Eyebrows are a real weapon of a woman. They can not only give the person an emotional expression, but also greatly change it. The correct shape of the eyebrows emphasizes the expressiveness of the eyes, as if revealing them. Well-groomed, thick and shiny eyebrows, in harmony with other facial features, will give the whole face a healthy and attractive look. The correctness of the shape of the eyebrows depends on your natural bending of the brow, from the cut of the eyes. Density and color of the eyebrows are also determined by the characteristics of the body. For today the natural line of a bend given to us by the nature, with a dense, wide enough, but well-groomed eyebrow is preferable. The color of the eyebrow should be in harmony with the color of the eyes and hair. Blondes are not suitable for black eyebrows, but the burning brunettes, on the contrary, are thin and light. The eyebrow should not be too thin, resembling a thread, but also it is not necessary to grow hairy wide brows. Thin eyebrows can be made more dense, due to proper care for them, and too wide can be corrected by plucking. In any case, it's not so easy to make the right shape of the eyebrows. But your efforts are worth it!
A bit of history

Eyebrow correction
To help to give the brow the necessary form shouldcorrect correction, or plucking of eyebrows. Whichever eyebrows you choose, it's not easy to make the right correction. Determination of the desired shape of the eyebrows First, it is necessary to determine which form of eyebrows will be right for your face, and how to pull out really superfluous hairs, without affecting the others. To determine the desired shape, we need a pencil and a mirror. Put the mirror in front of you, and attach the pencil to the nostril - this will be the starting point of reference.
- Line 1 - the beginning of the eyebrow
One end of the pencil is at the eyebrow, and the otheryou must go through the inner corner of the eye, practically touching it. The other end of the pencil will point you to the point where your eyebrow should begin. Take a cosmetic pencil of any color and mark this place.
- Line 2 - bending of the eyebrow
Next, the pencil needs to turn from the nostrilso that the other end of it passes through the pupil, provided that you look strictly straight. So the pencil rests against the bend of the eyebrow. Mark this place, it should be the highest part of the eyebrow. If you do not observe a clear angle from nature, or the eyebrow is straight, you should leave a natural smooth form.
- Line 3 - the end of the eyebrow
Pencil from the nostrils through the outer cornereyes. Its end and point to the point where, ideally, the eyebrow should end. Do not prolong the "tail" eyebrows and make it lower than the pencil indicates, it can give the person a sad and sad expression. This place is also worth noting cosmetic pencil. The procedure of plucking All three points we have identified should be joined, drawing the border of the eyebrows. All hairs outside these boundaries should be plucked. However, this must also be done correctly. It is best to pull the plucking after a hot bath or shower, when the skin is steamed, and the pores are open. The first step will be hand washing, disinfection of tools - tweezers with alcohol or disinfectant solution, cleansing the skin of the eyebrow with an alcohol lotion or tonic. First, it is necessary to pull out the hairs at the inner edge of the eyebrow, then at the outer edge, and only after that start plucking the hairs under the eyebrow. The very brow is better to comb upwards, then you will see well the extra hairs that need to be plucked. Plucking is worth only the hairs that are below the eyebrow level, i.e. on the upper still century. Those that are above, on the forehead, you can pull out only if the eyebrow is too thick, and the hairs are dark. The skin should be stretched slightly with your fingers, so the hair will come out of the bulb smoothly. Tear hair should be strictly in the direction of its growth. After the procedure, rinse the leftover cosmetic pencil from the skin with tonic or lotion, disinfect the skin with alcohol.
Coloring and make-up of eyebrows
So, with the form we have decided. But what about the color of the eyebrows? If you are naturally a blonde, then you certainly have light and thin eyebrows, but you prefer to paint hair in a burning black color. Are those eyebrows suitable for your hair color? And vice versa: Will the dark, thick and broad eyebrows of a platinum blonde be appropriate? The color of the eyebrows must necessarily be in harmony with the color of the hair and eyes. Too dark hairs of the eyebrows can be slightly lightened, and light - darken. This can be done with the help of eyebrow tattooing, special eyebrow and eyelash dye, or with make-up and cosmetic products. Eyebrow tattoo A cardinal measure for changing the shape of the eyebrows and giving the desired eyebrow tattoo. It can be applied by thin strokes imitating the eyebrow hairs, or by a feathering, making for the eyebrow a background on the skin. With tattooing, you can forget about the daily procedure for tinting eyebrows, they will always look dignified, even in the pool or in the sea. However, it is worth remembering that tattooing is a constant thing, and if you suddenly do not like the result, you can hardly get rid of it with ease. Eyebrow coloring Eyebrows coloring can be done not only in the salon of a specialist, but also at home. Get a special eyebrow paint, do not use hair dye, as it is much more aggressive to the delicate skin of the face. Choose the right tone of the paint, which will match the color of the hair or harmonize with it. To carry out the dyeing procedure on your own, 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 we mix the paint with the oxidantaccording to the instructions attached to it. With a brush or a stick, we collect the paint and apply it on 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 wool discs and rinse with running water, after which we apply a cream or oil to prevent dryness and flaking of the skin. Make-up for the eyebrows Make the right shape of the eyebrows and increase the intensity of the light eyebrows can also be using makeup. They produce special pencils and eyebrow shadows. Pencil is usually supplemented with a brush or comb on the opposite end, has a wide range of colors. Pencil should be applied with thin strokes, imitating hairs. Professional eye shadow usually consists of light and dark colors in one package. The dark color is applied directly along the line of the eyebrow growth, makes the background for the hairs, and the light one is placed under the eyebrow, which makes the contrast brighter and the eyes more expressive.
