Everyone wants to have full, natural, and perfect brows, but not all of us do.
Most of us have to spend hours doing up our brows to ensure we look our best every day. Well, not anymore!
Thanks to microblading, there is no need to do up your brows every morning or worry about your brow pencil running out.
This procedure has helped transform the morning makeup routines of thousands of women and provides natural-looking and perfectly shaped brows that can last for 18-24 months.
If you are already sold on microblading but are struggling with what eyebrow shape to choose for your face and bone structure, you have come to the right place!
Let’s break down what brow shape is best for your face shape and apply that knowledge to achieve flawless results.
What Face Shape Are You?
Determining your face shape is the first step to understanding what brow shape is best for you. This knowledge will also prove useful in all your cosmetic and aesthetic decisions going forward.
Decisions for haircuts, hairstyles, blush positioning, eyeliner application, sunglasses, and more can all be made easy when you understand your face shape.
Face shapes are typically distinguished by face proportions, length, width, jawline, and cheekbones. There are also five distinct types of face shapes which include round faces, square faces, oval faces, heart-shaped faces, and oblong faces.
The easiest and quickest method to find out your face shape is to measure the width and the length of your face using a ruler, observe the high point of your cheekbones, and identify the shape of your jawline.
Doing this will allow you to figure out what face shape you fall under, allowing you to make more informed decisions.
What Brow Style Best Suits Your Face Shape?
To find the right microblading eyebrow shape for your face let’s break down each face shape and discuss what eyebrow styles would best suit them.
Do You Have a Round Face?
It’s quite easy to determine if you have a round face or not.
People with this face shape have soft, curved lines instead of sharp ones. The jawline is also usually rounded, and the cheeks are fuller.
As for the length and width, a round face has a shorter face length and is wider around the cheeks. The hairline in round faces is also smooth and proportioned.
A well-known round face is that of singer Selena Gomez.
Her round face has few angles, which is why she prefers to opt for arched brows that give the appearance of shorter width and create an overall proportioned look.
Do You Have a Square Face?
You can tell a square face when you see one. People with this face shape have a strong jawline, sharp angles, and a broad forehead. The jawline is often the deciding factor of a square face and it is quite prominent.
Angelina Jolie, one of Hollywood’s most popular actresses, is an excellent example of a person with a square face. Her face is equal to the forehead, chin, and cheeks and is as wide as it is long. The hairline is also straight and the cheekbones are flatter, neither rounded nor sharp.
Square shapes have a lot of angles and the amazing jawline makes slightly slanted brows the best choice for eyebrow shape.
Ensuring there are no sharp angles or high arches on the brows helps keep things balanced and avoids having harsh lines.
Do You Have an Oval Face?
Think of an oval face as a round face but slightly longer.
The jawline of an oval face is somewhere between round and angled, and the cheekbones are often prominent.
Superstar Rihanna is the epitome of an oval face as her face is neither too sharp nor too soft. People with this face shape can have their pick of brows, but if you had to choose, a natural gently arched brow is likely best suited for this particular face shape.
Do You Have a Heart-Shaped Face?
Heart-shaped faces are distinguished by their characteristic broad forehead and pointed chin.
People with heart-shaped faces also have high cheekbones, mimicking the high points of the heart. However, these high points aren’t sharp or angled but have softer curves.
The jawline in a heart-shaped face starts strong near the ears but tapers down as it goes towards the chin. Sydney Sweeney has a classic heart-shaped face. Many people with this face shape may have a widow’s peak hairline.
A suitable way to enhance such a face shape is to go for brows with a round arch or opt for simple straight brows to balance out the pointed chin.
Do You Have an Oblong Face?
Oblong faces are longer than they are wide and have a straight jawline.
Due to the elongated shape, the forehead, the cheeks, and the chin are aligned and proportioned.
People with oblong faces are usually gifted with high cheekbones. Think of Bella Hadid. This American fashion model is the epitome of an oblong face.
Oblong faces will benefit greatly from elongated, thick, and straight brows. These brows will balance out the length of the face, adding more dimensions and creating a harmony of proportions.
