Eyebrow peak position
Where the highest point (peak) of your brow sits, from the iris centre toward the outer eye corner.
Why it matters
A peak toward the outer iris/lateral limbus is widely considered the most attractive brow shape, especially in women.
What the brow apex is
The brow apex is the highest point of the eyebrow arch, the peak of the brow. This report locates it along a line drawn from the centre of the iris (scored as 0) outward to the outer corner of the eye (scored as 1). A reading of 0.5 puts the peak halfway between the pupil and the outer corner; readings closer to 1 place it further out toward the tail of the brow.
Anatomically the peak is simply wherever the upper edge of the brow rises highest above the orbital rim. Because that upper edge is defined by hair, the apex is one of the most grooming-sensitive points on the whole face: plucking the underside of the brow out toward the tail moves the apparent peak laterally, and filling the brow with makeup can place the peak almost anywhere.
Why peak position matters
Where the brow peaks is one of the classic levers of brow design. A peak sitting over the lateral iris, or between it and the outer corner, is widely regarded as the most flattering arch, especially in women; it is the shape the Arch Facial Plast Surg 2010 survey behind this metric linked to the preferred female brow. A peak set too far toward the centre, over the inner iris, can give a permanently surprised or severe look, while a peak pushed all the way out to the tail tends to flatten the arch and lengthen the brow visually.
The apex also works together with brow tilt and brow height: the same peak position can look quite different on a flat brow versus a strongly lifted one, so it is best read alongside those two metrics rather than on its own.
The conventional range, and why to hold it loosely
The band runs from roughly 0.6 to 0.95 (peak over the lateral iris and out toward the outer corner), with the modelled average near 0.77. The band is deliberately wide because there is real latitude for personal taste and fashion here.
Two honest points keep this in perspective. First, the apex is detected as the single highest vertex of the brow on this mesh, so grooming, a stray hair or a slightly raised brow can move it. Second, in this app's rated faces peak position only weakly tracked attractiveness; it carries less weight than brow height or tilt. A value outside the band is therefore low-stakes. Brow fashion also shifts over time and varies across cultures, so a 'lateral peak' is a convention, not a fixed target.
Reading and changing your own value
If your value sits in the band, your arch peaks in the conventionally flattering lateral zone. A markedly lower value means the peak sits centrally, over or inside the pupil; a value near 1 means the peak is right at the tail with little arch leading up to it.
This is among the most changeable items in the whole report. Shaping the brow, by removing hair below and inside the point where you want height and letting it grow where the peak should be, slides the apex along the iris-to-corner line, and makeup can redraw it outright. Because bone plays almost no part in where brow hair peaks, there is very little here that is truly fixed; it is largely a styling choice, which is why it is best treated as an adjustable finishing detail rather than a structural finding.
Typical range
~0.6-0.95 (peak over the lateral iris toward the outer corner)
Where the highest point of the eyebrow arch sits, measured from the iris center (0) to the outer eye corner (1). A peak toward the lateral iris/outer corner is generally considered attractive, more so in women.
What your reading means
- Typical
- Your brow peaks in the flattering lateral position.
- Less common
- Your brow peak is near the preferred position.
- Distinctive
- Your brow peaks too centrally or too far out versus the preferred lateral position.
How we measured it
We locate the brow arch peak and express its position from the iris centre (0) to the outer eye corner (1).
The evidence
The peak is the highest arch vertex from the mesh; brow grooming changes it, and in our data peak position only weakly tracks ratings.
