Key Takeaways

How Should Glasses Line Up With Eyebrows?

Here is a quick guide on how glasses should ideally line up with brows:

FeatureIdeal Alignment
VisibilityBrows sit slightly above the top rim.
ShapeFrame curve mimics the brow curve.
PositionFrame should not bisect the eyebrow.

1. Follow the Brow Line

The top of frames should generally follow the natural curve of your eyebrows.

The "Parallel" Rule: Aim for the top rim of the glasses to run roughly parallel to the brow line. This creates a harmonious, symmetrical look.

2. The Golden Rule: Don't Hide the Brows

In most cases, eyebrows should be visible above the frame.

About 1/2 to 2/3 of eyebrow should sit above the top of the glasses. However, if you’re going for a bold, vintage look, covering the brow is acceptable.

3. Avoid the "Double Brow"

Ideally, eyebrows should not sit inside the lenses of your glasses. If your brows appear through the lens, it can create a cluttered "double brow" effect that distracts from your eyes. If this is happening, the frames might be too large for your face or the bridge might be sitting too low on your nose.

Glasses and Brows FAQ

Should eyebrows be visible with glasses?

Ideally, your eyebrows should remain above the frames. In this case, they’re only slightly covered, which still works. Keeping brows visible matters not just aesthetically, but because they play a key role in expressing emotion.

Should glasses go up to your eyebrows?

Ideally, glasses should cover about half of your eyebrow width. Frames that completely hide your brows or sit too low can look unbalanced—but if that look is intentional and fits your style, go for it. More fashion-forward

How should glasses line up with eyebrows?

The ideal placement of glasses in relation to your eyebrows allows the frames to sit comfortably on your nose while aligning just below the brow line. The top rim should run parallel to your brows, enhancing your natural features without covering them.

What is the golden rule for eyebrows?

The eyebrow “golden rule,” popularized by Anastasia Beverly Hills, uses the golden ratio (≈1.618) and facial landmarks to guide brow shape. Brows should start at the inner nostril, peak where the nostril aligns with the iris, and end at the outer eye corner, creating balanced, symmetrical framing for the face.
