In the process of working your hands should be free. The mirror should be placed in a well-lit area, its size should be such that you can see it as a whole face.

In addition to the usual mirror, professionals usually use a magnifying lens, which is completely justified. With the help of this device it is possible to see the smallest and lightest hairs and to carry out a better “thinning”.

Also need tweezers. It should have beveled, well-ground ends that tightly interlock with each other. It is better to have another kind of tweezers - with flatter ends. This tool will be required for finishing adjustments.

When plucking tweezers need a thread. It should not be too thin and fleecy, and should not stretch. Now on sale you can find special threads, which is very convenient.

It is also necessary to prepare cotton pads, disinfectant composition.

Owners of delicate and hypersensitive skin may also require an anesthetic cream and silicone pads. The latter must be placed in advance in the refrigerator. Instead of pads, you can also freeze chamomile decoction in ice tins. After the procedure, it will be possible to wipe the working area with ice to remove swelling, redness and irritation.

If you wish, and a little dexterity, you can pull out the eyebrows at home, saving on the services of a master. Correctly pluck eyebrows not with artificial, but natural light, that is, it is better to carry out the procedure in the morning or afternoon hours.

You need to pull out the bottom, sometimes the upper hairs are enough to cut. When plucking from the top you need to be careful not to remove the "necessary". As a rule, hair in this zone grows long enough. In addition, this technique makes the look gloomy, as the eyebrows begin to hang over the skin.

Pull the hair with tweezers need a sharp movement, at a time should capture one hair. It should be removed only in the direction of growth.

If you slightly tighten the skin over the place where you work, it will not hurt. The main thing is not to delay the skin too much, because in the area of ​​the eyes it is very gentle.

Too long, non-plucked hair can be pre-cut. After you have drawn the pencil shape of your eyebrows, you should comb the hairs up. Those of them that are far beyond the border of the pencil line can be cut with special eyebrow scissors. If there are none, then the usual manicure will do, but with smooth cutting surfaces.

When shearing is better to grab 2-4 hairs, avoiding cutting along the line. Otherwise, when combing hair in the right direction, you risk getting “bald spots”.

If on the bridge of the nose, as well as in the upper part of the eyebrow, in fact, already on the forehead, a lot of hair grows, you can use wax to remove it. Cosmetic wax should be heated, applied to cleansed skin, wait for freezing and with a sharp movement to remove from the skin along with unwanted hairs.

The main thing when working with wax is to apply it precisely on those surfaces where there is a large accumulation of hair that does not belong to the eyebrow zone. Otherwise, you risk being completely without them. Directly correction can be performed only with tweezers or thread.

The brow should be thicker at the beginning, gradually tapering towards the end. Stylists recommend keeping one thickness from the beginning to the bend.

There are several methods of eyebrow plucking, but regardless of the method chosen, the first stages of the procedure are the same for all of them.

Correctly pluck eyebrows can only start this process with makeup removal. It should be removed in this area cosmetics, using cleansing milk, lotion. At the same stage, the working area and tweezers should be disinfected.

Pre-cosmetic pencil should outline the point of the beginning of the eyebrow and its end, as well as the highest possible point of bending.

You can build the first point by placing a pencil to the wing of the nose and directing it to the corner of the eye. Just above the corner of the eye should start eyebrow, this place is marked by a point.

Also holding a pencil at the wing of the nose, you should unfold it so that it falls on the outer corner of the eye. Above this point the brow should end.

Finally, having drawn an imaginary line from the wing of the nose through the pupil, mark the resulting spot on the eyebrow with a point - here will be the top of the kink.

The resulting points should be connected, given the selected form.

Carrying out this procedure at home implies a phased implementation of the following manipulations:

1. Eyebrow preparation. This stage involves removing makeup, disinfecting surfaces, hands and tools and drawing a future shape with a cosmetic pencil.
2. Giving the hairs the right direction. Hair with a special comb or brush for mascara washed from mascara should be combed in the direction of growth, that is, slightly lifting up.
3. Correction. Extra hairs should be picked up with tweezers at the bottom, slightly pull the skin in this area and with a sharp movement pull the hair out with tweezers. Similarly, remove all excess hair.
4. Disinfection. After the procedure, the area to be treated must be re-sanitized. In case of severe pain, rub the skin with ice.

According to many girls, thinning eyebrows with a thread is less painful, but this method requires skill. First of all, you also need to clean and prepare the processing area.

After that, you must perform the following steps:

1. Apply a little powder to the skin around the eyebrows, this will avoid pinching it with thread.
2. Take a suitable thread about 50 cm long, tie its ends, stretch the resulting ellipse between the fingers of both hands.
3. Form a thread of "eight", several times twisting the resulting loop in the middle.
4. The loops of the "eight" should be positioned between the thumb and index fingers of each hand. By folding and spreading your fingers, you must shift the center of the "eight". It is better to practice beforehand to manage the "loop".
5. Position the twisted loop opposite the eye, move the center of the "eight" (one of the triangles of the "eight" will decrease).
6. The angle of the second triangle should be brought to the hair. Relaxing the fingers of the second hand should grab a hair.
7. With a sharp movement, pull the hair out. Repeat the procedure for the remainder of the brow.

Today, there is an easier way to pluck eyebrows - using special stencils. A matching stencil must be purchased at a specialty store. Then a stencil should be applied to the cleaned eyebrow area and the resulting “drawing” should be drawn with a sharply sharpened pencil.

Now it remains only to remove the stencil, comb the hairs along the growth line and pull out those that extend beyond the pencil lines. The advantage of this method is its simplicity. The disadvantage is the inability to take into account all the individual features of the form and facial features.

Further care may include daily (usually held at bedtime), acupressure eyebrow massage, application of cosmetic oils and nourishing masks on them.However, such manipulations should be abandoned if your eyebrows are colored. The paint in this case will not hold, its shade may change.

Mandatory care event is regular brushing eyebrows with a special brush. If it doesn’t exist, a regular brush from an old mascara will do as well, although it needs to be washed and dried well. Combing provides a gentle massage effect, smoothes hairs and causes them to take the right direction. Comb eyebrows need in the direction of the temples, slightly lifting them.

In addition to care, in some cases, eyebrows need to apply cosmetics on them. It is necessary to fill the skin at the site of missing hairs, giving the eyebrows more expressiveness. It is important to use a pencil or a shade to match the brow color by drawing thin lines over the hair growth. All lines must be shaded to obtain a natural effect.

Choosing a shade of shadows, you should focus on the hair color. Eyebrows should be in tone hair or half a tone darker. For evening makeup, you can choose a shade of eyebrows a tone darker than hair color. It is better to use special shadows, as well as a brush with a beveled tip.

Professionals usually perform a darker color bend and tip of the eyebrow, and a lighter shade is applied to the beginning of the eyebrow, carefully shading the border between colors. This allows you to give the image a soft, natural.

For long-term preservation of the shade, you can use special paints or contact the master of permanent makeup.

If the nature of the hairs are too rare or there is an unsuccessful correction, eyebrows can be restored. Natural oils, regular massage and combing will help in it.

It is impossible to carry out the procedure in the presence of inflammation, swelling and redness in the treated area. Pustules are also a contraindication to the procedure, because it threatens with the development of a more extensive and serious inflammation.

Immediately before going outside, plucking is not recommended, as the skin becomes more vulnerable to the effects of high and low temperatures, UV rays, and wind. Dirt and dust can penetrate into the skin micro-damages and enlarged pores, causing inflammation.

For the same reason (the risk of micro-inflammation) it is not necessary to immediately dye your hair with dyed paint or use cosmetics immediately after the procedure.

Menstruation is not a contraindication to the procedure, but it is useful to know that during this period most women feel pain more acutely and the risk of developing inflammation is higher. A similar effect should be expected 2-3 days before the onset of menstruation. It is believed that the optimal time for cosmetic manipulation and correction is the middle of the cycle.

Quickly and without pain, hairs can be removed using pre-hot compresses. To do this, prepare a decoction of chamomile, and when it becomes warm, soak a cotton swab in the broth and apply it to the eyebrows for a couple of minutes. After that, the pores will open, the hairs will be plucked easier and the procedure will be almost painless. In addition, chamomile has an antiseptic and mild analgesic effect. The steaming will have to be repeated every 5-7 minutes, as the fleece will cool down.

If the hairs are not enough to get the desired shape, they need to be grown, filling in for this period “gaps” with special eyebrow shadows. Accelerate the process of growing allows regular eyebrow lubrication with castor oil. It is more convenient to do this before bedtime, after clearing the skin of the face and hands.Next, you should put some oil on your index fingers and rub it into your eyebrows with massage movements.

Burdock and peach oil also show a beneficial effect, making the hairs soft and shiny. It is important to apply oil in a warm form, for which it can be heated in a water bath.

Staining is done before plucking or 3-4 days after the procedure. It is not necessary to resort to staining immediately after plucking, since the paint can penetrate into the open pores and the resulting micronutrient, causing inflammation.

If you are making a correction for the first time, it is better to entrust this process to a professional. He will pick up the correct shape and shade of eyebrows, you will only support them.

Many girls first draw one eyebrow, and then proceed to the second. However, with this approach, they are often obtained asymmetrical or “plucked”. It is much more correct to work on both eyebrows at once, that is, having formed a bend on one, it is necessary to proceed to the other, and then return again to the first to work in the tip area, etc.

When correcting eyebrows, it is important to observe their harmonious combination of shape and features of the face. It is important to choose the right volume and shade.

Another option for girls with a rounded face is more straight eyebrows, having a smooth ascent from the middle and ending with a rounded tip.

Owners of an oval or elongated face and classic, regular features are advised to choose moderately thin natural curves.

If there is a square face and a heavy chin characteristic of such an oval, one should strive to make the eyebrow more rounded and ascending.

When choosing the shape and color of eyebrows, you should consider the type of appearance. So, the blonde lady of Slavic appearance to face more thin eyebrows to match the hair.

Oriental beauties can "wear" wider eyebrows with a pronounced bend. As a rule, they by nature have a bright eyebrow tint, which coincides with the hair color.
