Choosing the Eyebrow Shape for You

Eyebrows are one of the most undervalued parts of the body, as they are an essential part of conveying emotion, and providing individuality. It can be difficult to know which shape to go for to suit your appearance; whether you’re blessed with thick and bushy, or small and neat eyebrows to style, you can make sure they’re perfectly tailored to your face. We’ve broken it down into five categories of face shape, detailing the best way to complement this with a well groomed pair of brows. We’ve also included some instructions on how you can live up to your full brow potential.

  

Long

 

The long face shape just radiates elegance. When shaping the brows to suit this shape, the goal is to avoid making it look longer than it is. This can be achieved with thick, flat, horizontal brows. These break up the face and prevent the eye from wandering up and down.

 

 

 

Square


A squarer jaw is a striking feature, reminiscent of classic Hollywood beauty. The thing to keep in mind however, is that because of its strength it can sometimes draw focus. Either balance this with a thick strong brow, or soften it with gentle curves.

 

 

Oval/Round

 

This face shape is made up soft lines and as such can often look very sensual. Because of this it was often idealised in classical paintings. The ideal eyebrow shape is a soft angled arch, to contrast and complement the curves.

 

 

Heart

 

This face shape is often seen as being the cutest, but beauties such as Grace Kelly have proved that this can also be as striking as any other shape. A thick shallow curve of a brow contrasts the angles of the jaw and softens the effect.

 

 

Diamond

The diamond face shape can often give its owner an exotic air and has been gifted to some of the most striking beauties in history. Because with this shape, the brow is on the widest part of the face, this can be broken up with soft curves up and down, which also softens the angles.
