Eyebrow correction: types and design methods

Every woman wants to be as attractive and well-groomed as possible. Modern women have a whole arsenal of affordable and professional tools for this. Someone focuses on hair, others increase the lips or even change the shape of the nose. Many today spend correction eyebrows. Not for nothing is this close attention paid to this part of the face. Eyebrows literally can make the mood and our day. And hastily, unevenly made up can spoil it right up to the evening.

Of course, it would be ideal if the eyebrows were adjusted only slightly, as close as possible to their natural form. But unfortunately, not all women nature has awarded the correct harmonious line of eyebrows. Properly and carefully selected form in accordance with the general parameters of the face can successfully emphasize the beauty of the owner and even completely change facial expressions and expressiveness. Thus, the hairs too thick in the nose bridge make the facial expression harsh, and the outer corners downward make the look dull.

Since ancient times, ladies have changed the natural look of their eyebrows in accordance with fashion trends. In ancient Russia, “sable”, luxurious thick eyebrows were held in high esteem. Those whom nature did not give thick hair, surmili their special paint. In the twentieth century, the trend came to the line thread, thin, elegant. Now suffered from the pain and imperfections of the owner of thick eyebrows. The latest trends in fashion and makeup are more humane. They promote the naturalness given by nature. In this case, the growth line should be well-groomed, neatly decorated, consistent with the color type and in harmony with the oval of the face.

If you are not satisfied with the form given from birth, it means that you will have to refer to the correction procedure. Before choosing one of the many methods available for this, one should find out the features, advantages and disadvantages of each of them. At the same time, your natural data means a lot. It is also important to take into account such factors as: the pain threshold and individual sensitivity, the time you are willing to spend on correction monthly, the degree of desired changes (you can slightly correct the natural form or drastically change the eyebrow line and even the facial expression).

Usually the adjustment involves several steps. First, determine the shape of the face. Then from several usually 2-3 suitable forms choose the most suitable in accordance with personal wishes. Then outline the future shape and remove unnecessary hairs. The next step, if necessary, is painting the missing ones.

The look of future brows is important. After all, the completeness of the image will completely depend on it, and the expression of the face may also change. Correctly made correction can, along with a haircut, balance the oval of the face.

There are quite a lot of different forms, but they all boil down to five main types.

1. Round eyebrows are considered classics. They soften the features and make the hostess more feminine.
2. Curved eyebrows give confidence and some mysterious look.
3. Straight lines will help highlight the oval face.
4. The clear bend of the line is young and makes the whole expression light.
5. The soft transition of the line, along with the rounded shape, gives femininity and mystery.

In order for eyebrows in their new look to emphasize the beauty of their owner, it is necessary to combine their shape with the type of face shape. Professionals define it by eye. A slight narrowing in the frontal and submental area is characteristic of the oval face variety. But the widest place is the cheekbones. The chin in this case is neat and rounded. This form is considered a classic. Any kind of eyebrows is almost perfect for its happy owners. It is not necessary only to leave the outer corners of the eyebrows too low when making a correction or to place a noticeable emphasis on the beginning of the inner corner (drawing a comma as if).

The round face is characterized by the softness of the bends and the complete absence of sharp corners. It is almost the same in the longitudinal and transverse dimensions. To balance the parameters of the face and slightly stretch it in length will help eyebrows with a fairly steep bend. The main thing is that the hairline at the eyebrows does not crawl down and does not continue far beyond the end of the century. A heart shaped face has very different upper and lower parts. The forehead of these girls is often high and wide, cheekbones stand out brightly. On this background, the chin seems even narrower or sharper. From cheekbones to chin face rather sharply narrowed. This face will suit the classic shape of the eyebrows with slight bends.

An elongated face is one whose length is significantly greater than width. In this case, a woman has high cheekbones and forehead. The lower part of the face may be slightly pointed. To balance the proportions of the oval face can almost straight eyebrows with a smooth, slightly noticeable bend. It is better if they are of medium thickness. Owners of a face resembling a square, will have to soften the natural angular shapes. They have a width of the forehead, cheekbones and cheeks almost equal. The chin is also usually square with clearly defined angles. This appearance will decorate the horizontal straight eyebrows with a line beginning and ending at almost the same height. Such eyebrows should not be narrow and rare.

The diamond-shaped oval of the face is characterized by a line of cheekbones much wider than the forehead and chin. The cheekbones in this case will be quite high. The chin may have a narrow or pointed shape. For the face in the form of a rhombus eyebrows arc perfectly suited with smooth curves. If you do not know yet what type of face you are the owner of, simple measurements will help. Make it easier with a good large photo, where you are shown full face (look straight ahead with a straight body).

In order to determine the size of the face, we measure the length from the tip of the chin to the beginning of the hairline on the forehead. We divide this number by three: this is the first parameter for comparison. Then measure the length from the base of the nose to the bottom of the chin: this is the next parameter. Now both measurements need to be compared. If they are roughly correlated, then the face is oval or round. When the first dimension prevails, the face is diamond shaped. If, on the contrary, the numerical value of the second parameter is larger, then the shape is square or elongated.

There are also more rare forms of "heart", "inverted triangle" or even a combination of several types. In this case, the desired type of eyebrows is selected individually for greater harmony with the other parameters of the exterior. If you can not decide, then you should trust the specialist with experience and good taste and sense of proportion. According to experts, there are some of the most common universal recommendations that are valid for any desired shape of the eyebrows.

With a round face oval with expressive cheekbones, wide eyebrows will only emphasize the massiveness of features.The angular architecture of the face can be slightly softened if the hairline is slightly shortened from the outer edge. If you want to look younger, then a few years will help to shorten the outer end of the eyebrow, shortened and slightly raised towards the temporal areas. You should not overstate the natural line of hairs too much and paint eyebrows in the form of a comma with a distinct internal angle. It gives the face a slightly infantile and silly expression. In general, the whole correction up to the coloring should look as natural as possible and not be obvious at first glance at you.

The easiest way for women with the classic oval face shape: virtually any type of face to face. The main thing is not to overdo it with the brow line, so that the face does not look constantly surprised. Eyebrows with a moderate, but expressive bend will help to correct too round face. At the same time it is possible to inflate the rise a little. If the face is angular (square or reminiscent of a rhombus), then curved eyebrows will help soften it. A straight line at the eyebrows is simply created for an oblong face. But to equalize the pointed chin can visually be able to soft bend the oval eyebrow.

If you decide to adjust your eyebrows yourself, you should not use a razor for this. The skin around the eyes is rather tender. The result, of course, seduces with its speed, but the hairs will grow as quickly. In addition, they can become even more rigid and protruding, or even begin to grow into the skin. Tweezers - the most common and necessary tool. It should be quite comfortable. Pick it up for themselves, depending on the amount of hair removed. This determines the configuration of the exciting part.

Straight-tip tweezers are a classic look for someone who won't pull out hairs on their own. They are usually used by professionals in the salons. The tool with the slanted ends is the most universal for independent application. It makes the sensation of the procedure less painful than the usual tool. A sharp-pointed tweezer helps to more accurately correct the line when removing a small amount of hairs individually.

In addition, you will need a brush for eyebrows, a cosmetic pencil, a mirror (preferably with a slight increase), cotton pads or tampons and a disinfectant. To reduce pain, in accordance with personal preferences, you can use ice cubes or hot compresses.

So, if you managed to determine the type of face and the desired shape of the eyebrows, you can independently carry out a simple procedure for correcting eyebrows at home. With proper skill and experience, it does not take much time. This method is especially recommended for lowered or thin irregular eyebrows. In this case, you can easily adjust the hairline at home.

The advantages of the procedure are its simplicity and accessibility. Of course, it will have to be carried out more often than other types of adjustment. But if you remove individual hairs periodically (once a week), the eyebrows will always look neat. The disadvantage of plucking is painful procedure. But here everything is very individual and depends on your own pain threshold. Over time, the pain as if dulled.

Before performing the correction, it is necessary to outline the overall contour, the future bend and the desired thickness of the eyebrows. To do this with a pencil (simple or cosmetic) we find the control points of the future drawing.Both eyebrows should be made in the adjustment symmetrical with each other, that is, be the same in length, height and angle of fracture (or bending). For this purpose it is necessary to outline control points for this purpose. The starting point of the brow is one check mark. To determine it, we apply a thin instrument or a ruler to the nose: the line will go through the inner corner of the eye and the side of the nose.

The second mark controls the height of the eyebrow after adjustment. To find it, draw a straight line from the middle of the upper lip to the eyebrow at the point of intersection of the line with the pupil. This will be the most distant point of the brow line from the ends. The final mark for the length of the eyebrow is determined by a straight line, almost the same as the first. It will go through the outer side of the nose to the outer corner of the eye. If the correction was made correctly at home, then the facial expression before working on appearance and after it can be very different. To help determine this photo.

Step by step instructions for eyebrow correction looks like.

1. Following the determination of the desired contour of the eyebrows and the preparation of the necessary tools should begin correction. Before starting work, it is necessary to treat the tweezers with alcohol or another disinfectant.
2. Eyebrows are brushed with a small brush, combing that part of the hairs that will be removed, down. The rest is removed in the opposite direction.

4. Now pre-disinfect the area with which we will work. The hairs are plucked one at a time in the direction of growth (this technique helps to reduce the sensation of pain).
5. Experts recommend working with each eyebrow alternately little by little. So you can avoid mistakes and achieve the best symmetrical result.

If you have little time, or you are not completely confident in your skills, then it is best to contact the master. In addition, professional correction will be convenient for women over fifty.

Depending on the thickness of the hair on the procedure will take from 10 to 20 minutes. To reduce the sensitivity to the treated surface an anesthetic or hot compress is applied. Hair is removed one by one with a seizure at the root. Experts advise to carry out the procedure from 11 am to 3 pm. It is believed that at this time people have the lowest sensitivity threshold.

This procedure was born in the east, and now it is successfully carried out in beauty salons around the world.

The procedure involves the use of cotton thread for the correction. Its duration is 20-30 minutes. The thread is folded into a special loop, in which the master captures the hair for subsequent removal. It is preferred by those who avoid contact with instruments in the salons. Also, the method is attractive by the absence of irritation on the skin and virtually painless. If you have high sensitivity, then you will be offered a special cream.

This type of work helps to remove the shortest and finest hairs. At the same time, the skin remains perfect for at least a month. Warm wax is applied with special sticks to the skin with hair. Then the treated surface is covered with a cloth. After hardening the wax solution, carefully remove the tissue pieces. The whole procedure takes no more than 15 minutes.

It is not recommended to carry out such a correction at home, since with a lack of experience you can immediately remove a large area of ​​hair. To correct the consequences of such unsuccessful work later will be very troublesome.

Most of the fair sex after the procedure of correction and make eyebrow staining. It gives the eyes expressiveness, and the lines of the eyebrows are even more accurate and clear. It is important to correctly place accents so that the eyebrows are not much brighter than the hair on the head. The ideal is a difference of two tones.

Some women by nature are given inexpressive, too light or rare eyebrows. In this case also helps staining. It is long-term and for a short period. Coloring will help and just beautifully highlight a clear line, and paint over randomly removed extra hairs. Among the short-term methods of staining are three main.

With the help of eyebrow pencil, you can fix almost any shape and thickness. To do this, its color should be as close as possible to the natural hair color. Apply it in small short dashed lines along the hair growth. Recently it is fashionable to use special eyebrow shades. They give a more natural and beautiful effect with proper shading. To work looked good, you need some practice.

Modeling gel is applied with a special brush. Not strong fixation throughout the day allows you to save the desired shape of the eyebrow. Some are not attracted by the classical correction of eyebrows because of its troublesomeness and the need to repeat periodically. In other cases, the eyebrows are naturally asymmetrical or the hair does not lie as it should be. Then you should turn to eyebrow tattoo, which is carried out on a long-term basis. This method will allow you to enjoy the perfect shape of the eyebrows for many months. It is important to choose the right wizard, as the result will stay with you for a long time.

When using a tattoo, first a pencil draws what the eyebrow will look like in the future. If you like the result, then special coloring pigments are introduced under the top layer of the skin. With an individually low pain threshold, the master may suggest a weak anesthesia. If you decide to do a tattoo, you should know that the procedure has many contraindications. It does not make pregnant and minors suffering from diabetes and hypertension. Also, the procedure is contraindicated in inflammatory diseases.

There are also methods of staining with special persistent paints or henna. In this case, the composition is applied only to the scalp, without affecting the skin.

Owners of eyebrows without a clearly defined form or thin, poorly distinguished on the face, it is quite suitable procedure such as modeling. It is often confused with correction, but this is not entirely true. Correction of eyebrows suggests that their natural form will not be too changed, but only correct some flaws, uneven growth of the hairline or too thick hair will be cut through.

When modeling there is a dramatic change in the natural shape of the eyebrows. Their so-called “architecture” of the structure of the eyebrow arc and even of the entire face is changing completely. Often, modeling is preceded by a correction. It is also important to take into account before the procedure, many nuances, such as: the shape of the oval face, the degree of hair growth, the shape of the eyes, hair color and type of haircut, modern trends in fashion makeup.

The procedure requires a sufficient amount of time: from 40 minutes to an hour. It begins with the selection of the desired shape and thickness of the eyebrows. If they are too thick, then the hairs are partially removed using various methods: classical plucking, removal with cotton thread (oriental method), waxing or laser hair removal. Also in the salon you can offer the removal of unwanted hair from the eyebrows with the help of strips of sugar paste.

In some cases, eyebrows are trimmed with a special trimmer or special scissors. Such an event is carried out if the outgrowth hairs violate the general growth line or if the upper hair line needs to be trimmed. If the eyebrows, on the contrary, are too light or rare, then make-up, coloring or microbliding are used. The choice depends on the desired long-term make-up and the individual characteristics of the body, taking into account contraindications to certain types of procedures. For example, today's popular microblading is not recommended for girls with a European type of appearance because of their thin skin. This method came from the East and is well suited for women of the Asian race, who have thicker skin.

The next step is eyebrow makeup, which is carried out with the help of a variety of cosmetics: pencils, lipstick, gel, eye shadow, eyebrow liner. Whatever means is chosen, it should be remembered that it should be applied as carefully as possible. Lines should not be too wide or long. Make make thin, short strokes, imitating the natural growth of hair.

Choosing a shade for tinting eyebrows, you should remember a few simple rules. Black color is only burning brunettes. The rest is better to choose a tone 2-3 shades darker than the color of their hair. So the makeup will look the most harmonious. Pick up the tool in tune to the hair is also not worth it, otherwise the eyebrows will look too faded or may merge with the hair at all (especially with bangs).

Before the simulation procedure, it is important to go through a small preparatory stage. Then the result will be better. A week before the expected date should not pull out the hairs of the eyebrows. For a couple of days to have a good peeling near-brow zone.

With daily correction at home, pencil is most often used. To perform the work you need a very thin rod of medium softness. The drawing is carried out with short jerky movements in the direction of hair growth. Dash should be visible, but not too bright. It is advisable to choose a color to match your hair on the eyebrows.

For the most natural effect, shading is used.Professionals can perform them with a thin brush or a special sponge. At home, you can make feathering side or fingertips. Also used for this purpose are popular now eyebrow shades or paste. They are of different color shades in the set for the most correct selection, as at different times of the year the hair color of the eyebrows may change (for example, fade).
