New Brow Era Alert: The Bella Hadid S-Shape Brow

When Bella shifts her brow, the industry follows. And her latest look? A brow no one saw coming - and is already setting a new standard already.


We traced every era that led to this moment.

Bella Hadid: Brow It-Girl

Bella Hadid doesn’t wait for trends to arrive -  she creates them.


Case in point: her appearance at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where she debuted a brow unlike anything we’ve seen hit the trends within the 21st century - curved, sculptural, and unlike any shape dominating TikTok or red carpets right now.


The S-brow is here, and unsurprisingly, Bella wore it first.

But this isn’t a one-off moment. Bella’s brows have always marked the beginning of something new,  quietly (or not-so-quietly) reshaping how we define beauty.

Each shift in her brow era reflects a new mood, a new era, a new way of seeing the face, but always a statement.

And the best part? You don’t even need a red carpet to try them.

We’ve decoded each of Bella Hadid’s most iconic brow moments, and built the toolkit to help you recreate & redefine them to suit your style.

2021: The Bare Brow Era

Brows, but barely.


In 2021, Bella did something bold by doing... less. Bleached, blurred, or barely there, this was her version of rebellion: taking something that’s traditionally used to define and frame the face, and removing it almost entirely.

It’s making a comeback in 2025 but let’s not forget who did it first.


WHY IT WORKED

It put focus on her bone structure. It let the rest of her features - skin, lips, eyes - take centre stage. And it challenged our ideas of what’s “polished.”


Spoiler: polished doesn’t always mean filled-in.


TRY IT IF

You’re in a minimalist mood, or want to soften the face with less structure and more space.



PRODUCT PAIRING

Clear Brow Gloss: a lightweight, flexible hold with zero pigment. Use it to smooth what’s there or set bleached brows without adding colour.

It’s the low-effort essential for a no-brow day.

2022: The Laminated Era

Brows that look done, but not overly so.

In 2022, Bella Hadid leaned into the laminated look: a brushed-up, slicked-back shape that gives the illusion of fullness and lift, even if you’re working with sparse hairs.


WHY IT WORKED

It struck a balance between sculpted and natural.

The lamination effect gave structure, but the glossy finish kept it modern - think off-duty model meets editorial.


TRY IT IF

You want definition without having to reach for a pencil, or you're after a clean, high-shine finish that still looks effortless, every single day.



TREATMENT PAIRING

Brow Lamination: Our cult-classic brow treatment that lifts, smooths, and sets every hair into place for up to 6 weeks.

It’s the no-effort way to wake up with fuller, glossier, more defined brows -  no product needed.

Perfect for anyone who wants the glossy, lifted look, but without the daily maintenance.

2023: The Straight Era

Flat, straight, and emotionally neutral (in the best way).

Bella’s 2023 brow moment ditched the arch completely -  opting for a linear, elongated shape that read as cool, calm, and slightly detached.

The kind of brow that doesn’t try too hard but still changes your whole face.


WHY IT WORKED

It gave the illusion of a lifted eye without filler or tape.

The absence of a curve elongated her bone structure and brought an unexpected elegance.



TRY IT IF

You’re after the kind of lift usually reserved for injectables — a sculpted, elongated brow that subtly reshapes the face and gives the illusion of a more defined bone structure. It’s like a mini face-lift, minus the downtime.



PRODUCT PAIRING

Super Grip Tweezers — designed with ultra-sharp precision tips and unmatched grip to catch even the finest hairs on the first try.

Whether you're reshaping your arch or removing tails to create that flat, straight silhouette, these tweezers don’t slip, snag, or miss.


They’re not your average tweezers - they’re your new secret weapon for sculpting with perfect precision.

2025: The S-Shape Brow

Debuted at Cannes. Sculptural. Surreal. Entirely new.


Bella’s latest look, revealed just two days ago, is already shaping up to be the brow trend of the year.

The S-brow curves and dips in all the right places, creating a soft wave that lifts, angles, and sculpts the face like no other shape before it.


WHY IT WORKS

It adds dimension and movement: it’s less about symmetry and more about shape.

The curve brings focus to the brow bone and creates a built-in lift without any harsh lines.



TRY IT IF

You love playing with form and want something that feels directional, not derivative. Or if you’re simply ready to try something entirely new.



PRODUCT PAIRING


Ultimate Arch Brow Definer - carve out the signature S-curve with precision and control, using our award-winning, waxy nib pencil.

Tinted Brow Gel - the final step: set it in place with a glossy finish that holds for 14+ hours, adds depth, and conditions every last hair.
