Choosing the right eyebrow shape is more important than you might think. It can highlight your best features and bring balance to your face. Whether your face is round, oval, square, heart-shaped, or long, there's a perfect brow shape for you.


In this guide, we'll show you how to find the perfect microblading eyebrow shapes to suit your face type, so you can achieve the flawless look you've always wanted. Let's get started.


What Is Your Face Type?


Determining your face shape is the first step to finding the perfect eyebrow volume and shape. To do this, start by measuring your face with a flexible tape measure or ruler. Measure the width of your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline.


Additionally, measure the length from your hairline to your chin. Analyzing these measurements helps you identify patterns and proportions, which are key to determining your face shape.


If your face's width and length are almost equal, you likely have a round face. This face type features soft, curved lines with a rounded jawline and cheeks that are the widest part of the face.


For those whose face length is about one and a half times the width, you have an oval face. This shape is characterized by a forehead that is slightly wider than the chin, with balanced proportions and a gently rounded jawline.

A square face is identified by having the width of the forehead, cheeks, and jawline roughly the same. This shape often includes a strong jawline and angular features.


If your forehead is wide and your face tapers down to a narrow, pointed chin, you have a heart-shaped face. This type often includes a widow's peak, with the cheeks being the widest part of the face.


Finally, for those with a significantly greater face length than width, you have a long face. This shape is narrow and elongated with a rounded jawline.


Eyebrow Shapes for Different Face Types


Choosing the right eyebrow shape can enhance your facial features and bring balance to your face. Let's explore the ideal microblading eyebrow shapes for each face type to help you achieve your best look.

Round Face


For a round face, the goal is to add definition and length, making the face appear more oval. Ideal eyebrow shapes for round faces are those with a high arch and an angular shape. A high, sharp arch creates vertical lines that draw the eye upward, elongating the face.


Angular shapes add structure and balance to the soft curves of a round face. You should avoid rounded eyebrow shapes as they can make the face appear even rounder.


Oval Face


Oval faces are balanced and symmetrical, with a slightly wider forehead and gently narrowing towards the chin. This face shape is considered the most versatile and can pull off various eyebrow shapes.


Softly arched eyebrows are particularly flattering, maintaining the natural balance of the face without overpowering it. Here, it's best to avoid overly dramatic shapes that might disrupt the harmony of your features.


Square Face


Square faces have a strong jawline, and the width of the forehead, cheeks, and jaw are roughly the same. The aim here is to soften the angularity of the face with gently curved brows.


Soft, rounded eyebrows with a slight arch can soften the strong features and create a more balanced look. If you have a square face, it's best to avoid having flat, straight eyebrows as they can make the face appear boxy.


Heart Face


Heart-shaped faces are widest at the forehead and taper down to a narrow chin, often with a widow's peak. The key, therefore, is to balance the wider forehead with the narrower chin.


Rounded brows with a low to medium arch work well, creating a natural look that balances the face. High-arched eyebrows should be avoided as they can make the forehead appear wider.


Long Face


Long faces are characterized by a longer vertical dimension and narrow width and the aim is to create an illusion of width to balance the length.


Flat, straight eyebrows are ideal for long faces because they break up the length and add width to the face. High arches can elongate the face even more, so they should be avoided.


Microblading for Perfect Eyebrows


As noted above, microblading is a semi-permanent makeup technique that uses fine, hair-like strokes to create natural-looking eyebrows tailored to your face type. Unlike traditional eyebrow shaping methods, microblading allows for precise customization to enhance your unique features.
