There Are 5 Eyebrow Shapes—Which Do You Have?

Best for Heart-Shaped Faces

A slight, gradual arch is universally flattering, but the small uptick near the outer end helps to balance out a longer chin by drawing the eye upward.

Products you should use: Brow mascara will keep your arches soft and fluffy, sans harsh lines—just the way you want them.

Best for Square Faces

Contrary to popular belief, a high, curved arch won’t make you look perpetually surprised if you have a broader, more square face shape. It will actually soften and elongate your bone structure, making everything look less harsh.

Products you should use: A brow pencil is your best friend. Fill in any sparse areas and enhance the shape with thin, quick, hair-like strokes that add definition instead of a heavy, tattooed-on appearance.

Best for Round Faces

There’s nothing more youthful than a round face. Lean into it with a full, playful brow silhouette that lends structure to a circular face shape.

Products you should use: A cocktail of products is your best bet: Start with a pencil to define and fill in thin patches, and then brush hairs up and out with brow mascara to create a wispy look.

Best for Diamond-Shaped Faces

Hello, bone structure. A curved brow with a gently angled arch will balance out the widest part of your face.

Products you should use: Brow powder applied with a small brush leaves a softer shadow-like appearance, which complements a curved edge. Stick to a shade or two lighter than you think you need or you’ll run the risk of things looking too drawn on.

Best for Oval Faces

While a high arch can make a face look longer, a straight brow with a gentle, natural arch will help widen it. A good rule to follow: The farther from your nose the arch is, the broader your face will appear.

Products you should use: Brow pens offer the same precision as felt-tip eyeliner, but with more of a watercolor finish. Thin strokes will create hair-like dashes that keep things looking soft and natural.
