Diamond face, brow guide

Eyebrows for a diamond face

A diamond face has a narrow forehead and wide cheekbones, so the brow can add width at the top. A slightly longer brow with a soft angle does that.

A short brow leaves the forehead looking narrower and the cheekbones more prominent. Length and a gentle arch are the two useful adjustments.

The shortlist

What works, and where it sits

A diamond face needs width at the forehead. A slightly longer brow with a soft angle adds that width, while a short or highly arched brow removes it.

1
Soft angled arch
A gentle angle above the outer third of the eye adds structure without a sharp peak. It gives the narrow forehead a line to sit against.
2
Slightly longer brow
Extend the tail a little past the outer corner of the eye. The extra length widens the top of the face.
3
Medium thickness with a soft inner edge
Keep the brow full enough to be visible but soften the inner corner so it does not look blocky.
4
Balanced tail
A tail that tapers gradually and stays level keeps the brow from pulling the eye downward towards the cheekbone.

Less useful

None of these is a rule. They are the choices that tend to undo the balance the rest of the page builds.

A very high arch
It makes the forehead look narrower and the cheekbones sharper. A soft angle is enough.
A short brow
A brow that ends early leaves a wide gap at the temple, which makes the narrow forehead more obvious.

Questions

Should a diamond face have long brows?

A little longer than the natural brow, yes. The extra length adds width at the temple and balances the cheekbones.

What arch suits a diamond face?

A soft angle rather than a high peak. The aim is a line across the forehead, not a sharp point.

Are thick brows good for a diamond face?

Medium thickness works best. Very thick brows can make the forehead look even narrower.
