Finding the perfect eyebrow shape can be tricky but once you achieve the look, you can manipulate it to play up your best features. We consulted with European Wax Center’s brow expert Melanie Gilliland to find out what it takes to get the perfect brow for your face shape (and how to score the your best brows ever for free at Her Campus’ exclusive European Wax Center event!).
If you have a round face…
An angled brow will help create balance making the face appear less round,” says Gilliland. Tweeze further up into the browline over the outer corners of your eyes for the ultimate angling effect.
If you have dainty features…
You want dainty brows because a bold brow could potentially overpower your face,” explains Gillliland. Keep the brows thinner and don’t fill in with darker brow powder; the Lily Collins look will just leave you looking like Bert and Ernie.
If you have bold features…
“Your brows are the main attraction,” says Gilliland, “not a supporting role. Similar tricks may also be used to manipulate the width of the eyes and nose, the length or width of the face, and you can even open up the eye area creating a more youthful look overall.”
“Brows are the most underrated facial feature,” says Melanie. “People put so much time and attention into their eyes and lips, all along forgetting the impact that their brows have” and lucky for you, Her Campus UC Berkeley and the European Wax Center will be hosting a “Brow Hour” event, where you’ll be treated to a complimentary brow wax, amazing raffle prizes, tasty mocktails and some sweet treats! Don’t forget to RSVP here! See you there, collegiettes!
