So step away from the tweezers, stow the brow pencil, and determine which brow category you fall into (there are five!) before going to town on those face framers. Below, our guide to everything eyebrow shapes, plus expert styling advice for each archetype. Also in the arched category, there’s a spectrum of sorts: You have soft arches, with just a slight lift at the peak (“It’s most popular right now,” says Alicia Halpin, esthetician and owner of Foundation Beauty & Esthetics). Then there’s your medium arch, which ups the intensity a bit, and, finally, your high arch with an aggressive peak up top. As for where they should peak, he notes, “Leaving the brush at the side of your nose, point it diagonally from your nostril to the outside edge of your iris: This is where your brows should arch.” And, finally, where the tails terminate: “Point your brush from the outside corner of your nose diagonally to the outside corner of your eye: This is where your brows should end,” Campo writes. After you have mapped out your goal brows, you can remove any stray hairs or fill in any gaps within your desired shape. Et voilà: professional-grade brows in a snap. Although, don’t be too crushed if they don’t look like an exact, symmetrical pair—as the popular saying goes, your brows are sisters, not twins.
