We sat down with Brian Galke, an expert in the subtle art of face reading. He helps individuals and businesses use face reading skills to enhance their lives, improve their sales, and influence others. 

He shared a few pointers on how you can start using face reading to enhance your life. Here’s what he had to say. 

What Eyebrows Can Tell You About a Person

Brian loves to share tips about eyebrows. The reason is that they are a prominent feature that you can see from far away that can give a sense of how a person likes to receive a message. 

There are three distinct shapes of eyebrows: 

• Rounded
• Angled
• Straight

Believe it or not, the shape of someone’s eyebrows can help you determine a few things about them.  Brian explains that there are two sides to each person’s face, the personal side, and the professional side. 

The personal side is the left side of someone’s face. The professional side is the right side of their face. If you look at some people closely, you may see their eyebrows are slightly different from one side to the other. 

It helps you dig a little deeper into their personal and professional characteristics. 

Rounded Eyebrows

People who have rounded eyebrows like to think about the people around them. They tend to put others first and like to think about the group. 

So if you meet someone with rounded eyebrows, you might ask them to tell you about their family or their coworkers if it’s a business setting. 

People with rounded eyebrows may have trouble answering direct questions about themselves first, so it’s better to ask them about the people around them, kids, spouse, coworkers, etc. 

Angled Eyebrows

People with angled eyebrows are natural teachers. They can find an angle to help someone understand something better. 

You may notice many people in corporate settings whey they are coaching others have angled eyebrows. That tells you that they are masters at learning information and finding an angle to help someone better understand the material. 

When you’re talking with someone with angled eyebrows, you may want to ask probing questions about their work. How do you do that? What does your work entail? 

In a personal setting, you may ask about hobbies and new things they’ve learned or vice versa. 

Straight Eyebrows

People with straight eyebrows like to get straight to the point. They don’t like to spend a long time trying to understand your message. 

They may talk in the least amount of words to get their point across and expect the same from individuals.

When communicating with someone with straight eyebrows, you may want to include the most pertinent information like facts and figures to decide on a product, then let them ask questions. 

In a personal situation, shortening stories and finding the quickest way to say something is a preferred method for building rapport with someone with straight eyebrows. 

The Eyelids Tell a Story About How You Like to Spend Your Time

Believe it or not, you can figure out how someone likes to spend their time all by looking at their eyelids. 

There are two types: 

• Eyelids showing
• Eyelids hidden

When people show their eyelids, they tend to think in terms of a group. They are great team players. They love spending time with others. 

People with less eyelid showing tend to like solitary exploits. For example, they may prefer to work alone and do things their own way.
