Guide to the Different Eyebrow Shapes + How to Sculpt Your Most Flattering Brows

Different eyebrow shapes can be a game-changer for our faces, depending on what face shape we have. We all can remember a bad experience when our eyebrows came out too thin, too bushy, or just didn’t look right. Eyebrows are definitely not one-size-fits-all, so how do we know which brow shape will work best? We spoke with makeup artist Ariel Dropkin to learn about different eyebrow shapes and she shared some of her tips on choosing the right shape for your face.

The Right Brow Look for Your Face Shape

Comparable to haircuts, choosing the right eyebrow shape can really enhance the structure of your face. Not only that, but choosing the right eyebrow shape can make you look younger, healthier and more awake. Whether you do your own brows or go to a professional, it’s important to know what brows will work best for your unique (and beautiful) face! Let’s break down the different face shapes, how to pinpoint which shape you have and how to get your best brows.

As we do with any beauty topic, we recommend seeking the help of a brow professional if you’re reluctant to try it yourself. Brow bars are trending now more than ever, so there is definitely a pro nearby who can help you out. If you’re looking to take the do-it-yourself approach, you can still embrace your natural brows! Instead of over-grooming them into a new shape, simply manicure what you’re already rockin’! As Dropkin says, “Over-tweezing is virtually a thing of the past,” so be proud of your bold brows, no matter what face shape you have.
