When choosing the shape of the eyebrows, it is important to take into account the type of face.

If the patient has a square jaw, the brow should be in a gentle arch, as a flat brow makes the face look heavy and angular.

The long face is matched by a soft, rounded brow arch. But a high arch should be avoided, as it will further lengthen the face.

An eyebrow with a more angular arch will look good on a round face.

You should always evaluate the face as a whole and strive to harmonize it.

For a

round face suit most eyebrow shapes;

1. With a oblong face, thin and elongated, flatter eyebrows with a smooth wide arch will be combined;
2. For square face, eyebrows with a high arch will suit, which will visually lengthen the face;
3. If the shape of the face resembles a heart (the widest parts of the – forehead and cheeks, and the chin is narrowed), slightly shortened eyebrows with soft angles and curves will help to balance the face;
4. If the width of the forehead and jaw are the same (face type – diamond), the task of eyebrows – balance the cheekbones, narrow line of the lower jaw and forehead. To do this, you will need a soft, angular shape with a rise, a wide arch and a shortened brow tail.
