Welcome to Eyebrow Science 101 where you will learn how to achieve perfect eyebrows as you dive into a deeper understanding of brow anatomy.
Any beauty expert knows that your brows can do more for your face than almost any makeup product. With the correct brow shape and fill, you can change the perceived size of your eyes, contour your face and show off your best features. However, before any of that we need to get back to the basics – the Anatomy of An Eyebrow. Check out the chart below to get an A+ in Perfect Eyebrows!
Now that we’ve learned the fundamentals, we can move onto the five basic brow shapes!
While everyone’s face/ brow(s) shape is different, there are 5 basic brow shapes that we can identify, which can then have a bunch of variations to them. Each of the five shapes has the power to change the appearance of your other facial features, so it’s important to pick the right shape for the results you want. Keep reading to find out which shape provides the results you need!
Flat Brows:
These brows are perfect for anyone with a long face shape because the horizontal line creates the illusion of a shorter face that is also more oval-looking.
Round Brows:
The round shape is a must if you’re trying to create a softness to your face. It literally adds roundness to the face and helps to minimize sharp features, like a pointed chin or nose.
Curved Brows:
Believe it or not, curved brows are completely different from round ones! They’re the perfect shape for anyone who doesn’t want too much softness to their features and the shape works extremely well on square faces.
Angled Brows:
The high arch of an angled brow has the ability to create a more youthful appearance to the face and can make a round or diamond face shape appear slimmer (if that’s what you’re looking for).
Soft Angled Brows:
This is much like the above except it has a shorter arch and softer peak. The soft angle is key for a more feminine look and is a must-do for an oval face, in place of the regular angled brow which could make the face look perpetually surprised or angry.
There you have it – the anatomy of an eyebrow and the five basic brow shapes. Knowing this information can change your brow game completely and help you achieve perfect eyebrows in no time. We hope you enjoyed learning more about your eyebrows and can’t wait to teach you more!
