What and how to draw beautiful eyebrows
Masha Vorslav
Thick, natural looking eyebrows which year has been considered the most beautiful, and lately many new products for them have appeared in stores like never before. Understanding the variety of cans is difficult, so we remembered all the existing ones and grouped them by function. The main thing is to understand exactly how you want to change the eyebrows (lengthen them, paint on the hair, gently accent, tint, fix), and we will tell you about the necessary tools below.
Combing
Eyebrow makeup is best to start with combing them (you need to pull out in advance: skin injured after the procedure must be healed and it should not be loaded with cosmetics). For this fit round brushes that look like ordinary mascara brushes. You can find them in any brand, cheap copies are not much different from expensive ones. There are other forms: bloggers often praise the Makeup2Makeup compact brush for not scratching the skin, but it also lays down even tight and long hairs.
Hair drawing
Pencils and markers are needed to draw the missing hairs. If you draw an eyebrow to and fro, it will come out unnaturally graphic and in natural make-up will pull more attention to itself than necessary. There are not so many requirements for a pencil: it must be sufficiently firm and sharply sharpened to draw thinly, not to redden (this is a sin of many copies) and to hold well. The markers are simpler: they draw a priori neatly, so the main thing is to find the right shade and make sure that the rod does not dry out.
Filling the gaps
To gently darken the eyebrow or fill in a separate part of it, matte shadows are best suited, the main thing is to shade them well and find the right shade. You can find it in the palette for eyebrows (Anastasia Beverly Hills produce comfortable two-color washers), and among the eye shadow. Just in case, we recall that the eyebrow looks natural, if its upper contour and the beginning are not graphic, so that it is worthwhile to be zealous with the wet method of drawing only when drawing the tip.
Hair coloring
Sometimes the shape of the eyebrow does not need to be adjusted (that is, shadows and pencils do not need anything), but it does not hurt to change the color of the hairs themselves. Here you can use colored mascara for eyebrows, tinted gels or even resistant paints. The latter should be chosen carefully and their first use is best left to the master (there is nothing shameful about asking questions during the procedure in the brow bar). By the way, ink and gel can be replaced and a pencil, if applied with a thin brush for liner.
Fixing
Any eyebrow looks neater, if the hairs are not bristling and smoothed in one direction. Viscous wax can cope with the fixation of hard eyebrows (it can also be tinted). But if the problem is not in the thickness and elasticity, but in the length of the hairs, it will be more convenient with the gel to smooth and fix them.
Brush selection
A thin brush, like MAC 209, is convenient not only to apply eyeliner, but also to draw strokes (that is, hairs). A flat, hard brush is suitable for both graphic lines and filling the entire eyebrow with shadows, and with a beveled one you can perfectly draw a bend. It is not necessary to acquire separate brushes for eyebrow makeup, but if you notice that you draw the same brush and eyebrows, it is wise to buy a double, so as not to suffer from cleaning the pile so often.
Optional accessories
All of the above allows you to solve primary tasks: to give the eyebrows the desired shape, color and fix the result until the next wash. Then comes a minor, but no less fascinating: you can emphasize the lower border of the eyebrow with light shadows or highlighter, paint it in a bright color (color ink or gel liner can do it) or slightly change the shape using special scissors or stencil.
