Creating an easy or evening make-up, it is impossible to ignore the eyebrow design. Even if you are an adherent of natural beauty and use only daytime face cream and lip balm before leaving the house, well-groomed eyebrows will only decorate the image. Well-groomed this part of the face gives the girl a careless and unencumbered concern for her own appearance. In this article, we’ll talk about how to make eyebrows look beautiful step by step using various decoration tools. It can be paint, henna, pencil, wax, permanent makeup. In addition, we will talk about how to pluck eyebrows correctly, without spoiling their natural line at the same time.
If naturalness is in fashion, then why touch eyebrows?
If we talk about naturalness and naturalness, then, perhaps, it has never been in fashion. Another thing is that it seems natural. Think for yourself, nature has endowed the girls with generous vegetation throughout the body. The color of hair and eyelashes is often not the one we would like for ourselves. If genuine naturalness really were in fashion, cosmetologists, makeup artists and hairdressers would become extinct as a species due to the lack of customers. Meanwhile, the young ladies go to the masters every now and then to correct something in their appearance.
Speaking of beautiful eyebrows, fashion today dictates naturalness. But believe me, if your eyebrows are transparent and not thick, then they need to be brought into a completely different “natural” look.
Natural beautiful eyebrows today
Approaching the design of eyebrows, one cannot help but build on fashion trends. The fact that it is changeable, like a sea breeze, people already know well and have noted the frequent change of many trends. Speaking specifically about eyebrows, at the beginning of the last century thinly plucked lines were considered fashionable. Throughout the twentieth century, film divas and models together plucked them, and only by the eighties it became fashionable to wear wide, thick eyebrows.
Today, densely filled, dark eyebrows that focus on the eyes are considered beautiful. Of course, not everyone can boast of such a natural treasure. Georgian and Armenian girls are now at the peak of popular trends, but if you are a Slav, then you need to draw eyebrows.
Step one: tidy up
Eyebrow decoration begins with the removal of unwanted hairs that grow outside the natural line. However, when plucking hairs, do it exclusively under the eyebrow, and not above it. Overdoing it, you can distort the natural form, giving the face a compassionate or silly look.
If the hairs of your eyebrows are very long, then it will be difficult to make them beautiful. In this case, proceed as follows. Comb the eyebrow to the bottom, and the part of the hairs that goes beyond the natural line, carefully trim with nail scissors. After that, comb the eyebrow to the top, and repeat the procedure.
Threading hair
Many beauty salons today offer you the design of eyebrow thread. This procedure is called "trading" and is a good enough, albeit not too well-known way to remove unwanted facial hair. In order to create a “device” for hair removal, take cotton threads about forty centimeters long. In the middle they need to be twisted among themselves ten times.
As a result, you get a special “device” that resembles a figure eight. Pull the free ends of the threads, and the resulting nodules in the middle grab the unnecessary hairs along the growth line. This method causes less irritation than removing hair with tweezers. In addition, with threads you can quickly get rid of much more unnecessary vegetation than with alternative methods of hair removal.
It is important to sanitize the skin before and after the procedure. When you finish hair removal, brush your skin with a mild moisturizer. Do not worry if, for the first time, you will not be able to capture and remove many hairs at once. In eyebrow shaping in this way, only practice is important.
Step Two: Choose a Staining Method
If your eyebrows need to give brightness, depth or change shape, then at your service there are many alternatives. Some of the methods are quite suitable for home use without fear of harming the appearance or spoiling the eyebrow. Other eyebrow shaping methods can be performed only in beauty salons with the help of masters. Learn how to create perfect eyebrows and choose the one that suits you.
Henna Decoration
Henna is a natural dye that not only dyes hairs, but also "sneaks" into the upper layers of the dermis. Thus, if your eyebrows are not thick enough and poorly visible on your face, then henna styling will be a good choice in order to emphasize the natural lines.
The indisputable advantage of using henna is the ability to create such eyebrows as you want, regardless of the natural hairline. The disadvantage of this procedure is that it is better to carry it out at the hairdresser, as the master will be able to choose the most suitable eyebrow shape for your face and create it using a natural dye. Another disadvantage of henna staining is the limited selection of colors. Henna is all shades of red, so if you have jet black or blonde hair, then henna will have to be mixed with another paint. Such a mixture can cause an allergy or, even worse, create a completely unpredictable color effect like orange or green.
Eyebrow dyeing
Eyebrow and eyelash decoration with paint is a popular way to make the look and face, in general, more expressive. The disadvantage of this method of dyeing is the unnaturalness of the product, which can lead to allergic reactions, and also makes the hairs weakened, brittle. However, if you trust a well-known manufacturer of cosmetics, the probability of harming eyebrows or eyelashes is reduced to zero.
A significant advantage of using paint is the ability to complete the dyeing procedure yourself, even without experience. Apply the product along the hairline. Please note that such a product only dyes hair, without affecting the skin. Paint is suitable for those girls whose eyebrows are quite thick, but not quite bright. A good paint for eyebrows and eyelashes costs from 400 rubles. Buying one package will provide you with a coloring tool for at least a dozen treatments. The design and coloring of eyebrows with paint is the most popular way today to give brightness to the image, without significantly changing the width and length of the eyebrows.
Tattoo and permanent makeup
These two terms essentially mean the same thing. Along the line of growth of the eyebrows, a special coloring pigment is applied under the skin, emphasizing the existing or creating a new eyebrow. A dozen years ago, masters asked to shave the girls eyebrows, drawing new needles. Today this is not necessary, the paint is applied to a less deep layer, it has a different composition. Tattooing is an effective way to emphasize eyebrows, however it is important to choose a good master.
Since permanent makeup is created by introducing paint with a needle under the skin, it is a kind of tattoo. Of course, the term of wearing a tattoo is much shorter than a regular tattoo, due to the composition of the paint, and ranges from 2 to 4 years. After this time, permanent makeup becomes barely noticeable or completely removed from under the skin, and, if desired, you can repeat the procedure. Permanent makeup is quite painful when applied, masters use local anesthesia. The cost of tattooing is from 2000 rubles.
Microblading
Today you can find a lot of announcements about the training of eyebrow shaping through the microblading procedure. The training lasts two to three days, after which the master can create new eyebrows for you with the help of micro-cutters with application of paint under the skin. The technique is also called “hair tattooing”, as cuts represent the creation of painted hairs.
Fresh works of this design of eyebrows in the photo look very beautiful and natural, differ from permanent tattoo in a greater visual naturalness. The disadvantage of this procedure is that microblading heals very poorly, in particular, due to cuts that mimic the hairs, multiple small scars remain.
This method of eyebrow shaping appeared in our country with the filing of Asian women. However, the skin of Asian women is thicker, and microblading is ideal for them, as it heals quickly and without scars. The Slavs have thinner skin due to geographical conditions, and 9 out of 10 women afterwards will not be able to repeat the procedure, since not every master will undertake tattooing on damaged and scarred skin. In addition, judge for yourself what a master graduate of two-day technical courses will be like. This is not to say that microblading is contraindicated to all Slavs without exception, but think carefully before choosing this procedure for eyebrow shaping.
Eyebrow Makeup
Let's go back about five years ago. Then in the market of cosmetics there was not such an assortment for eyebrows. When this part of the face became truly “fashionable,” cosmetics manufacturers began to create tints, special shades, and wax to emphasize this part of the face. Eyebrow makeup is the fastest way to emphasize them.
Pay attention to the tint. Most often, it is available in the form of a liquid, which, when applied to an eyebrow, turns into a hardened film. The coloring pigments contained in the tint penetrate under the skin, similarly to the effects of henna. When you remove the film from the eyebrows, they will appear to be carefully painted over with a pencil. However, unlike henna, the effect of applying tint lasts about a day or two.
Wax is ideal for those girls whose eyebrows are almost perfect by nature. This cosmetic product can help you emphasize the natural beauty of the eyebrow, smooth the hairs and give them the desired shape. Most often, wax is produced in the form of a pencil, so it is easy to apply, even without proper skills.
Eyebrow shadows are applied by the applicator, after which they need to be shaded along the hairline. They give a shadow effect, creating a density and color saturation. Available in a wide palette of brown colors.
