Eyebrows have never taken such an important place in facial makeup as they do now. Fashionistas of all ages succumbed to the surging cult of eyebrows. The entire female population from 11 to 70 is trying to make them beautiful and fashionable.
But not so long ago, women, applying makeup, quickly ran a pencil over thin plucked eyebrows and no longer paid any attention to this part of the face. Young girls, and even more so young girls, did not really care about eyebrows. Young fashionistas, while studying at school, secretly dyed their lips and eyelashes from their parents.
Now everything has changed: the first makeup product for schoolgirls and not only - for eyebrows.
And indeed, neatly shaped eyebrows of the correct shape give the face a beautiful, well-groomed look.
Correct form
Instead of long-outdated thin eyebrows, "strings" came wide fluffy forms. Now beauties do not tend to pluck their eyebrows, they remove only a small amount of excess hairs. The main procedures for makeup and eyebrow correction are:the correct form, giving volume, coloring in the desired color.
Care products
The arsenal of eyebrow care products is impressive. Recently, novelties have constantly appeared on the cosmetics market, and it is impossible to keep track of them without being a professional.
For example, the beauty industry suggests using the following products to care for eyebrows:
- pencil;
- shadows;
- tassel;
- tweezers;
- brush;
- gel to fix the result;
- hair extension gel;
- henna for coloring;
- corrector;
- fondants;
- rulers and stencils for painting.
For all these products you need at least a separate cosmetic bag, and how to apply them correctly is impossible to figure out without instructions and advice.
Many women are interested in the question: what is an eyebrow ruler and how to use it correctly?
Rulers and stencils for shaping eyebrows
One of the modern "gadgets" are various rulers and stencils for eyebrows.
The ruler is a plate with a zero mark in the center and divisions (price 1 mm) on the right and left sides.
How to make the shape of the eyebrows with a ruler, we will tell below. Such a device is used for correction, makeup, permanent makeup and eyebrow coloring. With the help of a ruler, it is convenient to maintain symmetry, take into account the proportions and features of the face.
Eyebrow stencil is a plastic plate on which the eyebrow shape is cut intolife size to transfer it to the face with cosmetics.
The stencil is simply applied to the eyebrow and filled in with a pencil or shadow.
Types of rulers
The following types of eyebrow rulers can be distinguished:
- Reusable plastic. When using this ruler, you can apply previously fixed marks. There is no additional cost to purchase a new device. How to use a reusable eyebrow ruler is well known in salons. Of course, this requires sterilization.
- Disposable rulers. Such a "gadget" is used in salons. After you make the shape of the eyebrows with a ruler, you can simply throw it away. In addition, the devices are convenient because they are most often made on a sticky basis, so it is convenient to fix them on the face. But when choosing such rulers, one must take into account that their use will be more expensive than reusable ones.
- Straight. Without notches and roundings. This is a regular line for modeling eyebrows. How to use it, professionals know.
- For beginners, rulers with arched cutouts under the eyebrow and a notch in the middle are more suitable.
- Rulers with a cutout in the middle. With their help, it is more convenient to find the middle of the eyebrow.
Types of stencils
The stencil ruler for eyebrows stands out in a separate view. How to use such a device? The main thing is to choose the right form.
The following types of stencils are distinguished:
- Reusable and single use. The advantages and disadvantages are the same as the rulers.
- Single. Such a stencil must be held by hand. You can even make it yourself.
- Self-adhesive, on both eyebrows at once. It is convenient in that it does not need to be held, but it happens that it is not suitable for a certain oval of the face.
- Fixed on the head with a strap.
- In the form of a stamp. Sold in sets along with eyebrow shadows, just dip this device in the shadow and press it on the eyebrow. The main thing is to choose the right stencil shape and stamp location.
Golden Ratio
Since ancient times, the law of the golden ratio discovered by Fibonacci has been known. It lies in the observance of ideal proportions. All wildlife and even the Galaxy obey this law.
People have been using it in life for a long time: the most famous architectural structures, famous paintings, even Pushkin's poems obey the "golden" rules.
The human body is also arranged according to the rules of the golden section. So for example:
- body length from shoulders to top of head / head size is 1:1.618;
- the length from the navel to the crown of the head / from the shoulders to the crown are 1:1.618.
Of course, a person could not but use such a law for his beauty.
Stephen Marquardt took into account all face ratios and calculated the "beauty mask". The mask is a 3D model consisting of intersecting lines (the sides of pentagons). Features of the most beautifulfamous faces of the world fit this model (eg Marilyn Monroe).
Make-up artists who respect themselves and their clients use these ratios when doing makeup. So, for example, the ideal shape of the nose should be equal to the distance from the hairline to the eyebrow line, from the eyebrows to the line mentally drawn under the nose.
Eyebrow shaping rules
When correcting the shape of the eyebrows, the following rules are used:
- First of all, you need to find the starting point of the ideal eyebrow. To do this, draw a vertical mental line from the depression above the wing of the nose to the intersection with the brow arch.
- The next step is to find the break of the eyebrow. To do this, draw a visual line passing through the points of the outer edges of the nostril and iris to the intersection with the eyebrow.
- After that, you need to find the end point of the eyebrow. To do this, you need to draw a mental line passing through the edge of the nostril and the outer corner of the eye to the intersection with the eyebrow.
To make it easier to find these points, it is better to use some long object, such as a brush or an eyebrow ruler, applying them to the indicated points.
