Golden Section Law
Since ancient times, the golden ratio law discovered by Fibonacci has been known. It consists in observing ideal proportions. All wildlife and even the Galaxy obey this law.
People have been using it for a long time in life: the most famous architectural structures, famous paintings, even Pushkin’s poems obey the "golden" rules.
The human body is also arranged according to the rules of the golden section. For example:
- body length from shoulders to the top of the head / size of the head itself is 1: 1.618;
- the lengths from the navel to the crown of the head / from the shoulders to the crown are 1: 1.618.
Of course, a man could not use such a law for his beauty.
Stephen Marquardt took into account all the facial relationships and calculated the "mask of beauty." The mask is a 3D model consisting of intersecting lines (sides of pentagons). The features of the most beautiful famous people in the world correspond to this model (for example, Marilyn Monroe).
Makeup artists respecting themselves and their clients use these ratios when doing makeup. So, for example, the ideal shape of the nose should be equal to the distance from the hairline to the eyebrow line, from the eyebrow to the line mentally drawn under the nose.
Eyebrow Shaping Rules
When correcting the shape of eyebrows, the following rules are used:
- First of all, you need to find the starting point of a perfect eyebrow. To do this, draw a vertical mental line from the cavity above the wing of the nose to the intersection with the brow arc.
- The next step will be to find a broken eyebrow. To do this, draw a visual line passing through the points of the outer edges of the nostrils and iris to the intersection with the eyebrow.
- After that, you need to find the end point of the eyebrow. To do this, you need to draw a mental line passing through the edge of the nostrils and the outer corner of the eye to the intersection with the eyebrow.
In order to make it more convenient to find these points, it is better to use some long object, for example, a brush or ruler for eyebrows, applying them to the indicated points.

- Then you should find the three points for forming the correct shape, indicated above, and mark them with a pencil on the bottom of the eyebrow.
- Find the middle of the face at a point above the bridge of the nose between the eyebrows. Mark with a special white (or other color) pencil and align it with the middle of the ruler.
- After that, the marks of three points, for example, on the left eyebrow, should be transferred to the ruler with a pencil.
- Now we can mark three points on the right side of the ruler, symmetrically to the left, taking into account the marking of the ruler and without resorting to finding points using mental lines.
- Move points from the ruler to the right eyebrow.
- Now you need to draw the bottom line, connecting the dots, then the top, according to the eyebrow pattern. Outline the entire contour (the shape of the eyebrow can also be drawn using a stencil).
