How To Do Your Brows On An Oblong Face

Correctly identifying your face shape is the first step to nailing your perfect eyebrow shape. Oblong faces are characterized by being longer than they are wide and typically having a uniform width over the entire face. The easiest approach to determining your facial shape, according to All About Vision, is to simply measure your face. Start by taking a measurement of the width of your jaw, cheekbones, and forehead. Additionally, you'll need to measure the complete length of your face. You have an oblong face shape if the length of your face is the biggest measurement.

If you don't know where to start, look for someone who has an oblong face to take inspiration from. Celebrities are usually a great reference point, as they almost certainly get their brows done by the best of the best in the industry. Some well-known celebrities with oblong faces to check out are Liv Tyler, Kelly Rowland, and Iman.

On an oblong face, you'll want to add width instead of accentuating its length. According to The Brow Fixx, that can be achieved by doing a soft or a straight arched brow shape. Don't overpluck your eyebrows, as their thickness will add to the broadness of your forehead. Nilam Holmes, brow expert and founder of Eyebrow Queen, explained to Glamour, "If you have a long face, you don't want an arched or high-set brow, as it will make the face look longer."
