How to Match Eyebrow Shape to Face Shape

Eyebrow shape regulates facial lines: round faces need angles, rectangular faces need soft arches. Wrong shape deprives the face of balance and proportion.

Oval face is universal — every shape suits. Round face needs angled brow, long face needs horizontal brow, square face needs arched brow. The formula is simple: soften sharp facial lines, sharpen soft lines.

When choosing brow shape, also consider nose width and distance between eyes. The start of the brow should be on the line connecting the nose wing with the eye corner. The highest point is along a vertical line from the pupil center, the end point is on the diagonal line connecting the nose wing with the eye corner.

When shaping brows, follow the hair direction and always start from the top, not bottom. To maintain symmetry, do the same movements on both brows sequentially. If the natural brow shape does not match the face shape, you can create a shape illusion with brow dye and gel.
