Slay Your Brows To Find Out What Brow Shape Best Suits Your Face

Written by Shivani K  • 

Have you ever stood in front of the mirror in your room wondering what is it that can give your look a glamorous twist? The cheek areas can somehow still be managed and contoured to look just right. Maybe it’s the eyes and the area around them that can make or break your look. Now that we’ve mentioned eyes, let’s talk about something that sits unnoticed above it — eyebrows. Have you ever given them enough attention? Have you ever thought that it’s their shape that gives your face its unique look?

The perfect looking eyebrows can flatter your face in the most charming way. But the question is how we can shape them right. Just as all haircuts don’t go well with every face type, the same applies to the brows as well.

You definitely can’t have a one-shape-fits-all approach to eyebrows! The dimensions of your face come in play while shaping brows. The perfectly shaped eyebrows will not only help accentuate your eyes, but they will also make you feel comfortable and confident even if you don’t have any makeup on.

We’ve compiled a quick guide for you all to understand how to shape your eyebrows the right way, in keeping with your face type. Read it now and thank us later (wink wink).

For Square-Shaped Faces

Beauties with square-shaped faces have a squarish jaw. In square-shaped faces, the width of both the hairline and the jawline is approximately the same, therefore the face appears to be like a square. Such people have strong features. Therefore, it’s advised that when you’re getting your brows done, try to give it a round shape or a low and soft arch. And let them be of medium thickness. This is because thick brows can tone down the strong features of a square-shaped face.

For Heart-Shaped Faces

One unique feature about people whose face is heart-shaped is that they have a pointed chin. If you happen to belong to this category and your pointed chin is something that really bothers you, then we suggest you go for rounded brows. Rounded brows will give you a very natural look. We must say this, that almost every makeup artist looks forward to working on someone with this face-type, owing to the perfect dimensions of the face. And if you’re someone with a small, heart-shaped face, then ask your brow artist to give your brows a sharp edge towards the ends, this will add dimension to your face.

For Round-Shaped Faces

There are two things that people with this face type should never try: one, flat eyebrows and two, rounded brows. The problem with round faces is that they lack definition in their face. What we are trying to say here is that the width and length of a round shaped face are almost the same, without any definite edges or curves. Therefore, people with a round face should shape their brows in sharp angles as this will help in defining the structure of their face. Haven’t you seen former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan? Her perfectly angular brows are the reason for her attractive visage.

For Oval-Shaped Faces

When it comes to brows, most of the makeup artists say that it’s the oval faces that are blessed! This face shape resembles an upside-down egg, doesn’t it? Apparently, the length of such a face is nearly 1.5 times more than its width. Dramatic eyebrows are not at all required for such faces. People with such a face shape should get their brows done in a classic and balanced way. Brows which have soft-angles are the best for them. If you need some inspiration, the Umbrella girl Rihanna also sports such eyebrows.

For Diamond-Shaped Faces

Faces of this type have cheekbones that are wider and stronger. This is because their hairline is much narrower. If you have such a face, you need to pick a brow shape that will make your wide cheeks appear a bit toned. For that, opt for a brow style that makes your brows look rounded and slightly curved. It will make your face look more balanced.

Tips For Grooming

  • Don’t overdo your eyebrows. Get it done once in a month or twice, depending on your brow growth. Getting your eyebrows done every week will harm your skin.
  • If you are someone who uses tweezers to pluck out the extra hair from your brows, then use a slanted tweezer as it provides good precision and grip.
  • Use an eyebrow brush to brush your eyebrows before you get out of your house. This is to make your brows look well-groomed and unlike a feathery delight.
  • After getting your eyebrows done, make it a point to apply a cooling gel such as aloe vera gel to soothe the area.

Doing your brows the right way will definitely accentuate your overall look. Make a note of the above tips we’ve put forth and slay your brow game ladies. If there is anything that you would like to add to this, then please share them in the comments below.
