How to Map Your Eyebrows (Start, Arch, and End Points)

Quick answer: To map your eyebrows, use three guide points: the brow should start directly above the inner corner of your eye, arch above the outer edge of your iris when you look straight ahead, and end along a diagonal line from your nostril past the outer corner of your eye. These three points give you a balanced, flattering shape on both sides.

The 3 eyebrow mapping points

• Start: hold a pencil vertically against your nostril to your inner eye — that's where the brow begins.
• Arch: angle the pencil from your nostril across the outer edge of your iris — that's your highest point.
• End: angle the pencil from your nostril past the outer corner of your eye — that's where the brow tail stops.

Why mapping matters

Mapping keeps both brows aligned so they look balanced. Once you know your points, a stencil makes it effortless — you place the shape between your start and end marks and stamp. See how to get symmetrical eyebrows and the best shape for your face.

Frequently asked questions

Where should eyebrows start and end?

Start above the inner eye corner, arch above the outer iris, and end on a diagonal from your nostril past the outer eye corner.

How far apart should eyebrows be?

About one eye-width apart — roughly the width of your nose bridge between the two brow fronts.

Do you need to map both eyebrows?

Yes, using the same reference points on each side keeps them even; a stencil then locks the shape in.
