Eyebrows make your skin look more expressive
You tend to forget about them concentrating on your eyelashes. That’s a pity, because it is eyebrows which help your eyes look deeper, reshape your face outline adding "character" to it.
The most important thing you have to remember when shaping your eyebrows is to make them look natural. Thin eyebrows sharpen the face, whereas bushy (similar to those of the Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo) are suitable only for women of the southern type. You have to match the shape of your eyebrows to your appearance, face oval and eyes span.
Beauticians’ advice
Perfect eyebrows can hide some defects. I recommend you have a professional do your brows first to set a "blueprint", then all you have to do is pluck where the hairs grow in. Look what shape your eyebrows must have depending on your face oval.
- Square face – rounded eyebrow ridges should be thicker at the beginning and thinner at the outer edge;
- Long and oval face – eyebrows should be as natural and as long as possible;
- Rectangular face – eyebrow edges should rise a bit up to temples;
- Sloping eyelids – eyebrows shorten and rounded a bit;
- Small and closely set eyes – eyebrows a little moved back, without hair growing near nose base;
- Widely set eyes – eyebrows shortened, ending at the outer edge of the eye;
