Arches can be high or low, gentle or sharp. The perfect eyebrow shape will depend on the person. An angled arch offers great contrast to a round face, whereas a square face might benefit from a more rounded eyebrow.
Your arch will generally look best if you work with the part of your eyebrow that’s naturally highest, taking out stray hairs beneath it to define the shape more clearly.
The usual position for an arch is about two thirds of the way along the eyebrow, towards the outer end. If your arch is more centered, try to avoid a very high, sharply defined arch, or you’ll just end up looking surprised.
You can taper your eyebrows, bringing them to a point at the ends. It’s a striking look, especially if your eyebrows are naturally thick, and Princess Ameerah pulls it off incredibly.
A tapered eyebrow will usually be roughly the same width from the center of the face to the eyebrow’s arch or highest point, then begin to narrow as the eyebrow dips again.
Try not to shorten your eyebrows. Having long eyebrows is an advantage that shouldn’t be thrown away. Just narrow them as they sweep out towards the outer edges.
Tapered eyebrows can be combined with a defined arch for a more dramatic look.
Eyebrow grooming doesn’t have to be complicated. If you’re not sure which of the brow shapes to go for, you can save time by keeping your eyebrows the way they naturally fall, just trimming stray hairs at the edges or between the brows.
If your eyebrows aren’t naturally arched, it’s easy to accidentally thin them out too much while trying to carve an arch into them. You might find it easiest to embrace your straight eyebrow and make it work for you.
A trimmer with length settings will let you trim your eyebrow hairs to an even length, if that’s all you need, and it’ll also let you switch to a hair removal setting if you decide to try more serious shaping.
