Eyebrow Shapes Explained (Arched, Straight, Rounded)

Quick answer: The main eyebrow shapes are arched (adds lift and length, great for round faces), straight (adds width, softens long faces and looks youthful), rounded (soft and gentle, flatters square and heart faces), and S-shaped (a natural, modern curve). The best shape depends on your face shape and the look you want.

The common eyebrow shapes

• Arched: a clear peak that lifts the eyes — best for round faces and hooded eyes.
• Straight (flat): minimal arch; adds width and a youthful, K-beauty look — best for long faces.
• Rounded: a soft curve with no sharp peak — flatters square and heart faces.
• S-shaped: a subtle wave that follows the brow bone — natural and modern.
