Face types and eyebrows
Depending on the shape of your face, you must choose the most harmonious shape before getting your eyebrows plucked.
Oval
On an oval face, eyebrows without much of a bend look good. It’s crucial to avoid making the face even more narrow and elongated in this situation.
Square
In this instance, we believe that slightly bent eyebrows will visually narrow the face and soften its features.
Round face
In this instance, sharp tails and narrow eyebrows with a more defined corner will look natural. They will give a round face more expressive lines.
Triangular
A triangular face shape’s prominent upper portion and pointed chin are its key characteristics. Raised and arched eyebrows will aid in bringing the features into harmony.
Determine “your” eyebrow shape
You can attain harmony on your face by following a few rules. Using any cosmetic pencil, it’s simple to determine the ideal shape for your eyebrows.
- 1 To determine where the eyebrow begins, you need to place the pencil vertically on the wing of the nose so that it crosses the inner corner of the eye. The point where the pencil intersects with the eyebrow will be the optimal start of the eyebrow.
- 2 Place the pencil diagonally to your nose so that it passes through the center of your eye. The point where the pencil intersects with the eyebrow will mark the highest point of the eyebrow arch.
- 3 Draw a third point with a pencil: place the pencil at the base of your nostril and point it diagonally so that it intersects the outer corner of your eye. The point where the pencil intersects with the eyebrow will mark the point where the tail of your eyebrow starts.
- 4 Now you can connect all the marked points, creating a contour that will help you pluck your eyebrows to get the optimal shape for you.
