Properly and clearly designed eyebrows are an integral part of any makeup. But often, in order to give them the necessary shape and beautiful appearance, you have to resort to painting. We will talk about how eyebrows are painted today and what they use for this, in this article.
To date, you can change or correct their natural color in three ways: by painting with special paint, using a pencil of the corresponding color, or by making a tattoo. We’ll talk in more detail about the first two methods simply because they are less expensive and easy to do at home.
Pencil coloring
Now we will directly proceed to how the eyebrows are painted with a pencil. You can use this method only in cases where you need to make them half a light or darker.
In order to achieve the expressiveness of the eyebrows, it is necessary to begin their coloring from the growth line on the nose and smoothly move to the corners of the eyes. The movements should be soft, stroking. If you draw a continuous line, you get a theatrical effect. Such eyebrows will look unnatural. To achieve the best result, you should use pencils in two shades at once: one (the darkest) is applied to the widest part of the eyebrow, and the second - starting from its middle.
How do experts color eyebrows? As a rule, they begin to work only after applying powder to the face. In this case, it’s much easier to do it right and you can immediately assess the quality. This advice is worth considering. Coloring eyebrows with a pencil is suitable for those girls who by nature have thicker and more expressive eyebrows. This procedure will have to be done almost daily. If for some reason you cannot or do not want to do this every day, you should consider painting the eyebrow.
Special dyeing
Specialized remedies should be preferred. Do not use those that are designed for hair. So how do you dye your eyebrows?
The process itself is very similar to dyeing ordinary hair. In a glass container, the paint and developer are mixed, then the resulting mixture is applied to the eyebrow hairs with a special brush or cotton swab and left for the time specified by the manufacturer. Depending on the chosen brand, the timing of exposure to the product may be different. Then the eyebrows are thoroughly cleaned of paint with a cotton pad, washed with water and, if necessary, remove its residues on the skin with special means. It is not necessary to visit a specialist, because you can paint your eyebrows at home yourself. The main thing is to comply with all the manufacturer's recommendations and carefully carry out all the manipulations.
How to choose the right shade
However, simply dyeing the eyebrows is not enough, you still need to choose the right color. For brown-haired women it is best to use pencils and paint in dark brown or black colors. Owners of blond hair are more suitable for gray and light brown shades. Eyebrow color should not be darker or lighter than the color of the hair by more than three tones. Otherwise, you risk looking not just unnatural, but even funny. Of course, every woman herself decides what color to dye her eyebrows. However, one should think a hundred times about choosing the right shade.
