Best Eyebrow Shape For An Oval Face: Think Soft Angles  

If your face has soft, rounded features with wide cheekbones, then you have an oval face!   

• Often considered a versatile face shape, an oval face can be described as an “ideal” shape due to its harmonious proportions. 

• While most brow styles can work, the best eyebrow shape for your face includes a soft arch to maintain balance for a polished look.  

• Avoid overly flat brows or a shape with sharp angles.   

Brow Service Suggestion For Oval Faces:

A brow tint can provide a subtle arch with a flattering color boost that will complement your features.

Eyebrow Shape For A Round Face: Try a High Arch  

 Full cheeks with equal width and length creating soft curves best describes a round face shape.  

• Elongating the face while adding definition is the goal for those with a round face. 

• To balance those full facial features, an angled high arch is recommended to provide your brows and face with a lifted appearance.  

• Steer clear of a rounded or flat brow shape. This can cause an even more rounded or wide-looking face. 

• A round face shape is the perfect example where our stylists will use​​ mapping techniques to determine the best brow shape.  

Brow Service Suggestion for Round Faces:

Brow threading is best for achieving groomed brows with a high arch.  

Ideal Brow Shape For A Square Face: Soft and Structured Is It 

A strong jawline with a forehead that’s similar in width best describes a square face shape!  

• To soften these structured features, a soft, curved brow will provide roundness and a lift to bring balance to the face.  

• A brow shape that is too rounded or flat should be avoided as it can accentuate a square shaped face even more.  

Brow Service Suggestion for Square Faces:

Go with brow threading and tinting for flattering brow curves and a gorgeous, groomed look!  

Eyebrow Shape For A Long Face: Straighten and Extend  

If it’s the length of your face that stands out and appears oblong, then your face shape is long!  

• Your goal will be to add balance horizontally in a way to visually shorten the length of your face 

• To minimize a vertical face shape, you will want to go with straight yet soft-looking brows that appear “flat” and create a bit of width. 

• Don’t aim for high arches! This could elongate your face even more. 

Brow Service Suggestion for Long Faces:

Here, we suggest brow tinting to enhance that more straight brow appearance.

Best Brows for Heart-Shaped Faces: Reach For Round and Refined 

If you have a wider forehead and wide cheekbones plus a pointy chin, then you likely have a heart-shaped face. 

• To balance your lower face, you will want to soften the appearance of your forehead with softly-rounded brows that include a low-to-medium arch. 

• Anything that could accentuate your forehead like an angular or high arch is NOT your friend. 

Brow Service Suggestion for Heart-Shaped Faces:

Consider brow lamination to provide a longer-lasting brow look with structure. Another option is brow tinting to create fuller-looking brows for adding proportion to the upper area of your face.

Eyebrow Shape For A Diamond Face: Curve to Balance Cheekbones  

If your face includes a narrow forehead and chin, but wide cheekbones, then you have a diamond face!  

• Your goal is to widen the appearance of the upper area of your face and reduce angularity.  

• You will want brows with a slight angle and light curve to create balance and soften your strong cheekbones.  

• Shy away from overly arched or pointy brows which will only draw more attention to the width of your face. 

Brow Service Suggestion for Diamond Faces:

Brow threading can work wonders for adding those soft angles your face shape needs!

Eyebrow Shape for Triangle (Pear-Shaped) Face: Arch and Elongate  

A wider jawline and narrow forehead best describes those with a pear-shaped or triangle face.  

• The goal here is to create a lifted appearance to the upper portion of your face by adding width to your brows.  

• Your eyebrows should appear longer with a slight arch to create symmetry and draw attention upward.  

• Don’t miss the opportunity to create a more open look to your forehead, therefore avoid flat or short-looking brows.  

Brow Service Suggestion for Triangle Faces:

Once again, we suggest eyebrow threading to provide a manicured, flatter brow look.

FAQs: Eyebrow Shapes and Face Shapes 

What is the best eyebrow shape for my face? 

The best eyebrow shape depends on your face shape. A soft arch flatters oval faces, while high arches can elongate round faces. Flat brows suit longer faces, while curved or angled brows balance heart- and square-shaped faces. A professional can help customize the best shape for your special features. 

How do I know my face shape for eyebrows? 

To determine your face shape, pull your hair back and look at the overall outline of your face in the mirror. Focus on the width of your forehead, cheekbones and jawline, along with your chin shape. Once you know your face shape—round, oval, square, heart or long—you can match it to the most flattering brow style. 

What eyebrow shape suits a round face? 

Brows with a higher, defined arch are ideal for round faces. This shape helps visually elongate the face and creates a more lifted look. Avoid overly rounded brows, as they can exaggerate the roundness. 

Can eyebrows change the shape of your face? 

Yes, the right eyebrow shape can change how your face appears. For example, arched brows can make a round face look longer, while a flat brow can soften a long face. Shaping your brows strategically enhances balance and highlights your natural features. 

Should eyebrows be thick or thin for my face shape? 

Eyebrow thickness should complement your face shape and features. Fuller brows often suit round or heart-shaped faces, while softer, medium-thickness brows flatter oval or long faces. Avoid over-thinning; a well-balanced brow shape is more important than just thickness alone. 

Is it better to get eyebrows shaped professionally? 

Yes, professional eyebrow shaping is recommended. A trained artist can identify the best shape for your face, ensure symmetry and avoid common DIY mistakes. Professional techniques (like threading!) deliver clean, long-lasting results, often lasting up to 4 weeks.
