Vanilla Ice had it - even a younger David Beckham sported the look back in the 1990s. The eyebrow slit was huge among the men of that decade. It made a style statement like facial piercings and grunge. Its history is undetermined, but the eyebrow slit was a favorite among top rappers during those days, according to Popsugar.

Today, the eyebrow slit is getting a revival on Instagram and it's not just the men sporting it. Women have also been spotted with the slit and many of them look incredible, according to Buzzfeed.

A 2015 entry in the Urban Dictionary defines eyebrow slit: "Shaving gaps in your eyebrows to be trendy. It gets clumped in the category of eyebrows on fleek and shaping/drawing them on. It's usually done on one eyebrow but can be done on both, and there could but 2-3 slits on an eyebrow or just one. People also do these to identify with a group if a whole clique does eyebrow slits."

A little digging around showed that just five years ago, college kids didn't think it was hot to have shaved gaps on the eyebrows.

"There [sic] ok if you're in a boy band. If not they are really quite douchey," said one commenter on The Student Room.

"It looks ridiculous. If people I know get them, I will laugh at them," said another commenter on the same forum one year later.

But the look continues to earn more posts from Instagram users.

If you’d like to try this look without having to shave your eyebrows, here's a video tutorial on creating a fake eyebrow slit. This works best for those with thin eyebrows to begin with.
