Your Perfect Brow


Thin and high-arched brows aren’t always the ideal—it depends on your face shape. Here are some tips to help you get the perfect brow shape.







 

Best brows for square and long square faces
A high arch can be overpowering. Instead, moderately thick brows with a subtle arch will look better. The goal is to make the forehead space look wider than it is. This will help to balance out the proportions of a square face.
 
Best brows for round and round square faces
Round-faced beauties have a bit of flexibility when it comes to their brows. A slim medium arch is the ideal shape because it thins out the face, but how skinny you want to go is up to you entirely. Experiment with the thickness of your brow to find your own preference.

Best brows for oval faces
Congrats to you, oval-faced beauty—you can flaunt that coveted high eyebrow shape like a pro. Thinner high arches are “an attention-grabbing power brow” for oval faces because it suits the proportions of the face.

Best brows for long and long heart faces
Long faces look regal and elegant, but brows that are too arched or curvy can make you look perma- surprised. A straight, medium thick brow with a very subtle arch suits a long face by drawing the attention outward instead of up and down.

 Best brows for heart shape faces
The trick to brows for heart shaped faces is to make that narrow chin look soft and rounded out rather than pointy and sharp. A low arched brow creates a natural, feminine look. A high arched round brow adds length to a shorter heart face shape that is possibly needed. They also look more dramatic. A low arched round brow creates a natural, feminine look.



How to get the perfect shaped brows:
  1. To determine where the brow should begin, imagine a straight line from the outside edge of your nose up to the inside corner of your eye. The inner corner of the brow should begin along this line.
  2. To determine where the tail of the brow should end, imagine a straight line from the center of the upper lip, along the outer edge of the nose, up to the outer corner of the eye. The tail of the brow should end at this line.
  3. To determine arch placement, imagine a straight line from the tip of the nose through the middle of the pupil. The eyebrow should arch where that line intersects with the brow.
When shaping your brows always follow the diagram above. This will help prevent you from tweezing your eyebrows too short. As far as the thickness and exact shape of your brow chose depending on your face shape from the info above.


NOTE: The exaggeration of the arch is dependent on the strength of facial features which also dictates the thickness of the eyebrows.  I personally think full eyebrows are always sexy though. There are several great eyebrow shaping kits out there to help you achieve your perfect brow. Here are a few of my faves:
