Having an eyebrow horror story must be a rite of passage, right? Everyone has at least one incident that they can recall. Mine was over-plucking one of my eyebrows in one of those terrifying magnifying mirrors. It was only when I came up for air that I noticed I’d preened my left eyebrow into a tadpole. They say that eyebrows should be sisters and not twins, but mine were not even related at that point.
It’s safe to say that I wish I had stayed with my eyebrow technician to avoid this mishap, but thankfully, it’s easier than ever to choose a brow shape that will suit you. Whether you prefer a natural, fluffy eyebrow or a perfectly defined arch, getting your eyebrow shape right can make or break your look. If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then the eyebrows are the curtains that frame them. So getting them right can totally enhance your look by opening up your eyes and even saving you time in the mornings with less brow filling needed.
Ahead, brow expert and CEO of Rubis Tweezers Fides Baldesberger shares the best eyebrow shapes for each decade, as well as the best tips and products for beautiful brows—zero tadpoles here.
