browbone

Forehead's lower edge

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

It forms part of the skull's frontal bone and creates the prominent ledge that helps protect the eye.

Makeup artists highlight or contour the browbone to define the eye area: Apply a light shimmer to your browbone.
