Eyebrow tinting may be a simple, quick method to further define brows, make them sharper. But the best brow shape and color can also be best suited for your eye shape. Other-shaped eyes need to be tinted differently so that they look most natural as well as in harmony with the eye itself.
We at Grace & Glamour believe that the perfect tint has nothing to do with coloring—everything to do with getting your eyebrows shaped for the most usage with your facial features. Let’s take a closer look at the best types of brow tints for each of these eye shapes so that you’re left looking more balanced and beautiful than ever.
- Almond-Shaped Eyes: The Versatile Beauty
Almond eyes are going to be the most symmetrical and balanced of any eye shape, so you have a great deal of leeway here with eyebrows. You can have a light arch that starts near the inner border of your eye, then curves outward to the top at the outer corner, and slowly unwinds. To achieve an easy to maintain low-maintenance shape, simply trace back to your shape and instruct you just to add color. Light to medium brown is ideal as this will add definition but not create dramatic brows. 2. Round Eyes: Creating Definition
Round eyes are softly curved with typically an easily noticeable eyelid crease. For balance, your eyebrows would be more arch-like and slope even further towards the temples. This would give the eye a longer, more narrow appearance. Darker to medium brown color will work best in adding depth without creating an over-sized look on the eyes. Thick eyebrows would lower round eyes.
- Hooded Eyes: Lifting the Look
Hooded eyes have an overlapping fold at the top of the eyelid alone, and hence eyes appear small. To give the appearance of bigger hooded eyes, the technique is to lift the brows by employing a stronger, higher arch. Added a darker shade will define and make eyes appear wider and expressive.
- Upturned Eyes: Keeping It Natural
Upside-down eyes will, of course, require to be lifted slightly on the outside rim to achieve the cat-eye effect. Counteract this by having the brow arch glide over the contour of the eye and peak softly in the direction of the outside rim. Swooping brows are to be avoided because they will cause the brows to be too pointed. Natural brown color is ideal to use to achieve depth in this classic shape without overdoing it.
- Downturned Eyes: Lifting and Brightening
The downturned eyes will only slope downwards at the outer corner, and sometimes even impart a tired or sad look. The aim is to create a higher arch closer to the tip of the brow so that it will help in lifting the face. Even a lighter color makeup can be employed in an attempt to avoid the downward tilt and create a more youthful and even look for the eyes.
- Deep-Set Eyes: Natural and Soft
Deep-set eyes are deeper in the socket and therefore seem smaller. The problem with deep-set eyes brows is keeping the brows thin but not too thin. The ideal shape of the brows for deep-set eyes is a softer, straighter shape, and light to medium brown would be a suitable color without overpowering the eyes.
- Wide-Set Eyes: Balancing
Wide-set eyes give a greater distance between the eyes, and hence the brows are a significant balancing facial feature. Here, a more full and defined brow is needed. Dark brown color will emphasize the brows, and it will put the light in the center of the face and make the face well balanced.
- Monolid Eyes: Defining Features
Monolid eyes don’t have a crease, so the brow shapes them. The most flattering brow is one that’s ever so slightly straightened with a hint of arch. Brow the brows in medium to dark shade will add definition and a structured, elegant appearance.
