Eyebrows: rules and techniques for creating a perfect shape

One way to quickly transform the appearance by visually hiding the “problem” areas of the face is to change the shape of the eyebrows. Unfortunately, if it is selected without taking into account individual characteristics, even the most attractive person can acquire an unnatural, dull, gloomy or overly surprised look. How to correct and color eyebrows?

Eyebrows can change facial expression beyond recognition. That is why it is so important to learn how to choose the right shape. Too thin or unnatural eyebrows make the face artificial. For girls with fine features, excessively wide eyebrows should become taboo, they look comical.

In general, the procedure cannot be called complicated if you arm yourself with suitable tools and the necessary knowledge.

Conditionally, the correction can be divided into long-term and short-term. By long-term mean microblading, tattooing, the effect after which lasts for a period of one to several years.

A short-term correction will continue until the hairs begin to grow back. On average, it is 2-3 weeks.

Eyebrow correction is a procedure with violation of the integrity of the skin, so it is important to ensure its safety. It is about disinfecting the work area, hands and materials, as well as disinfecting the eyebrow area after the procedure.

There are several common forms of eyebrows, however, before considering their features, it is necessary to determine some terms. The beginning, or the head of the eyebrow, originates from the nose.The middle part or body - this is the main area of ​​the eyebrow, includes a bend. The tip is also called the tail, usually it is already the head and body of the eyebrow.

Regardless of the type chosen, the ideal shape assumes that 2/3 of the eyebrows fall on the head and body, and only 1/3 is the tip of the eyebrow after breaking.

Depending on the points at which the head and the tip lie, such forms are distinguished as:

• Straight. At the same time, the head and tail lie in the same plane, due to which it is possible to visually make the forehead wider and “fix” the too elongated face.
• Ascending. The head is located just above the tip, the latter is usually directed to the temples. Thanks to this form, it is possible to narrow the face a little and stretch it.
• Descending. The tip of the eyebrow is slightly higher than the head - this form is usually not used, and if this is the natural appearance of the eyebrows, then it is better to correct it. The fact is that they give the face a dull expression.

In addition, it is customary to distinguish the following forms:

• Rounded. They are characterized by a smooth arcuate bend, a rounded beginning and a tail. Usually this form is found in women of eastern type. Suitable for a square, rhomboid and rectangular face, allows you to hide excessive "angularity" and rudeness.
• Triangular. It is also called a "house", with a moderate bend and respect for proportions, this form looks elegant and flirty. If these rules are not followed, the person acquires an amazed and unnatural expression.
• Curved. These are eyebrows with a break, a pronounced fracture. They invariably attract the eye and when changing the shape of the arch and the proportions of the eyebrows are suitable for almost every type.

The most harmonious shape of the face is considered oval. All other types that are far from her can be made more attractive with the help of various makeup tricks and the right shape of eyebrows.

So, chubby girls can recommend eyebrows with a pronounced kink. They are characterized by a thin tip, the decrease in volume of which begins from the middle of the eyebrow. It is important to achieve a natural bend, and not turn the eyebrows into sharp “ticks”.

For this type, you can also recommend rising eyebrows. They have a less pronounced bend, and the tip here does not tend down, but toward the temple.

With the round shape of the face, both too wide and narrow eyebrows should be avoided. The former make the face even more massive and round, while the latter give the face an unnatural expression.

For a square face, eyebrows with a noticeable kink are also recommended, they should be made smooth, rounded at the base. The bend should fall above the middle of the eye or its outer corner. The tip, if necessary, is recommended to extend, the eyebrow should turn out a little longer than usual. The tip should be directed to the temples. As for the width, it should be medium or slightly wider. Thin eyebrows look unattractive on a square face, making the already large lower part even more massive.

This shape is also suitable for a face-rectangle. Good on such a face will look wide straight eyebrows. It is important not to move them too close, otherwise the face will take on an even more elongated shape. The tip of the eyebrow should be slightly sharpened and directed to the temples.

With a triangular type of face, the eyebrows should be slightly shorter, but at the same time quite thick, with a natural bend. The tip can be turned a little inward, giving it a more rounded shape.

If you have a heart-shaped face, it is important to choose eyebrows that will achieve a balance between the upper and lower parts of the face. For this, optimal ascending eyebrows with a pronounced arch. They can not be led to the lower part of the face, but should be directed to the temples. Do not choose too wide and thick eyebrows, they will make the forehead region heavier.

A pear-shaped face requires a visual increase in volume in the forehead and temples to balance these parts with the expanding lower region of the cheeks and chin. Fit wide and thick eyebrows with a bend. The less expressive the eyes, the more prominent the arch should become.

For a rhomboid face, you should choose a rounded shape of the eyebrows or an option with an unsharp bend. Too sharp arch only emphasize the "angularity" of the face.

No wonder the oval shape is considered one of the most successful, so its owners can afford almost any shape. Classic eyebrows are considered medium density with a soft break. Arcuate give the image softness, romance. However, you should carefully consider the width of the eyebrow, the point of bending. Otherwise, the eyebrows will turn into "houses", giving the face an unnatural expression of constant amazement. Wide rising eyebrows fit oval, but too thin, elongated face. They will make it visually a little more rounded.

When choosing a form, it is important not only to select it taking into account the shape of the face, but also focusing on facial features. So, with close-set eyebrows, it is recommended to increase the space between the eyebrows in the nose and make the eyebrows themselves thinner. At the same time, it is important to ensure that in the nose bridge area free from hairs remains a space no wider than two fingers (index and middle fingers connected together).

As for the color, it should match the shade of the hair, and for blondes it should be 2-3 tones darker. Today, stylists say that even brown-haired and black-haired girls are not recommended to choose black eyebrows. They look rude and even vulgar, add to the face for several years.

Correcting the shape of the eyebrows, it is important to remember about their natural appearance. As a rule, professionals only slightly adjust their natural form, so that the face retains its natural attractiveness.

To build the correct eyebrow, you need to choose a white cosmetic pencil (in principle, you can take a colored one, but dark lines can be distracting). First you need to select 3 points - the beginning of the eyebrow, its highest point and end.

The first can be found by placing a pencil from the wing of the nose to the eyebrow. This will be the beginning of the eyebrow. Further from the wing of the nose through the middle of the pupil you need to draw an imaginary line to the eyebrow. This will be the highest point. In this case, you need to look directly in front of you so that the location of the pupil does not move. Finally, putting a pencil on the wing of the nose, you should draw a line through the outer corner of the eye to the eyebrow. This will be the point of its end.

If you decide to radically change the shape of the eyebrows, then you can apply a tonal agent on their entire surface, and then make the necessary “marking”. After that, draw a suitable shape and shade it with a brown pencil. So you will roughly understand how the new shape will look on your face.

A uniform thickness should be maintained from the beginning to the middle of the eyebrows, the narrowing starts at the break point or a little earlier. To achieve proportionality allows you to work with both eyebrows at once. It is wrong to pluck one eyebrow first, and then another.

The correct form involves the removal of hair at the bottom of the eyebrow. Plucking the hairs from above is fraught with the fact that the look will turn out to be heavy. In addition, with this method it is not possible to significantly change the shape. Finally, the hairs above the eyebrow grow slowly, so after plucking the excess, you risk permanently changing the shape.

Eyebrow shaping is usually done with tweezers or threads. The first method is considered more painful, but it is available to almost everyone, while the technique of removing the thread involves the possession of certain skills.

In addition, a mirror is required for operation. Its dimensions should be such that the face is completely reflected in it. It is better when the mirror has a stand, so the hands will remain free. Experts use a mirror with a magnifying glass, which allows you to see even small hairs.

In addition, a disinfectant solution should be prepared with which work areas, hands, tools are treated. If you have makeup on your face, you will also need a means to remove it.

With severe pain, you can also use painkillers, special creams. In their absence, you can use a warm solution of chamomile, as well as ice cubes.

Correction in the cabin can be an analogue of home plucking. It is better to trust professionals if you are making a correction for the first time, real professionals change their shape taking into account the individual characteristics of the face, select the appropriate shade. In the future, you will be able to maintain it yourself or undergo repeated professional corrections.

Correction and architecture of eyebrows - this is the name of the service in most salons, involves dyeing the hairs, selecting and giving them the desired shape.

If the hairs above the eyebrow, in fact, are already on the forehead, too many, the master can first use the wax in order to achieve smooth skin. It should not be applied in the area close to the eyes, especially in the lower part of the eyebrow.

If you want to achieve the perfect shape for a long time, you can recommend tattooing. The master selects a suitable shape, after which a pigment is introduced under the skin to a depth of 0.5 mm. At first, such eyebrows look unnaturally bright, but after a week they look quite natural. The result is enough for several years.

Today, the following tattooing techniques exist:

• Shorting. It involves drawing the contour of the eyebrow and filling the resulting form with pigment. This method is inferior to other technologies, because the result is not the most natural.
• Hairy. It allows you to achieve attractiveness and naturalness due to the fact that individual hairs are drawn.
• Combined. It allows you to achieve the most attractive result, because it combines the advantages of shading and hair technology.

If tattooing is carried out using a special apparatus (working on the principle of a tattooing tool), then the popular microblading technique is carried out manually. First, the master draws a shape with a pencil, and then manually draws individual hairs with a thin sharp needle with a coloring pigment.

The depth of the pigment during microblading is slightly less than 0.5 mm, and its excess, appearing on the surface of the skin, is immediately removed. When you turn to a professional in your field, you will get a better and more natural result compared to tattooing. However, such an edge will be maintained on average a year.

Using European microblading technology, it is possible to achieve the effect of thick wide eyebrows, as the master draws hairs of the same length and thickness. However, a closer look shows that they are not real.

Oriental technology is conducted with great regard for the growth and direction of hair, which is why the eyebrows look more natural. However, it is impossible to significantly change their shape with this technique.

Finally, there is a method of eyebrow extension, which allows you to find a thick and beautiful eyebrows in a couple of hours. However, they are difficult to distinguish from natural ones. The essence of the method is the same as with eyelash extensions.

If you are doing the correction yourself, then you need to remove makeup and cleanse your face.Prepare all the necessary tools at once and decide on the choice of form. Schemes and methods for determining suitable proportions and shapes were given in the appropriate section of this article.

Today there are eyebrow stencils on sale. It is enough to choose a suitable “contour” and circle it, then remove all the hairs that extend beyond the boundaries of the pencil lines. The advantage of this method is that it allows you to quickly get an almost perfect shape of the eyebrows. Why "almost"? Such stencils do not take into account the individual characteristics of the face.

Before plucking the hairs, you need to comb it a little up, using a special brush or an old and well-washed eyelash brush. If the procedure is too painful, plucking can be preceded by applying chamomile lotions.

To do this, pour a teaspoon of dried chamomile flowers with a glass of hot water and insist 10-15 minutes. Warm to endure the skin, infuse cotton wool with infusion, wring it out and put in the hair removal area for 2-3 minutes.

Under the influence of heat, the pores will open and the hair will “slip” out of it faster and more painlessly. Also, chamomile infusion is characterized by analgesic, bactericidal and wound healing properties.

If you use tweezers, then you need to grab the hairs one at a time, pulling the skin down in this area and pulling the hair with a sharp movement in the direction of its growth. If you do not take into account the direction of growth, the procedure will be more painful and threatens with hair growth.

For the same reason, you should grab the hair closer to the base, which will avoid breaking it and further growing. After the procedure, the skin is disinfected. With severe inflammation, you can use anesthetic or cooling gel. The main thing is that it has a light water structure.

Another option is trading, that is, removal using threads. This method requires some skill and skill, but has several advantages. For one capture, a thread can remove several hairs at once, and irritation after such a procedure is faster. An important advantage is that hairs become softer and thinner over time.

You need to use a special thread called Arabic. It is quite dense, but glides well along the hairs, while not tearing and not stretching.

The resulting oval is twisted so that 2 loops are obtained, and the thread itself is stretched between the index fingers of the arms extended to the desired width.

It is necessary to shift the center of the twisted thread, bring the hairs closer to this point and move this center to the other side. The hairs will be trapped and removed.

At home, you can also dye your eyebrows by choosing specialized paints or henna. It should be stained before plucking or after a few days when the inflammation subsides. If staining is performed immediately after correction, the pigment particles will enter the open pores and cause the development of an inflammatory process.

Styling allows you to maintain the beauty of the eyebrows and give them a well-groomed appearance both after salon and after home procedures. For this, the hairs need to be combed and combed a little up, giving the desired shape. It can be fixed with special gels. If those were not at hand, a normal hair spray is suitable. It should be sprayed a little on an old (clean) brush for mascara or teeth. While the varnish is not seized, you need to brush it through the hairs, laying them in the necessary way.

Eyebrow tinting helps to make them more expressive, emphasize a beautiful bend. It is better to use special shadows for this, applying them with a beveled brush. Stylists recommend choosing a lighter shade for the head than for the body and tip, carefully blending the boundaries between the shades. This will make the look open, and facial features - more feminine.

It is also possible to emphasize a bend by applying flickering white shadows, a white pencil or highlighter to the area under the bend. The main thing is to thoroughly blend the cosmetic product.

After the procedure, you can wipe the face and the treatment area with an ice cube. It will narrow the pores and relieve inflammation. You can increase the effectiveness of this method by preparing cosmetic ice based on herbal infusions. You can brew a camomile or calendula, insist a decoction and, having filtered it, pour it into ice molds.

After the procedure, you should not use greasy creams that clog pores. This can cause inflammation. By the way, do not apply cream, wax or gel to the hairs before removing them. The tweezers or thread will slide, it will be difficult to stretch the hair.

Periodic (once every 2-4 days) removal of small light hairs allows prolonging the effect of a qualitatively performed correction, as well as always maintaining the edges in a well-groomed condition. Typically, most girls do this immediately before applying makeup.

To improve hair growth, as well as give them smoothness and silkiness, shine, oil masks allow. To do this, dip the eyebrow brush (it is convenient to use the washed carcass brush) in the oil and draw it over the eyebrows. Burdock, peach or castor oils are well suited for these purposes. Before use, it is recommended to warm them up a bit.

It is better to do the procedure in the evening, and immediately before going to bed, excess oil should be removed with a dry cloth. If this is not done, there is a risk of staining bedding, as well as transferring oil to the mucous membranes of the eyes, which will make them swollen and reddened in the morning.

It is important that vitamins A, C, E, as well as omega-3 and other natural fats are present in your diet in sufficient quantities. You can drink a course of vitamins for hair and nails.
