Map your eyebrows on your own face

Take one photo. We draw the three classic mapping lines from your nostril, through your iris and through your outer eye corner, then report where your brow head, peak and tail actually sit against them. Nothing is uploaded.

Brow head, peak and tail

Eyebrow mapping tool: map your brows on your own face

Brow artists map three points with a straight edge and a pencil. This free tool does the same thing digitally on your own photo: the nostril line for the head, the iris line for the peak and the outer corner line for the tail, with your actual brow drawn over the top.

In short

Eyebrow mapping finds three points using straight lines from the outer edge of the nostril: vertically up for the brow head, through the outer edge of the iris for the peak, and through the outer eye corner for the tail. Facemap draws all three on your own photo and reports where your brow sits against them.

The three mapping lines

Each line starts at the outer edge of the same nostril, so all three are anchored to your own face rather than to a template.

  • Head: a vertical line up from the outer nostril edge
  • Peak: a line from the nostril through the outer edge of the iris
  • Tail: a line from the nostril through the outer corner of the eye

What the readings mean

The tool reports the peak position as a percentage along the brow, where the classic target is roughly two thirds. It reports brow length in eye widths, so the number does not change with camera distance. It reports tail height against the head, where finishing level or slightly above is the usual convention. And it reports the difference between your two brows.

Brows are sisters, not twins

A visible difference in peak position or head height between the two sides is normal, and it usually follows the same asymmetry seen in the brow line of the full scan. Mapping shows you where the difference sits, which is more useful than being told the two do not match.

Getting a clean map

Hair across the brow and a raised forehead are the two things most likely to distort the reading. Take the photo with a relaxed face, brows down, and nothing crossing the brow line.

  • Hair fully clear of both brows
  • Relaxed forehead, no raised brows
  • Chin level, camera at eye height
  • Even light so the brow edge is crisp

Frequently asked questions

What is eyebrow mapping?

Eyebrow mapping is the technique brow artists use to find three points: where the brow should start, where the peak should sit and where the tail should finish. All three are found with straight lines drawn from the outer edge of the nostril.

Where should my eyebrows start?

The classic start point is directly above the outer edge of the nostril. This tool draws that vertical line on your own face and reports whether your brow head sits on it, inside it or outside it.

Where should the arch sit?

The traditional peak sits on a line from the nostril through the outer edge of the iris, which lands at roughly two thirds of the way along the brow. The tool reports your actual peak position as a percentage along the brow.

Should both brows match exactly?

No. Brows are sisters, not twins, and small differences are universal. The tool reports the difference in peak position and head height so you can see how large yours actually is.

Is this a recommendation to change my brows?

No. It is a measurement of where your brows currently sit against a mapping convention. The convention is a starting point used in salons, not a rule about how a face should look.
