If naturalness is in fashion, then why "touch" the eyebrows?
If we talk about naturalness and naturalness, then, perhaps, she has never been in fashion. Another thing is that it seems natural. Think for yourself, nature has endowed the girls with generous vegetation throughout the body. The color of hair, eyelashes is often not the one that we ourselves would like. If genuine naturalness were really in fashion, then beauticians, makeup artists and hairdressers would die out as a species due to a lack of clients. Meanwhile, young ladies now and then go to the masters to correct something in theirshape.
Speaking of beautiful eyebrows, fashion today dictates naturalness. But believe me, if your brows are transparent and not thick, then they need to be brought into a completely different “natural” look.
Natural beautiful eyebrows today
Approaching the design of the eyebrows, one cannot help but build on fashion trends. The fact that it is changeable, like a sea breeze, is well known to people who have already lived and noted the frequent change of many trends. If we talk specifically about eyebrows, then at the beginning of the last century, thinly plucked lines were considered fashionable. Throughout the twentieth century, film stars and models plucked them together, and only by the eighties did it become fashionable to wear wide, thick eyebrows.
Today, densely filled, dark eyebrows that focus attention on the eyes are considered beautiful. Of course, not everyone can boast of such a natural heritage. Georgian and Armenian girls are now at the peak of popular trends, but if you are a Slav, then you need to shape your eyebrows.
Step one: tidy up
Eyebrow shaping begins with the removal of unwanted hairs that grow outside of the natural line. However, when plucking hairs, do it exclusively under the eyebrow, and not above it. By overdoing it, you can distort the natural shape, giving the face a pitiful or stupid look.
If your eyebrow hairs are very long, it will be difficult to shape them beautifully. In this case, proceed as follows. Comb the eyebrow to the bottom, and the part of the hairs that goes beyond the natural line,carefully trim with nail scissors. After that, comb the eyebrow to the top, and repeat the procedure.
Floss hair removal
Many beauty salons will offer you eyebrow threading today. This procedure is called “threading” and is a fairly good, if not too well-known way to remove unwanted facial hair. In order to create a "device" for hair removal, take cotton threads about forty centimeters long. In the middle they need to be twisted together ten times.
As a result, you will get a special "device" that resembles a figure eight. Pull the free ends of the threads, and the resulting knots in the middle grab unwanted hairs along the growth line. This method causes less irritation than hair removal with tweezers. In addition, much more unwanted hair can be quickly removed with threads than with alternative hair removal methods.
Before and after the procedure, it is important to disinfect the skin. After epilating, lubricate the skin with a mild moisturizer. Do not be upset if for the first time during the procedure you will not be able to capture and remove many hairs at once. In shaping eyebrows in this way, only practice is important.
Step two: choose a coloring method
If your brows need to be brightened, deepened or reshaped, there are plenty of alternatives available. Some methods are suitable forhome use without fear of harming the appearance or ruining the eyebrow. Other eyebrow shaping methods can only be performed in beauty salons with the help of masters. Learn how to create perfect eyebrows and choose the one that suits you.
Design with henna
Henna is a natural dye that not only stains the hairs, but also "sneaks" into the upper layers of the dermis. Thus, if your eyebrows are not thick enough and are not visible on your face, then henna eyebrow shaping will be a good choice to emphasize natural lines.
The undeniable advantage of using henna is the ability to create the eyebrows you want, regardless of the natural hairline. The disadvantage of this procedure is that it is better to carry it out in a hairdresser, as the master will be able to independently choose the most suitable eyebrow shape for your face and create it using natural dye. Another disadvantage of dyeing with henna is the limited choice of colors. Henna is all shades of red, so if you have jet black or blonde hair, then the henna will have to be mixed with another dye. Such a mixture can cause allergies or, even worse, create a completely unpredictable color effect like orange or green.
Eyebrow tinting
Shaping eyebrows and eyelashes with paint is a popular way to make the look and face more expressive in general. The disadvantage of this method of staining is the unnaturalness of the product, which can lead toallergic reactions, and also makes the hairs weakened, brittle. However, if you trust a well-known manufacturer of cosmetics, the likelihood of damaging your eyebrows or eyelashes is reduced to zero.
A significant advantage of using paint is the ability to complete the staining procedure yourself, even without experience. Apply along the hairline. Please note that this product only colors the hair, not the skin. Suitable paint for those girls whose eyebrows are thick enough, but not quite bright. A good paint for eyebrows and eyelashes costs from 400 rubles. Buying one package will provide you with a coloring agent for at least a dozen procedures. Shaping and coloring eyebrows with paint is the most popular way to add brightness to the image today, without significantly changing the width and length of the eyebrows.
Tattoo and permanent makeup
These two terms basically mean the same thing. A special coloring pigment is applied under the skin along the eyebrow growth line, emphasizing the existing or creating a new eyebrow. A dozen years ago, masters asked girls to shave their eyebrows, drawing new ones with a needle. Today, this is not necessary, the paint is applied to a less deep layer, it has a different composition. Tattooing is an effective way to emphasize eyebrows, but it is important to choose a good artist.
Since permanent makeup is created by injecting paint with a needle under the skin, it is a kind of tattoo. Of course, the period of wearing a tattoo is much less than a regular one.tattoos, due to the composition of the paint, and is 2 to 4 years. After this time, permanent makeup becomes barely noticeable or completely removed from under the skin, and, if desired, the procedure can be repeated. Permanent makeup is quite painful when applied, the masters use local anesthesia. The cost of a tattoo is from 2000 rubles.
Microblading
Today you can find many ads for training in eyebrow shaping through the microblading procedure. The training lasts two or three days, after which the master can create new eyebrows for you using micro-cuts with paint applied under the skin. The technique is also called "hair tattooing" since the cuts are the creation of painted hairs.
Fresh works of such eyebrow design in the photo look very beautiful and natural, differ from permanent tattooing in greater visual naturalness. The disadvantage of this procedure is that microblading heals very poorly, in particular, due to cuts that mimic hairs, multiple small scars remain.
This method of eyebrow shaping appeared in our country at the suggestion of Asian women. However, Asian women have thicker skin, and microblading is ideal for them, as it heals quickly and without scars. The Slavs have thinner skin due to geographical conditions, and 9 out of 10 women will not be able to repeat the procedure after, since not every master will undertake to perform a tattoo on damaged and scarred skin. In addition, judge for yourself what the master graduate will be like.two-day courses on technicality. It cannot be said that microblading is contraindicated for all Slavic women without exception, but before choosing this procedure for eyebrow shaping, think carefully.
Eyebrow cosmetics
Let's go back about five years ago. At that time, there was no such assortment for eyebrow shaping on the market of cosmetics. When this part of the face became truly "fashionable", cosmetics manufacturers began to create tints, special shadows, wax to emphasize this part of the face. Eyebrow shaping with cosmetics is the fastest way to emphasize them.
Pay attention to the tint. Most often, it comes in the form of a liquid, which, when applied to the eyebrow, turns into a frozen film. The coloring pigments contained in the tint penetrate the skin, similar to the effects of henna. When you remove the film from the eyebrows, they will appear as if carefully painted over with a pencil. However, unlike henna, the effect of applying a tint lasts about a day or two.
Wax is ideal for those girls whose eyebrows are almost perfect by nature. This cosmetic product can help you enhance the natural beauty of the eyebrows, smooth the hairs and give them the desired shape. Most often, wax comes in the form of a pencil, so it is easy to apply even if you do not have the proper skills.
Eyebrow shadows are applied with an applicator, after which they need to be shaded along the hairline. They give a shadow effect, creating density andcolor saturation. Available in a wide range of browns.
