Beyonce (Oval)
Ovals have a bit more freedom when it comes to brow shape, but the best shape is one that follows the browās natural line of the brow bone and is slightly thick, but well groomed. "Beyonce's are on the full side, which balances the amount of hair she has," says makeup artist Brett Freedman. "Full glam tresses need a more present brow to anchor them.ā
TRY THIS TOOL Itās best to see a professional when first shaping brows-then you can maintain the shape by tweezing at home with good angled tweezers. āAvoid needlepoint tweezers as you can easily injure yourself,ā says Anastasia Soare. āAnd very square tweezers can shear the hair versus plucking it out from the root, causing the appearance of an ingrown.ā

Kate Hudson (Round)
"The best brow for a round face shape is one that is as long as possible-the wider the brow, the more surface it covers, making the face appear more narrow," says Ramy. It should also be straight and not too curvy to downplay the roundness of the face. "Kate Hudson's look great on her face because the arch is correctly aligned with her brow bone and it's not too thick or too thin and is shaped in a straight line."
TRY THIS TOOL āBrow shaping brushes are available at nearly every drug or department store,ā says makeup artist Billy Lowe. "They are simple, disposable and are great for grooming." Brush the brows straight up and trim hairs that stick up past the brow line using small hair scissors. Brush the hair down and repeat the process.
