All your need to do is troll the Instagram accounts of Australian Makeup Artists like @fernandohernasmua to realise that Beautiful Brows are on trends and here to stay.
Everyone wants the perfect brows, but it isn’t just a case of one-size (or shape) fits all. Does the shape of your face determine what brow shape looks best, and can one shape look better than another? The simple answer is,absolutely. That is why we always say, don’t be a slave to fashionand trends,just wear the best and most flattering shape to create your own superstar looks.
The first step is to establish which face shape you have, this will give you a clear understanding of the best shape that works for you. There are six main face shapes which we discuss below – we offer you pro tips to identify which shape you have, plus highlight which celebrities are a match as a visual guide to create the perfect brow look to compliment your face.
The perfect brow shape will balance your face to achieve a youthful, glamorous and harmonious look. If your brows are uneven or too thin it can make your face look puffy, tired and unbalanced.
Long Face
Usually has a high forehead, and tapers to a thin jaw and have narrow temples.
Celebrity: Liv Tyler, Sarah Jessica Parker
Goal: To make your face appear oval.
Brow For You: You want to envisage your face in 3 even sections, allowing your brow to be full and high into your forehead and follow your natural growth pattern and not be angular and make sure your tail is strong but not too thick for width.
We Recommend: For a prominent brow bone use ‘Taylor’ Brow Guide for smaller bone structure and ‘Kelly ‘ Brow Guide for larger bone structure.
Oval Face
Often considered the ideal face shape. Forehead is wider than the chin and you will have prominent cheekbones – you lucky thing!
Celebrity: Jessica Alba, Kendal Jenna
Goal: To frame your eyes andface shape.
Brow For You: The perfect eyebrow shape is widely considered to be the soft angled and uplifted. The soft angled shape means the brow is full and the same width until the brow starts turning towards the tail after the iris.
We Recommend: The Brow Guide ‘Monroe’ which is a perfect full arch, for a more petite face you could use ‘Kelly’ Brow Guide.
Heart Face
This is where the forehead and cheekbones are wide and the chin tapers to more of a point – like a heart. This is a soft and feminine face shape, which looks naturally beautiful.
Celebrity: Scarlet Johansson, Reese Witherspoon

Celebrity: Jennifer Lawrence, Selena Gomez

Brow For You: A high arched brow is the perfect look therefore your brow shape.It should follow a straight line to the highest point of the brow which creates more lift and opens the eye,plus make sure that the back of your tail is full.
We Recommend: With large eyes, full face and if you have natural fuller brows like Devine Delevingne use Monroe Brow Guide or if with less hair use ‘Kelly’ Brow guide.
Diamond Face
This is not as common as the other face shapes; it is typically angular with the face being the widest at the temples.
Celebrity: Rihanna, Taylor Swift
Goal: To soften the angles of your face at the widest portion of the face to appear slimmer.
Brow For You: A curved eyebrow will be perfect as it softens the look and makes the widest area of your face slimmer.

Mr Bond
Every leading man needs a Zoolander groomed brow. Yes, even our men can awaken their perfect brow within!! Men can go as natural as they want for their manscaping or as defined as they want be depending how metrosexual they want to be!
Celebrity: Adam Lambert or Chris Hemsworth
Brow for you: If going for the Adam Lambert, we recommend a series products from Pomade and Brow Gel, Scissors and Tweezers or if going for the Chris Hemsworth look Clear or Tinted gel due to sunbleaching and lightly tidy with tweezers and trim excess length to uplift and open your gentleman’s eyes.
We Recommend: For a defined Adam Lambert look ‘Monroe’ Brow Guide or Bond, However for a more natural shape ‘Bond’ Brow Guide.
Whatever your face shape, there is always a perfect look that will enhance your inner Superstar!
