[[File:oddlyvisibleeyebrows.jpg|link=Vision of Escaflowne|frame|Hair is transparent in the world of Gaea, apparently.]]
The eyebrows are drawn that way, of course, to make it easier to convey nuances of facial expression.
Not to be confused with [[Unusual Eyebrows]], which are oddly visible for other reasons.

▲=== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ===
* The title character of ''[[Inuyasha]]''. Especially jarring since they appear to be ''a different color''.
** Applies to many characters, particularly because nearly all eyebrows seem to be black—and hair, especially on demons, is not.
Line 14 ⟶ 16:
* Raimon "Monta" Taro of ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'' takes it to nearly Captain Crunch-like levels. It's not that his hair is transparent, it's that his eyebrows simply go OVER his hair.
* Arashi from ''[[Gad Guard|Gad Guard's]]'' eyebrows are visble from her hair
* ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]''
* ''[[MM!]]''
* ''[[KimiKiss]]''
Line 22 ⟶ 24:
* [[Den Yuu Den|The Legend of Legendary Heroes]]
* Everyone in ''[[Tenshi ni Narumon]]''.
* Not only does ''[[K-On!
* ''[[The Idolmaster (anime)|THE iDOLM@STER]]''
=== [[Video Games]] ===
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]: The Wind Waker'' sets Link's eyes to be visible in front of his hair.
* Ken of ''[[Street Fighter]]'' is generally drawn with his black eyebrows visible in front of his blond hair.
Line 34 ⟶ 36:
=== [[Web Comics]] ===
* In ''[http://churchof.poisonedminds.com/ The Church of Poisoned Minds]'', the author-avatar has hair that always covers his eyes - but this doesn't stop his eyebrows from showing up whenever they're [http://churchof.poisonedminds.com/d/20070411.html needed to convey an expression].
* A strip in the webcomic ''[[Strange Candy]]'' parodied this. They were stuck in a [[Shojo]] manga, and one of the guys was trying to make his eyebrows show through his bangs, like a [[Bishonen]].
Line 42 ⟶ 44:
* In ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'', this was originally averted but the trope was gradually brought in as part of the [[Art Evolution]].
* Nadine in ''[[Demolition Squad]]''
* Most characters in ''[[Ears for Elves]]'' with a fringe have these, though the brows are just a single line, but it's particularly noticeable on Myari. In order for her hair in its high tails to cover the same amount of face as it does on other characters, she has almost no forehead. However, her eyebrows [https://web.archive.org/web/20120531073821/http://www.earsforelves.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Myaricolor.jpg can still be seen] the right distance above her eyes—in the middle of her scalp.
=== [[Western Animation]] ===
* [[Hanna-Barbera]]'s [[Yogi Bear]] also had eyebrows that could be seen jutting up across the brim of his hat, and indeed, even his eyeballs followed suit, overlapping where a normal hat would clearly have covered part of them up.
=== [[Real Life]] ===
* Given, this
=== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ===▼
▲== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Umi Rengaya from the ''[[Excel Saga (manga)|Excel Saga]]'' manga has hair which shows not only her eyebrows, but also her eyes, chin, and sometimes ears, to highlight both how transparent her attempts to flirt with Shiouji are, and how invisible she is to him.
* Count D in ''[[Pet Shop of Horrors]]'' has bangs that sometimes fall over his face, without affecting his eyes or brows in any way.
Line 58 ⟶ 59:
* ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]''
* In ''[[Saint Beast]]'', loads of characters have [[Peek-a-Bangs]], leading to both eyebrows and eyes showing through their hair.
* Happens quite a bit in the anime ''[[Saga of Tanya the Evil]]'' with the main character.
=== [[Web Comics]] ===
* Ebbirnoth from ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' has (weirdly, two) eyebrows which seem to float independently of his single, giant eyeball. They remain external even when his 'head' is armoured, and remain even when his eye [[Eye Scream|has been blown off]] and is regenerating in a giant fishbowl...
** Just some WMG to liven your day, but it's possible that the eyebrows are some kind of prosthesis to facilitate Unioc-Human communications. Nonverbals must be a pain in Tagon's Toughs.
* The webcomic ''[[Misfile]]'', especially noticeable in the [https://web.archive.org/web/20071029162500/http://www.misfile.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=8 main character] who has huge bangs that frequently cover large sections of her face.
=== [[Western Animation]] ===
* [[Star vs. the Forces of Evil]] Star's bangs often transparently cover her eyebrows and parts of her eyes.
