Not all girls can boast by nature. Most have to be content with what they have. By periodically adjusting the shape, the hairs look natural. However, if you skip a few procedures, then over time they will spoil even the most flawless makeup.
To know how to choose the shape of your eyebrows, you need to define it correctly.

Eyebrow shape: how to choose according to face type?

Before picking up tweezers, it is advisable to pay attention to facial features. This is important, because thin arcs of hairs on a round face or straight ones on a rectangular face look ridiculous. Facial features need to be played up favorably, and will cope with this task perfectly.
Round face
If the face resembles a circle, then you should not repeat the contours of the face, adjusting the shape of the eyebrows. In this case, a kinked line will do. It is desirable that they are wide with a narrow tip, moreover, they are raised high. However, an overly thin tip is also bad. You need to choose the middle ground, and then the facial features will be more expressive.
Oval face
Sitting too high for girls with this type of face is inappropriate. The shape can be rounded a little, but at the same time without making them too thin.
Square face
The curved arch raised up is the best option for choosing the shape of the eyebrows for girls with this type of face. Thin eyebrows are completely out of place here.
Triangular face
If the contours of the face resemble a triangle, then slightly raised eyebrows with a smooth bend will be the best option... However, if you overdo it with a kink, then it will give a sad and dull expression.
If the girls have an elongated face shape, then straight eyebrows can be modeled. This will help to visually round out the contours.

How to choose the right eyebrow shape: the perfect formula

Despite the fact that cosmetologists and makeup artists recommend choosing an individual eyebrow shape, there is a universal formula that will allow you to correctly model the eyebrows from the point of view of symmetry. Every girl can do this without visiting the salon. It is enough to stock up on a regular pencil.
In order to determine where the eyebrows should begin, you need to place the pencil parallel to the wing of the nose. Thus, the imaginary line will pass through the inner corner of the eye. The place where it intersects with the growth line can be considered their beginning.
Next, the pencil needs to be rotated 45 degrees so that the line passes through the center of the eye. The second point of intersection is the break point.
If the eyebrows are too rounded or falling down, it will ruin the whole picture. You can also determine where they should end by turning the pencil so that it touches the outer corner of the eye. The point of intersection with the hairs will be the end point. It is advisable to adhere to such a modeling scheme so that they look flawless (see photo).
In order to choose the right eyebrow shape yourself, do not forget that:

  • the line too lowered to the temples ages;
  • thick and darkening;
  • overestimation in the form of a comma risks imprinting an expression of constant surprise on the face.

Equally important is the distance between the eyebrows. Close-seated are capable of making a sullen and angry expression on their faces. Those who are set wide are also not able to emphasize your features favorably. The ideal distance is two fingers. If the eyes are set close, then a little less.

How to choose the right eyebrow shape: correcting mistakes

Not all girls can perfectly correct their eyebrows. Often the problem lies in the desire to tweak even more. And, having plucked too much, one can only dream of having the correct shape. However, don't be upset. All problems can be solved. The main thing is time.
If you have started the correction process too actively and the result is obvious, then hide the tweezers. It will take a long time to be able to choose the desired shape of the eyebrow. During the first week, it will be very difficult, as the hairs will grow unevenly. Selecting individual ones and plucking them out is not recommended if you want to grow a full eyebrow.
It may happen that voids have formed in the hairs. This does not mean at all that you should not go out with such a view. Use a pencil. However, you should not be too zealous in this matter. No need to make an arch out of decorative cosmetics, it is enough to confine ourselves to small short strokes. This will make the make-up adjustment invisible.
In order not to make mistakes in the future, it is important to remember that making wide and long eyebrows narrow is a crime. The maximum adjustment is to make the tip slightly narrower. In this case, it is not difficult to choose the shape of the eyebrows.
The "house" also looks ugly. The advice of the experts is as follows: to avoid sharp bends, you need to use a three-point scheme.

How to correct comma form errors correctly? The main thing is balance. To make the bend line less convex, the tip, which needs to be made wider, will help.

The correct eyebrow shape will help any girl look more attractive. The look will be visually more open, the face will be more expressive. If a mistake is made when choosing the correct shape, then the eyes will seem smaller, the face will become less symmetrical. But there is no single answer to the question "how to make the shape of the eyebrows correctly?" Right choice depends on the type of face, the depth of the eyes and current trends.

Types of eyebrows

Professionals conditionally divide the eyebrow into 3 parts: head, body and tail. The length and height of each piece determines the overall look. There are several of the most common types of eyebrows:

Correct eyebrows for the shape of the face

It will not be difficult to make eyebrows of the correct shape at home if you correctly find out the type of face oval. Usually, makeup artists distinguish 5 main types:

Oval is the most symmetrical type of face. If you draw a line along the borders of the face, you get almost an oval - not very elongated, with more narrow chin and the forehead, compared to the cheekbones. The correct eyebrow shapes for an oval face are arched, horizontal and ascending types. Select the density based on the size of the forehead - the smaller it is, the thinner you need to make your eyebrows;

Square - with this type of face, the forehead, as well as the cheekbones and jaw are almost the same width. The chin in this case is massive and very pronounced. The main goal of correctly selected eyebrows is to blur the angularity of the face, to make the flaws less expressive. The correct shape of the eyebrows for the type of face is square - horizontal or universal arched;

Round - cheekbones with this shape are wider than the forehead, jaw, vertically, the face is almost equal to its horizontal. The correct shape of the eyebrows for a round face is like a triangle, with a slight bend angle. Also, a good choice is the arcuate type;

Triangular, or as it is also called - in the shape of a heart. It is distinguished by a prominent chin of an elongated shape, and approximately equal in width to the cheekbones and forehead. From the cheekbones, the face line gradually decreases, the jaw is usually small. The most expressive on this type of face are eyebrows in the form of an arc, with a small fracture height.

When choosing the correct eyebrow shape for different types face, you need to pay attention to the height of the forehead, the shape of the eyes, and the depth of their landing. Length is also of great importance - with a successful selection, the face will either become more symmetrical or lose its natural look. For a better result, you can see a photo with the correct shape of the eyebrows, so that the choice is more correct.

How to choose the length of the eyebrows

Length is key when choosing the right brow shape. Too short will visually expand the face, and too long will narrow it beyond recognition. When choosing a length, it is important to focus on the golden mean.

In order to choose the right length, you need to use a pencil or an even brush with a length of more than 10 cm.

  1. To find out the starting point of the eyebrow, you need to place the brush against the corner of the nose.
  2. To determine the break point, you need to put the brush to the edge of the nose, and draw a line through the pupil. It is important to look directly while applying the pencil. At this point, the line should become narrower and go to the tip.
  3. The next step is to lift the brush up through the corner of the eye. The point obtained at the height of the eyebrows will be their beginning. This rule should be deviated from in the case of a non-standard eye fit. If the eyes are set close, then you need to move the eyebrows slightly apart. If the eyes are set too far apart, move them. Using this trick will visually improve the appearance of the eyes.
  4. The end point is determined in the same way, through the attachment of a pencil, only through the point of the outer corner of the eye. At this point, the eyebrow should thin and end.

How to shape your eyebrows

After the correct shape of the eyebrows is selected according to the shape of the face, the initial, final and highest points are marked, it is necessary to proceed with the correction. It is more convenient to draw the selected correct shape with a pencil, so to speak, separate the necessary hairs from the rest. Next, you need to prepare tweezers - it should be comfortable and sharp. The skin in the hair removal area and the tweezers themselves need to be heated to avoid infection.

You need to remove hair one at a time. If you pull out hair several times at a time, then, firstly, the procedure will be much more painful, and secondly, there is a possibility of disrupting the correct shape and pulling out excess hairs. It is highly undesirable to remove hair above the eyebrow, it is better to limit yourself to the lower half.

If the pain is too strong, you can stock up on special means to reduce pain. This can be found in any pharmacy in the form of a cream, or walk on the skin with an ice cube before the procedure. Cooling always helps relieve pain.

The correction procedure is best done in front of a magnifying mirror, and with bright lighting - this way it is easier to see and remove each hair. Otherwise, there will be many shortcomings after the procedure. It is important to remember that after plucking, the skin will turn red a little, so it is more correct to carry out the procedure in the evening, when you are no longer going to go out.

If you are not confident in your abilities, you can contact a beauty salon, where specialists will carry out the procedure quickly and accurately. In addition to the standard hair removal with tweezers, the procedure can be carried out with wax (which is much faster) or with a thread. It is less painful to remove hair with silk thread, and after such an operation there will be no irritation.

Do not get carried away with plucking - thin eyebrows are not in fashion now. According to the latest trends, thick, natural eyebrows of the correct shape are the most popular option for fashionistas.

Eyebrow makeup

In addition to hair removal, it is possible to shape cosmetics... Mascara, pencils, shadows and various brushes for application - all this can, when applied correctly, significantly correct the length, height and density of hairs.

To give the correct shape, you need to comb the hairs, then carefully fill in the gaps between them with a pencil or shadows. The color of the product should be chosen a little lighter than the natural shade of the hair. After filling, it is necessary to add volume - with ink. Then fix the result with a final coating - a special wax finish.

The most relevant way to paint eyebrows is to fill them in with movements at an angle of 45, lift them slightly above their natural position. The ponytail should turn out to be a little outstretched. The correct eyebrow should look as natural as possible, with neatly defined hairs.

How to choose the right eyebrow shape

Choosing the right shape for your eyebrows is not an easy task, because you must take into account all the proportions of the face. The standard method for determining the size of eyebrows at home independently looks as shown in the photo:

  • determine the inner corner of the eyebrow by placing a pencil on the wing of the nose;
  • determine the outer angle with a pencil applied from the wing of the nose towards the outer corner of the eye;
  • we determine the height of the eyebrow based on the fact that the pencil, as it were, passes through the pupil.

This in a simple way you will determine the size of the eyebrows you need. This is the first step, and the next step is to choose directly the shape of the eyebrows that suits you. Most often, the shape of the eyebrows is determined based on the type of face.

Eyebrows for a round face

the main objective chubby girls- slightly stretch and lengthen the face, the shape of the eyebrows comes to the rescue in this matter. Holders of a round face should choose an oblong shape in which there is a slight bend. It is important to ensure that the break of the eyebrow is not too sharp, and the width fluctuates within the average. Are categorically not suitable round face thick eyebrows, visually making the image even more heavier, as well as eyebrows in a semicircle, which round off the already smooth lines even more. Straight eyebrows should be avoided, as such lines can only emphasize the width of the face, and you need to hide it. If there is a soft break in the eyebrow, then this gives the features smoothness and softness to the look, as you can see in the photo.

Eyebrows for an oval face type

You can often hear that it is the owners of oval faces who are most fortunate, because it is difficult to spoil such a face shape with anything, and it is precisely for an oval face that any jewelry and cosmetics are most often suitable, it is it that is considered classically correct. However, the irregular shape of the eyebrows can change the oval beyond recognition. In order to avoid such oversights, the following types of eyebrow shaping should be chosen for an oval face:

  • almost straight shape with a slight bend;
  • classic eyebrow arch;
  • a slightly elongated eyebrow with a sharp tip.

Girls with oval faces too much kink should be avoided, as it visually lengthens the face, which is unnecessary. Eyebrows should be of medium width, too thin on the face will simply disappear. The right shape will hide the elongation of the face and soften the lines.

Suitable shape for triangle and square faces

The main goal of girls with a heart-like face is to visually reduce the forehead and make the pointed chin smoother. The best helper in this case, as can be seen in the photo, there will be a smooth arched shape of the eyebrows, raised up. Generally triangular face Straight and sharp lines, which can lead to the opposite result and make the face heavier, are strictly contraindicated. But the eyebrows of medium thickness, smoothly rising up, visually stretch the face and soften the features.

Girls with a square type of face should pay close attention to the high rounded arches of the eyebrows, the break of which is located exactly above the middle of the eye or at the very tip. Do not sharpen the tip of your eyebrow too much, this can sharpen your features even more, and you should also refrain from too thin line eyebrow, which can be lost on the face. Thicker brows will balance the heavy bottom of the face, while a curved shape will add a smoother look, like in this photo.

For eyebrow correction, of course, you can contact a specialist who will do everything quickly and efficiently and help you choose the most optimal eyebrow shape, but you can cope with this task at home. Here's what you need to do in order to correct the shape of your eyebrows at home with the highest quality.

  3. We determine the distance between the eyes, it should not be more than 2-3 centimeters, all hairs that go beyond these limits can also be carefully removed.
  4. Finally, remove the excess hairs that grow along the bottom line below the top point of the eyebrow.

Tip: To relieve pain after plucking eyebrows at home, you can rub the inflamed areas with an ice cube from a decoction of sage or chamomile.

Changing the color of the eyebrows is most often in demand among girls whose eyebrows are not dark enough, however, this method is often resorted to in cases where it is necessary to additionally emphasize the eyes, slightly change the shape, and correct the overall image.
There are several ways to correct eyebrows with color, for example, tattooing, but we will consider one presented in the photo and available at home.

In order to correctly shape the eyebrows with a pencil, you must first style the hairs of the eyebrows, and sharpen the cosmetic pencil well. The procedure for giving color is as follows - the lower border of the eyebrow is outlined with a pencil, then the entire eyebrow is painted with light strokes, after which the pencil is gently shaded.

General rules for correcting the shape of eyebrows

Each girl chooses the shape that is best suited for a particular type of face, based on her preferences. But experts have developed a certain set of rules that are tacitly recommended for compliance, namely:

  • the shape of the eyebrows should be smooth, in order to avoid vulgarity;
  • eyebrow hairs must be combed and styled in one direction;
  • the classic distance between both eyebrows does not exceed 2-3 centimeters;
  • hair is removed only along the lower contour of the eyebrow, this is very important;
  • from the head to the break point, the width of the eyebrow remains unchanged.

Remember that beautiful and well-groomed eyebrows can give your face a special charm and clarity of lines. Even at home with my own hands, with a small stock of skill, you can easily achieve that your eyebrows are striking with their beauty and grace.

Supermodel Linda Evangelista once stated that no one was able to come to this world with perfect eyebrows. And, of course, the diva of the fashion industry is right: nature gives women recommendations and advice, but the perfect shape of eyebrows is the personal merit of every beauty.

"Eyes are the mirror of the soul", "not tinted lips - mauvais ton", "the basis of beauty is perfect skin". Some parts female face a lot of attention is paid. Of course, this is quite justified, but no makeup will make your appearance harmonious if your eyebrows are too thin, too wide, unnaturally short, grotesquely raised, or never knew care at all.

How to choose the right eyebrow shape?

It is impossible to get neat and spectacular eyebrows without tweezers - every woman has extra hairs on the bridge of the nose and the fixed part of the upper eyelid. But overdoing it with plucking, you will get a comic (and in fact - tragic) result. How to choose the right eyebrow shape? What features of appearance do you need to pay attention to?


The first is the original brow line. All you can do is just tweak it. If you have perfectly straight eyebrows, don't try to round them up. Triangulars can become straight only after losing half of their length. Fortunately, in the vast majority of cases, the natural shape of the eyebrows is close to ideal. Nature is a talented artist.

Interesting to know: Among women Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome was held in high esteem the so-called monobrow - that is, the densely overgrown bridge of the nose. This was considered a sure sign of intelligence and passion. In the Middle Ages, women, on the contrary, shaved off their eyebrows completely and drew new ones: Japanese women - to raise their line higher, and Europeans - to visually enlarge their foreheads.

The second is the proportions of your face. They define both the length and the width of the arc. Large, rough features are not combined with thread-like eyebrows, and thin, small ones are lost against the background of thick and massive ones.

The third is the shape of your face. Eyebrows, due to their graphicality, have the ability to visually stretch or, conversely, reduce its oval.

Face geometry: how to choose the shape of the eyebrows

Eyebrows have several types of shapes:

  • Straight
  • Curved
  • Soft corner
  • Sharp angle
  • Rounded

Each of these shapes can look different, depending on the height of the arch of the eyebrow (the distance between the bottom and top points of the arch) and its width.
The face shape is presented in several more options, and each has its own ideal eyebrow shape.

Oval face

This face shape is considered the most harmonious. Almost any eyebrow is suitable for its owners, but curved brows are best. Example: Halle Berry, Courteney Cox.

Long face

The oblong shape is well compensated by straight eyebrows - they create a balancing horizontal line. Sharp angles and pronounced roundness of the arcs will make such a face more elongated. It is also important to have a sufficiently wide distance between the eyebrows so as not to focus the eyes of others on the bridge of the nose and thereby not narrow the oval even more.
Example: Sarah Jessica Parker.

Square face

This shape is characterized by a somewhat heavy jawline. Eyebrows with an expressive break will help to compensate for it. The angle can be either sharp or soft, and the width of the eyebrows is medium or thin. Example: Paris Hilton, Penelope Cruz, Marilyn Monroe.

Round face

This shape also requires the angularity of the eyebrows: she does not need additional smoothness. Curved, clean lines add missing sculpturality to the face. Example: Drew Barrymore, Charlotte Church.

Triangular, or heart-shaped, face

In order to balance the face with a sharp chin, it is best to give the eyebrows a soft, rounded shape. The wider the face, the higher the brow arch can be. Example: Scarlett Johansson, Victoria Beckham.

Diamond-shaped, or "Diamond"

A distinctive feature of this form is pronounced cheekbones. For a harmonious look, give your eyebrows a bold, curved, medium width shape. Example: Rihanna, Sophia Loren.

Beautiful eyebrow shape: determine the length and angle

You may have heard of such a novelty - an eyebrow stencil. It would seem, distinguishing the idea: attach, circle, remove what did not fit into the frame - and that's it! But do not rush to make this mistake - your face differs from everyone else in proportions and size. Beautiful shape eyebrow does not require templates and stencils.

The points of the beginning, end and break of the eyebrow arches for each woman are determined individually. Eyebrows, even the most groomed and fashionable, won't look good if you don't consider the width of your nose and the size and position of your eyes. To draw the perfect line, you need a regular, thin pencil or straight stick.

  1. Place the pencil against the wing of the nose so that it runs straight through the inner corner of the eye. The point where this line crosses the eyebrow is the correct starting point for it. The average distance between the eyebrows is approximately equal to the width of two fingers (if the eyes are closely set, it decreases, if they are wide apart, it increases).
  2. Connect the wing of the nose to the outer edge of the iris (of course, look straight ahead). Where the pencil crosses the brow arch, and the top of its bend should be located.
  3. Similarly, connect the point at the nose to the outer corner of the eye to define the end of the brow line.

Take these measurements for each eye separately. For convenience, mark the points obtained with a pencil. Brush your brows from the beginning to the top of the corner and from the top to the end. Remove excess hairs with tweezers, while being careful not to touch the upper border of the eyebrow. Then direct all the hairs up - those that turn out to be too long, carefully trim.


The right eyebrow may differ from the left. If the hairs at the beginning of one of them are in the wrong direction, do not try to correct the situation by plucking: trim them to necessary boundaries scissors and, if necessary, fill in the blanks with fine pencil strokes.

How to shape the eyebrows? Use the advice of makeup masters:

  • For eyebrows, use a well-sharpened soft pencil slightly darker than their natural tone or matte shadows.
  • You can tint your eyebrows with a special wax or gel - these tools, moreover, will fix the hairs in the required direction.
  • The higher and thinner the eyebrows, the smaller the eyes appear.
  • The closer they are to the bridge of the nose, the larger the nose looks - however, this does not mean that the five centimeter distance between the eyebrows will make it smaller.
  • To visually raise the arch of the eyebrow and make the look lighter and more expressive, apply a highlighter or light shadows with a soft satin sheen to the fixed upper eyelid.

Fashion for the shape and width of eyebrows changes quite often, and radically. If you want to always stay in trend, stick to the golden mean: not too straight, but not too round eyebrows of medium thickness always look feminine and actual.
