Eyebrows are a woman's real weapon.They can not only give the face an emotional expression, but also change it greatly. The correct shape of the eyebrows emphasizes the expressiveness of the eyes, as if opening them. Well-groomed, thick and shiny eyebrows, harmonizing with other facial features, will give the whole face a healthy and attractive look. The correct shape of the eyebrows depends on your natural arch of the brow, on the shape of the eyes. The thickness and color of the eyebrows are also determined by the characteristics of the body. Today, the natural line of the arch given to us by nature is preferable, with a thick, fairly wide, but well-groomed eyebrow. The color of the eyebrow should be in harmony with the color of the eyes and hair. Blondes will not suit black eyebrows, but burning brunettes, on the contrary, - thin and light. The eyebrow should not be too thin, resembling a thread, but you should also not grow shaggy wide eyebrows. Thin eyebrows can be made thicker by proper care, and too wide ones can be corrected by plucking. In any case, making the right eyebrow shape is not so easy. But your efforts are worth it!

A bit of history

Eyebrow correction

It should help to give your eyebrows the desired shape.Correctly performed correction, or plucking of eyebrows. Whatever eyebrows you choose, it is not so easy to make the correct correction. Determining the desired eyebrow shape To begin with, it is worth deciding which eyebrow shape will be correct for your face, and how to pluck really unnecessary hairs without affecting the rest. To determine the desired shape, we will need a pencil and a mirror. Place the mirror in front of you, and put the pencil to your nostril - this will be the starting point.

• Line 1 - the beginning of the eyebrow

One end of the pencil is at the eyebrow, and the otheryou should go through the inner corner of the eye, almost touching it. The other end of the pencil will point you to the place where your eyebrow should start. Take a cosmetic pencil of any color and mark this place.

• Line 2 - bending of the eyebrow

Next, the pencil needs to be turned away from the nostril.so that the other end goes through the pupil, provided that you look straight ahead. This way the pencil will rest against the curve of the eyebrow. Mark this place, it should be the highest part of the eyebrow. If you do not have a clear angle by nature, or your eyebrow is straight, you should leave the natural smooth shape.

• Line 3 - the end of the eyebrow

Place the pencil from the nostril through the outercorner of the eye. Its end will indicate the point where the eyebrow should ideally end. You should not extend the "tail" of the eyebrow and make it lower than the pencil indicates, this can give the face a sad and gloomy expression. This place should also be marked with a cosmetic pencil. The plucking procedure All three points we have determined should be connected, outlining the border of the eyebrow. All hairs outside these boundaries should be plucked. However, this must also be done correctly. It is best to pluck after a hot bath or shower, when the skin is steamed and the pores are open. The first step will be washing your hands, disinfecting the tools - tweezers with alcohol or a disinfectant solution, cleansing the skin of the eyebrow with an alcohol lotion or tonic. First, you should pluck the hairs at the inner edge of the eyebrow, then - at the outer, and only then start plucking the hairs under the eyebrow. It is better to comb the eyebrow itself upwards, then the extra hairs that need to be plucked will be clearly visible. Only the hairs that are below the eyebrow level, i.e. on the upper fixed eyelid, should be plucked. Those that are higher, on the forehead, can only be plucked if the eyebrow is too thick and the hairs are dark. The skin should be slightly stretched with your fingers, so the hair will come out of the bulb painlessly. The hair should be pulled strictly in the direction of its growth. After completing the procedure, wash off the remains of the cosmetic pencil from the skin with a toner or lotion, disinfect the skin with alcohol.

Coloring and make-up of eyebrows

So, we have decided on the form.But what to do with the color of your eyebrows? If you are a natural blonde, then you undoubtedly have light and thin eyebrows, but you prefer to dye your hair a burning black color. Will such eyebrows suit your hair color? And vice versa: will dark, thick and wide eyebrows be appropriate for a platinum blonde? The color of the eyebrows must necessarily harmonize with the color of the hair and eyes. Too dark eyebrow hairs can be lightened a little, and light ones - darkened. This can be done with the help of eyebrow tattooing, special paint for eyebrows and eyelashes, or with the help of makeup and cosmetics. Eyebrow tattooing A radical measure to change the shape of the eyebrows and give them the desired shape will be eyebrow tattooing. It can be applied with thin strokes, imitating eyebrow hairs, or shading, creating a background for the eyebrow on the skin. With a tattoo, you can forget about the daily procedure of eyebrow tinting, they will always look decent, even in the pool or at sea. However, it is worth remembering that a tattoo is a permanent thing, and if you suddenly do not like the result, you will hardly be able to get rid of it easily. Eyebrow dyeing Eyebrow dyeing can be done not only in a salon by a specialist, but also at home. Buy a special eyebrow dye, do not use hair dye, as it is much more aggressive to the delicate skin of the face. Choose the desired shade of dye that will match the color of your hair or harmonize with it. To carry out the dyeing procedure yourself, you will need:

• a small container (not metal) for mixing the paint;
• a thin brush or wooden stick for applying paint;
• Gloves to protect hands from staining;
• cotton wheels and cotton buds for correction in the process of staining and washing.

First, mix the paint with the oxidizer.according to the instructions attached to it. Using a brush or stick, pick up the paint and apply it to the eyebrows, repeating their shape. The paint should be left on the eyebrows for 10-20 minutes, depending on the desired intensity. Then remove the paint with cotton pads and rinse with running water, after which apply cream or oil to prevent dryness and flaking of the skin. Eyebrow makeup You can also make the correct shape of your eyebrows and increase the intensity of light eyebrows with the help of makeup products. Special pencils and shadows for eyebrows are produced. The pencil is usually supplemented with a brush or comb at the opposite end, has a wide selection of colors. The pencil should be applied in thin strokes imitating hairs. Professional eyebrow shadows most often consist of a light and dark color in one package. The dark color is applied directly along the eyebrow growth line, creating a background for the hairs, and the light color is applied under the eyebrow, which makes the contrast brighter and the eyes more expressive.
