When it comes to eyebrow correction, it can be difficult to find the right shape; an individual approach is needed. Before starting work, it is better to make certain measurements, for which a plastic ruler is used to model eyebrows. Beginners may not know how to use the flexible option for marking the future contour, but experienced masters have already appreciated the convenience of this tool.
What is it like?
Initially, a plastic line was used in tattoo parlors when designing stencils. However, the ease of use and low cost of the instrument contributed to its relocation to beauty salons. The line for modeling is a soft plastic strip with printed divisions with a resolution of 1 millimeter. Using the ruler, it is possible to create a perfectly symmetrical pattern or, if the client has a noticeable asymmetry of the face, perform a new pattern along the contour and location of the growth of natural hairs.
Subtleties of choice
A high-quality ruler for eyebrows is made of good, smooth, pleasant to the touch plastic without odor, teeth, roughness and abrasions. Plastic bends well, maintaining its strength. When buying a tool, it is important to make sure that the manufacturer claims hypoallergenicity of the material used. The points marked on the ruler with a marker or pencil should be clearly visible and easy to wash off.
Divisions should be applied with a resistant, indelible paint during processing and disinfection. It is more convenient to use a transparent tool, which provides good visibility of the line of the superciliary arches.
Disposable Options
Nowadays, disposable flexible stencils for thorough drawing are gaining popularity. Their advantages include the following nuances.
- Sterility and lack of need for disinfection. Many customers prefer disposable tools that the master prints on their eyes and discards them immediately after use. Disposable rulers save time because you don’t need to process them.
- Ease of use. Disposable stencils are equipped with an adhesive layer that allows you to fix the ruler on the client’s face without the slightest discomfort for the duration of the procedure.
- Reliability. You can be sure that the stencil will not move anywhere.
- Custom Stencil Drawing speeds up work, since the master can draw a stencil as he pleases, not paying attention to additional or erroneous lines.
The disadvantages of disposable tools are traditionally its cost. When handled with care, the plastic flexible ruler lasts a long time. Acquiring a reusable product line pays off quickly, while disposable supplies are bought over and over.
What to prefer - the master decides. Someone prefers to work with a proven tool, someone is more important than the time saved on cleaning the line.
Why are measurements so important?
During the day, a man laughs, frowns, skeptically arches an eyebrow, pinches a corner of his mouth, grins wryly. Thus, the face may be slightly asymmetric, which is invisible to others with the natural shape of the eyebrow, but it will immediately catch the eye if they are incorrectly corrected.
A master who will make perfectly symmetrical eyebrows can render a client a bad service, emphasizing the unnaturalness of her new look.
Measurement and determination of the shape before cosmetic manipulations guarantee perfect drawing after the procedure. Using simple calculations personalizes the data, allowing you to make an informed choice of the future onion.
The measurement result resembles an irregular quadrangle. The master will be able to repeat the design every time, the contours will be the same in shape, height and length. Measurements will help draw an adjacent contour so that the face looks symmetrical. For measurements, the master selects the "best" eyebrow - with the most even, smooth hairs.
Interesting: if a person is right-handed, then his “best” eyebrow is most likely on the left. This is due to the lower likelihood of overloading the facial muscles on the other side of the "working" arm.
Contour definition
Before starting work, the master stencil notes the natural line of hair growth. Then, after discussing the necessary changes with the client, a new stencil is drawn. To determine where to start drawing, bending and ending, you must perform the following steps.
- Find a starting point. The ruler is located vertically upward to the forehead, on an imaginary line from the center of the nostril, intersecting with the highest point of the line of hairs. This place is marked by a vertical line, which corresponds to the natural thickness and height of the eyebrows.
- Find the beginning of an eyebrow bend. The ruler is positioned vertically on or near the imaginary edge of the iris. Where it crosses the upper line of hair growth, there should be a bend. An incorrectly positioned dot gives the effect of a "surprised raised eyebrow."
- Define the end point. The ruler leans from the outer edge of the nostril to the outer corner of the eye. At the point where the ruler intersects the brow arc, you should finish drawing. Compliance with this rule is crucial in creating the entire contour, since it is impossible to underestimate the line of hairs unnecessarily, this inadvertently makes the girl always look sad or tired.
The resulting template has been used for a long time to correct the shape.When accessing the same master again, the key points of the new drawing will be set faster and easier.
Drawing
The resulting points and lines are connected in order to see exactly where to draw or remove hair, how to adjust the shape, draw eyebrows with a pencil or use powder.
Be sure to consider not only the shape of the natural bend, but also the type of face shape. Broad-line women will not fit wide-cheeked women, and narrow “butterfly wings” are contraindicated for women with a round face. The individuality of the elongated oval face is emphasized by eyebrows arched a little more than usual.
If the resulting eyebrow is a bit short, starting point adjustment may be required. To do this, the length of the eyebrow increases by several millimeters towards the center of the nostril. If the shape of the eyebrow was initially incorrectly adjusted, it will take a long time to restore the hairs and draw a new shape.
Due to the asymmetry of the face, an imaginary straight line passing through the middle of the forehead should not be taken as the main starting line. It is much more accurate to determine the shape of the eyebrow separately for the left and right half of the face.
For marks on the face, a marker or cosmetic pencil is used. The resulting pattern at the request of the client can be supplemented and modified, based on the originally created natural eyebrow pattern.
Before starting work, the client’s skin must be degreased and disinfected with an alcohol solution.
Girls and women sometimes forget that eyebrows are an important part of their appearance. Well-groomed neat eyebrows, suitable in shape to the contours of the face, help in creating a harmonious image. Eyebrows emphasize the expressiveness of the eyes, helping to look stylish even without makeup.
