Bushy, Arched Or Natural: Which Type of Eyebrow Shape Best Suits Your Face?

By Lora Brown

By now, we all know that changing your eyebrows can change your whole look.

However, not everyone is cut out for trendy, thick brows a-la Cara Delevingne or an extreme arch like Angelina Jolie. Find out which brow shape is the best fit for your face shape, below.
​
Eyebrows For Round Faces
If you weren't born with angles that shape your face, you can help to create them. Shape your brows with a defined arch to help give your face definition.

With the right eyebrow shape, you can give the appearance of more defined cheekbones and wider eyes. Those with round faces should avoid soft rounded brows that will exaggerate the face shape.

Eyebrows For Oval Faces
For those with oval shaped faces, anything goes. While you might want to play with arches and fuller looks, your natural brow is often your best bet. The natural brow offers a classic, well proportioned look. A bit of tweezing can keep you looking groomed and polished, while a professional can help if you want to create more of an arch.

Eyebrows For Long Faces
If you have a long face, your brows can help minimize that length. Rather than focusing on arch, give your brows some length. Keeping the arches minimal and creating tails on the ends of the brows can give your face a wide appearance that will balance out the length.

Eyebrows For Heart Shaped Faces
The heart shaped face is defined by a pointed chin. That strong angle can be balanced out with your brows. If you have a heart shaped face, embracing your natural arch can help to soften your angles. The key is to keep the eyebrows perfectly groomed. When manicuring the brows, be sure to avoid overdoing it. A harsh, pencil-thin brow won't do you any favors.

Eyebrows For Square Faces
Like those with heart shaped faces, those with square faces will want to balance their angles with a more rounded brow. The goal is to create a soft look to contrast the square shape. Opt for a slight, low arch and don't be afraid of a little extra volume. Those with a square face can take part in the bushy brow trend. Use a brow pen or powder to make them slightly darker and thicker.
