Do you ever feel lost trying to get those perfect eyebrows? Seems like everyone’s promising the best brows, but how do you actually find a style that truly fits your face? Because here’s a secret: your brows aren’t just hairs. They’re like little artists, shaping your whole look. There are tons of eyebrow products and styles out there. From sharp Instagram arches to soft Korean ones. But one type definitely doesn’t fit all. They can totally transform your eyes, balance your features, and even refine your face shape. Ready to skip the generic tips and find what works for you?

Before we dive into specifics, remember the general starting points for all eyebrows:

-The Start: Hold a brush or pencil up against the side of your nose, pointing straight up. That’s where your brow typically begins.

-The Arch: Look straight ahead. The highest point of your arch should generally align with the point directly above the outer edge of your eye’s main opening, when you’re looking straight ahead.

-The End: Hold your pencil or brush from the outside of your nose through to the outside of your eye. That’s where your brow should stop.

Let’s put these rules to work on your own face now.

1. Diamond Face Shape-

That’s likely where you get those high, wide, and angular cheekbones, sometimes with a narrower forehead that tapers down into the hairline, and a tiny pointed chin. For you, thicker brows with definite curves are just right. This shape simply brings out your incredible cheekbones and helps balance out the length of your face. It’s all about flaunting your best features.

How to draw it: 

• While drawing build the apex of your brow to be quite sharp and noticeable.
• Make sure the tail extends a little further than your eye so that you have that evened out, elongated look that compliments your pointy cheekbones.

2. Heart Face Shape-

If your face is heart-shaped, you’re typically widest at the forehead and cheeks, often with a lovely strong jawline and a sharp, pointed chin. You need a beautifully sculpted brow with a soft, rounded arch. Because round shape helps to gently soften that pointed chin and those prominent cheekbones and jawline. Additionally, rounded brows subtly draw attention upward, highlighting your defined features without making them seem harsh.

How to draw it: 

• If you want an arch then make it soft. Nothing too pointed or sharp is allowed. 
• While filling in, try to achieve a smooth, gentle curve rather than a hard angle.
• This will serve to dramatically lengthen your jawline and chin.

3. Long Face Shape-

If you have a long face shape, you might notice that you’ve got prominent, rounded cheeks, and a reasonably even width and length to your face. To make the illusion of a shorter, more equal face, you’ll need to look for a more straight-edged brow with a less dramatic arch. A flat brow, with a little curve, can immediately make your forehead appear shorter, and ultimately, make your whole face appear less stretched out.

How to draw it: 

• Keep your arch very low, almost horizontal. 
• As you draw, let the brow’s tail extend slightly beyond its typical endpoint. This helps create a broader, more horizontal line.
• The horizontal thrust here makes the face appear shorter, so avoid the high peak here.

4. Oval Face Shape-

The oval face shape is a longer, slightly more rounded alternative to a long face. Your jawline and forehead are typically about the same width, and your chin will have a nice round shape to it with a smoothly curved jawline. You’re less pointed than a diamond face but more angular than a long face. Your most significant indicator is a soft but certain arch. 

How to draw it: 

• Aim for a soft, noticeable arch – nothing too high or too flat.
• Your goal is to maintain the natural balance and soft edges your face already possesses.
• Use smooth, well-defined strokes that gently follow your natural brow bone.

5. Round Face Shape-

If you have a round face, your features are smooth with not much sharp angles. Think about a rounder jawline and full cheeks. Since your features are so smooth overall, brows with a high sharp arch are preferable.  They look great to lift the eye upward and away from roundness of face. Try one where the brow gets darker towards the ends – that sharp arch is amazing for definition and contouring, creating a more structured, put-together look for your face.

How to draw it: 

• Make a definite, high peak in your arch. 
• Make the brow lighter at the start and gradually darker towards the tail. 
• This sharp, definite arch helps cut angles and shape where your face naturally has roundness.

6. Square Face Shape-

A square-face is now distinct from a round face because it has angles. While the overall dimensions might be similar to a round face, you’ll have a noticeably more structured jawline. For you, full and bold brows are fantastic for really defining the structure of your face. Well-balanced brows can also help to soften those strong, rectangular lines. And here’s a tip- a high but soft arch can actually help elongate your face while adding a touch of gentleness.

How to draw it: 

• Opt for a high, but not harsh, arch. 
• You’ll want to lift the face without anything too pointed that would replicate your jaw.
•  Pack them full and rather bold when filling, this is what counters the more angular, powerful features of the face. 
• Try to have the brow itself look powerful but graciously curved.
