How To Determine Your Eyebrow Shape

How To Determine Your Eyebrow Shape

How To Determine Your Eyebrow Shape: The perfect eyebrow is seemingly unattainable, unless you're a celebrity. But with the help of Beverly Hills makeup artist Bobbe Joy. We here at VideoJug will show you how to determine and shape your eyebrows like a hot, Hollywood celebrity.

You will need…

  • a thin stick
  • a brow pencil


Step 1:

Find Your True Shape

If you're brow is naturally angled, that's right for you. If you're brows are full, that's right for you. If you're brows are narrow, that's right for you. The idea is to work with what you have.
Forcing a different shape onto your face doesn't work. Your brows will be more noticeable because they will just look out of place.


Step 2:

The Inside Edge

Line the stick perpendicular to your face at the edge of the outside of your nose. Then with your brow pencil, mark a dot at the intersection of the stick and the highest point of your eyebrow. That's going to be the starting point for the shape of your brow.


Step 3:

The Outer Edge

Line the stick from the outer edge of your nose to the outer edge of your eye. Again, make a dot with your brow pencil at the point where the stick and eyebrow meet. This will decide where your eyebrow will end.


Step 4:

The Arch

Lastly, hold the stick perpendicular to your face and line the stick to the outside of the iris of her eye. Mark a spot with your brow pencil at the highest point of your eyebrow where the stick lands. This is where the highest point of your arch should tuck into.


Step 5:

The Finishing Touches

Finish by tweezing and shaping your brows. Pencil in any bald spots.

    My eyebrows are long, coarsely textured, curly, and naturally grow downward -- even though I'm constantly brushing them up, having them professionally shaped ...they're a nightmare.

    I live in London and my eyebrows have been ruined over the years by beauticians. I only wish I lived in Hollywood and could have BobbeJoy tweeze/resuscitate my over-plucked brows. Does anyone have the equivalent of BobbeJoy in London they could refer me to?

    Thank you for actually going through the process instead of just explaining it. But how should a person do the marking and measuring if their face isn't perfectly even? Should we try to make both sides match or go according to the individual eye? I have one side closer to my nose and slightly smaller.

    Not everyone has the cash to get it done professionally or the time to go down and get them done. Very helpful though, have to try the stick trick next time i do mine.

    For Anonymous 65 days ago…first, if you’ve been the one doing the damage to your brows, stop, put down the tweezers, and seek professional help from a brow expert. If you’ve chopped up your brows-that’s your fault. The only thing you can do is wait for the hairs to grow back. Second, to answer your questions for anyone else interested in the answers: If you have straight brows, use common sense-no arches for you. Think Keira Knightly. She has thick and gorgeous straight brows. If your hairs are thin, you compensate by using a brow pencil. And again, common sense here---if your hairs are light, you need to use a blonde brow pencil. Go a shade or two darker than platinum blonde. If you have white hair, then opt for a gray colored pencil.

    but what if you've already f**ked it up and you want to know how to fix it. or what about if you have straight eyebrows. and really thin haired eyebrows. or really light eyebrows so you can't use a brow pencil??

    Trimming doesn't make them "bushy" but you will know when they need another trim as your shape will be rough
