The past few years have seen something of an eyebrow renaissance, from the squiggle brow to the feather brow to -- yes, this is real -- the Christmas tree brow.
The latest brow trend has Instagram literally splitting hairs: fishtail brows.

The trend started with skyzeditz, a makeup account on Instagram known for photoshopping new looks on influencers and celebrities. They posted this edited photo of a selfie from makeup artist dessimua.

Like many of the people commenting on Kattan's post, we just want to know why this look was created.
Were braid brows not enough? Was it inspired by a certain Academy Award contender, like the Shape of Waterfish-man dildo? How do you pull off this look without looking angry all the time?
Despite the criticism, Kattan and skyzeditz inspired other makeup artists to try the trend themselves.

As wild as the look is, you kind of have to admire the artistic skill it takes to create these otherworldly brows.

Sure the brows make the wearers look like fairy tale villains, but paired with sweeping lashes and expertly blended smokey eyes, they're glamorousvillains.
Not everyone is about this mermaid-inspired trend, but it's definitely a creative choice if you're down to try a more adventurous look.
