Previous studies have described the ideal shape of the aesthetic brow. These studies were based on fashion models, who typically have ideal oval faces. In people with different facial shapes, makeup artists modify brow shape to give the illusion of an oval shape. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the classically described ideal brow to the modified brow for each facial shape.
The faces of five models were morphed into round, square, oval, and long facial shapes. The eyebrows were digitally removed. A makeup artist drew the brows specifically for each facial shape. In a second set of prints, the brow shape was based on the previously published criteria. Seventy-eight people were asked which face they believed was more aesthetic.
There was no significant difference between the classic and the modified eyebrow in the oval or round facial shapes. In the square and long facial shapes, the modified brow was found to be more attractive in 62.7 percent and 58.7 percent of the subjects, which is statistically significant (p < 0.05).
The ideal brow may differ from the classic description when applied to the long or square face. In long faces, a flatter brow may give the illusion of fullness. In the square face, an accentuated lateral curvature may help soften the angles of the face. It may be difficult to achieve these modifications surgically, but it is important to be aware of the effect that brow shape has on facial shape.
先前的研究描述了美学眉毛的理想形状。这些研究基于时尚模特，她们通常拥有理想的椭圆形脸。对于不同脸型的人，化妆师会修改眉毛形状以营造出椭圆形的错觉。本研究的目的是比较经典描述的理想眉形与针对每种脸型修改后的眉形。
将五名模特的脸变形为圆形、方形、椭圆形和长脸形。通过数字技术去除眉毛。一位化妆师针对每种脸型专门绘制眉毛。在另一组图片中，眉形基于先前公布的标准。78人被问及他们认为哪种脸更具美感。
在椭圆形或圆形脸型中，经典眉形和修改后的眉形之间没有显著差异。在方形和长脸型中，62.7%和58.7%的受试者认为修改后的眉形更具吸引力，这具有统计学意义（p < 0.05）。
当应用于长脸或方脸时，理想眉形可能与经典描述有所不同。在长脸中，较平的眉形可能会营造出饱满的错觉。在方脸中，突出的外侧弯曲可能有助于柔化脸部的角度。通过手术实现这些修改可能很困难，但了解眉形对脸型的影响很重要。
