How to Choose the Right Brow Shape for Your Face
Round face
• Go for brows with a soft, high arch
• This adds length and gives the face more definition
• Avoid very rounded brows so your face doesn’t look fuller
Oval face
• Choose a natural, soft arch
• Keep the shape balanced and not too sharp
• This face shape works with almost any brow style
Long face
• Choose straight brows with a gentle curve
• This helps shorten the appearance of the face
• Avoid high arches so the face doesn’t look longer
Square face
• Pick a strong brow with a soft arch
• The arch balances sharp jawlines
• Avoid flat brows; they make features look sharper
Heart-shaped face
• Choose a soft, rounded arch
• This balances the wider forehead and pointed chin
• Keep the front of the brow natural and not too heavy

Common Eyebrow Mistakes to Avoid while Drawing a Perfect Eyebrow
Overdrawing the brows
• Filling too much makes the brows look heavy
• Keep strokes light and build slowly
Making both brows too different
• Your brows don’t have to be identical
• But keep them close in shape, length and arch
Using a very dark pencil
• Dark shades make the brows look harsh
• Choose a colour close to your natural hair
Ignoring blending
• Unblended lines look fake and blocky
• Use a spoolie to soften and spread the product
Harsh front of the brow
• A strong front makes the brows look unnatural
• Keep the front light and soft with gentle strokes
