Nicola Peltz Beckham fever reached an all-time high when she walked down the aisle to marry her now-husband Brooklyn Beckham at her father's famed Palm Beach compound in April earlier this year. Her 90s supermodel-inspired hair and beauty look made headlines the world over - find out which £35 highlighter her bridal make-up artist Kate Lee used on the big day right here - and her custom haute couture Valentino gown was lauded among the fashion set.
Since the A-list pair tied the knot, social media has been laser focused on their antics, and on high alert for any more beauty snippets that might issue forth from Nicola's channels. The newlywed and aspiring actress hasn't disappointed. Whether it's the £19 overnight lip serum that Nicola applies every evening, the statement new hair colour that she debuted just before New York Fashion Week, or the 'strawberry frosted blush' trendshe kicked off, the Nicola-Peltz-approved beauty recommendations are there for the taking.
This week Nicola was at it again. After causing a blinding stream of camera flashes from the wall of paparazzi attending Paris Fashion Week by revealing a set of newly bleached brows, Nicola took to her Instagram page to show that her eyebrows are back but not as you know them.
Nicola's brows looked precision-tweezed and sparse in the two images she posted in the carousel, accompanied by the caption: 'No make-up, no brows giving hard boiled egg.' Having channelled the big hair, smoked-up eyes and nude lip of a 90s Claudia Schiffer on her wedding day, it's no surprise to see Nicola dipping into the era's well-known beauty trends once again, but are we really ready to follow suit and revert to the micro-brows that plagued our school days?
Having spent nearly a decade being taught to thicken, brush-up and define a set of full brows, a move back to barely-there feels like a stretch. The likes of Nicola might be happy to get experimental, but it's worth noting that they have a willing tribe of professionals on speed-dial who will happily hop across and rectify any beauty fail in moments at the merest hint of regret. As most of us aren't blessed with this luxury, a hefty dose of caution is advised. Don't make any moves until you are certain that you're 100 percent committed - and by 100 percent committed, we mean full-on craving the look - and then and only then, put your new look in the hands of a professional. Statement brows should not fall under the DIY remit.

2 of 7Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz, £23
'I love the skinny pencil nib that allows for slight strokes to mimic natural hairs. Plus, the formulation is as long-wearing as they come – and I've tried a LOT' - Joely Walker, Head of Beauty

'Once you've got your colour sorted, slick this over the top and it will keep your hardwork preened and put all day, without drying crisp like some other clear gels' - Joely Walker, Head of Beauty
4 of 7Glossier Boy Brow, £14
'I'm famously clumsy when it comes to defining my own eyebrows, so steered clear of most products (we're talking eyebrow pens and pencils here) until eyebrow gels became a 'thing'. Even then, if the formula is too pigmented I can end up pressing too hard wrecking my whole make-up look in one fell blotch. Enter Glossier's Boy Brow. Even their brown shade is fool-proof. I'm hooked. I've officially found 'the one'' - Annie Vischer, Beauty Editor.
5 of 7Maybelline Brow Tattoo Longlasting Tint, £12.99
'I've always shied away from tinting. The reason being my brows are naturally very dark and I've always found them quite jarring against my bleached blonde hair. But, after hearing rave reviews from a friend - I thought I'd give this at-home tint a go, and I loved the results. So easy to use, you apply the gel over your brows – leave on for a couple of hours before peeling it off. The results? Your brows but better – it fills in sparse areas and creates a fuller finish' – Emma Stoddart, Grazia Beauty Contributor
6 of 7Dior Diorshow Brow Styler, £22
'If I had to pick my desert island beauty product – this would be it. The thin pencil makes application a total doddle - you can fill, shape and define with small, hair-like flicks. And the creamy formula is so easy to build up. The downside? I get through it in a matter of weeks' – Emma Stoddart, Grazia Beauty Contributor
7 of 7Hourglass Arch Brow Volumizing Fiber Gel, £27
'This nifty little brush plumps up brows making them look fuller, more defined and darker (depending on the shade you choose). It's super easy to apply and looks really natural' – **Emma Stoddart, Beauty Writer**
