The Power of Eyebrow Symmetry
As the anchoring feature of the upper face, eyebrows play a critical role in shaping not only our expressions but the overall harmony of our appearance. Research confirms a strong link between well-groomed symmetrical brows and perceived attractiveness, youthfulness and health.
When brows lack proportion or become patchy due to over-plucking, aging, or medical conditions, the entire facial aesthetic feels “off.” Fortunately, advances in brow shaping and restoration make it easier than ever to achieve your perfect arch.
Steps to Sculpting Your Ideal Arch
No two sets of eyebrows are identical, so avoid chasing someone else’s brow goals. Instead focus on working with your natural brow shape and facial dimensions to enhance your unique features in a flattering way.
Determine Your Face Shape
Identify whether your face is round, oval, square, heart or another variation. This guides which brow curves will provide the most balance.
Measure Key Brow Landmarks
Using a brow pencil, map out where your brows should ideally start, arch and end based on your bone structure. Guidelines include:
- Brows start at the outer edge of the nostril
- Brows peak about 2/3 of the way from inner to outer corners
- Brows end 45 degrees from the outer eye corner
Assess Your Natural Hair Type
Brows can range from thin and wispy to thick and coarse. Crafting the right size and definition depends on your individual brow hair type and patterning.
Highlight Your Eye Shape
Much like picking flattering eyeglass frames, certain brow styles complement specific eye shapes. For example:
- Round eyes benefit from high-angled brows for lift
- Monolid eyes appear larger with thin straight brows
- Almond eyes are balanced by softly angled arches
Techniques for Perfecting Your Brows
Thanks to advanced shaping and styling methods, sparse spotty brows are a problem of the past. Popular options include:
Brow Waxing
Precision wax shaping removes excess or unwanted hairs to construct a smooth symmetrical silhouette without any gaps.
Brow Tinting
Carefully deposited semi-permanent dye amplifies color and fullness while extending your sculpted shape between appointments.
Brow Lamination
Also known as a “brow perm,” this treatment relaxes and redirects brow hairs to lay in a desired uniform direction rather than at odd angles for a polished groomed look.
Microblading
This cosmetic tattooing technique uses a handheld device to draw individual hair-like strokes into the dermal layer to create the look of augmented thickness.
