How to understand what shape of eyebrows suits you, if a fashion inspires one thing, common sense is different, but it’s really beautiful for you? Is it necessary to focus on trends in such a burning issue as eyebrows? How to choose the shape of eyebrows and what shade to stop? We will reflect on all this below.
Fashion or classic?
Fashionable trends and trends, so that those who are in confusion, help and guide. Do not forget that there is always a classic and a middle ground, adhering to which, you will look irresistible in any era, at any time and in any company. This applies to hairstyles, and the shape of eyebrows, and clothing, and manners, and everything else that can be directed along the rivers of fashion.
Choosing the shape of eyebrows by type of face, you are unlikely to be mistaken, but it is worth considering that even this unshakable criterion tends to change. Gather a couple of extra pounds, and your face will become rounder, lose weight - cheekbones will appear and your eyes will become larger, and a correctly selected shape of eyebrows can balance any type of face. Of course, contouring, shaping the forehead line, and more radical methods, such as plastic surgery, for example, sometimes help to achieve this goal.
We are all physiognomists
Reading by faces is a talent that is more or less owned by everyone: someone on a professional level, and someone on an intuitive one. Children who do not know how to read perceive faces, focusing in the center. The peoples who write from left to right are used to reading information: first from left to right, then from top to bottom.
This psychological trick is used by marketers, but as for the human face, the eyebrows are the first after the hairstyle to fall into the field of view of the interlocutor, which is why they are so important.
Eyebrow Power
Each of us is naturally given a different shape of eyebrows: for some they are wide, for others narrow, for some they are lowered, for others they are raised, black and light, short and long ... These criteria must be paid attention to.
The main lines should not go beyond the natural zone of hair growth. Having combed your eyebrows up or down, you can see the very line that will be the carrier. Relying on it, you emphasize your shape of the eyebrows, which simply can not be to your face.
Which eyebrow shape to choose?
You can do this with several proven methods:
- focus on fashion trends and copy your favorite form on the video of the famous blogger;
- use a thread, a ruler, a pencil and a bar to mark the lines of the head, tail and bend of the eyebrow;
- focus on your own line of growth;
- use stencils;
- turn to an experienced eyebrow;
- monitor online services and choose the shape of eyebrows from a photo;
- experiment yourself.
Each of these methods has the right to life.
In fashion
What eyebrow shape is currently popular? For several years in a row, maximum naturalness has been in fashion, but it does not exclude accuracy. For secular makeup, carefully selected eyebrows are chosen, wide, with a gradient transition, circled by a concealer, and for everyday life it is quite enough to comb them and bring them in a little with pencil or shadows.
You may notice that now it is even permissible to wear unbroken eyebrows, fluffy, but let down by shadows a la smoky effect. However, such emancipation in the design to face only girls with clean even skin and a tightened oval. If you do not possess such qualities, then a casual style will only aggravate the look.
We can say that any adequate eyebrows are in fashion now, but too thin or stiffly tattooed ones look a little ridiculous.
Eyebrow shapes
What are the shapes of eyebrows? There are many different classifications. Some describe the pattern itself (straight, arched, curved, monobrow), others describe the thickness (thin, harmonious, wide), others describe their location on the face (horizontal, pierrot, ascending), etc.
Straight eyebrows have virtually no crease, as a rule, are parallel to the imaginary line that connects the inner and outer corners of the eyes.
The arched eyebrow is also called the crescent, it does not have a crease. This shape is perfect for those who have eyebrows and forehead shape allow. Despite a very smooth and feminine bend, it does not categorically fit certain types of faces, making the look too overweight.
The bent eyebrow has a pronounced crease angle. It goes to most people. The amplitude of the bend can achieve a lifting effect.
For the ascending eyebrows, the outer tail is always higher than the head, while for the pierrot it is vice versa.
Where will we make eyebrows?
The shape of the eyebrows can say a lot about their owner, because it is these two stripes above the eyes that convey the character of a person. By changing their slope, thickness or length, you can turn an angelic face into a bitchy one.
Even if you stock up with all kinds of makeup for eyebrows, it will be of little use if it is chosen incorrectly. There is an opinion that the bend of the eyebrows should be selected according to the type of face, but how to explain the fact that one and the other form can go to the same person at different times?
A person has the property of growing up, getting younger, tired and losing muscle tone, swelling, losing weight, etc. And in each case, you need to individually approach the design of the eyebrows.
When a face is tightened, rested, it does not require visual contouring, including due to eyebrows. If fatigue prevails, or yesterday was a good evening, in the morning you can notice swelling, swelling. In this case, eyebrows will help: curved need to be made more amplitude, and straight a little slanted to create a lifting effect.
Round face
What shape of eyebrows is suitable for a person without a pronounced texture? Before answering this question and starting to pick up a bend, you need to agree on what we will call a round face. This is the whole snag, since it is difficult for a person to independently determine his type. And sometimes it’s not easy to “make a diagnosis” from the side if the shape of the face does not have specific angles or roundness.
When choosing the tilt and bend of the eyebrows, you need to focus more on the shape of the forehead. Chubby people with flowing features will go sophisticated smooth brows without sharp bends. If the forehead is high, you need to draw them along the top line of growth, so the look will seem wide and the forehead more harmonious.
Oval face
What shape of eyebrows is suitable for holders of regular elongated shape? Almost any. Yes, these girls were the most fortunate, as their even and curved eyebrows look very harmonious. Depending on the hairstyle, each time you can choose a different shape of the eyebrows.
Long face
Despite the fact that many girls are trying to visually stretch their face, so that it seemed thinner, the owners of a pronounced elongation try to hide it as much as possible. Horizontal eyebrows will help in this matter. Any arch and strong bend lengthen the appearance, so such techniques should be avoided.
The long-faced girls look beautifully with wide eyebrows with a long tail.
Square face
This type is more suitable for amplitude eyebrows with a kink or with a smooth bend. Straight parallel wide eyebrows can make the appearance masculine, for tenderness it is better to opt for moderate thickness.
Eyebrow Formula
Everyone knows that to determine the beginning, end and highest point (or bending point) of an eyebrow, you need to use the following trick: draw a line through the extreme lateral point of the nose wing and the inner corner of the eye - this is the beginning of the eyebrow; a line passing through the tip of the nose and the middle of the pupil will show the crease point; and the line that connects the wing of the nose and the outer corner of the eye limits the tail of the eyebrow.
For a beautiful, wide-eyed look, makeup artists recommend shaping eyebrows so that their tip is always above the head or, in extreme cases, lay on the same line. So the face will look peppy, fit. If the outer corner is omitted, this creates fatigue or eternal surprise.
If you have large facial features, opt for wide eyebrows, if sophisticated - thin.
If the skin is problematic or uneven, which may be the result of age-related changes or diseases, fluffy, indistinctly shaped or not plucked eyebrows will aggravate the appearance, but they will also not decorate stiffly even.
To visually stretch your face, increase the amplitude of the bend, to shorten - reduce.
You need to narrow your forehead - we make eyebrows shorter, you need to expand - we make longer.
The best way is experiment.
You need not be too lazy and choose one day for experiments on yourself. You can draw eyebrows according to the formula, you can by eye. Above, below, thinly, thickly, the inner corner should be brought closer to the bridge of the nose or put off ... It will take some time, but no one will cope with this task better than you yourself.
To mask natural eyebrows, you can use a concealer, a thick foundation or a white pencil, and the most daring ones whiten or shave them, which is something we don’t recommend. Then on top of a clean “canvas” we draw our eyebrows.
You can borrow techniques from professional brovists and use the bar. However, perfectly even eyebrows can make a face skewed, as perfectly symmetrical faces are rare and sometimes look frightening.
Color affects shape
Many famous makeup artists call for the non-use of black for eyebrows. If there is no way out, and you have only a black pencil or shadow in your arsenal, you will have to make the eyebrow 1.5 times thinner so that it does not overload the face.
It is best to choose a brown pencil or shadow, but not with an orange undertone, but with gray. This versatile product is ideal for brunettes, brown-haired women, redheads and blondes. And in the absence of the rest of the cosmetics, they can also make up the eyes, do contouring and emphasize the lips.
So, the brighter the color, the wider the eyebrow; the darker the thinner.
To learn how to choose the shape of eyebrows by type of face, you do not need to develop formulas and measure everything with a ruler, just trust the personal feeling of beauty.
