The eyebrows are one, if not the most essential part of your face. Perfectly sculpted brows enhance your features, especially your eyes, and frames your face. That is why many consider this an integral part of their makeup routine. However, as easy as it may seem, drawing on the perfect eyebrow shape is not easy, and it can take a lot of your time. As a result, procedures like eyebrow microblading in Singapore have become popular. By undergoing such a procedure, you can wear minimal makeup while still having perfectly shaped brows.

Although, before you get started with your microblading procedure, you need to know the eyebrow shape that will best suit your face shape. One eyebrow shape does not fit everyone; some shapes work better for some face structures more than others.

You can consult your permanent makeup artist (PMU) regarding what eyebrow shape will best benefit your face. If you want to assure the best results from your microblading procedure, there is no harm in doing some research yourself. To help you, here is a guide on finding the perfect eyebrow shape for your face.

To identify your face shape, you can draw an imaginary picture frame around your face. The top of the frame consists of your eyebrows, while the jawline serves as the bottom of the frame. The space between the temples and jawline is the frame’s side. Once you get an idea of your face structure, you can now move on choosing the perfect eyebrow shape for you.
