Let's be honest, the fateful noughties eyebrow happened to us all. Is it wrong that we sort of blame Kate Moss?

Overplucked, super thin 'tadpole' brows were the celebrity look du jour, but since then? Well, let's just say our brow obsession (and a revelation that it just made our foreheads look massive) has lead to a much-needed face-framing overhaul.

From Victoria Beckham's 'fashion brow' transformation to Angelina Jolie and Gwen Stefani's minimal to natural eyebrow make-over, these are the celebrity eyebrow before and afters you need to see.

It's official - flash photography was no one's friend in the noughties. Highlighting J Lo's sparse brows, we're glad she's gone for a more camera-friendly look of late.

With seemingly a life of their own, Nicole Kidman's eyebrows were at one point crawling away from her face. Thankfully, in recent years, the actress has managed to lock them down to form the perfect natural arch.

Adele

And our love for Adele just hit new heights. Proving that a well-groomed eyebrow (and a dash of contouring) can genuinely transform a face, we love that even the goddess that is Adele made this classic make-up mistake.

A perfect example of what we like to call the 'comma', Drew Barrymore's brows could have lived a previous life on Betty Boop. Thankfully Drew returned them and groomed her own eyebrows into perfection.
