Make your eyebrow look rainbow-ish with a hue in it. If there are color streaks in the hair, the same color can be added to the eyebrow as well, or maybe a lighter or darker shade of it. If otherwise, a color to your liking can also be added. One half of the eyebrow can be painted, and the other can be left as original.

 

5. Horizontal Slit

A horizontal eyebrow slit is a shaving of the eyebrow horizontally in the middle. The slit goes from the start till where the eyebrow takes a downward turn (if one’s does). Otherwise, it can just travel along the length of the brow. It will still look bold and beautiful.

 

6. Fishtail Slit

This one is more common in feminine society. A slit is made at the end part of the brow and just before the end, the part is upturned to give a wavy and fishtail-like look (this requires more than just trimming, threading, and tweezing). In addition to it being already extraordinary-looking, color can be added on the latter part of the brow to enhance it more.

7. Star Slit

This style can be made as a combination of two unique styles- a star and a double-slit. First, it is assessed where the slits can be made, followed by what goes first: the star or the double-slit design. According to what the stylist likes the best, the shape is shaved. Either way, this eyebrow slit type is a worthy one to be tried by women.
