The most suitable eyebrow shapes for the face
Eyebrows are an important feature of the face because they give it its shape and frame the facial features of the eyes, nose, cheeks, mouth, and chin. Eyebrows are one of the few facial features that can be shaped to enhance the beauty of the face.
To achieve the most flattering effect, it is important to take into account both the shape of the face and the type of eyes. The perfect shape of the eyebrows is closely related to the actual shape of the face. The basic shape of the eyebrows is also determined by the bone structure of the face. Below are descriptions and illustrations of brow shapes that are most appropriate for different shaped faces.
Oval: a perfectly balanced face shape
Round – Well rounded full cheek and chin area; the length of the face is relatively short
Oblong: longer than wide; the face is the same width across the forehead, jawline, and cheekbone
Square – the width of the cheeks and forehead are similar; the width of the jawline and forehead are also similar
Heart: Fuller and wider at the forehead tapering to the cheeks and then to a pointed chin.
Diamond – Widest at the cheekbones and equally narrow across the forehead and jawline.
Discover the shape of the face
OVAL face shape
The oval frame is considered the perfectly balanced face; the upper half balances the lower half. The oval face is characterized by being slightly wider at the cheekbones than at the forehead or jawline. It also appears slightly wider at the cheek line and tapers slightly towards the chin.
Perfect eyebrow shape for an oval face
Oval face shapes can get away with just about any brow shape. Oval is the ideal face shape and any natural brow shape works well with an oval face. Oval is the perfect model frame.
ROUND Face Shape
The round frame has a large, curved forehead with a rounded chin, making the face look full with very few angles. The cheekbones are undoubtedly wider than the brow bone and jawline. When measuring a round face there is little difference between the width of the face and the vertical measurement. The face is almost as wide as it is long.
Target Proportion – Creates more definition. Enhance your round frame by creating an oval look that will highlight facial features and elongate the shape of the face to give an image of a slimmer appearance.
Perfect eyebrow shape for a round face
Apply a brow line going up the face by arching the brow up and keeping the part that tapers small. The center of the arch should come out towards the end of the eyebrow while the end should be short. An arched brow shape will draw attention away from the width of the face.
oblong face shape
The oblong frame is longer than it is wide and is nearly the same width across the forehead, jawline, and cheekbone. The oblong shape may have a very narrow chin or a very high forehead. Having a prominent chin also characterizes a long appearance.
Objective proportion: make the elongated face appear shorter and wider.
Perfect eyebrow shape for a long face
To make a long face look oval, horizontal lines should be applied to the face. Apply a brow line that is flat and keeps the arch low; this prevents the eye from moving up the face. A flat eyebrow opens the eyes horizontally to give the appearance of an oval face. This brow shape will draw the eye from side to side and keep it from going up and down.
SQUARE face shape
The square frame has a wide forehead and jaw line and tends to have sharper angles at the corners of the face. The width of your cheeks and forehead will be similar. The width of the jawline and forehead can also be similar, thus giving an overall angular appearance with the rectangular face being longer than it is wide.
Objective Proportion: Creates an illusion of length. It softens the angles giving the illusion that both the forehead and jaw lines appear narrower.
Perfect eyebrow shape for a square face
A thick eyebrow is more suitable for a square framed face with a strong jawline. The brow pick is most effective when placed exactly above the square of the jaw. This brow shape will balance the square look of the face and soften facial contours.
HEART face shape
The heart frame is fullest and widest at the forehead and tapers to the cheeks, then to a narrow, pointed chin. The jawline in this facial shape is usually not prominent. This facial frame has a narrow chin leading to a wide forehead and the cheekbones are highly visible.
Objective Proportion – Create the illusion of a narrower forehead and fuller jawline. Decrease the width at the forehead and create a fuller, wider jawline effect on the face.
Perfect eyebrow shape for a heart face
Rounding out the brows with softer peaks is more suitable for a heart-shaped face. A rounded shape helps by adding curves to soften the face and further emphasizes the beautiful heart shape.
DIAMOND face shape
The diamond setting is a cross between a heart and a spectacular oval face. It is widest at the cheekbones and narrowest at the forehead and jawline. The face is very angular with a short forehead and wider at the temples. The cheekbone is clearly wider than the forehead and jaw line.
Objective Proportion: Create an illusion to reduce width around the cheekbone line.
Perfect eyebrow shape for a diamond face
There are two suitable ways; rounding the brows will soften the angular face or keep the emphasis on the central arch of the brow to balance the width of the face or a peaked brow will help reduce the width of the distinctive wide diamond face.
