Choosing the right eyebrow shape for your face is often a challenging feat. From high arches and long tails to bushy brows and soft shading, it seems as though achieving your perfect brow requires you to perform a complex formula.
The truth is, like hairstyles, certain brows better complement certain facial features. And once you learn what yours are, there’s light at the end of the tunnel. So, continue reading for tips on how to find the best brow shape to flatter your face.
Determine Your Face Shape
The first step to achieving beautiful brows is to determine your face shape, so be sure to spend some time getting familiar with your reflection and your features.
The most common face shapes and their features include:
- Heart: Wide forehead, pointed chin
- Square: Less defined chin, wide jawline, equal in length and width
- Oblong: Narrow width, pointed chin
- Round: Round chin, wide cheekbones
- Oval: Narrow width, round chin and jawline
- Diamond: Narrow width, high cheekbones, pointed chin
Map Your Perfect Brows
Once you’ve identified your face shape, it’s time to start outlining your most flattering brow. Doing so ensures minimal mishaps, granting you the confidence to shape your eyebrows from home.
If you’re unfamiliar with “mapping,” follow these steps:
1. Find your brow’s starting point.
- In order to find your brow’s ideal starting point, place your finger or brow pencil vertically from your nostril to the inner corner of your eye.
2. Find your brow’s arch.
- For this step, lay your brow pencil diagonally from the side of your nose to the outside of the iris of your eye. This midpoint is where your arch should be.
3. Find your brow’s end point.
- Finally, tilt your brow pencil at a deeper angle by tilting it from the side of your nose to the outer edge of your eye, closest to your ear. This marks the end of your brow’s tail.
Identifying the three main parts of your eyebrow creates a general outline of the right brow for your face shape. If you find that your brows don’t look identical, don’t fret - perfectly even brows are extremely rare. Instead, embrace their differences to create the most natural look.
