How to choose the best eyebrow shape for your face

2. Your eyebrow arch should follow the arch of each eye.
3. Your eyebrows should be slightly higher than your eyes ends.

There are many different face shapes such as square, round, heart, oval, heart, and oblong. Some eyebrow shapes are better suited for certain faces, just as certain styles of bangs work well with certain shapes. Below, discover which eyebrow shapes flatter which faces shapes.

 Round Faces

Face shape: Round faces have wide cheekbones. This face shape has a more round profile and a soft jawline.

Brow shape: A round face can be defined by a sharp, angled eyebrow. If you have a larger face, make sure to get thick eyebrows. They will complement your inward forehead and outer cheekbones. You can opt for smaller eyebrows if you have a smaller head.

Oval-Shaped Face

Face shape: Oval faces have a longer face and are wider at the cheekbones. Oval faces are more egg-shaped than round faces because they aren’t as wide.

Brow Shape: An oval face can look good with any type of eyebrow shape. Oval faces are more balanced and symmetrical, so they work well with all eyebrow shapes.

Heart-Shaped Faces

Face shape: The forehead is wider than the jaw and the jaw is narrower.

Brow shape: A soft arched and thick brow looks great on heart-shaped faces. A wider forehead works well with the full thickness. The soft arch runs seamlessly from the forehead to your eyeline without appearing too dramatic.

Square Faces

Face shape: The width between the top of the forehead (the start of your jaw) is nearly the same. Although the chin may appear thinner, it is still larger and more angular in regular face shapes.

Brow Shape: A curved arched set that is a little higher suits square faces. The brows add a longer, more elongated look to the face. The softening effect of the brows is due to their curving arches. You should not set your eyebrows too low, as this can cause your eyes to look droopy.

 Diamond Faces

Face Shape: This face shape is similar to a diamond. It’s narrow at the top, and narrow at its bottom. Diamond faces are slightly wider at the forehead, cheeks and chin than those of diamonds.

Brow shape: Curved eyebrows make your forehead appear wider to balance your large cheekbones. To smoothen your face, pair them with angled arches.

Long/Oblong Faces

Face shape: An oblong face looks longer and more narrow.

Brow shape: To make an oblong face appear wider, either straight or soft arches are best. Straight brows should have a slight curve and soft ends. A soft brow will soften the appearance of any rough outlines on your face. Your forehead will appear wider if you have thicker eyebrows. This gives your face a more heart-shaped shape.
