Now that you armed knowledge about your face shape, let's talk brows. Brows are basically the way to define your face and really give set the boundaries for eye make up. So, according to your face shape, here is how you shape your brows.

But what does this actually look like? Here is a more visual of the dos and don'ts of brow shape.

And lastly ladies, once your have the perfect shape, show it off! Brow powder is your friend. Say goodbye to the ole eye pencil and look for softer product like Brow Powder  or my favorite wax/powder combo. I live by this product and if I do nothing else, I do my brows and mascara!

Once I learned the importance of the brow, my make up changed forever!

Next week, we talk about haircuts that flatter your face shape!

Face Shape 101

Ever heard you should tailor your eyebrows and hair cut according to your face shape? Well, you're correct! But, how on earth do you know what your face shape is? Well, you can look at your face and then compare it to the diagram below.

Or you can get mathematical and do some quick measurements. I opted for the measuring since I tend to think I am oval, but could also be round.

So, you simply take a regular ruler (not a tape measure) and measure the entire length of your face from hairline to chin tip. (A) Now divide that number by 3 (B).

Next, measure from underneath your nose to the tip of your chin (C)

Results:
- If B is greater than C, then you either have a long or a square face.
- If B is less than C, then you either have a round face or a diamond face.
- If B an C are equal, or close, then you either have a heart shaped face or an oval face. If your chin is pointy, then you are heart shaped. If your chin is round then you have an oval shaped face

Pretty simple, huh? For a great tutorial, check out this video.
