When it comes to adjusting the eyebrows, finding the right shape can be difficult, an individual approach is needed. Before starting work, it is better to make certain measurements for which a plastic ruler is used to simulate eyebrows. Beginners may not know how to use the flexible option for marking the future contour, but experienced craftsmen have already appreciated the convenience of this tool.
What is it like?
Initially, the plastic line was used in tattoo parlors when working on stencils. However, ease of use and low cost of the instrument contributed to its relocation to beauty salons. The line for the simulation is a soft plastic strip with applied divisions with a resolution of 1 millimeter. When using a ruler, it is possible to create a perfectly symmetrical pattern or, if the client has a noticeable face asymmetry, to perform a new pattern along the contour and the location of the growth of natural hairs.
Subtleties of choice
Quality eyebrow ruler is made of good, smooth, pleasant to the touch plastic without foreign smell, teeth, roughness and scuffs. Plastic bends well, maintaining its strength. When buying a tool, it is important to make sure that the manufacturer declares the hypoallergenic material used. Points marked on the ruler with a marker or pencil should be clearly visible and easy to wash off.
The divisions should be applied with a permanent, non-washable paint during processing and disinfection. It is more convenient to use a transparent tool that provides good visibility of the line of superciliary arches.
Disposable options
Nowadays, flexible disposable stencils are becoming increasingly popular. Their advantages include the following nuances.
- Sterility and no need for disinfection. Many customers prefer disposable tools, which the master prints on their eyes and discards immediately after use. Disposable rulers save time because they do not need to be processed.
- Ease of use. Disposable stencils are provided with an adhesive layer that allows you to fix the ruler on the client's face without the slightest discomfort for the entire procedure.
- Reliability. You can be sure that the stencil will not move anywhere.
- Drawing on the individual stencil speeds up work, as the master can draw a stencil as he pleases, not paying attention to the additional or erroneous lines.
The disadvantages of disposable tools traditionally include its cost. With careful handling plastic flexible ruler serves for a long time. Purchasing a reusable line quickly pays for itself, while consumable disposables are bought again and again.
What to choose - the master decides. Someone prefers to work with a proven tool, someone more important than the time saved on cleaning the ruler.
Why are measurements so important?
During the day, a person laughs, frowns, skeptically bends his eyebrow, purses his mouth, grins wryly. Thus, the face may be slightly asymmetrical, which is imperceptible to others with the natural shape of the eyebrow, but it immediately catches the eye if they are incorrectly corrected.
A wizard who will make perfectly symmetrical eyebrows can do a disservice to a client, emphasizing the unnaturalness of her new look.
Measurement and shape determination prior to cosmetic manipulations ensure perfect rendering after the procedure. Using simple calculations personalizes the data, allowing you to make an informed choice of the future onions.
The measurement result resembles an irregular quadrilateral. The master will be able to repeat the design each time, the outlines will be the same in shape, height and length. Measurements will help draw the next contour so that the face looks symmetrical. For measurements, the master selects the “best” eyebrow - with the most even, smooth hairs.
Interestingly, if a person is right-handed, then his “best” eyebrow is likely to be on the left. This is due to the lower probability of overloading the facial muscles on the other side of the “working” arm.
Contour definition
Before starting work, the master on the stencil marks the natural hairline. Then, after discussing the necessary changes with the client, a new stencil is drawn. To determine the place of the beginning of drawing, bending and ending, you must perform the following steps.
- Find a starting point. The ruler is located vertically up to the forehead, on an imaginary line from the center of the nostrils, intersecting with the highest point of the hairline. This place is marked with a vertical line, which corresponds to the natural thickness and height of the eyebrows.
- Find the beginning of the brow curve. The ruler is positioned vertically on or near the imaginary edge of the iris. Where it crosses the upper hairline, there should be a bend. Incorrectly located point gives the effect of "surprised raised eyebrow."
- Determine the end point. The ruler tilts from the outer edge of the nostrils to the outer corner of the eye. At the point where the ruler intersects the brow arc, you should finish the drawing. Compliance with this rule is crucial in creating the entire contour, since it is impossible to underestimate the hairline excessively, this inadvertently makes the girl always look sad or tired.
The resulting pattern is used for a long time to correct the shape. When you re-apply to the same master, the key points of the new pattern will be set faster and easier.
Drawing
The resulting points and lines are connected in order to see exactly where you need to finish or remove hair, how to adjust the shape, draw eyebrows with a pencil or use powder.
It is necessary to take into account not only the shape of the natural curve, but also the type of facial contours. Broad lines will not suit wide lines, and narrow “butterfly wings” are contraindicated for women with a round face. The individuality of an elongated oval face is emphasized by eyebrows, curved a little more than usual.
If the resulting eyebrow is a bit short, you may need to adjust the starting point. For this, the length of the eyebrow is increased by several millimeters towards the center of the nostrils. If the shape of the eyebrow was initially incorrectly adjusted, it would take a long time to restore the hairs and draw a new shape.
Due to the asymmetry of the face, one should not take for the main starting line an imaginary straight line passing through the middle of the forehead. Much more accurately determine the shape of the eyebrows separately for the left and right half of the face.
For marks on the face, a marker or cosmetic pencil is used. The resulting image can be supplemented and modified by the client at will, based on the natural eyebrow template that was originally created.
Before starting work, the client's skin must be degreased and disinfected with an alcohol solution.
Girls and women sometimes forget that eyebrows are an important part of their appearance. Well-groomed neat eyebrows that fit the shape of the face, help to create a harmonious image. Eyebrows emphasize the expressiveness of the eyes, helping to look stylish even without makeup.
