From eyebrow shape basics to how you can draw eyebrows yourself, get ready to be inspired and find the ideal eyebrows that work best for you.
How to Identify a Heart-Shaped Face
How do you know if you have a heart-shaped face? Take a look at your eyebrows, because heart-shaped faces often have eyebrows that are arched, full, and downturned at the ends. Whether they’re symmetrical or asymmetrical, they’ll typically be the same width and follow a similar pattern when compared side by side. Heart-shaped faces are also widest at the forehead and cheekbones, narrowing to a more pointed chin. So, what are some of the best eyebrow shapes for a heart-shaped face?
6 Eyebrow Shapes for a Heart-Shaped Face
Rounded Eyebrows
Eyebrows are vital to creating balance and symmetry. The most flattering eyebrows for this face shape should be stronger at the arch and slightly rounded along the edges rather than straight or angular. This helps to create a “heart”, which enhances and emphasises your facial contours. Rounded eyebrows also provide softer lines and focus more attention on your eyes.
Trimmed Tail
If you’re looking for an edgy but striking look, consider the trimmed tail design which is perfect for making a bold statement. This contemporary look sees your eyebrows still arched above your eyes, but with shaved tipping or curving underneath to make them appear thicker and emphasise your facial features.
Low Arcs
Other eyebrow shapes that are perfect for a heart shaped face are low arcs. However, if you create too high an arc, or put in sharp curves, your forehead will be too exposed, and it won’t look quite right. Instead, opt for eyebrows with lower arcs and softer lines to complement your features.
Ascending Lines
Flattering eyebrows to accentuate your face shape are those with ascending lines to draw attention to your eyes and cheeks. To achieve this look, start with a line at the same level of your eyebrows but slightly extending in the direction of the arch you want. Be careful not to raise it too high as too much of an arc or sharp curve can detract from your overall look.
Subtle Arches
Aim for eyebrows that are subtly structured and evenly groomed, but don’t overdo it. If you have a heart-shaped face, eyebrows with medium growth make the most impact as they balance out your facial structure without dominating it. A delicate arch and natural shape can frame your facial features beautifully – when done correctly, subtle arches make all the difference.
Thick Rounded Eyebrows
Thick eyebrows are the perfect way to frame a heart-shaped face. This classic look frames the cheeks and chin, making it one of the most flattering face shapes. Not only can eyebrows provide balance and proportion, as round eyebrows make a heart shaped face appear less wide and narrow, but they can also create definition. Go for bold, full eyebrows to keep your facial features in perfect harmony.
