As of update 7.1, there is still an issue where every eyebrow option of Face 2 female Miqo'te has become narrower, and the color is too dark.

The eyebrows had all become much more angular and slanted ever since the first benchmark for Dawntrail.
On top of that, somewhere between the first and second benchmarks, something had also caused the eyebrows to "pinch," and every eyebrow option of this face was made thin and condensed, especially around the inner half.

The color is also too dark, and no longer matches many hairstyles' colors. This is more noticeable on pale skin, and medium or dark-toned hair color.

Examples using Eyebrow 2:

Comparison between versions (Endwalker, DT Benchmark 1, 7.1). Taken facing direct sunlight in Character Creator La Noscea setting.


Eyebrow shape of Face 2 Female Miqo'te has changed dramatically with previous updates. Since the 2nd Dawntrail Benchmark through current 7.1, they appear thinner, or condensed.


Eyebrows are too dark on many hair colors and hairstyles.
