In Los Angeles, perfectly styled brows are practically a calling card. Thanks to the rise of brow lamination, Angelenos can now achieve that soft, fluffy definition in a single salon visit. Once a niche treatment, lamination has quickly become a multimillion-dollar staple, ideal for anyone who wants a polished, “ready-to-go” look without daily effort.
Laminated brows may look Photoshopped, but the effect is created by skilled artists, not software. Like most beauty trends that catch fire on social media, brow lamination has moved from the explore page to everyday LA streets almost overnight.
The right brow shape, laminated, microshaded, or natural, frames your face, softens features, and instantly elevates your look. Join me as we explore artistic variations of brow lamination for LA clientele while staying face shape-focused for beautifully timeless results.
Brow Lamination: More Than Just a "Fluffy Brow" Trend
First, a quick reminder: Brow lamination is a semi-permanent perming process that lifts and sets your brow hairs into a uniform, direction of upwards. It gives the illusion of thicker, fuller, and impeccably groomed brows. Although the fluffy-brow trend dominates Instagram, the real magic of lamination is its versatility. It’s less about size and more about re-shaping each hair to create balance and symmetry for your specific face shape.
Why is your face shape so important?
Because your brows are the frame for your eyes and, therefore, your entire face. The correct brow shape can soften harsh angles, define, or even create the illusion of more balanced proportion.
The Art of Balance: Brow Lamination for Different Face Shapes
Knowing your face shape is the key to your optimal brow lamination outcome. What's below is a guide on how Belris's professionals tailor your lamination to your individual characteristics:
1. Brow Lamination for Round FacesÂ
When you have a round face, the facial features are soft and of the same length and width. The goal for brow lamination on round faces Los Angeles clients is to bring on some subtle angles and vertical lift to create more definition and the illusion of length.
-
Expert Tip: We lift the arch and extend the tail slightly upward to add vertical height and length, giving round faces a more defined silhouette. A slightly higher arch also has the added effect of pointing the eye upwards, making the eye appear to be vertical and thus counteracting the roundness of a round face nicely. Avoid very curved or very flat brows, as they often make the roundness more prominent.
2. Oval Faces: Brow Lamination for the Versatile Canvas
Favorite of many as the "perfect" face shape, oval faces are harmoniously proportioned with a soft curve. Oval-faced individuals love brow lamination's extreme flexibility.
-
Expert Tip: You're a lucky one! Brow shapes can complement most oval faces. Lamination can shape your natural brow and accentuate fuller but less harsh-looking eyebrows. Opt to have a subtle arch lift or a straighter appearance, whichever suits you best. The aim is to support what's already a stunning balance.
3. Brow Lamination for Heart-Shaped Faces: Softening and Framing
Heart faces usually have a wide forehead that gradually thins to a narrow chin, usually with a pointed jaw. The largest concern with brow lamination for oval heart face shapes is relaxing the wide top half and creating an even structure.
-
Expert Tip: We are going to be shaping a soft, slightly arched brow. Although still lifted, the aim is not to achieve sharp corners. A softly arched brow can stunningly frame the forehead and lift the eye without accentuating the chin. A fuller, fluffier brow can also soften the whole face.
4. Brow Lamination for Square & Oblong Faces: Softening and Balancing
Square faces normally have square, prominent foreheads and jawlines, and oblong faces are the same but extended. The desire for these faces is to soften prominent features and introduce a hint of curve or balance.
-
Expert Tip: In square faces, a softer, more subtly arched brow, especially at the arch, can serve as counterbalance to the squared jawline. In oblong faces, creating a slightly straighter brow line along the top, with not too high an arch, can have the visual effect of reducing the appearance of the face's length, providing a straight brow lamination guide LA artists can use in order to achieve more horizontal balance.
