Beyoncé: I Am… Sasha Fierce - Kicking off our list is the undisputed queen of perfect brows: Beyoncé. While the latest trend of filling in eyebrows lends to an overdone and borderline painted on look, Bey keeps it natural, using only what she’s got. On the standard cover for her third LP, I Am...Sasha Fierce, Bey lets her dark Creole arches shine and we love it!(Photo: Columbia Records)

Monica: Still Standing - There’s no denying that Monica is beautiful beyond words, so the fact that her eyebrows are, as they say today, “on fleek” makes her that much more of a stunner. To show just how gorgeous she is, on her 2010 album Still Standing, Mo only needed to give us a peek at one for us to be eternally hooked.(Photo: J Records)

The Element of Freedom - In a turn of events, Alicia Keys switched up her vocal and musical stylings for the 2009 album, The Element of Freedom. The album peaked at No. 2 with the Beyoncé-assisted "Put It in a Love Song" and Drake-written "Un-Thinkable."  (Photo: J Records)

Alicia Keys: The Element of Freedom - Much like Beyoncé, Alicia Keys opted for a natural arch on the cover of her 2009 album The Element of Freedom. With the onslaught of graphics, feathers and fonts on the cover, we say it was a wise decision for the “Un-thinkable” singer to go simple.(Photo: J Records)

Brandy: Human - B. Rocka is arguably one of the most recognizable faces of the “eyebrows on fleek” revolution — yes, it's that serious. Particularly seen on the cover of her fifth studio album, Human, Brandy displays the perfect balance between “done” and natural brows. With flawless brows and an impressive voice to match, we're convinced that Brandy’s perfection knows no bounds.(Photo: Epic Records)

Cassie: Cassie - Cassie may have only released one album throughout her entire career, but that’s all it took to get the world to notice her undeniable beauty.

2010: Basic Instinct - An album primarily written by Ciara, Basic Instinct is truly a gem. With the memorable song (and video) "Ride," Ciara left everyone wanting more.  (Photo: LaFace Records)

Ciara: Basic Instinct - Though Ciara's 2010 release Basic Instinct proved to be the most poorly received album of her career, there’s no denying that the cover was inherently flawless. Donning a simple side-swoop over her left eye, CiCi gave a look proving that she meant business, and by the look of that perfectly “fleek” right brow, we’d have to believe her.(Photo: LaFace Records)

Destiny's Child: Destiny Fulfilled - Baring it all for their fresh-faced final album as a collective, our favorite girl group understands the art of making a statement with nothing but your eyebrows on.

Michael Jackson: The Essential Michael Jackson - When you think King of Pop, you probably think of his record breaking Thriller album, The Jackson 5 and his life long legacy in the music industry. However, don’t sleep on Michael and his ability to kill in the looks department. Not only was his hair always laid, but Michael’s eyebrows were on “Neverland fleek.” He probably had a mean eyebrow threading, or waxing, or Jesus himself to always keep him looking Bad.(Photo: Epic Records)
