INNA CODRU , NOVEMBER 23, 2017
If you come to the master knowing exactly what shape and what color you want to have eyebrows, you will have a simple procedure that will take about an hour. It’s more difficult with the wish “make me a perfect eyebrow.” In this case, just choosing the desired sketch may take longer than the procedure itself.
Indeed, despite the general "canons of beauty", the thickness, color and shape of the eyebrows have many nuances: Hollywood, French and other makeup schools treat them differently. How can it be?
Eyebrows do not have to be "perfect" if they, when viewed from the side, distract from the imperfections of your face and emphasize its advantages. Eyebrows should make the face harmonious in order to give it the desired expression that reflects the personality of a woman.
So, if you are not sure what you want, and you are doing permanent eyebrow makeup for the first time, it is better to visit a professional makeup artist first, and not experiment in the first beauty salon that comes across. A good, professional master will make a preliminary correction and coloring of the eyebrows. The master will do exactly what you should like. After that, it will be possible to either maintain the shape you like on your own, or go to the salon. It is much better to choose what you have already tried on yourself, rather than making important decisions based on a sketch that you were offered and you do not know exactly how it will look on your face.

They are unsightly and can greatly spoil our beautiful face. There are quick ways to get rid of them. "Be beautiful"
Eyebrow color
The choice of dyes used for permanent eyebrow makeup is based on the color of your skin and the color of your hair:
- brunettes and also light brown brunettes , different shades of chocolate colors are recommended. And with a more “cold” hair color, dark gray colors are suitable;
- for blondes to use something in a light brown range (2-3 shades), the colors are slightly darker than the color of the hair;
- brunettes with dark skin - brown, almost black (but not completely black - it will have to be used for eye makeup or eyelash extensions) ;
- brown hair and hair with an ashy or smoky tint go well with gray tones;
- golden brown or terracotta colors are suitable for redheads
- for owners of gray , brown and gray are more suitable.
When choosing the color of the eyebrows, it is also important to consider the color of the eyes. A wide palette of dyes for permanent makeup allows you to choose exactly the shade that will look quite contrasting and, at the same time, finished. If you dye your hair, then the choice of color for permanent makeup of the eyebrows is especially important. For if the color of the hair changes, then it is necessary to change the color of the eyebrows, otherwise the color harmony is violated.
Thickness and shape
There are more than a hundred different eyebrow shapes in the collection of stencils for any makeup artist and rulers (permanent makeup specialist). The main ones are:
By form:
rounded |
Straight |
curved |
with a kink |
The shape of the eyebrows affects the facial expression: raised eyebrows give it a surprised expression, discarded - unfriendly, arched - playful.
Bend Height:
High |
Average |
Short |
The choice of shape based on the natural growth contours of the eyebrows and their correction, taking into account the individual proportions of the face.
If you wear glasses, do not forget to take them with you so that you and the master can evaluate sketched eyebrows with and without glasses. Glasses can be a decoration on your face, but they can also destroy all its harmony. Although, of course, it is better to choose sunglasses for the face, and not vice versa.

Properties and use of natural cosmetic oils in skin and hair care. "Be beautiful"
Eyebrow makeup is designed to emphasize natural beauty, draw attention to the eyes, make them more expressive, and make the face younger. Thus, in most cases it is not necessary to go beyond the growth of the eyebrows, these are fairly minimal changes.
Ways and methods of eyebrow correction
Pencil. This method can be called the simplest. The pencil allows you to simply “finish” the hairs, make the eyebrows a little longer and more expressive. The main thing to remember is not to overdo it, because everything should look natural. Do not forget such tools designed for eyebrow correction, such as powder and shadows. They will help fill in empty spaces and slightly change the color. Shadows are also quite easy to finish the missing hairs. Powder, in turn, allows makeup to go on more evenly and last longer.
Tweezers. This tool allows you to reshape your eyebrows by removing excess hairs. It is also a fairly simple method, but for the first time it is recommended to carry out this operation in the cabin. The specialist will be able to choose the best shape for you and show you how to pluck the hairs correctly. After that, you can do it yourself at home, using purchased stencils or just "by eye".
Some use Trimmer . This device is indispensable when you need to slightly correct the shape before visiting a beauty salon. The device can easily remove even short hairs. In the future, of course, trimmed hairs will grow back faster than plucked ones, but a make-up artist-cosmetologist can easily correct any mistakes you make.
Professionals often use Thread . What are the advantages - speed and long-term (up to 3 weeks) visible effect. Plus, thread correction allows you to get rid of not only all unwanted hairs, but also the "fluff" (due to which a long-lasting effect is achieved).
The disadvantage of the procedure is that it is quite difficult to carry it out on your own, especially without sufficient practice. And for a beginner, such a technique will be completely difficult to perform. For this procedure, a special cotton or cosmetic thread is used.
First, the ends of the thread are tied together and twisted in such a way that a loop is formed. Next, the loop gently picks up the hairs and pulls them out sharply. You need to repeat the procedure until the eyebrow acquires the desired shape.
-- WE SELECT THE HAIRDRESS UNDER THE SHAPE OF YOUR FACE --
What types of hairstyles or haircuts are best suited for your face shape. "Be beautiful"
Coloring with henna or paint. The so-called biotatuage. Eyebrows can be tinted with paint, the effect of which will last from 1 to 3 weeks (depending on the paint). But it is better to use henna for staining, it is more harmless. If hair can be dyed with any henna, then it is better to use Indian henna for eyebrows, and it is better to do it, of course, in the salon. The effect of such coloring will last up to three weeks, this is a fairly good method of adjusting the eyebrows and giving them expressiveness.
Tattoo. This is something between makeup and a tattoo. The better it is done, the more difficult it will be to distinguish it from good makeup. Thus, you can get rid of problems with eyebrow correction for a long time, you will only need to renew your tattoo every 2-3 years, depending on the type of skin. It can also be done using stencils. It is especially relevant when scars or deformation of the eyebrows after an injury do not make it possible to do a simple make-up.
laser correction. It can also be called laser hair removal or photoepilation. In modern cosmetology, when carrying out eyebrow correction, laser hair removal has become quite widespread. It is carried out using a laser, with a wavelength of 1064 nm. The principle of operation of this method is as follows - the laser beam targets a specific hair follicle and heats it up. As a result of such exposure, the hair dies once and for all.
The procedure is generally comfortable and virtually painless. Plus, it doesn't take too long. In order to be able to get rid of unwanted hairs forever, you need to go through about 4 to 6 sessions with an interval of one and a half to two months.
In principle, this is all that can be said about modern methods of stylistics and eyebrow correction.
However, it would be appropriate to mention such "helpers" when carrying out eyebrow correction as Templates (stencils) , which greatly facilitate the process itself. They are made of plastic, and it would be better to purchase them in a set with cosmetics for correction. From the set itself, choose the stencil that you would like to use, which suits you. Then powder a little eyebrow, put your stencil on it and with a dark-colored pencil or shadows, outline the contours. After that, the hairs that will be outside this contour will need to be removed. Everything is quite simple, fast and without unnecessary nerves.
