意味

Eyebrow makeup; shaping, filling, and styling eyebrows, which is a major trend topic in Japanese beauty.

眉メイク is considered one of the most impactful parts of a makeup routine in Japan. The 'ideal eyebrow' shape changes dramatically with trends — from the thin, arched brows of the 1990s to the straight, natural-looking Korean-influenced brows of the 2020s. Beauty content about 眉メイク consistently ranks among the most viewed, and products like eyebrow pencils, powders, and tints are bestsellers. Getting eyebrow shape right is seen as the key to looking polished.
