The Anatomy of an Eyebrow

Eyebrows frame the face, and the best natural makeup looks start with a great brow. Wearing the right color and using the right product in the right place makes a brow look more finished and makes the face appear more balanced.

The head, arch and tail are the three primary points of an eyebrow. The best eyebrow shapes are the ones that create a sense of harmony between these points. That harmony can be achieved through brow mapping.

Brow Mapping

By understanding a basic brow map, you can style any brow. But what is brow mapping exactly, and how is it done? Start by using a Brow Pencil (or clean Makeup Artistry Brows Brush with Brow Powder) to measure proper alignment and identify the head, arch and tail of the brow.


A. Hold a brow brush straight up against the nose-nostril crease and mark where it hits the eyebrow using a brow pencil or brow powder (A). This is the front (head) of the brow.


B. The highest part of the brow is the arch. Align your brush with the mid-nostril and the outer iris. Make a mark at the eyebrow's high point (B).


C. Find the end (tail) by aligning the outer nostril with the outer eye corner and make a mark at the brow (C).


D. Confirm that the eyebrow shape has balance by making sure both ends (head and tail) align horizontally (D).
