Ever wonder why we have eyebrows? Science has the answer: as early humans evolved, eyebrows allowed them to convey the subtle and complex emotions that are essential for communication.
But in more recent times, eyebrows have another purpose: fashion accessories for your face! Instagram is full of amateur and professional beauticians who have been inventing new and fantastical ways to decorate the strips of hair above our eyes. Like Halo Brows.
