How to understand what shape of eyebrows suits you, if fashion inspires one thing, common sense another, but this is not what is truly beautiful for you? Is it necessary to focus on trends in such a burning issue as eyebrows? How to choose the shape of the eyebrows and what shade to choose? We will reflect on all this below.
Fashion or classic?
Fashion trends for that and trends to help and guide those who are confused. Do not forget that there is always a classic and a golden mean, adhering to which you will look irresistible in any era, at any time and in any company. This applies to hairstyles, and the shape of the eyebrows, and clothes, and manners, and everything else that can be directed along the rivers of fashion.
When choosing the shape of the eyebrows according to the type of face, you are unlikely to make a mistake, but it is worth considering that even this unshakable criterion tends to change. Gain a couple of extra pounds, and your face will become rounder, lose weight - your cheekbones will appear and your eyes will become larger, and a well-chosen eyebrow shape can balance any typefaces. Of course, contouring, shaping the forehead line, and more radical methods such as plastic surgery, for example, sometimes help in achieving this goal.
We are all physiognomists
Reading faces is a talent that everyone possesses to a greater or lesser extent: someone on a professional level, and someone on an intuitive level. Children who cannot read perceive faces by focusing on the center. People who write from left to right are used to reading information in this way: first from left to right, then from top to bottom.
This is a psychological trick used by marketers, but as for the human face, the eyebrows are the first to come into the interlocutor's field of vision after the hairstyle, which is why they are so important.
Eyebrow Strength
required.
The main lines should not go beyond the natural growth zone of the hairs. By combing your eyebrows up or down, you can see the very line that will be the carrier. Leaning on it, you will emphasize your eyebrow shape, which simply cannot be to your face.
Which eyebrow shape should I choose?
This can be done using several proven methods:
- focus on fashion trends and copy your favorite shape from the video of the famous blogger;
- use a thread, a ruler, a pencil and a barbell to mark the lines of the head,ponytail and eyebrow arch;
- focus on your own growth line;
- use stencils;
- contact an experienced brow specialist;
- monitor online services and choose the shape of the eyebrows from the photo;
- experiment on your own.
Each of these methods has the right to life.
In fashion
What eyebrow shape is popular at the moment? For several years in a row, maximum naturalness has been in fashion, but it does not exclude accuracy. For secular make-up, carefully shaped eyebrows are chosen, wide, with a gradient transition, circled with concealer, and for everyday life it is enough to comb them and bring them a little with a pencil or shadows.
You can see that now it is even permissible to wear unplucked eyebrows, fluffy, but summed up with shadows a la smoky effect. However, such emancipation in design suits only girls with clean, even skin and a taut oval. If you don't have these qualities, a casual style will only exacerbate the look.
You can say that any adequate eyebrows are in fashion now, but too thin or primly tattooed ones look a little ridiculous.
Eyebrow shapes
What are the shapes of eyebrows? There are many different classifications. Some describe the pattern itself (straight, arched, curved, unibrow), others describe the thickness (thin, harmonious, wide), others describe their location on the face (horizontal, pierrot, ascending), etc.
Straight eyebrows have almost no crease, as a rule,are parallel to an imaginary line that connects the inner and outer corners of the eyes.
The arched eyebrow is also called the crescent, it does not have a crease. This shape is perfect for those who have superciliary arches and the shape of the forehead allow. Despite the very smooth and feminine curve, it does not suit some types of faces categorically, making the look too heavy.
The curved eyebrow has a pronounced crease angle. Suits most people. The amplitude of the bend can achieve a lifting effect.
For ascending eyebrows, the outer tail is always higher than the head, while for pierrot it is vice versa.
Where will we do the eyebrows?
By the shape of the eyebrows, you can tell a lot about their owner, because it is these two stripes above the eyes that convey the character of a person. By changing their slope, thickness or length, you can turn an angelic face into a bitchy one.
Even if you stock up on all kinds of eyebrow makeup, it will be of little use if the shape is chosen incorrectly. There is an opinion that the bend of the eyebrows should be selected according to the type of face, but how to explain the fact that one and the same person at different times can go either one or another shape?
The face tends to grow up, get younger, get tired and lose muscle tone, swell, lose weight, etc. And in each individual case, you need to individually approach the design of eyebrows.
When the face is taut, rested, it does not require visual contouring, including due to the eyebrows. If fatigue takes over or yesterday was a good evening, the next morning you can notice swelling, swelling. In this caseeyebrows will help: arched ones need to be made more amplitude, and straight ones a little slanted to create a lifting effect.
Round face
What shape of eyebrows suits a person without pronounced texture? Before answering this question and starting to pick up a bend, you need to agree on what we will call a round face. This is the whole catch, since it is difficult for a person to independently determine his type. Yes, and from the side it is sometimes difficult to "diagnose" if the shape of the face does not have specific angles or roundness.
When choosing the slope and bend of the eyebrows, you need to focus more on the shape of the forehead. Round-faced people with smooth features will go with subtle smooth eyebrows without sharp bends. If the forehead is high, you need to draw them along the upper growth line, so the look will appear wide open, and the forehead will be more harmonious.
Oval face
What shape of eyebrows suits the owners of the correct elongated shape? Almost any. Yes, such girls are the luckiest of all, as both straight and curved eyebrows look very harmonious. Depending on the hairstyle, each time you can choose a different shape of the eyebrows.
Long face
Despite the fact that many girls try to visually stretch their face to make it look thinner, the owners of a pronounced elongation try to hide it as much as possible. Horizontal eyebrows will help in this matter. Any arch and strong bend lengthen the look, so such techniques should be avoided.
Beautiful onlong-faced girls look wide-open eyebrows with a long ponytail.
Square face
This type is more suitable amplitude eyebrows with a break or with a smooth bend. Straight, parallel wide eyebrows can make the look masculine, for tenderness it is better to opt for moderate thickness.
Eyebrow Formula
Everyone knows that to determine the beginning, end and highest point (or bend point) of the eyebrow, you need to use the following trick: draw a line through the extreme lateral point of the wing of the nose and the inner corner of the eye - this is the beginning of the eyebrow; a line passing through the tip of the nose and the middle of the pupil will show the point of the crease; and the line that connects the wing of the nose and the outer corner of the eye defines the tail of the eyebrow.
For a beautiful open look, make-up artists recommend shaping the eyebrows so that their tip is always higher than the head or, in extreme cases, lies on the same line. So the face will look cheerful, toned. If the outer corner is omitted, it creates fatigue or eternal surprise.
If you have large facial features, opt for wide eyebrows, if you have sophisticated ones - thin ones.
If the skin is problematic or uneven, which may be the result of age-related changes or diseases, fluffy, indistinctly shaped or not plucked eyebrows will aggravate the appearance, but stiffly even ones will not decorate either.
To visually stretch the face, increase the amplitude of the bend, to shorten - reduce.
Need to narrow the forehead - make the eyebrows shorter, need to widen - dolonger.
The best way is experiment
You should not be lazy and choose one day to experiment on yourself. You can draw eyebrows according to the formula, you can by eye. Higher, lower, thin, thick, bring the inner corner closer to the bridge of the nose or away … It will take some time, but no one can do this task better than yourself.
To mask natural eyebrows, you can use a concealer, a thick foundation or a white pencil, and especially brave people bleach them or shave, which we do not advise you to do. Then, on top of a clean "canvas" draw our eyebrows.
You can borrow techniques from professional brows and use a barbell. However, perfectly even eyebrows can make the face look crooked, as perfectly symmetrical faces are rare and sometimes look intimidating.
Color affects shape
Many famous makeup artists are calling for the non-use of black for eyebrow shaping. If there is no way out, and you only have a black pencil or shadow in your arsenal, then you will have to make the eyebrow thinner by 1.5 times so that it does not overload the face.
It is best to choose a brown pencil or shadows, but not with an orange undertone, but with gray. This versatile product is perfect for brunettes, brown-haired women, redheads and blondes. And in the absence of other cosmetics, they can also make up the eyes, do contouring and emphasize the lips.
So, the lighter the color, the wider the eyebrow; the darker, the thinner.
To learn how to choose the shape of the eyebrows according to the type of face,no need to develop formulas and measure everything with a ruler, just trust your personal sense of beauty.
