It’s a common knowledge that we will take these timeless eyebrow styles over trendy shapes any day. With many wacky brow trends making the rounds these days, it can be tough to figure out what eyebrow style will be most flattering to your face. How do you choose the right eyebrow shape, especially if you don’t have access to a pro? To take the guesswork out of finding the best eyebrow shape for your face shape-including round, square, oval, heart and more – I’ve put together this expert guide breaking down all the different eyebrow styles and names. These options are classic and flattering, with easy upkeep that won’t have you raising your brows at the cost of maintenance.
Below are 5 Eyebrow Shapes for All Faces:
Arched in the Middle Eyebrow
If your brows naturally arch more toward the centre than the ends, you can totally work with that. Ask a salon pro to clean up stray hairs under the highest part of your arch without creating a peak, which could result in a constantly surprised look.
Arched Toward the tail
Best for faces, this shape features an arch just before the outer corner of the brow. If you have a round face, you want to try and give yourself an arch so you don’t have a round brow on a round face. But trust me, this classic brow silhouette looks phenomenal on almost any face shape.
Rounded Eyebrow
A brow’s arch doesn’t have to be angular. Sometimes, a softly rounded shape can be the most flattering option, especially if the rest of your face has sharper features. For an angled face, you want a rounder, fluffy brow to soften the look.
Tapered Eyebrow
A close cousin of the ‘arch toward the tail’, a tapered brow’s inner two thirds is noticeably thicker than the ends. If you love this look but your brows are the same width throughout, keep in mind that it will require much more maintenance, including regular face waxing.
S-Shaped Eyebrow
An S-shaped brow starts up in the centre and then subtly dips down before rising into the arch. This is typically a natural occurrence, which some try to correct with shaping and makeup-but as you can see here, there’s no need because it looks fabulous.
