　　Fur makes a fashionable fall accessory. But this season the trendiest fluff is not the trim on coats or handbags. Autumn’s most prized pelt is the hairy eyebrows.

　　“For women who over pluck, this season will be about growing your eyebrows back so that they have a natural arch that extends out and ends in a beautiful point,” said Pat McGrath, a makeup artist for Max Factor and CoverGirl and the creative director for Procter & Gamble Beauty.

　　Ms. McGrath is one of the trend-setting stylists responsible for unleashing the feral eyebrow as this season’s beauty signature. At the Prada fall fashion show in Milan in February, she combed models’ eyebrows up with clear mascara, lending their faces a wild expression which Ms. McGrath described as “sauvage.”

　　“On both coasts, everybody wants a thicker brow that reminds you of Elizabeth Taylor and Ava Gardner,” said Robyn Cosio, an eyebrow stylist who works at the salon by Maxime Beverly Hills and Eiji salon in Manhattan. “People love that I leave the two bottom layers of undergrowth and don’t take out so much in between the brows so that they can stick up and look feathered.”

　　Facial hair hasn’t been this much in demand since the advent in 1978of Brooke Shields.

　　“With a stronger, more graphic quality to the clothes like the fall collection from Balenciaga, you want strong eyebrows that make you look intelligent and empowered, and you want to keep the rest of clean,” said James Kaliardos, a makeup artist in New York and Paris.

　　To achieve the furry but tamed Hemingway eyebrow, Ms. McGrath suggested an appointment with a professional eyebrow groomer. For those who want to create fuller brows at home, she suggested away to ensure that they look evenly shaped.

　　Start by drawing over the straggly hairs you want to remove with a white eyeliner pencil before tweezing them. To create fullness, use a brow pencil or brow powder that is two shades lighter than your eyebrow color to fill in between the hairs. The brow should look blended rather than drawn on, she said. Finally, use clear mascara or eyebrow gel to fluff hairs, she said.

　　Some salons offer eyebrow extensions. At LuxLash on Newbury Street in Boston, Suzanne Cats, the owner, thickens brows by gluing a tiny fiber onto each existing hair. The process, which costs $75 to $250, can take 45 minutes to two hours and the false eyebrow effect lasts two weeks, she said. She also offers brow prosthetics – hairpieces for the eyebrows – in 20 different shapes and shades.

　　But Ms. Cosio, an author of a book on the history of brows called “The Eyebrow,” said that a furry fringe does not fit everyone. “If you have wild, thick, dense hair, a thicker brow can make you heavy, harsh and mad,” Ms. Cosio said.
