Straight
The brow follows a relatively level path with limited vertical rise and a softer change of direction around its highest point.

The 3 Eyebrow Shapes
This eyebrow shape detector compares the visible contour of each brow separately. It classifies straight, arched, or angled shapes, then uses direction, peak position, length, thickness, and brow-to-eye distance to explain the result.
Arched
The contour rises and falls through a rounded curve, with the peak integrated into one continuous line.
Angled
The brow shows a clearer change of direction around the peak, creating more distinct rising and descending segments.
Measurement
Eyebrow Shape Measurements That Matter
An eyebrow shape analyzer needs more than arch height. KnowMyFace reads the contour path, arch strength, overall direction, peak position, visible length, thickness, and distance from the eye for the left and right brows.
Contour separates a gentle curve from a clearer directional break. Peak position shows where the highest point sits, while length and thickness describe the visible frame around the eye. The primary type is the closest overall match; it does not imply that both brows must fit one identical template.
Contour and arch
Distinguishes a level path, a rounded rise and fall, and a more defined directional break.
Direction and peak
Shows whether the brow rises, stays level, or descends and where its highest point appears.
Length, thickness, and placement
Explains the visible brow span, density of the frame, and space between brow and eye.
Comparison
Eyebrow Shapes Compared
Similar brow shapes can share the same height or thickness while differing in contour. Use the deciding feature below instead of judging the category from one peak.
| Easy to confuse | What they share | The deciding difference |
|---|---|---|
| Straight vs. Arched | Both can have a soft contour and moderate height. | Straight stays more level; arched shows a continuous rounded rise and fall. |
| Arched vs. Angled | Both have a visible high point. | Arched changes direction gradually; angled shows a clearer break around the peak. |
| Straight vs. Angled | Both can look defined or thick. | Straight keeps one dominant direction; angled has distinct rising and descending segments. |
| Left vs. Right Brow | Both belong to the same face and may share thickness. | Peak position, tail direction, height, or visible length can still differ by side. |
A mixed or side-specific result is normal. Expression, grooming, and natural left-to-right variation can make one brow read differently from the other.
Facial context
Eyebrow Shape, Eye Framing, and Facial Balance
Brow direction and peak position change the frame above the eye, but their effect depends on the visible eye shape, corner direction, and brow-to-eye distance underneath. Two arched brows can therefore create different impressions around two different eye contours.
KnowMyFace keeps left and right brow evidence separate rather than treating small differences as defects. Makeup, lamination, trimming, expression, and hair covering the tail can all change the contour shown in a photo, so the result describes the submitted image.
To turn the brow and eye evidence into optional placement ideas, explore personalized makeup recommendations for definition, softness, tail direction, and visual emphasis.
Go Beyond the Eyebrow Shape Label
The Complete Report keeps the type for each brow and adds the measurements behind it, then connects those results to eye shape and personalized makeup guidance.

FAQ
What else should you know about Eyebrow Shape Detector?
What eyebrow shape do I have?
Upload a clear front-facing photo and the eyebrow shape test will compare straight, arched, and angled contours for each brow. Read the type together with direction, peak, length, thickness, and brow-to-eye distance.
Can my left and right eyebrows have different shapes?
Yes. One brow may show a clearer arch or angle while the other reads straighter. The detector keeps the two results separate instead of averaging them into one label.
Will brow makeup or expression change the result?
It can. Pencil, pomade, lamination, concealer, raised brows, and a head tilt can change the visible contour. Use minimal makeup and a relaxed forehead for a natural baseline.
Does the eyebrow shape detector tell me where to pluck?
It can support general placement ideas, but it does not prescribe hair removal. Make gradual choices and preserve the contour and density you prefer.
