Your brows are essential to framing your face and have the transformative power to make a significant difference to your look. However, it’s important to understand that there’s no general brow shape that will suit everyone. The fact is, brows should be shaped and customized according to each person’s bone structure with the aim of balancing their facial features. Let’s look at the important basics of brow shaping.
If you have a round face characterized by similar facial width and length, your brow goal should be to lengthen your face. High-arched brows will help elongate your face and lift your eye area.
People with oval-shaped faces tend to have slightly wider foreheads and high cheekbones. You can strategically use your brow shape to help balance out your facial features. The good news is oval-shaped faces can pull off almost any brow shape! You can go for a slight arch to add a bit of dimension to your face without offsetting the balance of your natural features too much.
If your forehead is wider and you have a sharper chin, you have a heart-shaped face. In this case, you can soften the angular areas of your face with a rounded brow characterized by just a slight curve. If you have a shorter face, you may adopt a slightly higher arch to add some depth, but otherwise, keep the arches low and rounded.
When your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline are all around the same width, you’re said to have a square-shaped face. In this case, you’ll want to highlight and draw attention to your eyes and brows. Slightly angled brows will be effective at softening the angular parts of your face.
Here at Revolution Lash Studio, we prefer waxing as the best method for brow shaping. Besides being pain-free, it’s also highly effective as a long-term hair removal solution that never fails to deliver safe and efficient results. Compared to shaving and plucking, which can damage your hair follicles and skin, waxing is a much safer alternative and its results will often last a few weeks longer.
Our brow artists are professionally trained and always able to deliver a quick, easy, and pain-free service, using effective techniques perfected over the years.
A successful brow-shaping experience begins with a detailed client consultation. This step is crucial, as it helps us understand your preferences while discussing potential shapes that will complement your facial features.
We’ll also ask about any previous brow treatments you have done, skin sensitivities, or allergies. Ensuring your skin is free of cuts, acne, or irritation in the brow area helps avoid complications, too.
Once our brow artist and you have decided on your best brow shape, we’ll measure your brows and map out which hairs should stay and which should be removed. Mapping is an extremely crucial step that we won’t rush through, as removing the wrong hairs can significantly affect your overall brow look.
After mapping out your brows, our brow artist will apply wax to the excess hairs to remove them. Don’t worry; the wax will not feel hot. It’ll simply feel warm but won’t make you feel any discomfort. Any excess wax is then removed.
To maintain your newly shaped brows, we advise you to avoid any form of facial scrubbing or heavy makeup around the brow area for at least 24 hours. This prevents irritation and infections.
Applying a soothing gel, such as aloe vera, can reduce redness and inflammation. It’s also crucial to avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds for a few days after treatment. This is because UV rays can harm the sensitive skin around the brows. If you’re heading outdoors, always apply sunscreen.
Well-maintained brows that complement your unique face shape will truly transform and define your look. With Revolution Lash Studio, you can rest assured that your brows will be in good hands.
