Brow archetype preferred dy Korean Women

초록

The aim of this study is to see which brow archetype is preferred by Korean women. The archetypes were chosen from a literature search, which contain detailed, replicable methods and have diagrams (Westmore, Lamas, Anastasia, Schreiber, and Hwang). A survey was conducted on 300 subjects. They were asked whether they think there might be a method which yields an ideal brow archetype. In the cases where they said yes, they were asked to choose one of the illustrated 5 brow archetypes that they think ideal.Among the 300 respondents, 232 (77.3%) thought there might be a method to yield an ideal brow archetype, while 68 (22.7%) answered they did not. The preference for the brow archetypes were different among the 5 archetypes (p=0.0001, [Chi-square]). Anastasia was the most preferred (44.8%, brow starts on a perpendicular line drawn from the middle of the nostril, arches on a line drawn from the center of the nose through the center of the pupil, and ends on a line drawn from the edge of the corresponding nasal ala through the outer edge of the eye) followed by Lamas (22.0%).The result of this study might be useful in facial rejuvenation surgeries or eyebrow tattooing.
