Haley Kalil is never one to shy away from a comedic take. Last month, the SI Swimsuit model recreated Doja Cat’s gem-encrusted Schiaparelli fashion show look for her Instagram followers. Recently, she tried convincing her loyal following that she shaved off a single eyebrow.

In the initial March 17 post, Kalil filmed herself discussing the idea of shaving off the tail ends of her eyebrows, a trend that gives the face a “lifted” look. As she held the razor to her brow, the sound of a dog barking in the background startled Kalil and caused her to shave off her entire eyebrow—or did it?

For the next few days, the 30-year-old model shared she was trying avoid having a mental breakdown due to the missing brow while also attempting to convince her fans her eyebrow really was gone by scrubbing at the area with a makeup wipe on camera. She concluded the series with a video that showcased the ordeal was all just a dream.

Kalil broke down her “eyebrow-gate” trick in a two-part IG tutorial. In the first, she shared step-by-step how she used Adobe After Effects to achieve the illusion with the help of director Max Goodrich.

“SOMONE GIVE HER AN OSCAR,” a fan pleaded in the comments section.

In part two, she continued divulging the process of how she went frame-by-frame in the editing program to make sure everything looked as realistic as possible—including placing tiny little hairs to mimic hair growth.

“It’s the dedication for meee 👏,” one person wrote.

“hailey i feel betrayed 💔,” another follower added.
