Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The news, trumpeted with increasing volume over recent seasons, that fuller brows are back may have had you feeling, by turns, confused, relieved and slightly afraid.

Confused, because it's been a long time since it was acceptable to be separated from your tweezers for 48 hours.

Relieved, because it's nice to have one less area subject to rigorous hair removal. And afraid because, taken to its extreme in the form of the supermodel-meets-drag-queen "Scouse brow", this trend looks about as natural as a Clegg-Cameron man-hug.

Still, in moderate form, fuller brows are a short cut to looking younger, hence many of us spending 2012 coaxing our own into regrowth. For the control freak, this is worse than daily plucking, dependent as it is on follicular whim.

To help you resist reaching for the tweezers, the products below will see you through the annoying, gappy stage. And if you do succumb, they'll provide a perfectly groomed finish for brows of all shapes and sizes.
