The best celebrity brow transformations

We’ve always been envious of Jolie’s voluptuous pout, but her brows were the opposite of full back in the day.

See how a thicker brow shape leaves her features looking balanced? Her arch is perfectly placed and her brows look far fresher with a little extra fullness.

Talk about a sharp arch. The harsh shape is pretty severe, and leaves Lovato looking a little more 'angry-meets-surprised' than usual.

A more natural curved shape softens Lovato's look instantly. The fuller, less angular arch is much more flattering, too.

Overplucked and unruly is not a good combination. With sparse brow hairs like Conrad’s, it's important to fill in the gaps and use a brow gel to set the shape. 

Talk about a successful brow rehab story. The all-over fullness and subtle arch create the perfect face-framing effect.

Yes Wilde’s brows are super thin, but her biggest mistake back then was not filling them in. Thanks to her delicate features, she can get away with a slightly thinner brow, but it's the sparseness that leaves them looking particularly lacklustre.

Notice the softer arch angle and the lovely length of the brow which extends slightly beyond the outer corner of her almond eyes? Wilde's look shows that brows don't have to be super full to be great.

Stefani's ‘90s brows never did her any favours. Her love of bold, brazen looks could have been so much more impactful with a bushy set of brows to ground them.

Same bold beauty look-loving Stefani, completely different brows. A thicker shape gives her a sophisticated look, without taking away from her statement style.

As well as the obvious lack of fullness in Kunis’ brows, it’s the placement of her arch that really lets her down. It gives her brows a raised appearance and doesn’t adequately frame her eyes.

Kunis’ thick power brows deliver a far more striking effect. The arch is perfect, the inner section of the brow is thick but tapers off slightly at the outer corner, and she’s filled them in for a groomed finish.

Sure, Longoria's hair was darker at the time, too, but we definitely prefer her with a slightly warmer, lighter brow colour. The funny part is, they were no doubt considered to be on the fuller side at the time, too... how trends have changed.

Longoria's arch transformation proves that thicker brows can in fact soften the face; it's all about choosing a shade and shape combo that flatters your features.

Meester's brows were definitely on the thin side, but the strange arch didn't help matters; the shape is definitely a little, er, unruly.

Does the B in Queen B stand for brows? Well, it should. The Gossip Girl star underwent a stellar brow transformation throughout the show, and these days they look better than ever.

Even the best brows have a secret, overplucked past, and Hale's now-enviable arches are no different. Although it was all the rage back then, her super thin brows are a far cry from her current ones.

This arch makeover is pretty hard to beat. Hale's thick, bold brows are now one of her most notable features and pretty much define the term #browgoals.

Fact: we all wanted to be Mandy Moore in the ‘00s. But looking back, those ridiculously thin, extremely light brows weren't actually as amazing as we once thought.

Moore’s brows have gone through a drastic change.; they’re now a good few shades darker and considerably thicker. The subtle arch is way more flattering, too. We approve.
