Eyebrows have been high on the agenda in New York this week, writes Tamsin Blanchard. While hair and make-up have been natural and low key, eyebrows have been fiercely prominent. At Donna Karan's DKNY show and Byron Lars, brows were heavily defined, but Todd Oldham took them to extremes when he glued shiny black plastic eyebrow shapes to the faces of his models.

Over the past few seasons, we have seen eyebrows so fine they have almost disappeared. For a while, jolie laide model Kristen MacMenamy shaved hers off. You could try this with a pair of scissors and gaffer tape. Be warned - you might end up eyebrow-less when you pull the tape off. Stick- on brows could catch on; they certainly beat permanent eyebrow tattoos.
