Bone Structure and Brow Mapping for a More Youthful Look
“When mapping brows, it is not enough to concentrate just on the surface, for the most natural brow shape and placement one has to consider the bone structure too.”
Many artists initially learn just the basic methods for mapping eyebrows. On Holistic PMU platforms, we offer more specific and thorough advice grounded in suggestions from aesthetic surgeons. This focuses on considering the client's bone structure to achieve the most natural brow shape and placement.
Tips for Better Brow Mapping:
Counterbalance the Brow Ridge: Always look at the brow mapping from the side and consider the brow ridge's prominence. The shape of the upper arch should balance the brow ridge, also known as the supraorbital ridge. If you rely only on standard methods, you could create unwanted changes in facial expressions.
Adjust to the Forehead Bone Shape: Every forehead is unique in curvature and "height." While determining brow dimensions like thickness, height, and arch shape, analyze how a thicker and more angular brow with a higher arch could make the forehead appear shorter and vice versa. Finding the perfect proportion is key.
Follow the Orbital Bone for Larger Eyes: For a natural look, aim to make the eyes appear larger by lifting the brows at a higher endpoint (without raising the brow head height). Also, it's crucial to understand and follow the shape of the orbital bone.
Consider Eye Socket Distance: Be cautious with the starting point of the brows if the client's eyes are close together. Following standard measurements can make the eyes look even closer, mainly if the distance between them is less than one eye's width.
Balance with the Jawbone Structure: For wider or rounded face shapes, opt for straighter and slightly more angular brow shapes. Aim for a softer brow shape if the jaw is sharper or more triangular.
These are basic guidelines. For a deeper understanding, consult Holistic PMU platforms.
