Brow bone
The bony ridge above the eye sockets, under the eyebrows.
Also: brow ridge, supraorbital ridge
The brow bone, or supraorbital ridge, is part of the frontal bone that arches over each eye socket. It is usually more prominent in adult men than in women, and varies widely among individuals everywhere. A strong brow bone casts the eyes into shadow and can make them look deep-set. Makeup artists highlight just under the brow arch to lift it; opticians check that a frame top does not press against it.
