How to paint eyebrows with a pencil?

The eyes of a woman always attract attention, so women always strive to highlight them. But without eyebrows and eyelashes, they would not have such an effect, so care for this component of our face is an integral part of female makeup

The fashion for the shape and color of eyebrows has repeatedly changed. Thin strings, wide and thick, an absolute absence - all these stages were observed in the beauty industry. Today, women seek to give naturalness to their image, therefore, eyebrows should in every way emphasize the natural beauty of their possessor.

Let's figure out how to determine the shape and color of eyebrows, how you can give them a beautiful shape.

The size of the eyebrow line is of great importance, and in this case you do not need to look at your friends, repeating the image you like. Each face is individual, it has its own dimensions and proportions, therefore it requires an individual approach.

The shape of the eyebrows can vary greatly. Arched, raised, straight, with a kink, a "house" - all options are beautiful, the main thing is to choose the one that is suitable specifically for your type of face.

Determining your face type is quite simple. It is necessary to smoothly comb all the hair back so that it does not fall on the face. Then go to the mirror and “circle” your reflection directly on the mirror.Then compare the result with options for possible forms. If you can’t do it yourself, you can turn to stylists or makeup artists who can easily determine the type of your face and help you choose the most suitable shape for your eyebrows.

The shape of the face is of the following types:

• round;
• square;
• rectangular;
• triangular;
• oval;
• diamond-shaped.

If you have wide cheekbones and a smooth, slightly pronounced chin, then you have a round face. Such a face looks wide enough, and the shape of the eyebrows can help it stretch out a little. In this case, you can give the eyebrows a broken line, as the rounded line will round the shape even more.

An important point is the break point.It should not be very sharp so that the eyebrow does not look like a house. The hairs should gradually bend in the direction of the temple, otherwise the child’s surprised look “a la Pierrot” cannot be avoided.

Thin eyebrows are also not recommended, wide lines are much more suitable for this type of face.

This face shape is a dream of any girl, since almost all eyebrow options suit an oval face. The most organic are the curved lines of medium width. The rise is best done smoothly without sharp breaks. Too low eyebrows are best avoided as they give a frown to this type of face. It is better not to sharpen the tips of the eyebrows.

This is a rather heavy type of face that needs to be carefully selected to shape the eyebrows. Otherwise, the chin will appear too massive and heavy, because of which the face will lose its femininity. Gentle curved or rounded eyebrows can correct and smooth heavy features.

Avoid sharp corners and broken kinks. Do not sharpen the tip of the eyebrow. Eyebrows that are too thin will make the image heavier, so it’s better to choose a thick beginning of the eyebrow that would thin out very gradually.

A person of this type can be recognized by the distance between the temples and cheekbones, it is approximately equal. The chin is usually narrow. Due to the wide cheekbones and small chin, the face appears heavy and massive. Straight eyebrows of medium width, gradually sharpening - the best solution for this type of face.

The triangular face is also called heart-shaped. It really looks like a heart, as the forehead is wide and the cheekbones are narrow. A pointed chin is also characteristic of such a person. It is best for such ladies to stop on a slightly curved shape with a slight rise. Soft and smooth bend perfectly balances the face.

Straight eyebrows are not recommended, the face will be very rude. The width is better to choose the average.

Owners of this form are quite rare. This type can be recognized by eyes wide apart, wide cheekbones and a narrowed chin. For a harmonious perception, it is better for such girls to arrange their eyebrows with a high bend with a thinning tip. Straight, too sharp lines are strongly discouraged.

For a quick correction, most girls prefer a make-up pencil. The tool is effective and inexpensive, in addition, it is present in every women's cosmetic bag. Its difference from an eyeliner is that the stylus should be tougher than a conventional eyeliner. If the stylus is too soft, then drawing thin strokes that mimic the hairs will be impossible. They will inevitably be lubricated.

There are two main types of eyebrow pencils: regular and with a twisting rod. Using a twisting device is very convenient, the tip of such a pencil is always sharp. But, as practice shows, the retractable stylus ends very quickly. Makeup costs are increasing.

An ordinary pencil is not inferior in its properties to twisting modelsbut you have to constantly monitor the sharpness of the tip. For sharpening, a special sharpener is used, which looks like a regular clerical, but the sharpness of the blade is much greater. Such sharpeners often come with pencils, but can also be sold separately.

To dye eyebrows, do not use eyeliner. It has a too soft and oily stem. The drawn lines will be too bold and sloppy, and if it gets hot, the paint may leak.

Makeup artists recommend paying attention to such models of eyebrow pencils:

Choosing a shade for drawing eyebrows is very important, since an incorrectly selected shade can spoil the image of any, even the most beautiful girl. The choice of color is greatly influenced by the type of skin, eye color, shade of hair and the general color type of the woman.

The main rule that makeup artists recommend paying attention to is that dark-haired ladies should choose a pencil lighter 2 or 3 shades lighter than hair. And for blondes, shades of 2 or 3 tones darker are better than their curls.

The tone of the pencil should occupy a middle place between the eyelashes and curls. If you are afraid to experiment and get confused in all the variety of shades, then just pick a tone that is as close as possible to your natural hair color. It’s difficult to deceive nature, so the natural color of the eyebrows will definitely not ruin your image.

Stylists do not advise blondes to emphasize eyebrows too much and use very dark shades. The face will lose its tenderness. The best option is gray, beige and light shades of brown.

If eyebrows are generally colorless, then light brown tones or light gray will help to distinguish them.Different shades will add freshness to blond beauties, but not darker than by 2-3 tones of hair color. With highlighted hair, you should focus on your natural shade.

Dark-haired beauties should not stop at shades to match the hair. Facial features will be quite rough and sharp. It is better to focus on chocolate or different variations of brown tones. Only if a girl has very dark skin, then only in this case black eyebrows in combination with very dark hair can suit her.

These girls need to control the combination of their hair color and eye shade. If the hair is walnut or light brown and the eyes are light green or blue, then it is better to emphasize the eyebrows to give the face expressive and bright features. In this case, the pencil should be slightly darker than the hair. If the eyes are brown or dark green, then too dark eyebrows will stand out very much on the face. Choose a shade slightly lighter than the color of your hair. This will give the face a fresh and softer look.

For such girls, the color of the eyebrows is similar, so the advice on choosing will be about the same. For owners of fiery hair, all shades of brown and terracotta tones are suitable. If the skin is too light and has a pinkish tint, then it is better to stay on light gray or ash tones.

Light-brown or ashy shades are suitable for gray-eyed and blue-eyed, as well as light green eyes. For girls with black or dark brown eyes, makeup artists are advised to choose dark brown tones.

You can quickly draw beautiful eyebrows yourself at home, without the help of stylists. Drawing does not take much time, if it is good to prepare the eyebrows for the procedure.

First you need to remove excess hair and determine your ideal shape.

It is necessary to carry out the following manipulations in front of the mirror to determine the beginning, fracture line and tip of the eyebrow:

1. Stand at home in front of the mirror. Any thin and long object (stick, pencil, ruler) draw a virtual line connecting the wing of the nose and the inner corner of the eye. Eyebrows should start from this line.
2. The next line visually connects the lower edge of the chin and the center of the pupil. This point should be the highest. At this point a bend forms.
3. The eyebrow should end at the line that visually connects the wing of the nose and the outer edge of the eye.

Below is a step-by-step description of how to draw beautiful eyebrows:

• Using a special brush, comb the eyebrows and point the hairs up.
• Bring the bottom edge of the eyebrow with a pencil.
• Then carry out the same manipulation with the second eyebrow. The lines should be the same.

• After that, comb the hairs down and make a contour from above. The upper contour at the inner base of the eyebrow should be thinner and more transparent than at its tip.
• Then the space between the two lines is painted over with small dashes no more than 5 mm in the direction from the base to the tip in the direction of hair growth. The shading of the base should be less bright, and by the end of the eyebrow the color should be enhanced better.
• All strokes must be shaded with a special brush so that strokes are not visible.
• In order to give the look more expressiveness, and visually raise the eyebrow line, you can bring the lower edge with a light corrector, slightly shading it.

For perfect makeup, stylists advise adhere to some rules and recommendations:

• If your eyebrows grow asymmetrically, then it is better not to pull out unnecessary hairs, but to trim carefully with small scissors.
• After makeup, you can apply a little wax on the eyebrows, then they will keep the desired shape all day.
• You do not need to apply foundation on the skin around the eyebrows, as a pencil can slip and the strokes will be fuzzy.

• Do not put too much paint, as it will be seen that the eyebrows are drawn. The effect should be natural. You need to strengthen the color from the beginning of the eyebrow to its completion.
• Carefully ensure that the borders of the eyebrows do not go beyond the outlined frames. Too long or wide eyebrows look unnatural.
• If gray hair appears in the eyebrows, then dark pencils are not recommended.
• When choosing your own shade, use daylight, as any artificial light changes the perception of color.

• If you can’t finely sharpen the pencil, you can put it in the refrigerator for a while.
• With age, it is better to abandon too wide eyebrows. They will give even more years to their owner.
• During the correction, it is not necessary to pull out the upper hairs, as they are brighter, better set the shape of the entire eyebrow line. Only the lower hairs are plucked.

The concept of “perfect eyebrows” is rather arbitrary. Fashion trends are changing, and after them the idea of ​​beauty is changing. Different eras have changed the image of a woman from courageous brutal to gentle romantic. And a significant role in this was played by female eyebrows.

The most important thing today is grooming. Neat lines give the hostess a luxurious look. Do not forget to make corrections in time, to cut and pluck out hairs that are wrinkled. You can use caring oils so that the hairs are dense and shiny.

Smooth lines, gradual bends and natural colors are a huge success today. Thin strings are a thing of the past, moderately wide eyebrows are in fashion.

The lines, as a rule, are very smooth, the bends are light, the width is average. The main thing is to emphasize the natural shade and give the hairs a healthy look. This type is suitable for absolutely any female.

This form came to us from the stars of the western tabloids. Wide eyebrows have found their fans and remain in demand today. If nature has not awarded you a decent width, then you can activate sleeping onions with burdock or castor oil. These tools are widely used in cosmetologists to accelerate the growth of hair and eyelashes. But in the process of growth, it is necessary to control the growth of hairs, cutting them in a timely manner and plucking the excess so that the eyebrows do not lose their accuracy and are symmetrical.

A new trend has recently become fashionable, but has already found its fans. Despite the fact that the sloppy look looks a little messy, the eyebrows should be maintained in order and combed regularly. To give natural negligence, the hairs at the base of the eyebrow thin out a little. This type is very refreshing to the face. But you must choose it carefully. Too old ladies this type will not add freshness, but will give the face a groomed look.

A rare woman is born with perfect eyebrows, but everyone can learn to make them like that. A correctly selected pencil, a well-designed eyebrow line, a beautiful harmonious shade - and beautiful eyebrows will always emphasize the expressiveness of your eyes.
