Face Shapes and their Best Suitable Eye Brow Shaping

Now that you’ve understood which eyebrow shape will go well with your face shape, let us begin with different types of Eye Brow Shaping.

Different Ways to Shape Eyebrows

1. Eyebrow Threading

One of the most common ways to shape eyebrows is the threading method. We know that it might look difficult but we’ll show you a step-by-step tutorial on how to perfectly shape your eyebrows using a thread. Here are the steps:

• Take an 11-inch-long sewing thread and tie the ends together to form a loop.
• Insert your thumb and index finger in the loop and twist it 4 to 5 times. 
• Make sure the knot is on your fingers and not in the middle.
• Pinch the fingers of one hand and increase or decrease the distance of the fingers of the other end for the knot to shift its place.
• The sliding of the knot will help to remove the eyebrow hair. Make sure that you are not pulling the knot in the direction of your hair growth. 
• Place one hand above the brow and the other, below it. The hand below the brow will be used to move the thread.
• Place the hair you want to remove between the ‘v’ part of the loop and move your hand’s fingers below the brow. The knots will move toward the hair you want to remove, resulting in the removal of that hair.
• Do these steps patiently and precisely. If you rush through the process, you may hurt yourself.

2. Eyebrow Plucking Method

Here’s another method to shape your eyebrows at home. Despite this method not being popular, people prefer it over the twisted threading method. If you are applying lenses then check out these bridal eye lenses tips. To do the eyebrow-plucking method, you will need a tweezer and a scissor. Follow these steps to shape your eyebrows using the eyebrow-plucking method:

• Use your brow pencil and create a clear outline around your eyebrows.
• Tweeze the remaining strands that are outside the outline. Pluck them from their roots to avoid breakage. 
• Tweeze hairs from both the eyebrows at the same time to achieve symmetry.
• To avoid irritation, use aloe vera gel or an ice pack after you’re done with the tweezing.

3. Eyebrow Waxing Method

If you wish to ditch the traditional methods of eye brow shaping and switch to new methods then this method is the perfect solution. Using wax effectively can give you qualitative eyebrow shapes. Follow the steps mentioned below to achieve a perfect eyebrow shape using just wax, dusting powder, and lotion:

• Grease the skin around the eyebrows with lotion and talcum powder before starting the process.
• Heat the wax to 37 degrees and apply it to a small area for hair growth with a thin wooden stick. Press it with a finger to better fix the hairs.
• After a few seconds when the wax has settled down, attach a paper strip to it. Remember to hold the skin with the other hand.
• Ensure the paper strip is pressed smoothly and then remove the mass against the hair growth.
• Apply talcum powder to the skin to prevent irritation.

These are the three popular methods for eye brow shaping. There are other methods, like brow lamination, but they aren’t as popular as these. Now let us look at the popular eyebrow shapes.

Popular Eyebrow Shapes

1. Soft Arch Eyebrow Threading Shapes

This is one of the most popular and classic eyebrow shapes you will ever see. A gentle lift at the arch creates a subtle and beautiful elevation, suiting most of the face shapes. 

2. Straight Eye Brows

This brow shape is popular in East Asian countries. This eyebrow shape does not have any arches, exuding youth and innocence. Young people are a fan of this brow shape and people prefer this one to minimize their forehead length.

3. High Eyebrow Arch Shape

This eyebrow shape is for those who want to make a bold statement. The pronounced arch of this shape creates an open-eye effect. People with bold personalities generally prefer this eyebrow shape.

4. S-Shaped Brow

This unique shape is a combination of a soft arch and a straight brow. Smokey Eyes makeup will look better with this shape. The slight curve in this brow makes it neither too bold nor too dramatic. This versatile shape is perfect for those with unique features.

5. Feathered Brow a.k.a Natural Eyebrow Shapes

If you need a natural, ‘just woke up like this’ look, then we suggest you this eyebrow shape. It is perfect for those with fuller brows. 

6. Rounded Brow

The rounded brow doesn’t mean semi-circle in the literal sense, but rather a softer, more curved arch. People with sharp and angular facial features generally prefer this eyebrow shape.

These were some of the popular eyebrow shapes for you to try depending on your facial structures.
