Hardly anyone will doubt that eyebrows are one of the most important parts of the face. Eyebrows make the look more open and attractive, and facial features - harmonious and beautiful. But picking the perfect shape for your eyebrows is not so easy. It is important to consider the type of face, age of the girl and many other factors. Next, we will tell in detail about which eyebrows are suitable for a round face as well as possible.
Features of a round face
It is imperative that you determine correctly whether your face is round in shape. To do this, check compliance with the following criteria:
- the equivalence of the length and width of the face;
- apparent width of parts;
- smoothness and roundness of all features.
The cheekbones of chubby girls are not very pronounced, they diverge at a fairly wide angle from the chin. In this case, the correct shape of the eyebrows will help bring the round shape closer to the ideal - oval.
How to choose the shape of eyebrows
To make the face too wide visually a little narrower, it is necessary to form a mandatory bend and kink on the eyebrow line. You also need to raise the base and tip of the eyebrow. Such manipulations will help visually stretch the features and make the proportions narrower. For a round face type, rounded lines curved at the outer edge of the eye, as well as rising eyebrows with a tip raised above the level of the temple line, are ideal. Eyebrows that look like the wings of a seagull will also be a universal option.
In order not to doubt the result, it is best to contact a beauty salon where professionals will help you, or use a universal stencil, according to which you can make the desired eyebrow line for your face.
However, such stencils are not suitable for everyone, so you should be careful with them
You can also do the correction yourself. To do this, go to the mirror and take a pencil or thin brush with you. Draw an invisible straight line to the bridge of the nose and forehead from the outside of the nose wing. It is in this place that there should be the widest part of the eyebrow, otherwise the facial expression may turn out to be gloomy and tired.
Next, you need to determine the point at which the bend of the line will begin. To do this, draw a straight line from the outer corner of the nose wing to the outer border of the iris. It is important that the line runs exactly along the border, and not through the middle of the iris, since the latter option will make your eyebrows old-fashioned and irrelevant.
To select the point where the end of the eyebrow will be located, you must once again draw a visual line from the wing of the nose, but already to the outer corner of the eye. All points found should be noted on the skin with white or any other cosmetic pencil. Even any products for the eyes or lips from your cosmetic bag will do.
A predetermined accurate contour will help to avoid mistakes in the process of eyebrow correction, as well as immediately see an approximate result and understand how much you like it.
Common mistakes
Do not make the eyebrows too curved and arched - this shape will add even more roundness to the face, so this option should be avoided. Also, discard a straight line of eyebrows that visually makes your face even wider.
Rules for correction and design
After you have created an approximate contour of the future shape, you must proceed to remove the excess hairs. Take tweezers and pluck out all the hairs that are behind the contour line. Remove them in the direction of growth, avoiding breaking off, since it will lead to the appearance of unattractive black dots that cannot be masked until the hairs grow back. It is not necessary to assume that the upper hairs cannot be removed.
If they clearly interfere with your ideal form and spoil the overall look, do not leave them.
Before the procedure with tweezers, it is important to sanitize the device and the skin to prevent infection and irritation.
Also, in the process of tweezers adjustment, you need to constantly check the shape for symmetry. If for you the procedure of plucking hairs is rather painful, you can pre-prepare the skin and significantly reduce pain. For example, an effective way is to cool the skin with ice cubes. A good alternative to cooling is pre-steaming. A universal and win-win option is local anesthesia with a cream or a special solution. However, before applying such drugs, you must make sure that you are not allergic to the components of the drug.
The width of the eyebrow depends on the natural density of the hairs. Do not make strings of eyebrows - this has long gone out of fashion.
Moreover, thin eyebrows go only to girls with perfect face proportions, and are absolutely not suitable for chubby ones.
How to color eyebrows
Eyebrow tinting will make them look much thicker, well-groomed and beautiful. Moreover, pre-staining before correction helps to ideally remove all hairs without missing even the smallest. At home, staining can be done with paint or henna. If you apply professional materials, you will be completely delighted with the result, however, working with professional paints requires a certain skill and knowledge.
On average, the result of staining with paint remains for 2 weeks. Hair coloring with henna makes it possible to forget about eyebrow shaping for about 1 month. But it should be understood that both materials differ not only in the duration of the effect. So, the paint dyes only the hairs, while henna also affects the skin, so when working with henna you should be especially careful and careful.
It is also advisable to outline the desired shape contour with a cosmetic pencil before the procedure in order to avoid troubles.
But in any case, you can always correct an unsuccessful result with the help of a special tool - a remover.
Coloring eyebrows with henna or paint can be done not only at home, but also in a professional beauty salon. In this case, the salon specialists will choose the perfect shape for your face and help you keep it for a long time.
Another popular way to design eyebrows for a round or any other person is microblading. This is a modern and more successful alternative to tattooing. Tattoo made it possible to make a certain line of eyebrows for several years, but it was very noticeable on the face, looked unnatural and could turn black with time. Microbleading is devoid of such drawbacks, since the technique of performing such a procedure involves drawing individual hairs. This allows you to achieve maximum naturalness of the result.
Makeup
In addition to permanent makeup, you can use regular. This method requires a daily waste of time, but you can always easily create the shape of the eyebrow that suits you the most. In addition, if you do makeup often, you will have a certain skill, and it will take very little time to dye.
For a modern and beautiful eyebrow make-up you will need several products: a pencil or eye shadow, a light shade corrector, highlighter, as well as a fixing gel, wax or mascara. If by nature you have fairly thick eyebrows, then in your daily makeup you can do with a transparent or tinted gel. Just comb the hairs with a brush, lifting them up, and then carefully laying them.
In the event that your eyebrows are asymmetrical, or in some places there are simply no hairs, you will have to use additional cosmetics. Consider two makeup options.
With the help of shadows
The shade of the shadows should match your hair color or be about half a ton darker than it. Avoid too dark shades - this will look ugly. To work with shadows, you need a thin beveled brush, usually it is sold complete with such decorative cosmetics. To start, carefully comb the hairs up to understand in which particular places there are not enough shadows. Then, with light strokes, draw lines that mimic natural hairs.
In the process of registration, watch for the symmetry of the two eyebrows. Next, take the corrector, the color of which is slightly lighter than your foundation. Put it on the brush and draw a neat line under the eyebrow, highlighting its tip. So she will look as neat as possible.
The final stage of makeup will be fixing the result with a special transparent gel or wax. And to give the look openness, freshness and expressiveness, apply a little highlighter under the eyebrow.
Important: Avoid a clear eyebrow contour - it looks bad. When drawing with shadows, a gradient should be created: the head of the eyebrow will be slightly lighter than the base and tip.
The darkest point should be the break point of the eyebrow, if present. This rule is especially relevant for a round face.
With a pencil
In general, the rules for eyebrow make-up with a pencil practically coincide with the previous option. It is important that the pencil is always sharpened sharply - the only way all the lines will be neat and invisible.
If you use a tint fixing gel with a pencil or eye shadow, it is important to ensure that the hairs do not turn out too dark.
