On the first Monday of May, celebrities descend to the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the illustrious Met Gala. This year’s Met Gala 2026 theme, “Fashion is Art,” brought a wave of creativity to the red carpet, with beauty looks becoming just as expressive as the fashion itself. Brows took centre stage as celebrities and makeup artists embraced bold, artistic choices - from ultra-light bleached brows that created a striking effect, to softly sculpted arches with a subtle tint and beautifully defined brows reminiscent of vintage Hollywood glamour. The night’s beauty trends proved that brows are no longer just a finishing touch; they’re part of the overall statement.
Bleached brows emerged as one of the defining looks of the evening, delivering a modern, editorial feel. At the same time, natural-looking textured brows in rich complementary tones showed that soft definition still has a place alongside high-fashion experimentation.
As the trend continues to gain momentum beyond the red carpet, many beauty lovers are now looking to recreate the look – or seamlessly return their brows to an everyday shade. The Apraise Vegan Tints, available in six intermixable shades, allow artists to create bespoke brow colours for every client, restoring depth, dimension, and beautifully balanced definition.
Recreate the Look for Your Client
Hailey Bieber opted for softly defined warm brown brows that perfectly complemented her sun-kissed complexion and neutral makeup look. The rich, dimensional tone added softness and balance to her features.
Recreate Hailey Bieber's brows by mixing an equal 1:1 ratio of Apraise Light Brown & Dark Brown Vegan Tints and applying for 5-10 minutes.
Sabrina Carpenter opted for defined dark brown brows that brought classic Old Hollywood glamour - adding depth and drama to her beauty look. The rich brow shade created a striking contrast against her signature blonde hair.
To achieve Sabrina Carpenter-inspired brows, mix 1 part Black tint with 0.5 part Dark Brown tint and leave to develop for 5–10 minutes, depending on the desired intensity.
Zoë Kravitz embraced softly defined cool brown brows that perfectly complemented her dark, romantic outfit and understated beauty look. The soft, ashy tone added subtle structure and balance to her features without overpowering her overall aesthetic, offering a more refined alternative to harsher black brows while maintaining depth and definition.
You can achieve this cool brown shade on your clients by mixing an equal ratio of Apraise Vegan Tint in Dark Brown and Graphite and applying for 5-10 minutes.
Restore Those Brows
Kylie Jenner is the queen of beauty experimentation. At the Met Gala 2026, she embraced the bleached-brow trend, fully committing to the high-fashion, editorial look.
If your clients are looking to transition back from a bleached brow to an everyday shade, like she did shortly after the Met Gala, it’s all about controlled colour correction.
To achieve a deep black brow like Kylie Jenner's, mix 1cm of black tint with 5 drops of Apraise developer (liquid or cream) and apply for 5-10 minutes. When colour correcting, monitor the brows closely to ensure the correct shade is achieved.
With six intermixable shades, you can customise every formula to suit your client’s features, whether you are softening intensity, building warmth, or restoring deep, dark definition after bleaching.
