Unfortunately, I can't give you a definitive eyebrow shape recommendation without knowing your face shape. The best eyebrow shape is one that complements and balances your facial features. According to the provided reference, the general rule is:
...go for a brow shape that's opposite to your face shape...
Here's how eyebrow shapes generally work with different face shapes:
Eyebrow Shapes for Different Face Shapes
The best eyebrow shape often contrasts with the natural shape of your face:
| Face Shape | Recommended Eyebrow Shape | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Square | Soft, rounded, or undefined arches | Softens the angular features. Sharp, angled brows will only emphasize harsh, angular lines on the face. (Reference) |
| Round | High, angled arches | Adds definition and lift, making the face appear slimmer and more defined. |
| Oval | Versatile; can suit various shapes | The balanced proportions of an oval face allow for more flexibility. Experiment to find your preference. |
| Heart-Shaped | Soft, rounded, or slightly curved brows | Softens a wider forehead and balances a narrow chin. Avoid overly dramatic arches. |
| Long/Rectangle | Flat, horizontal brows | Makes the face appear shorter and wider, balancing the elongated shape. |
| Diamond | Curved or slightly angled brows | Softens the widest part of the face (cheekbones) and adds balance. |
How to Determine Your Face Shape
- Stand in front of a mirror. Pull your hair back from your face.
- Outline your face shape: Use a dry-erase marker on the mirror or take a photo and draw on it.
- Analyze the outline: Determine which of the above shapes it most closely resembles.
Once you know your face shape, you can use the table above as a guide to choose a flattering eyebrow shape. Remember this is a general guideline, and personal preference plays a role too!
