What looks good on one person won’t necessarily look the same way on someone else. If you’re choosing a new look, base your eyebrows on your face shape.
If you have a round face…choose an angular eyebrow shape. Creating strong lines with your eyebrows can help balance the softness and lack of definition in your face. This can help give the appearance of more defined bone structure.
If you have a square face…opposites attract! Try a rounded eyebrow shape. Your new curves can help offset a more angular jaw and soften your features.
If you have a heart-shaped face…you’ll want to go with a controlled shape with a high arch. Adding height to your eyebrows can translate into helping lengthen the look of a shorter jaw.
If you have an oval face…you aren’t constricted by too many rules. Since an oval face is already balanced, you don’t have to depend on your eyebrows. Help accentuate your symmetrical shape with a soft angle.
If you have a long face…keeping your eyebrows horizontal can help stop the eye from traveling downwards and make your face look shorter. Extend the tails of your eyebrows directly to the side to help add visual width to your face.
A common mistake people often make when it comes to their eyebrows is attempting to make them both look exactly alike. But remember: Eyebrows are like snowflakes—no two are quite the same. They should look similar—related so to speak, like sisters, but definitely not twins.
Novices to eyebrow shaping and shading can benefit from using an eyebrow stencil. Just place these plastic stencils over your eyebrows and use your preferred eyebrow makeup to fill inside. Remove the stencil when you’re done, and you’re good to go.
If you want your eyebrows to look real—which, of course you do—it’s important that they aren’t one solid shape or color. Study any (real) eyebrow for a few seconds and you’ll notice that the hair is generally finer at the front, becoming more concentrated towards the middle and through the tail. To help make your eyebrows not appear tattooed on, it’s essential to replicate this fade when filling them in. Put less product at the front of your eyebrows, adding more as you reach the ends, and you’ll achieve a similar look.
When you’re illuminating your face, don’t let your eyebrows feel left out. Use a hint of highlight on them, too! With a highlighter eyebrow pencil, like the L’Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Brow Raiser Highlighter Duo, trace under your eyebrows and blend out using your fingertip. Just a touch of a glow beneath your eyebrows can help give the illusion of a higher arch.
If your hands aren’t so steady and your shading skills have some room for improvement, there's an easy fix. Concealer can be used to help give your eyebrows a sharper shape and save even the messiest of arches. Grab a creamy concealer, like the L’Oréal Paris True Match™ Super-Blendable Multi-Use Concealer, and a small concealer brush and get to work. Just place the product along the edges of your eyebrows and blend outwards to help redefine.
Magnifying mirrors might seem great in theory—but when you use one, all of a sudden, you’re seeing pores you didn’t even know were there and finding the tiniest of hairs to tweeze away. Then, before you know it, you’ve ended up with overly thin eyebrows. A regular mirror, minus the magnification, should be enough for your grooming needs.
Instead of going into tweezing without a game plan, fill in your eyebrows first. Use an eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder to help create the exact shape you want, and then only tweeze the hairs that fall outside of the shape you made.
Now that your eyebrows will look positively on point, make sure the rest of your face does, too. Instead of rocking a ton of makeup, let your eyebrows stand out with a no makeup, makeup routine. Our article, How To Rock The No Makeup, Makeup Look: The Complete Tutorial, will show you the ropes.
