brow bone

Above the eye

The brow bone is the bony ridge above the eye socket, beneath the eyebrow.

It forms part of the skull's frontal bone and provides structural protection for the eye.

In makeup and cosmetics, it's a key area for highlighting: Apply a light shimmer to your brow bone to open up the eye.
