It’s 2017, so
it’s probably safe to say that you know thick eyebrows are on trend.
Yep, gone are the days of over-plucking and drawing on brows with eyeliner.
These days, it’s all about finding the perfect brow shape to complement
your face shape. That’s right, the extremely angular brows you see all
over your social media feed might not be what suits your face shape
best. In fact, different brow shapes will look better on different face
shapes. And shaping and filling in your brows based on your face can
help flatter your face and disguise any sparse areas. We’ve already
shared the right way to contour for every face shape and how to apply blush according to your face shape, and now we’re breaking down the right brow shape for every face shape, below. Keep reading to find yours!

The Perfect Brow Shape for Round Faces
If your face is circular, with plump
cheeks and a soft jawline, then you have a round face shape. An angular
brow shape can help balance out the fullness of your face. Creating
strong lines can help counteract softness and a lack of definition,
giving the appearance of more defined bone structure.
The Perfect Brow Shape for Oval Faces
When it comes to having an oval face
shape, the world is practically your oyster. As the most balanced face
shape, the rules rarely apply. You’ll find almost any brow shape will
complement your face shape. Since having too many options can be
overwhelming, try accentuating your symmetrical shape even more with a
soft angle.
The Perfect Brow Shape for Square Faces
While square face shapes may not quite
look like a cube, the resemblance should be clear. When working on
coordinating your brow shape with your face shape, take a moment to
remember this oft-stated piece of wisdom: Opposites attract. Pairing a
rounded brow shape with a prominent, angular jaw can help soften your
features.

The Perfect Brow Shape for Heart Faces
Despite being blessed with sharp
cheekbones (seriously, jealousy-inducing), when you have a heart-shaped
face, there’s still work for your brows to do. Choose a controlled shape
with a high arch. By adding height to your brows, you can lengthen the
look of a shorter jaw.
The Perfect Brow Shape for Diamond Faces
Think of what you know about diamonds.
Sure, they're shiny and expensive, but they’re also known for their cut.
The harsh edges and facets on your favorite jewels are exactly what
makes them comparable to a diamond face shape. With a pointed chin and a
narrow hairline, this face shape is marked by harsh features that can
be softened with curves. Follow the natural curve of your brow bones to
make wide cheekbones appear narrower.
The Perfect Brow Shape for Long Faces
Looking long in the face may be
associated with sadness, but with the right brows, there’s no reason to
tear up. Keeping your brows horizontal will help stop the eye from
traveling downwards, thus making your face seem shorter. You’re not done
yet! Extend the tails of your brows straight to the side, which can add
visual width to your face.

How to Fill in Your Eyebrows
Now that you know the best way to
balance your face shape with your brows, you’ll need to pick a product
for filling them in—and learn how to use it.
If you’re partial to a pencil…
start with clean, brushed brows. Use the L’Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Shape & Fill Mechanical Pencil to outline for precise lines. Shade with the flat side for even coverage and define the tail using the tip.

If you’re partial to a pomade…
dip a brush into the L’Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Frame & Set,
then outline the brow and define the arch. Draw in brow hairs in sparse
areas, filling in to your desired intensity. Comb and blend with the
included spoolie to style your final look.
