TL;DR:
- Eyebrows shape facial expressions; trends now favor natural, bushy looks.
- Adjust eyebrows by determining their start (pencil from nose wing), arch (pencil from nose through pupil), and end (pencil from nose to eye corner). Adjust wider noses by aligning with the nose tip.
- Match eyebrow shapes to face types:
- Oval: Any shape works.
- Round: High, triangular arches.
- Square: Rounded, soft brows.
- Long: Straight, minimal arches.
- Triangular: Closely spaced, defined kinks.
- Use eyebrow pencil for sparse brows; consider permanent makeup for convenience.
- Permanent makeup risks can be mitigated with Pico laser removal.
- Enhancements: brow lifts (surgical or thread) for aging signs and symmetry.
- Strengthen eyebrows with castor oil, lamination, or conditioners (vitamin B5, keratin). Avoid aggressive plucking; soothe irritation with ice or aloe.
Eyebrows are able to completely change the expression of the face – unfortunately, not only positively, but also negatively, if they are done wrong. Trends are changing, thin, hooked eyebrows used to be king, and now the opposite is true – more natural, even bushy. How to adjust them to fit the shape of the face?
How to determine the shape of the eyebrows?
Many women decide to make their daily lives easier and apply permanent eyebrow makeup. However, if you want to adjust them yourself, it's better to take the time to determine the right shape so you don't end up with a perpetually puzzled expression on your face. **It's a good idea to start eyebrow adjustment by plucking the hairs that extend beyond the brow. The next step is to mark out a few points to help maintain the right shape. All you need is a pencil or other long, narrow object. To begin with, it is best to put the pencil to the wing of the nose – this way you will mark the beginning of the eyebrow. However, it is better not to follow this if you have an unusually wide nose, because the eyebrows will be too widely spaced. Then it is better to move the pencil closer to the tip of the nose. It is very important to determine the place where the eyebrow will begin to narrow and point downward. It is best to guide the pencil diagonally from the wing of the nose through the pupil. The more hairs you pluck out, the sharper the eyebrow will be, so you'd better be careful not to give your face an angry expression. Now it remains to determine the end of the eyebrow. Simply position the pencil diagonally from the wing of the nose to the corner of the eye. People with a wide nose, again, should bring the pencil closer to the tip.
How to choose eyebrows to match the shape of the face?
The above rules are quite universal, but eyebrows should also be selected according to the shape of the face to sharpen or, on the contrary, smooth the features. It is worth following some simple rules:
- Oval face – it is the least problematic, virtually any eyebrows fit it, both more pronounced and more subtle arches.
- Round face – ideally the eyebrows should be more triangular. It is advisable to place the inflection point of the eyebrows higher and guide the end at a sharper angle.
- Square face – sharp features are worth softening with eyebrows that lack sharp edges and pointed ends. It is better to bet on more rounded, delicate eyebrows.
- Pull face – eyebrows can help visually shorten the face. Ideally, the kink should be very gentle, eyebrows should be close to a straight line.
- Triangular face – with such a face shape it is worth leaving a smaller gap between the eyebrows. The ends and the kink can be quite clearly marked.
How to deal with problematic eyebrows?
**Some eyebrows are more difficult to manage than others. Many people have thin eyebrows by nature, and it is often the case that the beginning of the eyebrow is much wider than the end. In this case, a radical adjustment will not lead to anything good – instead of a facial shape, you will get a thin arch straight from the 90s A better solution would be to add hairs with a crayon, so that the eyebrow narrows only after the kink, at the point where it heads downwards. Sharply cut eyebrow pencils work best here, allowing you to naturally touch up individual hairs. Eyebrow filling is also an option for people with sparse eyebrows. However, it's worth taking into account that it's quite labor-intensive – to make eyebrows look good, you need to spend time every day on their makeup. Many people with weak hairs therefore opt for permanent eyebrow makeup. **Some women are wary of such procedures because of their long-lasting effects, which could potentially prove unsatisfactory. The Pico laser, which can be used to remove permanent eyebrow makeup, proves helpful here. The picosecond laser is the most effective tool, proving itself not only for eyebrows, but also during removal of permanent eyelid and lip makeup.
How to improve the appearance of eyebrows more dramatically?
The appearance of the eye can also be improved with the help of aesthetic medicine. In the fight against drooping eyelid, blepharoplasty will work. However, if the problem is not located directly on the eyelids, but on the forehead, the solution is brow lift. The procedure lifts the eyebrows and the corners of the eyes and reduces wrinkles. This is a more radical solution for those who can already clearly see signs of aging, or even after injuries and diseases that cause asymmetry on the face.
Eyebrows are also worth caring for!
We often forget that eyebrows can also be nurtured to make them stronger and healthier. One of the best products for eyebrows is Ricin oil, which can be bought at virtually any drugstore. It's best to apply it every evening with a brush or beauty stick. Thanks to the oil, eyebrows will grow faster and become stronger. An additional advantage for those with light-colored hairs will be their gentle darkening. Women who expect stronger results can bet, for example, on eyebrow lamination or botox. Waxes also work well, with the help of which you can easily emphasize the shape of the eyebrows. [read url="https://otcoclinic.com/section/cosmetology/" text="Eyelash and eyebrow lamination – what is worth knowing?"]. **The shape of eyebrows changes with age, as the skin loses elasticity over time and begins to droop. It is common for eyebrows to recede and cause the eyelids to droop, giving the face a sad, tired expression. This is where it makes sense to go for invasive solutions, such as a surgical brow lift to get rid of excess skin, get rid of wrinkles and rejuvenate the look. You can also bet on less invasive lifting threads, which lift the skin, smoothing out wrinkles. It is also worth being careful with the adjustment, because if it is quite aggressive, it can irritate the skin. Immediately after plucking hairs or using wax, it's a good idea to **rub the irritated area with an ice cube** or aloe vera gel. You can also reach for ready-made eyebrow conditioners. It is good if they contain such ingredients as vitamin B5, panthenol, keratin or natural oils. Such substances will make eyebrows grow faster and become shinier. We often take care of eyelashes, but forget about eyebrows, and this is a big mistake, because they can really change the appearance of the face. It is worth remembering to take care of them, and if necessary – reach for help in the form of permanent makeup or lifting.
