How to find the perfect eyebrow shape

Beautifully curved eyebrows give a unique charm to a woman’s face. Unfortunately, not everyone can boast of naturally perfect eyebrows. Fortunately, their shape can be easily corrected. And for this it is not necessary to seek help from beauty salons.

How to determine your face shape?

There are a very large number of variations in eyebrow shapes, but there are only five main ones:

1. Round – this shape visually softens the facial expression, helps to “hide” pronounced features;
2. Curved – a rather spectacular form. It gives the face a sense of confidence;
3. Straight – visually makes the face more oval and short;
4. Broken eyebrows – give their owner more decisiveness. Also, a sharp break slightly rejuvenates the face;
5. Eyebrows with a soft break – give the face more femininity.

In order to correctly determine which eyebrow shape is best for you, you need to establish exactly what shape your face is. To do this, you need to conduct a small test:

• Measure your face with a ruler from hair roots to chin;
• Divide the resulting number by 3;
• Measure from the bottom of your chin to the base of your nose.

Answers:

• If the number that you received in the second paragraph is greater than the one that turned out in the third, then the shape of your face is most likely square and long;
• If the number that you received in the second paragraph is less than the one that turned out in the third, then the shape of your face is round or diamond-shaped;
• If these two numbers are approximately the same, your face is oval or heart-shaped.

We select the shape of the eyebrows according to the type of face

You have already determined the type of your face, then we will give you some recommendations for choosing the shape of your eyebrows:

• For a round face – Broken brows with short tips and a high rise are best. This shape will visually lengthen your face and make it look slimmer. But do not make the kink very sharp, otherwise the eyebrows will disadvantageously emphasize the roundness of the face. You do not need to make a round shape of the eyebrows, it will further emphasize the roundness of the face.
• For an oblong face type horizontal and straight brows work best. This will make your face appear more rounded. For this type of face, eyebrows with a break are not suitable, they will strongly emphasize its length.
• For a square type of face – Highly arched or kinked eyebrows are best. They visually smooth out the massiveness of the jaw. For this type of face, thin rounded eyebrows are completely unsuitable.
• For a heart-shaped face – the ideal option would be rounded eyebrows, which will distract attention from a sharp chin. Horizontal straight eyebrows, which will upset the general balance of facial features, are completely unsuitable for this type of face.
• For a diamond-shaped face – Curved eyebrows with a peak or eyebrows with a break are best suited. This shape will visually make your cheekbones and temples look narrower. Straight eyebrows do not suit such a face at all, they will visually make it even wider.
• For oval face type – any shape of eyebrows will do. Just don’t do a very high lift at the eyebrow, it will give you an angry or surprised look.
