Choosing the Best Eyebrow Tattoo for Your Face Shape

Despite their size, eyebrows play a really important role in the overall appearance of our faces. Well-crafted eyebrows will enhance your facial features, but if they’re not shaped correctly, you can battle to get your desired look no matter what you do! Getting an eyebrow tattoo will ensure you have the ideal eyebrow for your face shape every day of the week, with minimal effort. 

What are the Eyebrow Tattoo Options?

Modern aesthetic treatments are incredibly advanced, and there is a wide range of options for you to consider. If you’re looking to get your eyebrows done for a long-term period, then these are the three permanent eyebrow tattoos you will most likely be considering. 

Ombre Brows

You might have come across the phrase Powder Brows which are also known as Ombre Brows depending on where you visit. This form of permanent makeup is achieved with a needle and semi-permanent tattoo ink. The technician will apply thousands of little dots that work to create a powdery eyebrow effect that mimics the appearance of makeup. It’s a great option if you have textured, thick or oily skin. 

Nano Brows

This is another permanent eyebrow tattoo option that is gaining significant popularity as it’s less painful than microblading while being quite similar in appearance. You might also have heard of nanoblading or hairstroke brow, and the look is achieved using a digital tattoo machine and a single needle. 

Microblading

This was one of the original eyebrow tattoo options that uses a small handheld blade to create fine lines of ink. While microblading is still in practice, it’s quickly being overtaken by Ombre and Nano Brows which are a lot less painful and create a more natural finished look. 

What are the Best Tattoos for Different Face Shapes?

It’s best to consult with an aesthetician about which eyebrow shape will best suit your face, but it’s always good going in with some idea of what will work best. 

Round Face Shape

This is where you have a face that is equally long as it is wide, with no significant angles and a more rounded chin. You’re going to want to make your face appear a bit longer with your eyebrow tattoo to minimize this roundness. To achieve this, you can consider eyebrows with a high arch but avoid anything with a circular shape. A structured brow with slanted arches angled downwards will give your face more depth. You can even look at increasing the length of your brows just a few millimeters to further slim down the face. In terms of color, the beginning of your eyebrow arch should be a bit darker as this will make your face appear longer. 

Square Face Shape

If you have a square face then it is almost as wide as it is long – with your jaw and forehead the same distance apart – and you will have a much stronger jawline than with a round face. Because your face is more angular and defined, you will want to soften the overall look with a gentle eyebrow that is tattooed to appear rounder. For a more feminine look, you can have a circular or gentle arch with modest thickness to soften your already striking facial features. Too rounded an eyebrow won’t suit your natural facial contours while a flat brow will enhance the squareness of your face. 

Rectangle Face Shape

While the width of your hairline and jawline are even – as with a square face shape – your face is longer than it is wide, and your chin has very little curve. You’re going to want to avoid arched eyebrows as these enhance the appearance of facial length. Rather opt for an eyebrow shape that is flat with a tiny downward curve to make your face appear rounder. Your eyebrows should be positioned perpendicular to the corner of your eyes to give you more dimension and draw attention to the center of your face. 

Oval Face Shape

With this particular face shape, the length is about 1.5 times more than the width, with a more rounded jawline, giving the impression of an egg. You will want to go with a more classic eyebrow shape – full with a slight arch – with the tail slightly longer and angled downwards. If you have a higher forehead, fuller lips, or bigger eyes, then go with thicker brows so that your features are in harmony. Avoid going with too angular a shape but rather maintain a gentle tone to mirror your facial features. 

Heart Face Shape

This is where the hairline is wider with a more pointed chin replicating a heart. For this particular face shape, you’re going to want a softer eyebrow arch with a gentle curve rounded at the top and the tail tapered for a softer look. If you have a shorter heart-shaped face then you might want a sharper arch, but just make sure you have the appropriate brows to make the forehead appear smaller while softening the appearance of the chin. 

Diamond Face Shape

For this face shape, the widest part is your cheekbones with quite a pointed chin and forehead. The best eyebrow tattoo for this shape is a curved or rounded option that will make your face appear less wide and tone down your more prominent facial characteristics. You must avoid high arches with a diamond-shaped face as this might make your face appear even longer.
