The Art of Balance: Where Your Eyebrows Should Begin (Part 1)

Eyebrows frame the eyes and play a major role in how balanced your face looks. One of the simplest yet most overlooked details is how far apart your brows are above the nose. When the spacing is just right, it opens the eyes and softens the entire expression.

So, how do you find the ideal starting point?

A classic guideline is to take a straight object, like a thin makeup brush or pencil, and hold it vertically along the side of your nose. Where it meets your brow is where the brow should begin. This works for most face shapes because it aligns with your natural bone structure.

However, spacing can be slightly adjusted depending on your features. Brows that start too far apart can make the nose appear wider and leave the eyes looking less defined. Brows that start too close can feel heavy and create a harsh or stern look.

The goal is to create balance. When the inner edges of the brows are correctly placed, they naturally lift and frame the eyes without drawing too much attention to the bridge of the nose.

If you’re unsure, step back from the mirror and look at the overall harmony of your face. Well-spaced brows should make your eyes look bright and open, and your face feel instantly more balanced.

In Part 2, we’ll talk about an easy way to make your brows look naturally fuller—without heavy makeup.
