Eyebrows are the frame of the face. With their help, you can visually make the face thinner and more youthful, adjust some features, and also give the look expressiveness or certain emotions. And if previously thin eyebrows with a noticeable bend were considered fashionable, today luxurious wide and straight eyebrows have replaced them. Which is just right for the girls, because thin eyebrows go to units, and wide, on the contrary, favorably emphasize any facial features.
Trend Features
The fashion for straight eyebrows came from South Korea. The fact is that Koreans naturally have such a shape of eyebrows that makes their face visually younger. And since this state has long begun to occupy not the last place in the legislators of cosmetic fashion, the trend for eyebrow design in this way has become the most popular in the world. And even at Dior and Armani shows, the models were with straight eyebrows.
Face shape
You should remember a simple rule: even the brightest trend needs to be avoided if it makes the appearance worse and not better. The same applies to eyebrow makeup, because they can significantly change the face. To get started, figure out what facial shapes fit straight eyebrows.
- Oval. Perhaps this is the most versatile and harmonious face shape, for which any makeup, hairstyle and shape of eyebrows are suitable. You can safely make thin or wide straight lines, they will not spoil the devil. By the way, the same applies to girls with a beautiful diamond-shaped face.
- Square. This type of face is characterized by the angularity of lines and approximately equal in size to all its parts (length, width, height). Straight lines of eyebrows can make a square face visually shorter.Therefore, owners of this form should make eyebrows with a soft fracture. So you can stay in trend, and not sacrifice your natural beauty.
- Round. Extremes should be avoided here. Excessively straight thick and dark eyebrows will give a round face an unnatural and frowning look. Exactly the same as overly curved. Chubby go more soft straight eyebrows with a barely noticeable kink, making them look like the wing of a seagull.
- Triangular. Girls with this type of face should avoid the straight form, as this can further emphasize and enlarge the upper part of the face. It is better to give preference to eyebrows with a noticeable kink.
- Elongated. If the face has an elongated oval shape, then straight eyebrows are just perfect. With their help, it will be possible to visually expand the face a little, making the image even more beautiful and proportional. It is important to make a line without kinks and bends, leaving it as straight as possible.
How to issue?
There are two options: make eyebrows yourself or go for help to a beauty salon, to professionals. It is worthwhile to analyze in more detail the features of each method.
- Professional design. The main advantage of specialist assistance is speed and quality. You don’t have to spend a lot of time to develop the skill of proper handling with tweezers or other materials and tools, as well as choosing the right shape, because professionals know exactly what type of straight eyebrows is best for a particular person. It will be immediately noticeable how the image was transformed, while the procedure takes only about 30 minutes. However, this method has certain nuances, which for some will be disadvantages. For example, a high price for services. In popular salons, eyebrow styling is usually quite expensive.
In addition, not everyone decides to entrust changes in their appearance to the wrong hands. But here the choice depends only on personal preferences.
- Independent. For the design of eyebrows on their own at home, you will not have to pay a dime, not counting the cost of materials. You can start the procedure at any time, at least at 5 in the morning. You don’t have to sign up for a specific time or wait in line. But at the same time, not every girl knows how to shape her eyebrows so that the result competes with the work of a professional. It will take a lot of time to “get your hand in it,” but then everything will turn out much faster. It will also take time to find the perfect line of straight eyebrows. Determine where exactly the hairs should begin, and where to end.
If a girl has naturally thick eyebrows that need only to be slightly adjusted from time to time, then it is entirely possible to limit herself to home-based self-care. The main thing is to do this procedure regularly so as not to trigger eyebrows. In another case, it is better to contact a specialist.
Correction Methods
To date, there are many methods for designing hairs, which differ from each other by the type of instrument, the degree of pain of the procedure, and also the time of its implementation. It is worth listing the main tools.
- Tweezers - This is the most common tool for correcting the shape and removing excess hair. Everyone can work with such a tool, this does not require a special skill, however, there are still some nuances of interacting with tweezers. For example, when plucking, it is extremely important to clamp the hair at its very base, and pull it out with a sharp movement in the direction of growth, which will prevent the hair from breaking off and the appearance of ugly black dots. It is also important before and after the procedure to thoroughly disinfect the skin and the instrument with ordinary alcohol wipes or cotton pads moistened in a special solution. The disadvantage of this correction method is the long time that you have to spend on the procedure.
However, in just a few procedures, the skill will appear, and time will be much less. In addition, with a regular procedure of this kind, eyebrows will always be well-groomed and beautiful.
- Wax. This method of removing excess hair has a long and lasting result. At the same time, the procedure is rather painful. But it will be possible to solve the problem with pain with the help of special ointments with an anesthetic effect. In addition, it is quite difficult to independently remove excess hairs with wax. To do this, you need to contact the salon.
- Thread. Hair removal with a thread is considered one of the oldest methods. The main disadvantage of this procedure is that it is far from immediately possible to get used to the thread. But in its effect, this method is not inferior to others.
- Razor. Today, many beauty salons offer to make perfect straight eyebrows with a special razor. The result will be amazing, painless and quick. However, new hairs will appear a few days after the procedure.
The choice of the most suitable eyebrow correction method depends on personal preferences and the desired result.
Staining methods
The main feature of fashionable straight eyebrows is their density. It is hardly possible to create luxurious sable eyebrows, if by nature the girl has only a few thin hairs. But do not worry, because everything can be solved with the help of several cosmetic procedures. For example, preliminary dyeing helps to isolate everything, even the thinnest and lightest hairs. It will help not only to make the eyebrows thicker, but also to qualitatively remove all excess hairs.
There are two options for staining eyebrows: with henna and paint. The fundamental difference between henna and paint is that henna dyes not only hair but also skin. Therefore, it is important to be extremely careful when painting, so as not to make an irregular shape. However, even in the case of a poor result, you can always correct the painted area using a special tool - a remover. And the effect of henna staining lasts about a month, while the paint stays on the hairs for about 2 weeks.
And also there are modern permanent procedures that allow you to maintain a beautiful shape of eyebrows for several years. These include tattooing and microblading. The first version of the permanent procedure is already somewhat outdated, because it had a lot of flaws: it darkened over time, was very noticeable and stood out on the face. At the same time, the modern microblading procedure does not have such disadvantages. Its fundamental difference is that each hair is drawn separately. Therefore, the result looks natural and beautiful and lasts more than one year. The main thing when painting is to choose high-quality paint from trusted brands, as well as the right shade.
The color of the eyebrow dye should be slightly darker than the shade of the hair or in tone with it.
Design steps
Some girls think that straight eyebrows are easy to create, but that’s not entirely true. It is important to identify three main points: the beginning, a barely noticeable peak and the end. To do this, you need to arm yourself with a thin brush or pencil and carry out several actions.
- Create a line from the outside of the wing of the nose to the corner of the eye using the selected tool. It is at this point that the eyebrow hairs should begin. It should be noted with a white or any other cosmetic pencil.
- It is worth drawing a line from the wing of the nose through the edge of the iris, but not through its middle. At this point, there will be a slight rise in the eyebrow, if the selected correction option suggests it.
- The line should go through the outer edge of the eye, where the eyebrow will end.
It is necessary to mark all these points and connect them with smooth lines with a pencil. Care must be taken to ensure that both eyebrows are symmetrical.
If the hairs go into a bend, although it is assumed that this should not be in this place, then they should be safely removed. And also do not neglect the correction of the eyebrow from its upper part.
Makeup
To emphasize the beautiful shape and width of straight eyebrows, you will need:
- a shadow or pencil of a suitable shade;
- beveled brush;
- clear fixing gel or wax;
- corrector;
- highlighter.
First you need to carefully comb the hairs, lifting them up, which will allow you to see exactly in which places there are gaps that later need to be filled with shadows. When working with pigment, you need to remember that the head of the eyebrow must be lighter than its base. You need to create a gradient, otherwise the eyebrows will look unnatural, and the face will gain a frown. And also do not make eyebrows too sharp.
After working with shadows or a pencil, it’s worth typing a little corrector on a thin beveled brush and draw a few neat lines under and above the eyebrow to make the shape perfect. In conclusion, a little highlighter should be applied under the eyebrow, which will give the look expressiveness and freshness. If you apply the above tips, you can achieve the perfect shape of straight eyebrows.
