The Most Flattering Eyebrow Shapes for Women of Every Face Type

What’s the secret to fabulous eyebrows? The answer may surprise you: it’s not about the shape of your eyebrows as much as it is about understanding how to apply them. Each of us has a face shape that works best with certain eyebrow shapes, and certain eyebrow shapes that work best with each face shape, so it’s important to keep in mind what kind of face shape you have when shaping your eyebrows to get the most flattering results. In this article, we’ll go over the different face shapes and what the most flattering eyebrow shapes are for each one!

Some eyebrows tend to get too much attention

From super-thin to bushy and natural, there are so many different eyebrow shapes out there. And while you might think that any shape can look good, that’s not always the case. In fact, certain eyebrow shapes can actually make you look more stylish and cool, while others can make you look more approachable or even more beautiful.
Now that you know what shape is best, it’s time to work on getting your eyebrows in tip-top shape. To do so, pay attention to how you groom them and what products you use. Avoid tweezing or waxing at home because it can irritate your skin or make your brows grow back lighter or unevenly. Instead, see a professional every once in a while to get rid of stray hairs or trim things up. You should also do your best to avoid plucking out hair below where brows start and stay away from waterproof makeup when applying makeup to help keep stray hairs from filling in places they shouldn’t.
Once you have your shape, there are some simple things you can do to make sure your eyebrows look their best. Always keep them well-groomed, and choose a brow color that matches your hair color or skin tone. Make sure that you let them grow in before shaping them into place and don’t overpluck your brows because it can damage their natural appearance and lead to brows growing back unevenly. In terms of makeup, always use waterproof makeup on top of normal products if possible when going out at night or swimming so your eye makeup doesn’t run into those sensitive brows. That’s how to get great eyebrows!

Long Brow Faces

 

A long brow is often considered the most flattering eyebrow shape for women. This is because it helps to balance out the features on your face and can make you look more stylish and cool. If you have a long brow, you can play around with different styles to find what looks best on you. You can also experiment with different colors to find what shade compliments your beauty routine the most.
If you want to keep things simple, a little bit of grooming with an eyebrow brush and tweezers is enough to frame your face and make you look good. You can also pluck away stray hairs on your face, but that should only be done in moderation. As with most things related to beauty, balance is key when it comes to shaping your brows. If you have thin eyebrows, don’t use hair removal products too frequently or pluck too much—this can end up making your brows too thin and unnatural looking. If you have thick eyebrows, playing around with different shapes can help them appear more stylish. A short arch that rounds off at a steep angle will make them look stylish but not overbearing.

Square Brow Faces

A strong, well-defined brow is key to a cool makeup look. For square brow faces, the best eyebrow shapes are ones that are either rounded or have a soft arch. Rounded brows help soften the sharp angles of the face, while a soft arch adds just enough definition to create symmetry.
On square brow faces, you can even soften angled brows with a natural powder or pencil. Look for options that don’t have any shimmer, since it will make your face look more harsh. If you use pencil to fill in your eyebrows, make sure it matches your hair color. And remember, over-plucking will only exacerbate sharp angles! Instead, grow out short brow hairs by plucking them at an angle rather than straight across. This will help add definition and soften up your look at the same time.
A soft arch will open up your eyes, which is important to counterbalance all that angularity. Try using a gel or pomade to groom your brows in place so you can keep your look going as long as possible. For a more natural approach, try penciling them in and then brushing through with a spoolie or clean mascara wand to soften them up and add shine.

Round Brow Faces

A round brow face is defined by having full cheeks, a rounded chin, and a wide forehead. The most flattering eyebrow shapes for this face type are ones that add definition and help to create the illusion of an oval face shape. The best brow shapes for round faces include: the classic arch, the straight brow, and the high arch. Avoid: super thin or over-plucked brows, as they will only accentuate the roundness of your face.
A thin brow will make your face appear wider, while a rounded brow can create a rounder appearance. Straight and high arches should be avoided with a round face, as they only make your face appear wider. A classic arch is an excellent choice for bringing out facial features and balancing out full cheeks, but you may also want to consider wearing more eye makeup than you usually would. This will help to draw attention to your eyes, helping them stand out from your large cheeks. Likewise, if you want less focus on your cheeks without giving up your eyebrows entirely, choose an angled or high arch shape that extends beyond your natural eyebrow line.

Diamond Brow Faces

A diamond face shape is characterized by a widow’s peak, a small forehead, and a chin that tapers to a point. The most flattering eyebrow shapes for this face type are ones that help balance the proportions. Think: soft and curved brows that are fuller at the arch and taper to a point.
Oblong faces are similar to diamond face shapes, with a tapered chin and wide forehead. To balance out oblong face shapes, focus on keeping your eyebrows thick and filling in any sparse areas. This will help fill out your brow line while making your forehead appear smaller. Be careful with thinner brows, however; they can make a round face look even rounder or add width to a narrow chin.
Diamond face shapes, oblong faces, and square faces all tend to feature prominent chins. This can be a great thing if you have a strong chin that you want to accentuate. If your chin is on the smaller side, however, keep it in mind when selecting your ideal eyebrow shape. You don’t want one that draws attention to it! Instead, find one that features a soft arch and full tails. This will draw attention away from your strong chin and toward your eyes.
