Eyebrow correction: types and design methods

Every woman strives to be as attractive and well-groomed as possible. Modern women have a whole arsenal of affordable and professional means for this. Someone focuses on hairstyle, others enlarge lips or even change the shape of the nose. Many today have eyebrow correction. It is not for nothing that this close attention is paid to this part of the face. Eyebrows in the literal sense can make the mood of our day. And hastily, unevenly made up can spoil it until the very evening.

Of course, it would be ideal if the eyebrows were adjusted only slightly, as close as possible to their natural form. But unfortunately, not all women were rewarded with the correct harmonious line of eyebrows by all nature. Correctly and accurately selected form in accordance with the general parameters of the face can successfully emphasize the beauty of the owner and even completely change the facial expressions and expressiveness. So, the hairs that are too thick at the bridge of the nose make the facial expression stern, and the outer corners, which are lowered downwards, make the face look dull.

Since ancient times, ladies have changed the natural look of their eyebrows in accordance with fashion trends. In Ancient Russia there were "sable", luxurious thick eyebrows held in high esteem. Those whom nature has not endowed with thick hair, have stained them with special paint. In the twentieth century, a trend came to the line of thread, thin, elegant. Now they suffered from pain and imperfection of the owner of a thick eyebrow. The latest trends in fashion and makeup are more humane. They propagate the naturalness given by nature.At the same time, the growth line should be well-groomed, neatly designed, consistent with the color type and in harmony with the oval of the face.

If you are not satisfied with the form given from birth, it means that you have to turn to the correction procedure. Before choosing one of the many existing methods for this, you should find out the features, pros and cons of each of them. At the same time, your natural data mean a lot. It is also important to consider factors such as: pain threshold and individual sensitivity, the time you are willing to spend on a monthly correction, the degree of desired changes (you can slightly correct the natural shape or radically change the eyebrow line and even facial expression).

Typically, an adjustment involves several steps. First determine the shape of the face. Then from several usually 2-3 suitable forms, the most suitable is selected in accordance with personal wishes. Then they outline the future shape and remove unnecessary hairs. The next step, if necessary, paint on the missing.

The look of future eyebrows is important. After all, the completeness of the image will completely depend on it, the expression of the face can also change. Correctly made correction can, along with a haircut, balance the oval of the face.

There are a lot of different forms, but they all come down to five main types.

1. Round eyebrows are considered classics. They soften the features and make the hostess more feminine.
2. Curved eyebrows give the look confidence and some mystery.
3. Straight lines help highlight the oval of the face.
4. A clear bend of the line is youthful and gives the entire facial expression lightness.
5. A soft transition line, along with a rounded shape gives femininity and mystery.

In order for the eyebrows in their new form to emphasize the beauty of their owner, it is necessary to combine their shape with the type of oval face. Professionals define it by eye. The oval variety of the face is characterized by a slight narrowing in the frontal and chin area. The widest place is the cheekbones. The chin is neat and rounded in this case. This form is considered classic. Her lucky owners almost any kind of eyebrow fits perfectly. It is not necessary only during correction to leave the outer corners of the eyebrows too lowered or to place a noticeable emphasis on the beginning of the inner corner (drawing a kind of “comma” head).

A round face is characterized by soft bends and the complete absence of sharp corners. It is almost the same in longitudinal and transverse dimensions. To balance the parameters of the face and stretch it a little in length, eyebrows with a rather steep bend will help. The main thing is that the hairline at the eyebrows does not slide down and does not extend far beyond the end of the eyelid. A heart-shaped face has very different upper and lower parts. The forehead of such girls is often high and wide, cheekbones stand out brightly. The chin seems even narrower or more pointed against such a background. From the cheekbones to the chin, the face narrows quite sharply. A classic shape of eyebrows with light bends is suitable for such a person.

Elongated is a person whose length is much greater than the width. Moreover, the woman has high cheekbones and forehead. The lower part of the face may be slightly pointed. Almost straight eyebrows with a smooth, slightly noticeable bend can balance the proportions of the face oval. It is better if they are of medium density. Owners of a square-shaped face will have to soften their natural angular shapes. Their forehead, cheekbones and cheeks are almost equal in width. The chin is also usually square with distinct angles. This appearance will be decorated with horizontal straight eyebrows with a line starting and ending at almost the same height.Such eyebrows should not be narrow and sparse.

The diamond-shaped oval of the face is characterized by a line of cheekbones much wider than the forehead and chin. The cheekbones in this case will be quite high. The chin may have a narrow or pointed shape. For a diamond-shaped face, eyebrows with an arc with smooth bends are perfect. If you don’t know yet what kind of face shape you are, simple measurements will help. Make it easier with a good large photo, where you are shown full face (look directly in front of you with a straight body).

In order to determine the size of the face, measure the length from the tip of the chin to the beginning of the hairline on the forehead. We divide this number into three: this is the first parameter for comparison. Then measure the length from the base of the nose to the bottom of the chin: this is the next parameter. Now both measurements must be compared. If they are roughly related, then the face is oval or round. When the first dimension prevails, the face is in the shape of a rhombus. If, on the contrary, the numerical value of the second parameter is greater, then the shape is square or elongated.

There are also more rare forms of “heart”, “inverted triangle”, or even a combination of several types. In this case, the desired type of eyebrows is selected individually for greater harmony with other appearance parameters. If you cannot decide in any way, then you should trust a specialist with experience and good taste and sense of proportion. According to experts, there are some of the most common universal recommendations that are true for any desired shape of the eyebrows.

With a round oval of the face with expressive cheekbones, wide eyebrows will only emphasize the massiveness of the features. The angular architecture of the face can be slightly softened by slightly shortening the hairline from the outer edge. If you want to look younger, then the outer end of the eyebrow will be shortened and slightly raised towards the temporal regions. Do not overstate the natural line of the hairs and paint the eyebrows in the form of a comma with a distinctly drawn inner angle. This gives the face a slightly infantile and silly expression. In general, the entire correction up to staining should look as natural as possible and not be striking at the first glance at you.

The easiest way for women with a classic oval face shape: they suit virtually any type. The main thing at the same time is not to overdo it with the bending line of the eyebrows so that the face does not look constantly surprised. Eyebrows with a moderate but expressive bend will help to adjust a too round face. You can also slightly increase the rise. If the face is angular (square or reminds a rhombus), then curved eyebrows will help to soften it. The straight line at the eyebrows is simply created for an elongated face. But the soft bend of the oval eyebrow will visually equalize the pointed chin.

If you decide to adjust your eyebrows yourself, do not use a razor for this. The skin around the eyes is quite delicate. The result, of course, seduces with its speed, but the hairs will grow back just as quickly. In addition, they can become even more rigid and sticking out or even begin to grow into the skin. Tweezers are the most common and necessary tool. It should be quite comfortable. Choose it for yourself, depending on the amount of hair removed. This determines the configuration of the exciting part.

Straight tip tweezers are a classic look for someone who will not pluck hairs on their own. They are usually used by professionals in salons. The tool with beveled ends is the most versatile for independent use. It makes the sensation of the procedure less painful than a regular tool.Sharp-pointed tweezers help to more accurately adjust the line when removing a small number of hairs separately.

In addition, you will need an eyebrow brush, a cosmetic pencil, a mirror (preferably with a slight increase), cotton pads or tampons, and a disinfectant. To reduce pain, in accordance with personal preferences, you can use ice cubes or hot compresses.

So, if you managed to determine the facial type and the desired shape of the eyebrows, you can independently carry out a simple procedure for correcting eyebrows at home. With proper skill and experience, it will not take a lot of time. This method is especially recommended for lowered or thin irregularly shaped eyebrows. In this case, you can easily adjust the hairline at home by yourself.

The advantages of the procedure are its simplicity and accessibility. Of course, it will have to be carried out more often than other types of adjustments. But if you remove individual hairs periodically (once a week), then the eyebrows will always look neat. The disadvantage of plucking is the soreness of the procedure. But here everything is very individual and depends on your own pain threshold. Over time, the pain seems to dull.

Before performing the correction, it is necessary to outline the general contour, the future bend and the desired thickness of the eyebrows. To do this, using a pencil (simple or cosmetic), we find the control points of the future drawing. Both eyebrows should be performed in the adjustment symmetrical with each other, that is, be the same in length, height and angle of fracture (or bend). First you need to outline control points for this purpose. The start point of the eyebrow is one reference mark. To determine it, we apply a thin instrument or ruler to the nose: the line will go through the inner corner of the eye and the side of the nose.

The second mark controls the height of the eyebrow after adjustment. To find it, draw a straight line from the middle of the upper part of the lip to the eyebrow at the intersection of the line with the pupil. This will be the farthest point of the eyebrow line. The final mark for the length of the eyebrow is determined by drawing a straight line, almost the same as the first. She will go through the outer sidewall of the nose to the outer corner of the eye. If the correction was made correctly at home, then the facial expression before working on and after the appearance can be very different. Determine this will help the photo.

Step-by-step instructions for eyebrow correction look like this.

1. After determining the desired contour of the eyebrows and preparing the necessary tools, you should start the correction. Before starting work, it is necessary to treat the tweezers with alcohol or another disinfectant.
2. We comb the eyebrows with a small brush, combing that part of the hairs that will be removed down. We remove the rest in the opposite direction.
3. We connect all three control marks found earlier in a smooth line using a regular pencil. Those areas that we will not touch, shaded with a cosmetic pencil.
4. Now pre-disinfect the area with which we will work. Hair is plucked one at a time in the direction of growth (this technique helps to reduce soreness of sensations).
5. Experts recommend working with each eyebrow in turn a little. This way you can avoid mistakes and achieve the best symmetrical result.

If you have little time, or if you are not completely sure of your skills, then it is best to contact the master. In addition, professional correction for women over fifty will also be convenient.With age, facial hair growth due to a change in hormonal levels may increase. At the same time, age-related changes also affect eyebrows. Eyebrow correction at a fairly good level is done in almost any beauty salon. You can find the services most suitable for you according to the recommendations of your friends and acquaintances. So, you can visually evaluate the work of the master, because your opinions about perfect eyebrows may not coincide.

If you decide to change the eyebrow line for the first time, then in this case it will also be useful to contact a beauty salon. Then a beautiful appearance will be much easier to maintain at home. The professional will make the choice of form instantly, and the work itself, regardless of the type of correction selected, will take no more than half an hour.

Depending on the thickness of the hair, the procedure will take from 10 to 20 minutes. To reduce sensitivity to the treated surface, an anesthetic or hot compress is applied. The hair is removed one at a time with a grab at the root. Experts advise to carry out the procedure from 11 am to 3 pm. It is believed that at this time, people have the lowest sensitivity threshold.

This procedure was born in the east, and now it is successfully carried out in beauty salons around the world. It is attractive in that the effect after it persists for a rather long time (up to 4 weeks). During the procedure, you can get rid of not only unwanted dark hair, but also from a small gun. Some argue that this technique can be mastered independently at home. Gradually, with the acquisition of the skill, it will be possible to spend no more than 20 minutes on the removal of hairs, with due care and scrupulous approach to the process.

The procedure involves the use of cotton thread for correction. Its duration is 20-30 minutes. The thread is folded into a special loop in which the master grabs hair for subsequent removal. It is preferred by those who avoid contact with tools in the salons. Also, the method is attractive due to the absence of irritation on the skin and almost painlessness. If you have high sensitivity, then you will be offered a special cream.

This type of work helps to remove the shortest and smallest hairs. At the same time, the skin remains perfect for at least a month. Warm wax is applied using special sticks to the skin with hair. Then the treated surface is covered with a cloth. After the wax solution has set, pieces of tissue are carefully removed. The whole procedure takes no more than 15 minutes.

Such a correction is not recommended at home, since with a lack of experience, you can immediately remove a large area of ​​hairline. It will be very troublesome to fix the consequences of such a failure.

Most of the fair sex after the correction procedure also make eyebrow dyeing. It gives the eyes expressiveness, and the eyebrow line even more accuracy and clarity. It is important at the same time to correctly place the emphasis so that the eyebrows are not much brighter than the hair on the head. The ideal is a difference in two tones.

Some women are naturally given inexpressive, too light or sparse eyebrows. In this case, staining will also help. It can be long-term and for a short period. Staining will help and just beautifully highlight a clear line, and paint over randomly removed extra hairs. Among the short-term staining methods, three main ones are distinguished.

Using an eyebrow pencil, you can tweak virtually any shape and thickness. To do this, its color should be as close as possible to the natural color of the hair.Apply it with small short dashed lines along the hair growth. Recently, it has been fashionable to use special eyebrow shadows. They give a more natural and beautiful effect with proper shading. To work looked good, some practice is needed.

The modeling gel is applied with a special brush. Slight fixation throughout the day allows you to maintain the desired shape of the eyebrow. Some are not attracted to the classic correction of eyebrows due to its troublesomeness and the need to repeat periodically. In other cases, eyebrows are naturally asymmetrical or the hairs do not lie as they should. Then you should turn to eyebrow tattooing, which is carried out on a long-term basis. This method will allow you to enjoy the perfect shape of the eyebrows for many months. It is important to choose the right wizard, as the result will remain with you for a long time.

When using tattooing, first with a pencil is drawn how the eyebrow will look in perspective. If you like the result, then special coloring pigments are introduced under the top layer of the skin. With an individually low pain threshold, the master can offer mild analgesia. If you decide to get a tattoo, then you should know that the procedure has many contraindications. It is not made pregnant and minors suffering from diabetes mellitus and patients with hypertension. Also, the procedure is contraindicated in inflammatory diseases.

There are also methods of staining with special resistant paints or henna. In this case, the composition is applied only to the hairline, without affecting the skin.

Owners of eyebrows without a clearly defined shape or sparse, slightly visible on the face, such a procedure as modeling is quite suitable. It is often confused with correction, but this is not entirely true. Eyebrow correction suggests that their natural shape will not be too changed, but only some imperfections, irregularities in the growth of the hair line will be corrected or too thick hair will be thinned.

When modeling, there is a cardinal change in the natural shape, color of the eyebrows. Their so-called "architecture" of the structure of the eyebrow arch and even the whole face is completely changing. Often, modeling is preceded by correction. It is also important to consider many nuances before the procedure, such as: the shape of the face oval, the degree of hair growth, the shape of the eyes, hair color and type of haircut, modern trends in makeup fashion.

The procedure requires a sufficient amount of time: from 40 minutes to an hour. It begins with the selection of the desired shape and density of the eyebrows. If they are too thick, then the hairs are partially removed using various methods: classical plucking, cotton thread removal (Eastern method), wax or laser hair removal. Also in the salon you can be offered the removal of unwanted hair from the eyebrow area using strips of sugar paste.

In some cases, eyebrows are trimmed with a special trimmer or special scissors. Such an event is carried out if the prominent hairs violate the general growth line or if you need to trim the upper hair line. If the eyebrows, on the contrary, are too light or rare, then they use tattooing, staining or microblading. The choice depends on the desired long-term makeup and the individual characteristics of the body, taking into account contraindications to certain types of procedures. For example, microblading, popular today, is not recommended for girls with European appearance because of their thin skin. This method came from the East and is well suited for representatives of the Asian race, who have a thicker skin.

The next step is eyebrow makeup, which is carried out using a variety of cosmetics: pencils, lipstick, gel, eyeshadow, eyeliner for eyebrows. Whatever tool is chosen, it should be remembered that it must be applied as accurately as possible. The lines should not be too wide or long. Make up with thin, short strokes, imitating natural hair growth.

When choosing a shade for tinting eyebrows, you should remember a few simple rules. Black color goes only to burning brunettes. The rest is better to choose a tone 2-3 shades darker than the color of their hair. So the makeup will look the most harmonious. It’s also not worth choosing a tone-on-tone solution for hair, otherwise the eyebrows will look too faded or may merge with the hair at all (especially if there is a bang).

Before the simulation procedure, it is important to go through a small preparatory stage. Then the result will be better. A week before the expected date, do not pluck the hair from the eyebrows. For a couple of days, it is good to peel the periobral zone. This should be done carefully, since the skin around the eyes is quite thin, it is easy to injure or cause inflammation.

With daily correction at home, a pencil is most often used. To do the job you will need the thinnest rod of medium softness. The drawing is performed with short jerky movements in the direction of hair growth. Dashes should be noticeable, but not too bright. It is advisable to choose a color to match your hair on the eyebrows.

Feathers are used for the most natural effect. Professionals can perform them with a thin brush or a special sponge. At home, you can make shading on the side or fingertips. Also, eyebrows or pastes that are now popular are used for this purpose. They come in different color shades in the set for the most appropriate selection, since at different times of the year the color of the hair at the eyebrows can change (for example, burn out). The color of the shadows for shading is used a little lighter than the tone of the pencil used to make the eyebrows.

Recently, manufacturers produce pencils with wax admixtures, which makes makeup more resistant. This technology saves time.
