7 different paper drawing methods for eyebrow shapes

Thrush is a key step in enhancing facial three dimensionality in makeup, and mastering paper exercises for different eyebrow shapes can help accurately shape them. The common eyebrow shapes mainly include standard eyebrows, straight eyebrows, high eyebrows, crescent eyebrows, sword eyebrows, willow leaf eyebrows, and wild eyebrows. The curvature, thickness, and peak position of each eyebrow shape vary.

1. Standard Eyebrow

Standard eyebrows are suitable for most face shapes, with the brow peak located directly above the outer edge of the eyeball and the eyebrow tip slightly higher than the brow. When practicing on paper, first mark the three points of eyebrows, brow peaks, and eyebrow tails. Start drawing lightly on the eyebrows, slightly thicken the brow peaks, and then naturally transition to the eyebrow tails. Pay attention to smooth overall lines and avoid abrupt turns.

2. Flat straight eyebrows

Flat straight eyebrows have no obvious eyebrow peaks and are generally horizontal, suitable for long face shapes. During practice, maintain the same thickness from the brow to the end of the eyebrow and connect the two ends with a straight line. You can first use a ruler to assist in drawing the baseline, and then fine tune the edge softness. Note that the eyebrow tip should not be too long to avoid appearing dull.

3. High eyebrows

High eyebrows have sharp and backward brow peaks, which can elongate the facial proportions. On paper, it is important to focus on practicing the inflection of the brow peak, gently sweeping from the brow to the outer edge of the pupil and quickly lifting it up, with the tail of the eyebrow becoming slender and drooping. Suggest using dashed lines to locate the curvature first, and then filling in the lines to ensure symmetry on both sides.

4. Curved Moon Eyebrow

Curved Moon Eyebrow has an overall circular arc shape, with a rounded and forward brow peak, suitable for square faces. When practicing, draw a semi-circular arc starting from the brow and bring the end of the brow back to be level with the brow. Pay attention to controlling the curvature to avoid excessive bending, and use coins to assist in tracing the edges to maintain uniform thickness.

5. Swordbrow

The tail of the sword eyebrow is sharp and upward, suitable for enhancing the sense of heroism. Paper exercises need to strengthen the eyebrow tail line, with a smooth transition from the brow to the brow peak and a rapid upward movement, with the eyebrow tail tip as thin as a sword. You can first draw an inverted V shape for positioning, and then decorate the edges and corners, paying attention to the height of the eyebrow peak not exceeding the position of the frontal bone.

6. Willow leaf eyebrows

Willow leaf eyebrows are slender and elongated, with a soft and posterior brow peak. Maintain a slender overall feel during practice, lightly lift the pen on the brow, slightly thicken the brow ridge, and naturally taper it. You can use a fine tipped pen to repeatedly draw smooth curves, avoiding pauses in the middle. The length of the eyebrow tail is about the extension line from the nose to the outer corner of the eye.

7. Wild eyebrows

Wild eyebrows pursue natural hair flow and need to simulate the direction of eyebrow growth. Practice on paper by drawing the main contour line first, and then adding short diagonal lines inside to express the sense of tufting. Pay attention to the staggered lines, with the eyebrows drawn upwards and the eyebrows extending diagonally downwards to avoid overly neat arrangement. When practicing on paper, you can first use a light colored pen as a base, confirm the proportion coordination, and then deepen the lines. It is recommended to observe the growth pattern of real eyebrows in daily life, and choose a suitable eyebrow template based on the face shape to repeatedly trace. In the early stages of practice, eyebrow clips can be used to assist in positioning. After becoming proficient, try to create freely, paying attention to maintaining a natural gradient effect of light eyebrows and deep eyebrows. Regular trimming of stray hair helps maintain the clarity of eyebrow shape, and using a spiral brush to comb the direction of hair flow before crossing can make the makeup more delicate.
