Often, owners of even beautiful and spectacular eyebrows want to follow fashion - change their appearance a little. What can we say about those ladies who are forced daily, before diluting the eyebrow paint, to draw them for a long time, giving the necessary shape. This tedious, time-consuming process can be avoided by using permanent dyes.
Tattoo or paint - which do you prefer?
Eyebrows framing a girl's face should not only be well-groomed, but also match her appearance. Therefore, it is extremely important to choose the shade of the coloring agent that matches the type of face, whether it be mascara, special shadows, pencil or resistant powder.
If a beauty decides to color her eyebrows with special means of long-term exposure, she must also be able to calculate certain proportions: the ratio of size, width, and depth of the eyebrow arc. And so that the final result of staining matches the chosenon the packaging of the color, it is preferable to read the annotation on the package in advance and find out how to properly dilute the eyebrow paint, how to apply the product, what is the exposure time, and so on.
Such worries can be avoided by using the services of a trained beautician tattoo artist.
Arguments for tattooing
The most important thing in eyebrow tattooing is choosing a good specialist who already has some experience. Of course, you should not spare money for this kind of procedure, because you will have to wear stuffed “beauty” on your face for at least a year and a half. Benefits of the procedure:
- Gorgeous appearance, without the need for regular correction, will greatly facilitate the life of the beauty.
- Effective shape, color saturation of the eyebrows will give the face freshness, and the look - openness.
- Tattooing, despite the apparent high cost, will help save a decent amount of money. With a successful outcome of the procedure, the paint will last about two years in the surface layers of the skin.
- A skillful tattoo artist will be able to shape the eyebrows in such a way that even the expression of the client's face will change for the better.
Hidden Tattoo Flaws
It would seem that tattooing has a lot of advantages - it really is. But few ladies know about the "pitfalls" behind this technique:
- Fashion is extremely changeable, and no one guarantees that in a couple of months the shape / width of the eyebrows, which all fashionistas preferred, will not change.
- How to dilute the eyebrow paint that will be used for tattooing depends on their future shade. Using low-grade tattoo inks that are not designed for permanent makeup, you can get terrible green / blue arches instead of dark brown or black eyebrows.
- The durability of a tattoo can be both a plus and a definite minus. –If you want to change the annoying bend, you will have to experience the painful, very expensive laser ink removal technique.
- Incorrect actions of the master can lead to infection, suppuration of the skin of the client's face damaged by the needle.
- An inept beautician can crookedly or simply ugly draw a sketch, according to which the main tattoo design will be designed.
What about natural henna?
It is not uncommon for women to choose naturalness in everything, and cosmetics are no exception. They prefer natural alternatives to chemicals.
In fact, most synthetic dyes are quite harmless. For example, before you dilute the Estelle eyebrow paint, you can read its composition and make sure that there is nothing harmful and life-threatening in it. In addition, based on rich negative experience, responsible manufacturing companies (Estel, Enigma, etc.) are trying to use hypoallergenic complexes.
Features of using henna:
- Henna, despite its naturalness and seeming harmlessness, often causesinadequate reactions of the body - allergic skin inflammation, lacrimation, swelling.
- It is not very pleasant to spread, apply and wash off such a gruel from the face.
- When using henna, it is very important to adhere to the specified “minute per minute” exposure time, otherwise the result will be unexpected, from light red to dark red. Walking with such a painted face is a dubious pleasure.
Of course, using the services of a responsible honest master, all such risks will be reduced to a minimum. But visiting the salon every couple of weeks is an expensive pleasure that not everyone can afford.
It is better to study the instructions carefully, learn how to dilute the eyebrow paint in a calm home, and always look great without spending extra money.
Paint is the best option
Quality eyebrow dye will help a fashionista to be self-confident even in rainy / excessively hot weather, when less resistant dyes (brasmatik, shadows) will simply be washed off with water or “float” from sweat. Paint color features:
- If there is a desire to change the shape of the brow a little, the beauty just has to wait a couple of weeks until the paint fades.
- Together with eyebrows, a woman can paint over, saturate with color and cilia at the same time. How to dilute the eyebrow paint in this case, you should read on the label (the percentage of oxidizer / dye may vary).
- The speed of dyeing hairs is about a quarterhours - there is no need to spend a lot of time to create a new look.
- This type of procedure can easily be performed at home. True, to achieve the desired effect, it is better to visit a beautician a couple of times and remember the procedure.
Are there any contraindications for paint?
For all its seeming safety and harmlessness, even the highest quality professional dye can harm the body:
- If a person suffers from allergic reactions of a seasonal type (spring flowering, summer poplar fluff, etc.), then it is during these periods that one should be wary of not only painting, but also other cosmetic procedures.
- Pimples near the “working” area, as well as abrasions / scratches and other inflammations can cause trouble during and after the dyeing process.
- In the presence of an infectious, fungal disease, it is worth postponing such events for the period of time necessary for treatment.
- Acute skin reaction to any oxidants can lead to burns and irritation of the dermis. Before diluting eyebrow paint with oxide, it is worth considering alternative options - ready-made ammonia-free preparations.
For most brands of paint, pregnancy and lactation are not contraindications for use.
Eyebrow tinting at home
Just in case, it is worth clarifying that the coloring compositions intended for hair are quite aggressive and should in no case be used inas a preparation for dyeing eyebrows. Such carelessness can turn out to be very deplorable - burns / allergies will be provided.
Preparations
Beauties who decide to carry out such procedures at home should prepare for them in advance - this will help reduce the risk of unpleasant consequences to a minimum:
- A few days before dyeing, it is worth carefully removing regrown hairs - the dermis around the eyebrows should recover completely.
- In addition, it is worth excluding the use of peels, scrubs, brushing and anything that violates the integrity of the skin.
- The selection and purchase of a coloring matter is no less important. It is necessary to carefully read everything about the paint: composition, expiration date, method of application.
- The most in demand among beauties are quite inexpensive, but high-quality dyes: "Estelle", "Verona".
- In order for the staining result to be 100% the same as the tone declared not in the box, you should study the annotation and find out how to properly dilute the Estelle eyebrow paint or, say, Delie, what is the exposure time, precautions, etc.
What is required for the procedure?
In order for the staining process to go “smoothly”, it is necessary to prepare and clean the work surface in advance, on which all the tubes will stand, cotton pads, brushes and other tools. Hands should also be washed and sprinkled with antiseptic.
Packaging good paintunpacked, and the contents are displayed next to the other instrument. You will need:
- plastic stick for applying the composition;
- insert, which indicates how to dilute Estel eyebrow paint or any other, what are the proportions of the oxidizing agent and the coloring cream, the required exposure time, precautions;
- small mixing bowl;
- oxidizer and cream paint.
Mix preparation
The principle of preparation for all paints is practically the same, for example, let's take the paint "Estelle":
- squeeze the required amount of paint from the tube into a special dish;
- add a few drops of a special emulsion, it comes with the kit and already contains hydrogen peroxide. One tube of paint requires 12-15 drops, so calculate the proportions yourself;
- mix thoroughly.
There are professional paints, for example, RefectoCil. For such products, you need to buy an oxidizing agent separately, it is not included in the kit. It is better to choose a product of the same brand, in this case RefectoCil Oxidant 3% will do. Paint preparation:
- squeeze 1 cm of paint out of the tube;
- add 5 drops of oxidizing agent;
- mix thoroughly;
The paint must be used immediately after preparation, it cannot be stored.
Dyeing process
- Eyebrows, as well as the skin around them, should be washed, degreased and thoroughly disinfected.
- Protruding hairs are trimmed, and the rest are carefully combed and styled along the linegrowth.
- The skin, under/above the eyebrows is smeared with oil or cream - if it is inconvenient to work in polyethylene gloves, you can do without them.
- The prepared mixture is applied to the scalp, as well as to the skin that needs painting (to create the perfect eyebrow line).
- Composition usually requires fifteen minutes exposure.
- After - everything is washed off with a cotton pad dipped in warm water.
If an inexperienced beauty accidentally dyed her skin in an “unnecessary” place, then it should be thickly covered with a fat cream as soon as possible, and after a few minutes just removed with a cotton pad.
