We're really sorry to do this to you guys, seeing as you've just gotten over the recent trend of barbed-wire brows and feather brows, but a new eyebrow look has surfaced on social media, and it looks like the cross between a snake, an inch worm, and a Tim Burton acid trip. Are you ready for it? We present to you: wavy brows.

RELATED STORY

The look, which was first posted in its true wave-like form a few weeks ago by makeup artist Jessica Brodersen, features a thick brow with a wavy, wiggly tail, which is more the effect of a brow pencil than it is the shaping of eyebrow hair.

Since then, a few other makeup artists have tested out the style, taking the wave up a few dozen notches by fully shaping their eyebrows into chevron-level squiggles, some of which look sorta, kinda, really look Photoshopped.

It's too early to call this brow look a tried-and-true trend, especially since Kylie Jenner hasn't tried it yet, but at least you'll now be prepared for the day it does inevitably fill your social feed.
