Find Your Face Shape

Start by pulling your hair back from your face, and with no
makeup on, look closely in the mirror.
The features for each shape to look for are:

Oval Face Shape

forehead is wider than
the chin
prominent
cheekbones

face is widest at the

cheeks

face gracefully tapers

to a narrow oval chin

Square Face Shape

forehead, cheekbones
and jawline all about
the same width

Round Face Shape

face is almost as
wide as it is long

Long Face Shape

forehead, cheekbones
and jawline are all
about the same width
can tend to have a
prominent chin

Heart Face Shape

similar to oval but
the chin tapers to a
point.

squared jawline is the

most obvious feature

has an elongated
appearance

Diamond Face Shape

not as common as the
other face shapes
typically the face is
highly angular
the forehead is
somewhat short

the face is widest at

the temples

Still not sure? - A simple test

Measure the length of your face with a ruler. (In
this case the total length of the face is 8).
Divide the total length by 3. (In this case 8
divided by 3 is 2.67 or 2 2/3).
Measure the length from the bottom of your nose
to the bottom of your chin. (in this case 2 1/3),
If the last number (the 2 1/3 number) is larger
than the first number (the 2 2/3) than chances
are you have a long face.
If the last number is less than the first number
than chances are you have a round face.

If the last number is equal to the first number

than chances are you have an oval face

Perfect Eyebrows For The Oval Face Shape

This is considered the ideal face shape. The brows play no

role in making the face appear "more oval" -it already is
oval.

The "perfect" brow shape is generally considered to be the

soft angled shape. This is in fact our most popular stencil
shape, and works beautifully with an oval face shape.

Perfect Eyebrows For The Heart Face Shape

The Goal
Soften your look with curves and create a beautiful
heart shape using the point of your chin as the heart
bottom and the brows as the top of the heart.

The Solution
Apply rounded brows. The curve of the brow is soft, feminine and
attractive and also creates the heart like look of the face.

Heart Face Shape

The Eyebrow
A low arch round brow creates a natural look. A high arch round
brow adds (possibly needed) length to a shorter heart faceshape.
Notice that many of the beautiful celebrities in the round brow
shape catalog have a heart faceshape.

Perfect Brows For The Round Face Shape

The Goal
Make a round face appear less round by making the face
appear longer.
The Solution
Apply lines that go more up and down the face. This helps
draw the eye up and down and lengthens it. Create as high an
arch as you can.

The Eyebrow
A Round Face

Look for a brow shape

that follows a straight line to the peak of the brow, and creates
more vertical lines. Stay away from a rounded brow shape. This
makes a round face look very round. Many customers prefer the
soft angled look - presented below. Consider also the angled brow
shapes and the higher arches available in the stencil catalogs under create your own collection (Ty#1 is a favorite).
A high arched brow accomplishes this.

Perfect Eyebrows For The Square Faceshape

The Goal

A square jaw is a strong feature. Balance it with a strong

brow or soften it with curves.
The Solution
A thicker stronger color and shape balances a heavier
jawline. A defined sharp peak at the top of the brow
makes the brow appear stronger.

The Eyebrow
Angled brows create this balance. Also consider the curved brow
shape, suggested for diamond face shapes. The curves soften stronger
features.

beautiful celebrities that have a dimaond face shape also
have curved brows.
