Often, owners of even beautiful and spectacular eyebrows want to follow the fashion - to change their appearance a little. What can we say about those ladies who are forced daily before drawing paint for eyebrows, draw them for a long time, giving them the necessary shape. This tedious, laborious process can be avoided by using persistent coloring agents.
Tattoo or paint - what to prefer?
Eyebrows framing the face of a girl should not only be well-groomed, but also suitable for her appearance. Therefore, it is extremely important to choose the shade of a coloring product that matches the type of face, whether it is mascara, special shadows, a pencil or persistent powder.
If the beauty decides to dye the eyebrows with special means of long-term exposure, she must also be able to calculate certain proportions: the ratio of size, width, and also the depth of the eyebrow arc. And so that the final staining result matches the color selected on the package, 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 tattoo master, a trained cosmetologist.
Arguments for tattooing
The most important thing in eyebrow tattooing is the choice of a good specialist who already has some experience. Of course, it’s not worth sparing money for this kind of procedure, because you will have to wear printed “beauty” on your face for at least a year and a half. Advantages of the procedure:
- The magnificent appearance, without the need for regular correction, will greatly facilitate the life of a beautiful woman.
- The spectacular shape, color saturation of the eyebrows will give the face freshness, and look - openness.
- Tattooing, despite the apparent high cost, will help to 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 skilled tattoo artist will be able to shape the eyebrows in such a way that even the face expression of the client will change for the better.
Hidden disadvantages of tattooing
It would seem that tattooing has a lot of advantages - it really is. But few ladies are aware of the "pitfalls" hiding behind this technique:
- Fashion is extremely variable, and no one guarantees that after a couple of months the shape / width of the eyebrows, which was preferred by all fashionistas, will not change.
- The future shade also depends on how to dilute the eyebrow dye, which will be used for tattooing. Using low-grade tattoo ink that is not designed for permanent makeup, you can get terrible green / blue arcs instead of dark brown or black eyebrows.
- The durability of tattooing 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 face of the client damaged by a needle.
- An inept cosmetologist can crookedly or simply ugly draw a sketch, according to which the main tattoo drawing will be framed.
What about natural henna?
It is not uncommon for women to choose naturalness in everything, and cosmetics are no exception. They prefer natural analogs to chemicals.
In fact, most synthetic coloring components are very harmless. For example, before you make Estel eyebrow dye, you can read its composition and make sure that there is nothing harmful and life-threatening in it. In addition, based on a wealth of negative experience, responsible manufacturing companies (Estelle, Enigma, etc.) try to use hypoallergenic complexes.
Features of the use of henna:
- Henna, despite its naturalness and seeming harmlessness, often causes inadequate reactions of the body - allergic skin inflammation, lacrimation, edema.
- To breed, apply and wash off such a slurry from the face is not particularly nice.
- When using henna, it is very important to adhere to the specified exposure time "minute per minute", 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 expensive, not accessible to everyone.
It’s better to thoroughly “study” the instructions, learn how to dilute the eyebrow dye in calm home conditions, and always look great without spending any extra money.
Paint is the best option!
High-quality eyebrow dyeing will help a fashionista to be confident even in rainy / excessively hot weather, when less resistant dyes (brasmatics, shades) are simply washed off with water or “float” from sweat. Features of staining with paint:
- If there is a desire to change a little the shape of the eyebrow arc, the beauty just has to wait a couple of weeks until the paint fades.
- Together with the eyebrows, a woman can simultaneously dye, saturate with color and cilia. How to dilute the eyebrow dye in this case is worth reading on the label (the percentage of oxidizer / dye may vary).
- The hair dyeing speed is about a quarter of an hour - there is no need to spend a lot of time to create a new image.
- This type of procedure can easily be performed in a home environment. However, in order to achieve the desired effect, it is better to visit a cosmetologist a couple of times and remember the procedure.
Are there any contraindications to the paint?
For all its apparent 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 not only of painting, but also of other cosmetic procedures.
- Pimples near the “working” area, as well as abrasions / scratches and other inflammations, can cause troubles during and after staining.
- In the presence of an infectious, fungal disease, it is worth postponing such measures for the period of time necessary for treatment.
- An acute skin reaction to any oxidizing agents can lead to burns and irritation of the dermis. Before you dilute the eyebrow dye with oxide, it is worth considering alternative options - ready-made ammonia-free preparations.
For most brands of paint, pregnancy and the lactation period are not contraindications for use.
Eyebrow tinting at home
Just in case, it is worth clarifying that the dye formulations intended for hair are quite aggressive and should in no case be used as a preparation for coloring eyebrows. Such carelessness can turn out very deplorably - burns / allergies will be provided.
Preparatory Activities
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 worthwhile to carefully remove the regrown hairs - the dermis around the eyebrows should fully recover.
- In addition, it is necessary to exclude the use of peels, scrubs, brushing and everything that violates the integrity of the skin.
- The selection and purchase of a coloring matter is equally important. It is necessary to carefully read everything about the paint: composition, shelf life, method of application.
- The most popular among the beauties are fairly inexpensive, but high-quality dyes: Estelle, Verona.
- In order for the staining result to be 100% consistent with the tone declared outside the box, you should study the annotation and find out how to properly spread Estel eyebrow dye or, say, Delie, what is the exposure time, precaution, etc.
What is required for the procedure?
In order for the staining process to go smoothly, it is necessary to prepare and clean the working surface in advance, on which all tubes will stand, cotton pads, brushes and other tools. Hands should also be washed, sprinkled with an antiseptic.
A package of good paint is unpacked, and the contents are exposed next to the other tool. You will need:
- plastic stick for applying the composition;
- an insert that indicates how to breed Estel eyebrow dye or any other, what are the proportions of the oxidizing agent and coloring cream, the required exposure time, precautions;
- small mixing tank;
- oxidizing agent and cream paint.
Mixture preparation
The principle of preparation for all colors is practically the same, for example, take the paint "Estelle":
- squeeze the required amount of paint from the tube into a special bowl;
- add a few drops of a special emulsion, it comes complete and already contains hydrogen peroxide. One tube of paint requires 12-15 drops, so you calculate the proportions yourself;
- mix everything thoroughly.
There are professional paints, for example, RefectoCil. It is necessary 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% is suitable. Paint preparation:
- squeeze 1 cm of paint from a tube;
- add 5 drops of oxidizing agent;
- mix everything thoroughly;
You need to use the paint immediately after preparation, you can not store it.
Staining process
- Eyebrows, as well as the skin around them, should be washed, degreased and carefully sanitized.
- The protruding hairs are cut, and the rest are thoroughly combed and laid along the growth line.
- The skin under / over the eyebrows is lubricated with oil or cream - if working in polyethylene gloves is inconvenient, you can do without them.
- The prepared mixture is applied to the hairline, as well as to the skin that needs to be dyed (to create the perfect eyebrow line).
- The composition usually requires a fifteen-minute 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 densely covered with a thick cream as soon as possible, and after a few minutes just removed with a cotton pad.
