Eyebrow Shapes that Flatter Your Face

Eyebrows can often make or break a look, but which ones look best? There are as many eyebrow shapes that flatter the face as there are face shapes. Whether you get them waxed, tweezed, cut or just leave them left alone, they can speak volumes about your personality and your own personal style. (Check out our blog from last month about face shapes if you aren’t sure what kind you have.)

 

Round Faces equal Slim, Medium / High Arch

If you have a round face shape, a slim medium arch will often appear the most flattering. However, round face shapes can practically get away with any type of eyebrow shape especially if they are maintained and well-groomed. A high arch is often used. Celebrities with round faces: Charlize Theron, Kelly Clarkson, Adele, Emma Stone.

Square Faces equal Thick, Slight Arch

When you have a square face shape like celebrities Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock and Demi Moore, a thicker eyebrow may be the trick needed to help create balance. A soft curve with a defined peak at the arch is also a great shape to include adding some softness to your fabulous angles.

Oval Faces equal Soft, Angled Arch

An oval face is considered to have many options when it comes to creating great looking brows. For an elegant look that compliments any oval face shape, try a soft angled shape like Jennifer Aniston, Grace Kelly or Britney Spears.

Heart-shaped Faces equal Smooth, Round Brow

If you have a similar face shape to Heather Locklear, Jennifer Lopez and Reese Witherspoon then you have a heart-shaped face. A smooth, round brow adds more femininity and softness to your features.

Oblong Faces equal Straight, Horizontal Brow

Celebrities like Liv Tyler, Janet Jackson, Lisa Kudrow and Jennifer Love Hewitt all have long, oblong-shaped faces. These stars have shaped their brows to be straight and horizontal. This helps their faces appear shorter without diminishing any angles.
