Finding your ideal eyebrow shape is one of the easiest ways to express your personal style and maximize your natural beauty, even without a hint of makeup. But because the brows that look best vary from person to person, it’s important to do your research and determine what your correct fit is. To help you do it, we’ve put together this handy eyebrow shape guide, with quick tips to set you on the path to your perfect brows. 

 

How Eyebrows Make a Difference

Eyebrows are an incredibly powerful feature. 

Done well, they can highlight your facial structure, add definition, and draw the focus away from imperfections. However, the opposite is true, too. Eyebrows that are the wrong shape for your face can make your facial structure appear unbalanced. They can also change your general appearance – for example, making your eyes seem smaller, or making you seem sad, surprised, or tired. 

It’s no wonder, then, that finding your proper eyebrow shape is so essential. And fortunately, once you find a shape that works for you, all you have to do is maintain it for effortless everyday beauty. 

 

What’s Trending in Eyebrows

Search “best eyebrow shape for my face,” and you’re bound to find plenty of information on current trends. 

So what’s trending now? Full, natural brows, with tons of dimension for a big impact. You’ll see lots of eyebrow tints and lamination happening, too, but it’s all about working with your natural arch and fluffing up the brow in a way that appears as natural as possible on the face. 

Keep these trends in mind when searching for your ideal shape, but don’t get distracted by what’s trending if it means going against what looks right on your face. 

 

How to Find Your Proper Eyebrow Shape

The right eyebrow shape varies from person to person. Follow these tips to find the brow shape that perfectly enhances your own standout features. 

 

  • Identify your face shape – You want your eyebrow shape to be opposite to the shape of your face. A long face benefits from low-lying arches, while a round face benefits from a high arch. 
  • Do a brow map – Mapping your brows tells you where they should start and end. You can find guides to brow mapping online, or you can have a pro do it for you. There are also apps that provide some additional insight.
  • Soften brows to contrast sharp features – Sharp features benefit from soft brows. If you have stark, angular lines on your jaw or cheekbones, aim for a softer arch to lessen any inherent harshness. 
  • Put down the tweezers - Less is more when it comes to tweezing. Resist the urge to tweeze every errant hair and work with your natural fullness instead.
