While it's often said that brows frame the face, the shape of your eyebrows can also communicate personality characteristics that other people perceive, says an expert.
'Brows say so much about who you are without even uttering a word,' says DeeDee Marcelli, celebrity makeup artist to the Chella Skin Care brand.
With this in mind, Marcelli created brow stencils in the four shapes that women most gravitate toward - and as inspired by Old Hollywood glamour icons who vaulted into the public conscience the importance of a neatly groomed brow.
You may find your own shape among this grouping, or perhaps a template that inspires you!
Alluring - 'This brow draws you in. Beautifully sculpted, well proportioned and perfect in every way. This template reminds me of the Sophia Loren look - a bit exotic and a bit mysterious,' says Marcelli. The fullness of this brow would be nicely balanced by an equally sexy nude or soft pink lipcolor.
Sassy - 'To me, this brow shape is reminiscent of Jane Russell; a brow that is thicker in front with a short tail and says, Look at me, I'm unique, not shy, a little edgy and a little outrageous!' says Marcelli. Sassy brows add a lot of personality to the face, and can be a great complement to bangs.

Every girl strives for the perfectly arched, classically beautiful eyebrow, but what is considered the perfect brow?

Well those scary days are behind us and we can now look forward to naturally thick, borderline-bushy brows a la Brooke Shields or Denise Richards. Eyebrows play a large part in framing the face and thicker brows give an air of mysterious innocence and stern beauty. The best way to wear this new beauty trend is with minimal makeup, especially around the eyes, and let your brows take center stage. Ready to give it go yourself?
