Scientists have calculated the ideal shape of eyebrows for modern women. Stephen Metzinger, a plastic surgeon from the University of Louisiana in New Orleans, analyzed using a computer photos of 100 fashion models and 100 ordinary women, according to Vedomosti.

It turned out that the girls looking at us from the pages of glossy magazines, eyebrows reach their apex at a point corresponding to 98% of the length of the eye, if we count from the nose. For all others, the peak is 93%. Compared with the 70-ies of the last century, this indicator has changed: then it was 75 - 80%.

"Our view of beauty has become different," says Metzinger.

According to the author of the work, models prefer this form of eyebrows to prevent their possible "omission", which occurs with age or because of severe fatigue. To achieve the desired can be plucked, combed, special gels. To get close to the models, only last year 75 thousand. women in the United States agreed to an operation by which they raised too low eyebrows.
