cara Delevingne and Megan Fox sporting perfect arches… it's no surprise that big, beautiful eyebrows are going nowhere any time soon.

Certainly, it's THE trend of 2015 – despite knocking around for a few years now. 

However, when it comes to achieving the perfect look, it's also a minefield out there.

First came pencils, then mascara, then gels – then the massively popular HD Brow method. Even eyebrow tattoos are now an increasingly popular thing.

And after all that – it seems are eyebrows are moving on, yet again, to pastures news.

Yes, the latest product to enter the market promises to trump its predecessors. In fact, it maintains that you can achieve salon-perfect brows in your own home and for half of the price. Hurrah!

Marketed as WUNDERBROW, it's priced at €30… and suffice to say we're pretty excited. The manufactures claim its transfer-proof, water-proof, last for days and looks natural. 

Intrigued, we decided to look into the product on behalf of SHEmazing! to see can it really lives up to its promises: can it, for example, really last for days with just one application, and how natural does it really look?

It claims to contain an exclusive blend of hair-like fibres combined with specifically-treated pigments, which is designed to fasten on to hair and skin. 

And we can confirm that the results are definitely natural-looking brows that really last!

The product is dermatological approved too, which is obviously a big win from us. It's not just us, either: the reviews it's getting are pretty great, especially from people who have suffer hair loss due to illness.

If you're looking for a new brow product without breaking the bank, then this is definitely something to try out – you can check out the website here.

We’re not entirely sure why were so surprised to hear this news. Considering that eyebrows have become a bit of a ‘thing’ in the fashion and beauty world, it was only a matter of time before a logical solution to sparse brows came along.

There are countless products and methods available to help you achieve fuller looking brows, darker brows, better arches and even lighter looking brows.

Some people though were just unfortunately caught up in the 90s trend of having no eyebrows whatsoever. Never forget: pencil brows. Other people just have thin brows, whatever the reason you can now ensure your brows at their highest fleek potential.

Let us introduce you to the fabulous, wonderful world of eyebrow extensions.

Founder of brow bar Wink, Umbreen Sheikh told Buzzfeed Life that the process can take “up to two and a half hours.”

Look at those results though, totally worth it.

Brow technicians (yes, those are a thing now), dip tiny synthetic hairs into skin-safe glue and then apply them individually to the skin. Amazing.

“People who have lost their eyebrows to alopecia, chemotherapy, and anxiety disorders come to us for extensions,” explains Sheikh. She did warn that the results may not last as long for people who have a tendancy to sweat a little more than usual, just FYI.

The results are incredible. Anyone who went a little too happy hands with the tweezer is in for a treat with these magic brows.

Eyebrows have become one of the most talked about features in the beauty world of late, and it’s really no surprise why. Your eyebrows are what frame your face and when you get them on point, all of your most fabulous features will be emphasised. It might take some practice, but trust us, that feeling when your brows are living their best life is worth it.

So, if you’re feeling like those brows of yours could use a little TLC, fret not, we gathered up some of the most commons reasons our eyebrow game can be a little lacking. And remember; they’re supposed to be sisters, not twins, so work that arch ladies.

Are your eyebrows looking a little square?

 A harsh finish can make them look a little too done. You can avoid this little snafu no matter what beauty instrument is your go-to by using smaller strokes at this part of the brow to create a shape that doesn’t resemble a lego, or a maths problem.

Are your eyebrows too long?

Extending the length of your lashes can make your face look a little droopy. Avoid this by holding an eyebrow pencil diagonally from your nose towards your outer eye. If your brow is going past the pencil, stop, and think about your choices.

Do you shape your brows? 

Fuller brows are the ‘big thing’ right now, thank you Cara. But, bushy brows are another. If you don’t have time to see a professional to tame your brows, get a good tweezers and follow your natural shape (where the most hair is) and focus on just getting rid of the strays.

You don’t blend your eyebrow pencil?

What!? That is brow blasphemy. Blending is the best way to give your brows a natural shape. Remember you want to mimic the hairs already there, so use small and light strokes to give your brows some volume without going for intense brow definition.

Do you use too much? 

Look, the journey to on point brows is not an easy one. Sometimes the phrase ‘less is more’ needs to be repeated. Start applying gently, and remember it’s always easier to build up on the product if you want a stronger brow, than having to take everything off and start from scratch. Nobody wants that, nobody.
