Eyebrow geometry – the foundation of perfect styling

The key to stunning brow styling is not only the color – the shape of the brows plays an incredibly important role. Brow geometry is a process that allows you to determine the ideal shape and proportions tailored to the client’s facial features.

Why is brow geometry so important?

• Symmetry – Brow geometry helps correct disproportions, for example when one brow sits visibly lower than the other.

• Precise tinting – Henna or dye enhances the brow shape and also stains the skin, which is why precise product application is so important.

• The perfect base for henna – Creating a geometric outline makes shaping and tinting your client’s brows much easier.

How to perform brow geometry step by step using mapping thread?

1. Mark a vertical line at the center of the nose.
2. Define the lower brow line and the starting point of the brow by aligning the thread from the side of the nostril.
3. Mark the tail of the brow by drawing a line from the side of the nostril through the outer corner of the eye.
4. To find the apex (the highest point), place the thread at the side of the nostril and guide it through the center of the pupil – this straight line will indicate the brow arch peak.
5. Based on the intersections of the lines you have drawn, create the final outline of your client’s brow shape.

Lash Tip: “If you ever run out of mapping thread or you’re waiting for a delivery, you can color a regular thread with a brow pencil. It won’t give the same results as professional mapping thread, but in emergency situations it will save your initial outline.” – Noble Lashes Stylist
