The study, conducted at the University of Toronto, found that there is a link between appearance and personality types, with evidence suggesting that people with thick eyebrows are more self-absorbed.

Lead study author Miranda Giacomin told Cosmopolitan magazine: ''Narcissists love attention and admiration, and may maintain distinct eyebrows so that they are noticed, recognised, and remembered.

''This increases their likeability and maintains their overly positive self-views.''

As part of the research, the study's participants were asked to measure their own level of narcissism.

Then, the photos of the participants were cropped so that only the eyebrows were visible, before the snaps were shown to another research group.

This group were able to identify the self-absorbed people based purely on their eyebrows.
