Let’s face it, when it comes to eyebrows they can either make or break your entire look. But with so many options–thick, thin, arched, straight–how do you know which brow is right for YOU? We talked with owner of Browhaus salon, Cynthia Chua, to find out just how to get the perfect brow for your face shape.

Bigger is better when it comes to square faces like Demi Moore’s. Chua recommends a thick brow for this face shape, which is best achieved by waxing or threading. It gives a more natural brow shape as it removes the hair strands in a row, ensuring the result is natural and neat but not overly defined, she says.

Since square faces already have a strong appearance, it’s best to make your brows complement your face instead of contrasting with it, like Katie Holmes. Chua advises to align the peak of the brow with the widest angle of the jaw to balance out the strong jaw line.

For those with a round face like Fergie, Chua recommends an arched eyebrow to create a more oval look. The high peak opens the eyes vertically to elongate the face.

Tweezing is the best bet when trying to create that high arched look for a round face like Emma Watson’s. “(It) is the better option if you are after a more sculptured look; it offers a more precise finish by removing hair strands individually,” says Chua.

For long faces like Sarah Jessica Parker’s, Chua recommends flat, straight eyebrows.

To go along with those flat brows, Chua suggests a low arch for people like Jenny McCarthy who have a longer face because it helps open up their face sideways.

Reese Witherspoon has the perfect brows for those with a heart-shaped face: a round arch to help soften her pointed chin, says Chua.

Chua recommends grooming once every three weeks, or when hairs start to show for natural-looking and well-maintained brows like Kim Kardashian’s.

Have an oval shaped face like Cameron Diaz? You’re in luck! Chua says that oval faces can handle most brow types. Because of the proportionate shape, it’s easy to pull off a variety of shapes.

For DIY tweezing on an oval face like Jessica Biel’s, Chua recommends doing so right after a warm shower. Your pores are open and your hair strands are softened by the head and humidity making the hair-removing process easier.
