So how to pluck your eyebrows, choose the desired shape and thickness so that they favorably emphasize the natural data? About all this in this article.
Eyebrow shape for a specific face shape
As mentioned earlier, the shape of the eyebrow can easily both correct small flaws and clearly emphasize all that is unnecessary. Therefore, we propose to consider all forms of the face and, based on this, determine the shape of the eyebrows.
- A circle. Chubby women are best suited for the form of "houses", which has something similar to the roof of the house, namely a high central point and a sharp descent. It is categorically contraindicated with a round face to make smooth and too soft eyebrow lines, because such eyebrows will give the face even more roundness.
- Oval. With an oval shape of the face, a woman should give preference to straight eyebrows, without sharp rises.
- triangle. With this type of face, it is best if the eyebrows are slightly raised. But here it is important not to overdo it.
- Square. If your face is square in shape, then the most optimal option would be the curved line eyebrows, long and surprised.
An example in the photo, how to pluck eyebrows correctly at home, will help determine the shape.
Eyebrow plucking options
Once you have determined your face shape and identified the most correct shape of the eyebrows, it's time to move on to the procedure itself. Today, there are several ways to get rid of unnecessary facial hair. Options for tweezing eyebrows can be as follows: drawing pen, thread or facial wax. All these procedures can be carried out both at home and in the salon with a professional master. However, contrary to the new ways of creating the shape of eyebrows, most women still prefer a drawing pen (small eyebrow tweezers).
This choice is quite clear, it is the simplest and does not require any special skills in this tool.
How to prepare for the procedure
First of all, you need to prepare everything you need:
- drawing pen;
- large magnifying mirror;
- hydrogen peroxide or alcohol-containing lotion;
- straight pencil;
- cotton pads.
To carry out the further procedure, you need to make yourself comfortable near the window, with fairly good lighting. This is very important, because if the room is dark, then the small hairs will remain intact. Next, you need to disinfect the tweezers and the eyebrows themselves with alcohol and peroxide. Do not forget also that it is better to erase the make-up after all, so as not to put dirt in fresh micro-wounds.
How to pluck eyebrows?
The classic way of telling how to pluck eyebrows at home is to identify three brow points. It is from them that the shape of the eyebrow is built. Let's start from the first point. To find it, you need to vertically attach the pencil to the wing of the nose so that it reaches the beginning of the eyebrow. With the pencil straight, you’ll see where the eyebrow should begin. We put a dot or a small line in this place.
Next is the second point, it will indicate the bend of the eyebrow. To find it, you need to substitute a pencil to the wing of the nose and, looking straight ahead, stretch it straight through the pupil. Mark.
Last we find the third point of the eyebrow. To do this, put the pencil to the wing of the nose and guide it through the outer corner of the eye. Celebrate. This dot will indicate the end of the eyebrow. In the photo - plucked eyebrows according to the method of "three points".
At the end, you need to wipe the eyebrows and skin around with alcohol.
How to make eyebrows the same?
Another question that arises for those women who have not yet gotten their hands in thinning eyebrows is: "How to pluck eyebrows so that they are the same?" In fact, the result, like everything else, comes with experience. It is quite difficult to make perfectly even and identical eyebrows on the first try. But there is advice from eyebrow professionals. They suggest plucking eyebrows several hairs, first on one, then on the other. After each plucking, you need to look in the mirror, taking it a little away from yourself, and compare both eyebrows. Thus, it will be easier to equalize them.
How to avoid pain when plucking?
Very often, women and girls are scared by the very prospect of plucking hair. The process seems insanely painful, and the pain threshold for everyone is individual. To alleviate pain, ice cubes may be recommended. Attach the ice cube to the eyebrow and hold for a few seconds, after that the zone will be slightly anesthetized, you can start plucking on it.
Another good way to carry out the procedure without pain is to thoroughly steam out the skin. To do this, you can take a hot bath or use the hot bath for your face. Thus, the pores on the face open, and removing unnecessary hairs becomes not so problematic.
Eyebrow Thickness. Which one to choose?
The fashion for the thickness of the eyebrows changes quite rapidly. Even about 8 years ago, most women had eyebrows, more like strings. Merciless hair removal has led to the fact that with the transition of fashion to a new level, these same women could no longer fully grow their eyebrows back. No matter how hard they tried, they just didn’t do it, but now the eyebrows just didn’t grow. The most desperate shaved them all, and drew new finest threads with an eyebrow pencil. Fortunately, this fashion has long been behind us, and it has been replaced by a fashion for naturalness. And here came the turn of those who once complained about their excessive hairiness. And everyone rushed to urgently grow them, wanting to become owners of thick and wide eyebrows.
Today, the most stylish eyebrows are considered not too wide, but not thin. The best option is the average width and density of the eyebrow in natural shades. Below is a photo of how to pluck eyebrows, the shape of which is in trend today.
Eyebrow color
It is equally important to choose the right eyebrow color. It’s great if your hair is dark and your eyebrows have the same rich color. But there are often situations when a woman’s eyebrows are almost colorless and barely noticeable on her face. It happens that a lady who is dark-haired by nature decides to change dramatically and dyes herself blonde or vice versa. In all these cases, dyeing the eyebrows and changing the color given by nature is clearly indispensable. In order to determine whether the eyebrows look harmonious with the color of the hair, you need to remember the rule. It says: eyebrow color should be 1 tone darker than hair and 1 tone lighter than eyelashes.
If there is a discrepancy, you can either go to the salon, where they will help you dye your eyebrows in the right color, or use the paint yourself at home, or adjust the color using cosmetics. Today there are a lot of shadows, colored gels and pencils designed for eyebrows.
General rules for successful eyebrow correction
In order for the plucking procedure to be as positive as possible, you need to remember several important rules:
1. Eyebrows should be plucked only along the bottom edge. It is advisable not to touch the hairs from above at all. An exception is when noticeable hair above the eyebrow spoils the general appearance of the face.
2. It is important not to forget about the bridge of the nose. If you are generously gifted with mother nature, and eyebrows tend to grow together, then this must be fought. Sometimes the eyebrows are not fused explicitly, but with certain lighting, you can notice that some vegetation on the bridge of the nose still exists.
3. Do not forget about disinfection. Hand washing is mandatory before the procedure.
4. Do not blindly follow fashion trends. After all, the fashion will pass, and the result, which is difficult to fix, will remain with you. Also, you do not have to go against everyone and, paying tribute to fashion, make, for example, too wide eyebrows that obviously do not suit you.
5. You also need to remember that eyebrows, as well as hair, need care. Make it a rule that eyebrows should be combed and preferably gelled. If you do not use the gel, then combing the eyebrow with a thin brush upward, you will see which hairs should be shortened so that they do not grow bristled.
Following these simple rules and tips, you will learn how to create the most suitable eyebrows on your face. Remember that a sense of proportion and harmony is important in everything.
