From dream-catchers to feather earrings, feathers will be everywhere at Coachella—and that makes sense, given the desert fest's ethereal vibe. But, guys: this latest iteration of the trend takes it a step too far. Get ready for this.

A viral trend referred to as "Feather Brows" has well-meaning beauty buffs shaping their eyebrows into—you guessed it—feathers. Take a peek at the...interesting look:

If you want to try this trend, go ahead. It could be kind of fun! But, be sure you have a rock-solid glue remover first. (Do they sell that in the desert?)
