Now for those who came here looking for a more vivid description of how to measure your brows, this is the article. I do not own this article but found it great and informative. Remember you don't have to follow these rules to the maximum and do not feel awkward if you do not get the brows at first, try again and keep practicing.

HOW TO LOCATE YOUR BROW START, ARCH AND END

Before you can determine your Brow Quad Ratio, you need to firstly identify where your eyebrows should start, arch and end.

(a) To find the starting point…

Position the ruler so that it sits vertically up from the centre, or close to the centre, of your nostril and intersects with your top brow line. Once you’ve found this spot, mark it with a vertical line that matches your natural brow thickness and height. Eyebrows look best when they begin with a right angle. Note: if starting at the centre of the nostril is too unrealistic for you, then move your start point to the outer edge of the inner nostril instead.

(b) To find the arch…

Position the ruler so that it sits vertically at, or close to, the outer edge of your iris. Where it crosses your top brow line is where your arch (the peak) should be. When in the correct position, your brow arch can instantly give the illusion of a brow lift. However, if your brows naturally arch either side of this ideal spot, don’t panic. You can easily re-establish your arch point with the help of the right brow product.

(c) To find the end…

Angle the ruler from the edge of the nostril to the outer corner of the eye. Where the ruler meets your brow is where your brow should end. This point is crucial because it stops your brows from being over-extended, which inadvertently makes you look sad or tired. However, if ending the brow at this point sacrifices your overall brow length, you may need to readjust your start point. To do this, marginally extend it by a few millimetres towards the centre of your nostril.

Tips: Always use a lighter shade of concealer(one to two shades but two shades at most) underneath your brows and the same shade as your skin color on top your brows.
