With the increasing usage of makeup products by women, makeup artists have managed to find a way to take it a step further. The new trend is to slightly modify the shape of eyebrows to subtly enhance the look. And before we knew it, people were rushing to salons in New York for brow shaping. However, when the artists asked them which shape they wanted, most of them were clueless. There are so many to select from! And to make things difficult, you don’t know which one goes perfectly with the structure of your face! Worry not. Help is here.

Here are the top 5 shapes to select from.

Arch in the middle

In case you see your brows arching naturally towards the center than at the ends, you can ask a salon pro to make it even more profound. This will be done by a simple clean up, with tweezers, of stray hair under the highest part of your arch. Make sure that they don’t create a peak, as it could result in the dreaded "constantly surprised" look.

High arches

For a celebrity-like, picture perfect look, try getting high arches. This goes way above your brow bone, giving a more defined and dramatic look to your face. But make sure that the arch is towards the tail and NOT towards the center.

Rounded

Your brow should not always have an angular arch. A softly rounded brow looks amazing if you have a sharp face, angled face. For example, take a look at Jennifer Aniston. She has sharp features, which are beautifully complemented by round, fluffy brows to soften the face.

Straight

Unlike popular belief, you don’t necessarily have to create an arch if your brow doesn’t naturally have one. Who hasn’t seen Kristen Stewart? Her brows are straight and they look absolutely stunning. The advantage here is that you do not have to be particular about the width. For thicker brows, make sure you keep them brushed with a spoolie to get a polished look.

S-shaped

The S-shaped brow is fairly uncommon, yet nobody can deny that it looks attractive. It goes slightly up in the center and then dips down softly before rising again into an arch. Note that the first rise doesn’t result in the formation of an arch. If you have a naturally S-shaped eyebrow, be sure to get it done more profoundly by a salon pro. They would use makeup to give it a more polished look.

Hope this helps. It’s important to note that you shouldn’t try it at home, yourself, for you might end up de shaping the entire brow. Find an established salon that provides the services of brow shaping New York and tell them what you want!
