How to Match Your Eyebrows with Your Face Shape

The shape of your face is just as unique as you are, therefore the shape of your eyebrows should be tailored especially to you.

Before you pick up the tweezers, take this helpful advice into account when shaping your brows.

We found some great information from Eyebrowz on face shapes, as well as advice on how to shape your eyebrows accordingly.

The six basic face shapes and their characteristics:

Oval

Forehead is wider than chin
Prominent cheekbones
Fairly narrow chin

Perfect eyebrow shape is soft angled shape, goes straight up and gently curves round the top and down

Round

Face is almost as wide as it is long
Face is widest at the cheeks

High arch brow, shape should that follows a straight line to the peak of the brow

Long

Forehead, cheekbones, jawlines all about the same width
Narrow, oval chin

Straight horizontal lines that stop the eye, flat brow can make the face appear shorter.

Square

Forehead, cheekbones, jawline are about the same width
Squared jawline

Thicker, stronger color and shape can balance a squared jawline. A defined sharp peak at the top of the brow makes it appear stronger.

Heart

Similar to oval, but the chin tapers to a point

Low arch rounded brows creates a natural look. Highly arched brow can create a more dramatic feel and add length to a shorter heart shaped face

Diamond

Not as common as other face shapes
Highly angular
Shorter forehead, face is widest at temples

Curved brows with a high arch or round brow with pointed arch

How to Measure Your Face Shape

Eyebrowz also provides a great graphic on how to identify which shape your face is along with detailed these steps:

Waxing

After measuring your face to determine which shape most closely matches yours, you’re ready to start the process of shaping your brows to fit.

When shaping eyebrows from scratch, a stencil is an enormously helpful tool to use. Tweezers are great for touch ups, but shaping brows can be most easily achieved by different types of waxing.

Intrinsics also offers these waxing strips in the form of a 3” wide wax strip roll, for professionals to use as much or as little of the roll that they need. This high quality pellon leaves no residue and will not tear or stretch, ensuring a precise and clean waxing service.

Voilà! Your brows will be looking spectacular. Make sure to clean any waxed areas to prevent breakouts.
