Does your girl have a straight brow? She has conventional preferences in bed

Thick brows are the new rage among celebs in the West, signifying a woman who is powerful and not to be messed with. iTALK examines the link between brow shape and personality, trends and quick style fixes

Eyebrow styles ride up and down faster than the Sensex, varying from thick to thin, often playing a vital role in expressing emotions and defining the shape of your face. The "umbrellas for your eyes" are arched to help keep vision clear by diverting sweat away from the eyes to the sides of the face. The current vogue in the West is of thick, dark, elongated brows, reaching almost to the hairline, as seen Salman Rushdie's new girlfriend, Pia Glenn. Back home, shapely non-aggressive arched brows make the cut, says make-up artist Clint Fernandes.

"This trend has come a full circle from the days of bushy to superthin brows, to today's shapely non-aggressive arched brows," he says.

Angular eyebrows like Priyanka Chopra's
This shape is great for those who have a round or wide face. Angled brows begin upward from the inner corner of the eye and then slide down with a steep angle, towards the outer edge. This provides a vertical line to the face, making it appear slimmer. Moreover, it's ideal for close-set eyes as they help in drawing the focus to the outside.

Arched eyebrows like Angelina Jolie's
These are ideal for women who have exceptionally thick brows that ride low along the brow ridge. The arched brow helps open up the eyes. It's a combination of the angled and curved styles, characterised by an upward angle from the inner corner of the eye to approximately two-thirds distance, finishing with a downward curve.

Curved eyebrows like Bipasha Basu's
This type is ideal for those who have sharp, angular features. Curved eye brows are round in shape, and the curve follows the line of the eyelids and expands proportionately.

Flat eyebrows like Kareena Kapoor's
Flat eyebrows are suitable for those who have narrow faces or widely spaced eyes. There are minimal curves along the length of the brow, making the face look broader.

Thick or thin?
Here's what the guys like

Gaurav Kapoor, Actor
How does it matter what shape they are? As long as they look neat and not overly done up, I'm fine.

Swapnil Shah, Production manager with health firm
Thin eyebrows say a woman takes care of her appearance.

Jay bhanushali, TV Actor
I like thick eyebrows; it suggests strong character.

Eyebrows reveal personality, temperament

Dr Hetal Desai Clairvoyant doctor of clinical hypnotherapy, and face reader

>>Observant individuals have a well-developed brow line.
>>The low set brow reveals an impulsive temperament while a higher brow signals a more cautious attitude to decision making.
>>If you have thick eyebrows, you are likely to be drawn towards action and adventure, and are a risk taker. You may also find it hard to have a permanent relationship with one partner.
>>A straight brow is the sign of an
aesthetic and sensitive temperament. You have more conventional preferences in bed. You are a logical thinker.
>>If you have thin eyebrows, it may indicate an overly sensitive nature. This is especially true of those with delicate features like small eyes, nose or mouth.
>>If you have a monobrow (two brows joined), according to traditional Chinese knowledge, you may enjoy S&M.

When the brows are connected or they meet each other through a bridge of hair, it indicates that the individual is a thinker. They evaluate everything around them. They may have trouble sleeping when a major event is approaching. Thick and long brows are considered a good sign in the Chinese art of face reading.

Shape brows according to shape of your face

Shahnaz Hussain Beauty expert

If you have
...u00a0an Oval face

Follow the natural brow shape. The end of the brow should curve downward in the direction of the lower part of the ear.
... Round face
Brows should be arched and angular. The peak or angle should fall more towards the end of the brow, not at the centre. The ends of the brows should slope in the direction towards the top of the ear.
... Heart-shaped face
They should be rounded, no angles. The curve should be slight and gentle, helping to soften the face shape. The ends of the brows should slope in the direction of the middle part of the ear.
... Long face
The brows should not curve, should be straight and flat because a curve will make the face look longer. The end of the brows should gradually slope in the direction of the tip of the ear (extreme top part of ear).
... Square face
The effort should be to reduce the squareness of the jawline. The eyebrow arch should be high, and the angle should be sharper. The peak or place where the angle forms should be directly above the square part of the jawline.
