As poets say, eyes are the mirror of the soul, which attract attention and help express feelings and emotions. But eyebrows are also located in a privileged place, so collectively they are very important on the face.
The big advantage is that they are facial elements that will allow for many modifications, you can change their color, shape, thickness, etc.., which is why design is so important.
Before starting the study, we note that according to the form we can get different results:
Illuminate and improve appearance.
Emphasize the beauty of your eyes, making them larger and more expressive.
Balance of proportions on the face.
Ensuring facial symmetry.
Add youth to your face.
Soften or harden the expression.
What makes the face more natural or serious.
Time to Practice
In general, eyebrows are not properly represented, naturally, so in most cases they must be modified to have the size, color and thickness of the line appropriate for each type of face and eyes.
The shape of the eyebrows is optically oval and does not depend on the size of the eyes, length and width of the nose. Shape correction must be calculated down to the millimeter, since the balance of the face and the entire harmony of the face largely depends on them.
To study eyebrows, we must know the characteristics of the face and its elements in order to determine the most appropriate corrections for each case.
Our body and face are like geometric shapes, so to study the face we classify it with geometric shapes, faces are oval, round, square, oblong, rectangular, triangular, inverted triangular and hexagonal.
An important point to make here is to remember that it is difficult to find pure ovals, so we must identify common features for wide or narrow areas to match them with the lines and length of the eyebrows. Remember how to better identify oval shaped faces and compare them compared to others.
In my drawing you can see that the contour of the eyebrows has a more or less upward curve and consists of three parts, where the thickness is different:
A- thick part.
B is the highest point, or upper half.
C- tip or tail, the thinnest part.
Key aspects:
COLOR
The color of the eyebrow shade can be light, medium or dark intensity
The color of the eyebrows affects the facial expression - soft or menacing.
Tips for choosing the color of your eyebrows:
The color of the eyebrows should be in harmony with the color of the hair.
If the hair is light, the color of the eyebrows should be a tone and a half darker than the hair.
Optically dark eyebrows appear wider. That's why you have to decide on a color.
Make changes to eyebrow color:
1 - Plucking.
2 - coloring
3 – enhance the color with an eyebrow pencil.
Eyebrow line
The eyebrow line can be horizontal, ascending, descending and rounded, and others.
Tips for choosing a line:
If the face is oval and balanced, in this case it is better that the shape of the eyes is taken into account to a greater extent.
If you have a round face, then your eyebrows need to be lengthened a little to balance their width.
The oval of the face is square/rectangular, the eyebrow is short and soft, slightly thinner in width to soften the expression.
If you have an oval-elongated face, widen your eyebrows along a horizontal line and raise them slightly upward.
If the face is triangular, long eyebrows extend upward and balance with the lower part of the face.
They ate the face into an inverted triangle, with short eyebrows to narrow the top.
LENGTH
The length of the eyebrows should be balanced, long or short.
The length of the eyebrow mainly affects the optical perception of the face, especially in the upper part, making it wider or narrower.
Tips for choosing length:
If your face shape is oval, its length should be balanced.
Eyebrows are short, optically narrowing the upper part of the face, so this option is better for a wide face, triangular and hexagonal face shapes in the ranks with the highest point of the eyebrow being the widest.
Long eyebrows, on the contrary, expand the forehead area. I recommend these if you have a narrow or triangular face.
THICKNESS
The thickness of the eyebrow can be balanced - thin or thick
Thickness affects mainly the eyes and facial expression.
Tips for choosing thickness:
If your eyes are small and your forehead is small, your eyebrows should not be too thick.
If your eyes are large, your eyebrows may be wide.
Very thin eyebrows are more challenging.
Very thick and wide eyebrows make the facial expression firm.
CONNECTION WITH THE EYES
The distance between the eye and eyebrow mainly affects the overall pattern of facial expression.
Before you start creating perfect eyebrows, you need to choose a time and place, stock up on tools and prepare your face for the procedure.
1. Choose a time, place and tools
Choose a day when you are not in a rush. Keep in mind that eyebrow shaping takes on average 30-40 minutes. Additionally, the skin will take some time to recover from plucking. Therefore, it is better to schedule the procedure on a weekend when you do not need to apply makeup.
It is preferable to pluck your eyebrows in daylight: this way, even the finest hairs will be visible to you. For maximum comfort, it is better to sit in front of a wall mirror, dressing table, or find a mirror on a stand. This will keep both of your hands free.
The mirror should be quite large so that you can monitor how symmetrical your eyebrows are.
To remove the smallest hairs, use a special magnifying mirror.
In addition to this, you will need:
- Good tweezers. Choose it depending on the thickness of your eyebrows and hair growth patterns. Well, remember that the tool should lie comfortably in your hand.
- An eyebrow brush to gently comb your eyebrows before choosing a shape.
- A long thin object: an orange stick, pencil, pen, brush, etc. Useful for marking the beginning, bend and end of the eyebrow.
- White eyeliner to mark guide lines and dots.
- Nail scissors to trim too long hairs.
- Disinfectant, paper and cotton pads for treating tools, hands and skin, as well as for removing torn hairs. Alcohol-containing lotions or salicylic acid (alcohol solution) work well.
Before you start plucking, disinfect tweezers and nail scissors, and wash your hands.
2. Prepare your face
Remove your makeup so that excess makeup does not make plucking difficult. Wash thoroughly, and then apply a moisturizing or nourishing cream to clean and dry eyebrows. This will help soften the skin.
Wait 10-15 minutes and remove excess cream with a paper towel. To avoid redness, swelling, and infection, wipe the area around your eyebrows with a disinfectant.
Find the eyebrow shape that suits you
- Remove hairs strictly in the direction of their growth to avoid creases, microtraumas and the appearance of ingrown hairs. Pull sharply, in one confident movement.
- Do not pull out hairs in bunches.
- To reduce pain, try to grab the hairs as close to the root as possible and gently stretch the skin.
- Cold tightens the pores and makes the receptors less sensitive. Therefore, wipe your skin with an ice cube.
- Do not forget to remove the removed hairs with a cotton pad and periodically disinfect the tweezers.
- Pluck your eyebrows in parallel to avoid asymmetry: a few hairs on one side, the same number on the other.
- Don't get carried away: growing eyebrows is much more difficult than plucking them.
- To get rid of irritation and redness after the procedure, wipe your eyebrows and the skin around them with a decoction of chamomile, mint or sage.
- Don't forget to maintain the shape of your eyebrows and take care of them. Pluck overgrown hairs, nourish your eyebrows with oils (castor, burdock, almond or olive are suitable), and also correct the shape of your eyebrows using cosmetics.
Make up your eyebrows
Decorative cosmetics will help highlight the shape of the eyebrows and correct imperfections. With a minimum set of products and proper application, you can achieve excellent results.
1. Prepare cosmetics and tools
- Brush.
- Two eyebrow pencils in similar shades.
- Brush with beveled bristles.
- Eyeshadow palette.
- Gel or pencil for fixing eyebrows.
It is best to choose cosmetics designed specifically for eyebrows.
2. Apply makeup
Pluck and trim excess hairs if necessary. Comb your eyebrows with a special brush in the direction of hair growth. Then smooth out any stray hairs.
Using an eyebrow pencil, draw two neat, smooth lines under the bottom and above the top lines of the eyebrows.
Using a special brush with an angled tip, carefully shade the empty areas of the eyebrow, using shadows from the palette that match the color.
Carefully blend the shadows and pencil, and then secure with gel or eyebrow pencil.
Use light matte shadows from the palette to hide all imperfections and imperfections in your makeup. To make your look more open, add some shimmering shadows.
Briefly about how to create perfect eyebrows
- Find good lighting and have a handy mirror and tweezers ready.
- Clean your face, disinfect your hands and tools.
- Determine three main points: the beginning, arch and end of the eyebrow.
- Draw the outline of the eyebrow and pluck everything that goes beyond it.
- Pluck your eyebrows periodically and take care of them constantly.
- Eliminate imperfections using decorative cosmetics (minimum required: eyebrow pencil and shading brush).
After a while you will get the hang of it. Then plucking and makeup of eyebrows will take much less time. We hope you will be pleased with the result.
Irregular eyebrow shape can make the most beautiful face look ugly. But if chosen correctly, it will add zest and make the look more attractive. Correcting eyebrows is an art! To comprehend it, you need to go to the mirror and objectively evaluate the advantages and disadvantages and experiment with a pencil. The website will help with this!
Mistakes in makeup and choosing eyebrow shape
Before we get to the topic, let’s work on the mistakes: using the example of celebrities, let’s look at the mistakes.
In the first photo the arch is too curved and looks asymmetrical. Not the right color. In the second photo, the eyebrows fit harmoniously into the image.
In the first photo, the eyebrows are too dark for Lindsay Lohan's color type. Looks heavy. You should choose a lighter warm shade.
You and I will not make any annoying mistakes and will look as if we just left the best salon.
Eyebrows according to face type. Schemes with photos
Round
A round face is characterized by:
– approximately the same length from the center of the face to the extreme points;
– slightly highlighted chin and cheekbones, soft contours;
– low forehead.
They should visually lengthen it. The “tapering” effect is created thanks to the drawn soft bend. A round shape, which visually makes the face look fuller, is definitely not suitable.
2 shaping options:
- Pluck the hairs under the break and above the descending tail. This will increase the bend if it is naturally small.
- Shape your eyebrows so that their bases remain thicker than the tails, and make the bend more pronounced.
When plucking, do not remove the length: short eyebrows look vulgar. Correct only the ends that are sharply lowered down.
Oval
The oval face type is considered classic. Here you need to take into account the structure of the eyes, nose, and mouth. With ideal facial features, it is enough to give a classic shape, but if:
- The oval of the face is too elongated - soften it with straight lines. The bend should not be too pronounced.
- Massive chin – slightly lengthen the edge of the eyebrow.
The correct oval face is emphasized by horizontal eyebrows. With them, the look acquires charm, becoming more predatory, the oval of the face is slightly shortened. The main thing is not to overdo it and not to bring it too low, otherwise the look will become angry. Also make sure that the tail does not fall down. Pluck a few hairs from the inner corner of the eye and start painting, giving preference to neutral colors: gray, light brown.
There is a formula for choosing eyebrow color: it should be 2 shades darker than the hair color of blondes, and 2 shades lighter than the hair color of brunettes. Brown-haired women choose brown shades.
If you are not sure that you can draw the shape correctly, divide it into 3 parts: 2/3 from the bridge of the nose smoothly rises up, from the break 1/3 gently falls, going a little further than the point of the outer corner of the eye.
Triangular
Triangular face features:
– wide cheekbones and forehead;
- narrow chin.
Our task is to visually narrow the cheekbones and “balance” the forehead and chin. Draw a uniform but pronounced arch of the eyebrows, leave the length classic and the width medium. Smooth lines will soften a sharp chin. Avoid straight, wide lines. They will weigh down the upper part of the face.
Square face
A square face type is characterized by:
– wide forehead and cheekbones;
– equal width of the upper and lower parts of the face;
– straight and strong lines.
Our task is to soften heavy facial features and make them more feminine. Eyebrow shapes that are undesirable on a round face are welcome on a square one. Draw rounded eyebrows with a rainbow-like arch. Their base should be wide, smoothly turning into a straight line above the middle of the eye, the tip should be somewhat pointed.
Sharp pointed features, thin and short lines are not welcome. If you overdo it with “roundness,” you risk giving your face a stupid expression.
Eyebrow shape taking into account the advantages and disadvantages of facial features
When changing your image, it is important to take into account not only the oval of the face, but also its features. Deep-set eyes with drooping horizontal eyebrows or chubby cheeks with “strings” look ridiculous. When making corrections, we will take into account the features of a person’s appearance and use the advice of stylists.
So if:
- Facial features are sharp, they will be softened by arched and smooth shapes.
- The eyes are deep set - medium thickness is appropriate. Wide ones will make the look even more closed, and “threads” are good only for fans of the 20s of the 20th century.
- The eyes are close-set - pluck the hairs at the bridge of the nose, but do not overdo it: the ideal shape starts above the inner corner of the eye.
- Eyes are set wide - draw in eyebrows with a pencil towards the bridge of the nose.
- If the facial features are large, wide eyebrows are appropriate; if they are small, medium-width eyebrows are appropriate.
Pluck the hairs with sharp tweezers with slightly rounded tips. Paint with high-quality paint purchased in specialized stores and correct with gel.
Finally, we will demonstrate how the correct arch of the eyebrows changes the face. The girl has a square face shape, in order to “soften” the angles and elongate her face, the eyebrows were given a more arched and smooth shape with upward-sloping tips. Also, loose hair covers the cheekbones, which makes the face more elongated.

The shape of the eyebrows helps give the face the desired expression. When a face is drawn, the anger, joy, and sadness experienced by a person are conveyed using the shape of the eyebrows and the position of the corners of the lips.
Not a single girl dreams of looking gloomy and gloomy, and besides, she is sociable and cheerful. How to determine and choose the ideal eyebrow shape to make your face memorable, your eyes expressive, your image seductive and charming?
Artists who create masterpieces use the laws of harmony. When applying makeup, the face is also drawn, and when working with cosmetics, it is important to adhere to ideal proportions.
Eyebrow length: beginning, end, curve
Before looking for the correct eyebrow shape, let's decide on their length. This is done with the help of a pencil or a developed imagination.
When choosing eyebrows, their correct shape and length, according to the type of face, you need to take into account the individuality of the person. Correctly chosen straight or curved eyebrows, with a soft or sharp angle, or rounded, can enhance the attractiveness of the face. In the makeup artist’s arsenal there is also the width of the eyebrows and the height of the arch.
- For a round face
Chubby girls will benefit from curved eyebrows, which will visually elongate the face vertically. The correct shape can be made with a soft or sharp angle, depending on the image being created and the individual characteristics of the face. Those with a round face should avoid rounded eyebrows - they will emphasize the round shape of the face.
- If your face is oval shaped
Women with oval faces are lucky; any eyebrow shape suits their proportional face. If the oval is elongated, the eyebrow disproportion will be smoothed out with a soft angle. A face that is too narrow will be widened by straight horizontal eyebrows, but they should not be too wide (this can create a gloomy, gloomy image) or too thin. The desired roundness of the face will be created by eyebrows of moderate width and thickness.
With a large chin and proportional cheekbones, an elongated eyebrow shape looks beautiful on an oval face.
- For square, triangular faces
A triangle-shaped face will be decorated with moderately large eyebrows with a smooth curve. If you make the arch high, you can give your face an inappropriate expression of constant surprise. Round ones will make the image feminine and soft. When drawing the correct eyebrow, you should make the arch higher, the more elongated the face is. 
When choosing the most suitable shape for a square face, they try to equalize the proportions and visually expand the upper part of the face; this effect is achieved by long eyebrows. They can start with a smooth curve that softens the facial expression. The rounded shape will add feminine softness to the look. You can create a strict look by raising the top point of the arch in a sharp curve (it is desirable that the eyebrows are thin). Girls with a square face should be careful about the straight shape of the eyebrows, which visually widens the upper part and makes the face shorter.
- When your face is like a heart
Rounded or softly curved eyebrows will help harmonize the proportions of a wide face narrowed towards the chin. They will give the face roundness and soften its expression. When drawing an eyebrow, you need to make sure that its beginning and end are on the same line. Otherwise, the facial triangle will expand and the disharmony in the proportions of its upper and lower parts will increase.
- If your face is a diamond
The diamond-shaped face is quite rare, as are diamonds. The shape itself makes the face unusual, with charm and zest. Curved eyebrows will help to emphasize the beauty of the image; they will visually make the widest parts of the face narrower.
Reminder for those who do makeup
Just as a photograph can be shaded with a frame, so thanks to the shape of the eyebrows, knowing which one best suits the type of face, you can make the image more attractive and express the individuality of a person. When drawing a face, you need to remember that eyebrows:
- in the shape of an arc they create the image of a soft, flexible, open person;
- with a sharp bend they speak of a tough character and a penchant for adventurism;
- wide and straight, in the shape of a horizontal line, indicate the potential of a leader, enormous willpower;
- raised high can give the face an expression of surprise;
- low-hanging ones, and even wide ones, give the face a gloomy expression and add years.
When doing makeup, you need shadows, pencils, and gels for your eyebrows. You can draw their appropriate shape with shadows; experts advise using only matte shadows. To emphasize the line of the eyebrows, their contour above and below can be shaded with light powder. After applying the color, the hairs need to be combed and styled using a fixative gel. 
If you draw with a pencil, the shape of the eyebrows should already be selected. Using a thin pencil tip, clear lines of shape are applied to the skin and then shaded with a brush. The use of a greasy pencil is not advisable - under the influence of body temperature and due to sweat and fat secretions from the skin, the applied texture may smear and run.
You can often find girls with problematic differences in the color of their eyebrows and hair on their heads. When naturalness and naturalness are in fashion, such a difference looks sloppy.
To correctly determine and choose the color of a pencil, you need to adhere to the rule - its color should be a tone lighter than the eyelashes and a tone darker than the hair. When preening throughout the day, you need to be careful and touch up your makeup carefully.
In fashion, the emphasis is on natural, natural beauty, and the shape of the eyebrows is given the most natural look. And yet there are trendy shapes - eyebrows with a kink, making the look somewhat predatory, feline and rounded, giving the look expressiveness.
Depending on your skin type and hair color, choose eyebrow pencils from light brown to black. Bushy eyebrows are thinned out, long hairs are trimmed.

Eyebrow shapes for different face types
Round
- The dream of many girls with this face shape is chiseled cheekbones instead of rounded cheeks, no matter how cute and charming they look from the outside. Therefore, they abuse contouring, trying to at least visually make their cheeks more sunken. But you are much more likely to get sculpted facial features if you shape your eyebrows with a graceful bend. They should have a corner and a pointed tail. Since chubby people, as a rule, do not have sharp facial features, such eyebrows look especially expressive in their case, adding character to the image.

Oval
- If your face is oval, then when correcting the shape of your eyebrows, it is best to strive to “straighten” them. At the same time, they can be slightly rounded. But a sharp break is something that, on the contrary, should not happen. It will give extra severity to your facial expression. And arched eyebrows will make the face too elongated - you hardly want to achieve this effect either.

Square
- The most characteristic thing about a square shape is a wide jaw. The goal is to visually soften the geometry that distinguishes this type of face, as well as “narrow” it a little. So, when deciding on the shape of your eyebrows, choose soft arches, rounded, without points or “corners”. Also, attention should be paid to the width of the eyebrows: for girls with a square face, beauty gurus say, thin string eyebrows are contraindicated. A natural medium width will be ideal.

Rectangular
- When the face type is rectangular, the same rules apply as for a square face. The only difference is that the bend should not be made high. But at the same time, the eyebrows should be longer than with a square type, otherwise the face will appear narrow.

"Heart"
- With a triangular face type, the forehead is especially noticeable - it seems “heavy” due to the fact that the upper part of the face is larger than the lower. A properly chosen eyebrow shape should correct this. It shouldn’t be direct – that’s it. Two - try to either make them arched, or with the “tails” slightly raised up. If they “look” down, the face will take on a sad look.

Diamond-shaped
- This face shape is also called “diamond”. It is characterized by angularity, so eyebrow correction specialists recommend smoothing out this feature with a soft, rounded bend. Slight geometry at the highest point of eyebrow lift is acceptable, but there should be no sharp breaks. Again, it is not the best solution to make eyebrows straight - the arched shape is considered the most suitable for girls with a diamond-shaped face.

How to determine the correct eyebrow proportions? Step-by-step instruction
Eyebrow makeup and correction of their shape can be started with it only after determining the correct proportions. Let's find out how to do this.
© fotoimedia/imaxtree
- First, determine the placement of the eyes. They are considered wide-set if the distance between them is greater than their width, and they can also be close-set or have a normal fit.
- Secondly, mentally divide your eyebrows into three parts - the beginning, the arch (their highest point) and the tip.

To correctly determine the proportions of your eyebrows, mentally draw three lines - to the beginning of the eyebrow, to the bend and to the tip. The line to the beginning of the eyebrow should run vertically upward from the “wing” of the nose. The line to the curve is drawn from the center of the chin through the pupil to the eyebrow. And the line to the tip is from the “wing” of the nose through the outer corner of the eye.
