How Do I Choose My Eyebrow Shape?
Brow mapping is a simple, expert-backed technique to find your best brow shape. It helps you figure out where your brows should start, arch, and end. Here’s how to map your brows at home in 3 simple steps.
Step 1: Start point (inner brow)
Hold a brow pencil vertically along the side of your nose. Where it meets your brow is where your brow should begin.
Step 2: Arch placement
Angle the pencil from the edge of your nose through the center of your eye. That’s where your natural arch should peak, giving your face a gentle lift.
Step 3: End point (tail)
Tilt the pencil from the edge of your nose to the outer corner of your eye. Where it crosses your brow is where the tail should end.
How to Shape Your Eyebrows for Your Face Shape
Your brows can change how your whole face looks. Here’s how to shape your brows based on your face type.
Best Brow Shape for Round Faces: Go For a Soft High Arch
Face Shape: Facial width and length are about the same.
Brow Goal: Add length and lift to balance your features.
Brow Style:
If you want to elongate your face, go for a soft high arch that lifts your eye area. Brush your brows upward, fill in the arch slightly darker, and add a bit of highlighter under your brow bone to make the lift more noticeable.
Best Brow Shape for Square Faces: Go for a Soft Curve
Face Shape: Strong, defined jawline and broad forehead.
Brow Goal: Soften angles and create balance.
Brow Style:
Choose brows with a gentle curve or low arch to smooth strong facial lines. Rounded edges bring softness and keep the face looking balanced.
Best Brow Shape for Oval Faces: Go for a Natural Arch
Face Shape: Slightly longer than it is wide with balanced proportions.
Brow Goal: Maintain symmetry and highlight natural balance.
Brow Style:
Oval faces can wear almost any brow shape. Follow your natural brow line with a soft, medium arch. This shape complements your bone structure and keeps your look fresh and natural.
Best Brow Shape for Heart-Shaped Faces: Go for a Soft Round Brow
Face Shape: Wider forehead with a narrower chin.
Brow Goal: Soften the upper face and balance the chin.
Brow Style:
Rounded brows with a subtle arch help create harmony between your forehead and jawline. A smooth curve draws attention to your eyes while maintaining a soft overall shape.
Best Brow Shape for Long Faces: Go for a Straight Brow
Face Shape: Longer than it is wide with softer angles.
Brow Goal: Create width and balance the length.
Brow Style:
Keep your brows straight with a gentle downward tail. This shape adds width and keeps your face looking proportionate.
Best Brow Shape for Diamond Faces: Go for a Softly Curved Brow
Face Shape: Wide cheekbones with a narrower forehead and chin.
Brow Goal: Soften the angles and add symmetry.
Brow Style:
Choose a curved brow with a gentle arch. This shape smooths sharp features and balances your cheekbones. Fuller brows work especially well on this face shape.
