The Magic of Brows, How Brows Can Enhance your Eyes and Change your Face

Having the right eyebrow design and placement cannot just enhance the eyes but is magical in the way it can dramatically change the appearance of the entire face. Eyebrows are the most underestimated facial feature, yet with increasing trends, beauty procedures, and techniques such as tattoo, tinting, and lamination, eyebrows are becoming increasingly fashionable. 

For years, society has marked celebrities and models such as Cara Delevingne, Brooke Shields, Madonna, and Drew Barrymore as eyebrow trendsetters, for their striking, thick, bushy, high-arched, or thinly-plucked brows.

Experts might argue that eyebrows only have two main purposes: keeping moisture out of our eyes and communication. But, here at Feather & Blade, we say that eyebrows have the power to accentuate your eyes and shape your face!

During your cosmetic tattoo appointment, our artists work to create a shape, color and size brow that will best suit you. By using precise measurements and brow mapping, we can make your face look longer by raising the tail of your brows, slim your jawline by lengthening the eyebrows, make your eyes appear closer or farther apart by adjusting the eyebrow location, use fuller brows to make your face appear smaller, and use rounded brows to make your face look rounder. The list is endless for how many small tweaks you can make to your eyebrows that will leave you with major facial changes!

It begins with studying unique facial features to accurately choose which eyebrow shape best fits someone’s beautifully unique face. There are six main eye shapes: round, almond, monolid, hooded, upturned, and downturned. From there, eyebrow mapping determines close-set eyes, proportioned eyes, or wide-set eyes. Each eye shape has a correlating eyebrow design that compliments the shape, for example, high-arched eyebrows are best for downturned eyes and round eyes as the arch in the brow cause a lift and highlight to the face.

Finding someone you can trust to take care of your eyebrows and enhance your beautiful features is worth its weight in gold. That is why it is essential to find your perfect magician: your eyebrow gal!
