Find out the best eyebrow shape for your face
Determining your face shape
Knowing your face shape is a great start to determining which eyebrow shape is for you. Faces come in various contours, each with unique characteristics influencing the ideal eyebrow style.
The common face shapes include round, oval, square, heart, diamond, and triangle. To determine your face shape, start by pulling your hair back and analysing the proportions of your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline. Compare these dimensions to the distinct face shapes' characteristics to find the closest match.
The best eyebrow shape for your face
Once you've identified your face shape, you can tailor your eyebrow style to enhance your features. For round faces, angular eyebrows help add definition, while oval faces can opt for balanced, soft arches. Square faces benefit from gently curved brows to soften strong features, while heart-shaped faces harmonise with well-defined arches and softly tapered ends. Diamond faces can pull off curved brows to balance angles, and triangular faces suit thicker brows that taper towards the temples.
Regardless of face shape, a basic clean-up and natural eyebrow shape work as a foundation. Cleaning up stray hairs and maintaining a natural arch eyebrow shape provides a clean canvas for any style. Understanding your face shape can go a long way in selecting the best eyebrow shape that complements and highlights your unique features.
Steps to shape your eyebrows at home
Achieving perfectly groomed eyebrows at home is straightforward if you follow the right technique:
Pre-Trim Instructions:
Gather your tools, including a Braun Precision Styler or Eyebrow Trimmer, which can offer precision and ease in shaping. Begin by cleansing the eyebrow area to remove any oils or makeup residue. This ensures a smooth surface for shaping.
Eyebrow Mapping:
Use a fine eyebrow pencil or brow brush handle to determine your eyebrows' starting point, arch, and end. The highest point of the arch can be found diagonally from the nostril through the middle of your eye. The outer edge is found from the nostril to the outer corner of your eye.
Shaping Instructions:
Carefully trim any overgrown hair outside the mapped area. Use your Braun 3-1 eyebrow trimmer to precisely trim and shape the brows according to your preferred style. Whether it's a gentle arch, bold angular brow shape, or soft curve, the precision styler allows detailed control.
Post-Shaping Care and Maintenance:
After shaping, apply a soothing gel or moisturiser to soothe the skin. You can also brush your eyebrows using a spoolie brush to keep the hair in place.
Common eyebrow shaping mistakes and how to correct them
Eyebrow shaping can sometimes lead to unintended mistakes. However, there's no need to worry – many common blunders can be easily corrected with a few simple techniques. Here are some valuable tips to help you recover from eyebrow shaping mishaps:
Over-Plucking: If you've gone too far with plucking, let your brows grow back by avoiding further plucking. You could try temporarily filling the overplucked area with a brow pencil that matches the colour of your brows or stimulate growth by using a serum.
Uneven Brows: If one brow is higher or lower than the other, use the higher one as a guide. Allow the lower one to catch up over time, achieving a more balanced look.
Overly Thin Brows: If your brows are too thin, allow them to grow out for a while. Use brow serums to promote eyebrow growth.
Misshapen Arch: If you have accidentally misshapen your arch, let your brows grow to reshape them properly. You can conceal strays with makeup temporarily while you wait for your brows to grow out.
Well-shaped eyebrows are a game-changer; they can frame and enhance facial features. So, are you ready to achieve the perfect eyebrow style for your face shape? The Braun Precision Styler and Eyebrow Styler can help you get professional results at home.
