Geometrical coordinates in stylistic design of eyebrows.
The fourth page describes physiognomy of forehead and eyebrows, namely geometrical coordinates or datum lines of facial sizes according to which it is possible to speak about potential and kinetic psychological features of human consciousness.

Artists imagists and stylists can consider information on physiognomy of eyebrows during cosmetic make-up or otherwise to tell stylistic design of female faces.

Measurements of forehead and eyebrows in physiognomy.
Facial features and geometrical coordinates for stylistic design.

Physiognomy of a forehead is complex as geometrical shapes of foreheads in frontal perspectives of human faces and concerning vertical axis of facial measurements are complex for visual identification of sizes, and also foreheads in most cases are hidden by hair. Namely it is difficult to see formal sizes of a top head part, but if it is possible then physiognomy of forehead and eyebrows can be compared with trigrams Ba Gua in the canon of changes i-jing as well as other facial traits, that is shown on the chart.

physiognomy of forehead and eyebrows with trigrams Ba Gua of i-jing

Top row of physiognomic pictures shows eight types of foreheads and eyebrows according to lateral perspectives of a face in profile.
Bottom row of pictures shows eight physiognomic types in geometrical outlines of foreheads and eyebrows according to frontal facial perspectives in full-face.
Physiognomic types of foreheads and eyebrows according to vertical axis of measurements on this chart are not shown, as vertical sizes of forehead levels in features of a face are complex for identifying. Namely the shown chart partially compares foreheads and eyebrows to geometrical facial coordinates in a context of physiognomy. But however ratios of potential and kinetic psychological features of human consciousness can be analyzed by means of the shown chart concerning horizontal axes of measurements in half and full face.
For example, forehead and eyebrows in the human face in view of physiognomy have sizes which can be compared to the sixth trigram in full-face and to the seventh trigram in profile, that is possible to designate F6 L7 by letters and symbols of the canon i-jing.
Ratio of psychological features according to geometrical coordinates of consciousness in a context of physiognomy in this case have following meanings.
Top of forehead - synthesizing consciousness.
Insignificant potential tendencies of thinking do not allow to realize significant kinetic aspirations to actualization of ideas, as break line in the sixth trigram and entire line in the seventh trigram are on top positions that corresponds to top of forehead which is narrow in full-face and expressed in profile.
Middle of forehead - integrating consciousness.
Significant potential possibilities of thinking cannot be realized by weak kinetic capacity, as entire line in the sixth Ba Gua and break line in the seventh Ba Gua are on middle positions, that corresponds to the middle of forehead with wide sizes in full-face and not expressed sizes in profile.
Eyebrows - analytical consciousness.
Insignificant potential tendencies of thinking do not contradict insignificant kinetic energies of mental actualization of ideas, as in the sixth and the seventh Ba Gua of i-jing on bottom positions there are break lines that corresponds to the narrow and not expressed outlines of eyebrows in full-face and profile.
The information about psychological meanings of three types of consciousness in a context of physiognomy look on pages of this website in section with the name: half-faces (concepts).
In a similar way formal outlines of foreheads and eyebrows can be correlated to symbols of the canon i-jing for considering of psychological coordinates in traits of potential and kinetic characteristics of consciousness in view of facial physiognomy. But also it is possible to consider only eyebrows without considering of forehead, that is shown in the table.

measurements of eyebrows in geometrical coordinates for stylistic design Physiognomic pictures and digrams of the canon i-jing at the top correspond to sizes of eyebrows according to frontal facial perspectives and vertical measurements of a face. Namely top lines in digrams designate sizes of eyebrows concerning vertical axis of measurements, and bottom lines designate horizontal sizes in full-face.
Physiognomic pictures and single lines of symbols i-jing at the left designate horizontal sizes of eyebrows in half-face.
Trigrams Ba Gua of the canon i-jing in cells of the table develop of digrams above and single lines at the left that corresponds to three measurements of eyebrows and geometrical coordinates of analytical consciousness in a context of physiognomy of a human face.

In total lines in Ba Gua of the canon i-jing in cells of the table designate following formal parameters and geometrical measurements of eyebrows.
Entire lines above - thick on vertical.
Break lines above - thin on vertical.
Entire lines in the middle - wide in full-faces.
Break lines in the middle - narrow in full-faces.
Entire lines below - expressed in half-face.
Break lines below - not expressed in half-face.
For example, eyebrows on the human face in view of the listed formal parameters and geometrical facial measurements correspond to the sixth trigram of the canon i-jing in the table.
In this case significant potential tendencies of analytical consciousness cannot be realized by weak kinetic possibilities for realization of ideas, that corresponds to the entire line on middle position and to the break line on bottom position in trigram, and also to formal parameters of eyebrows which are wide in full-faces and not expressed in profile according to horizontal measurements of geometrical coordinates. Moreover, impossible kinetic realization of ideas is aggravated by thin sizes of eyebrows on vertical, that corresponds to the break line on top position in trigram, and as a result there is an impression that non-realized ideas are essential psychological lack of personality.
The shown example can be considered from the point of view of not only physiognomy, but also cosmetic make-up or otherwise to tell stylistic design of female faces. Namely when women correct facial features and make-up eyebrows too thin concerning vertical axis of measurements then there is an impression that non-realized ideas are psychological lack, in the event that eyebrows correspond to the sixth Ba Gua of the canon i-jing in the shown table as a result of stylistic design. But if eyebrows on a female face as a result of facial make-up or cosmetic correction correspond to the fourth either second or eighth trigrams then such impression does not arise.
In total Ba Gua of the canon i-jing in cells of the shown table can be considered not only as symbols of geometrical coordinates of psychological features of analytical consciousness in a context of physiognomy of a human face, but also as symbols of formal facial parameters which are perceived as positive or negative in faces of women as a result of stylistic design and cosmetic make-up. That cosmeticians and artists of stylistic facial design, and also managers in cosmetic beauty salons can consider.
More detailed information on visual impressions caused by ratio of potential and kinetic properties of analytical consciousness according to other trigrams of the canon i-jing in the shown table I shall try to publish in the future, if such information will be demanded for use in cosmetic make-up and stylistic facial design.
