The beauty of female eyebrows has been sung by poets at all times.
It is well-groomed eyebrows that can make the image of a lady harmonious and impeccable.
They magically emphasize the charm of the eyes and give expression to the face.
Modern fashion trends are forcing the fair sex to take care not only of their shape, but also of color.
Eyebrows should organically fit into the overall image of a woman, since too pale or intense shade, as well as an uneven line, can spoil even professional makeup.
How to color eyebrows at home: is it possible?
Perfect eyebrows by nature are a rare occurrence. At the same time, not all women can afford to do their correction in professional beauty salons, so many learn to tidy themselves up at home.
Eyebrow color intensity can be changed using:
• tattoo
• powder
• shadows
• gel
• carcasses
• cosmetic pencil,
• paints.
Each of these methods and cosmetic products has its advantages and disadvantages. Today I would like to dwell on the eyebrow paint. Staining gives a long-term result. The procedure does not take much time and allows you to enjoy the effect of soft tattoo for two to three weeks. Special paint is able to dye even small hairs, making eyebrows as expressive as possible.
Often, women choose to paint a special paint in the summer. In hot weather, the color will not leak and will not smear even after contact with water.
Contraindications
Before dyeing eyebrows, you should familiarize yourself with the contraindications. So, staining is not recommended in the following cases:
• with individual intolerance to the components of the dye;
• with sensitive and prone to irritation skin;
• in the presence of infectious diseases of the eyes;
• during pregnancy and lactation.
How to color eyebrows at home: choose a paint
You need to choose a shade for eyebrows very carefully. Their color should be only one tone darker than the color of the hair. Specialists pay attention that the blue-black paint looks excellent on the eyebrows of brunettes, blondes suit light brown color and colors with grayish shades, and red-haired beauties - brown. Owners of dark eyebrows should not opt for pure black colors. Dark brown and dark gray shades will look more natural and harmonious on their face.
In no case should you dye your eyebrows with regular hair dye. The composition of this product contains substances that can damage the structure of the hairs and have a negative effect on the skin of the eyelids, cause allergies and swelling.
When choosing a hair dye, you should pay attention to its durability and safety. The cosmetic market offers an abundance of eyebrow tinting products. It is difficult to unequivocally answer the question of which paint is better. It depends on the individual preferences of the girl. Meanwhile, in Russia, the funds of such well-known brands as are most popular:
• Rocolor,
• Schwarzkopf Professional,
• Estel Professional,
• Refectocil,
• Studio,
• Art Line,
• Concept.
In the packaging of high-quality eyebrow paint you will always find a mixing container and a convenient applicator for applying the product. Some brands delight buyers of their products with special protective leaflets.
If you intend to dye your eyebrows all the time, then it is better to dwell on more resistant paints, which do not contain hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. You can use this tool less often, reducing harm to the skin. For women who saturate the shade of eyebrows from time to time, paints with a hypoallergenic formula are perfect.
How to color eyebrows at home: painting technology
Now that the paint is selected, you can begin to dye the eyebrows. No need to rush and immediately apply paint to the hairs. First, it is recommended to adjust the shape of the eyebrows with a pencil and tweezers. The exact and correct shape of future colored eyebrows guarantees you a perfect result.
Determine the shape of the eyebrows
With a pencil draw a "stencil". Professional makeup artists recommend doing this with a light pink pencil. The beginning of the eyebrow is determined by drawing a vertical line from the wing of the nose. The end of the eyebrow will be the point obtained by crossing the line that connects the outer corner of the eye and the wing of the nose with the eyebrow itself. The break point will be shown by a line drawn through the wing of the nose and the outer part of the iris.
It is important to maintain maximum symmetry during the procedure. We extract the extra hair with tweezers, which must first be disinfected.
Do not blindly follow fashion. Perfect eyebrows should look natural and harmonious on the face.. Using the shape of eyebrows, you can visually expand too narrow a face, wide - to make it softer and nicer. Owners of an oval shape of the face are suitable for romantic arched brow. Women with a round face and a triangular face look excellent with raised eyebrows. Long eyebrows will make the square shape more tender, oblong - almost straight.
Tools necessary for coloring
Staining itself is best done the day after correction, so that the paint does not get into the wounds and does not lead to irritation. Also, before painting, you must read the instructions that come with the product. Now we are preparing all the necessary tools. For the procedure you will need:
• oily cream;
• gloves;
• plastic container for mixing paint and oxidizing agent;
• synthetic brush or brush for applying the product;
• napkins or cotton swabs.
Be sure to do a test for an allergic reaction to the composition of the product. Experts advise trying on a site with sensitive skin, for example, behind the ear. If after a period of time no burning, redness or itching occurred on the "experimental" site, then the paint can be safely used for eyebrows.
Eyebrow Tinting Procedure
Eyebrow tinting should be done on an absolutely clean and dry face. Gently apply the fat cream to the skin around the eyebrows. Mix paint with an oxidizing agent in a container in the proportions specified in the instructions of a particular manufacturer.
Apply the resulting coloring composition to the eyebrows with a thick even layer. If necessary, use several layers. Take your time and be very careful: paint should never get into your eyes.
The exposure time of the paint is from 10 to 15 minutes. The longer the product is kept on the eyebrows, the more intense the shade. The dye not only changes the color pigment of the hairs, but also affects their structure, so you should not overexpose the time specified in the instructions.
Then the paint must be removed with napkins or cotton swabs and be sure to wash your face with warm water. Skin paint can be easily removed with water-resistant makeup remover and regular cotton swab. Now you will not have a question how to color eyebrows at home. Everything is very simple!
Secrets for eyebrow dyeing from makeup artists
Makeup artists emphasize that you need to dye your eyebrows one at a time, and not both at once. If you used the paint for the first time and got too dark a shade, do not rush to despair. You can wash off excess paint by lathering a cotton swab and wiping it with eyebrows. Eyebrows that are too thin by nature can be made thicker if, when staining, the lower border of the eyebrow is drawn slightly below its natural line. In this case, the coloring composition should be applied not only to the hairs, but also to the skin itself.
How to color eyebrows at home: causes of failure
Coloring eyebrows at home does not take much time and, following all the recommendations, always gives excellent results. Staining may fail if:
• Use a re-prepared ink composition.
• apply expired paint.
• dye hairs without preliminary eyebrow correction.
To preserve the beauty of the eyebrows, you should use the simple advice of specialists. They recommend staining them no more than once a month. This will avoid hair loss and damage to their structure. Experts also note that you can achieve the best possible result if you do not use a brush with which the paint is equipped for painting, but a small synthetic brush.
Care for colored eyebrows
Beauticians pay attention to the fact that eyebrows need constant care. They should be periodically lubricated with nutritious oils and creams, make vitamin masks. So, compresses from warm oil give amazing results. Almond, olive and peach oils are especially good for eyebrows. Simply moisten any of them with a cotton pad and apply to the eyebrows for 15 minutes. Wash off the remaining oil with water.
Also, the condition of the hairs can be improved by massage the eyebrow area. Fingertips need to make "striking" movements in the direction from the nose to the temples. Such self-massage helps to increase blood circulation. It allows you to increase the density of the eyebrows and enhance their growth. Remember to brush your eyebrows every day.
Now you know how to color eyebrows at home. Following simple tips, you can achieve a professional result. You no longer want to spend time and money on expensive salons. Beautifully designed eyebrows favorably emphasize the cut of the eyes and divert the attention of others from minor imperfections of makeup.
