The eyebrows are the frame of the eyes, therefore it is essential not to forget to also make up the eyebrows to achieve a perfect result.
On numerous occasions we forget to make up the eyebrows, this being a very important part of total makeup. There is also the case of women who do not know how to make up their eyebrows.
If you are in this section keep reading the following article of doncomos.com where we teach you everything you need to know about how to make up your eyebrows.
Eyebrow hair removal
For the result of the makeup to be perfect it is important that we start with an eyebrow hair removal. Although many women may consider it unnecessary or do not want to suffer pain, the truth is that a hair removal of eyebrows, however minimal it is, clears the look and makes the face much more striking and beautiful.
For the first time it is always better to go to an aesthetician professional to shave them. However, you can also make them yourself at home. When it comes to plucking there are many shapes and thicknesses to give to your eyebrows. In principle I recommend that you follow the main shape of your eyebrows and remove the excesses you have above or below. If you shave your eyebrows leaving them too thin you run the risk that you do not get hairs again, and if later you want a little thicker eyebrows because they can fit better to your face it will be more difficult to get it. That is why leave your eyebrows following their natural thickness and only outline the shape a little to give it the shape. Of course you should not forget the eyebrows, since it is the most important part and the one that should not forget to shave to get the best finish.
It is more if you do not dare to make your eyebrows completely start by shaving your eyebrows, as soon as you see the good results you will be encouraged to shave your eyebrows completely the next time.
On the other hand, help yourself with an eyebrow comb and from the middle to the outer end of the eyebrow comb the hairs down and trim the excessive length with mini scissors. The right length is a few millimeters below the thickness of your eyebrows. Do the same with the hairs of the other half towards the eyebrows, but in this case we will comb the hairs up.
Proportionality of the eyebrows
In addition to removing the excesses of beauty we must give the correct shape and proportion to our eyebrows. For this we are going to help ourselves with a brush or a pencil, so that we can place it to follow the line. The inner end of the eyebrow (the one that attaches to the eyebrow) should be in line with the tear and the fin of the nose.
Where do we make the arch of the eyebrow? Well, to know where to give the shape of an arch to the eyebrow we will help ourselves again from the pencil. The arch should be in line with the iris of the eye and the fin of the nose.
Finally the eyebrow should end following the line starting with the fin of the nose and passing through the outer end of the eye. However, if you look at the outer end of the eye alone you could also finish the shape well, but think that if you look at the full line the finish will be perfect.
Design your eyebrows taking into account the shape of your face
When it comes to plucking and profiling our eyebrows we can also define them taking into account which shape will fit us best according to our type of face. We can also perfect this design later thanks to makeup.
If you have an elongated face then it is better to leave your eyebrows almost straight and long, you should always follow the natural arch of your eyebrows.
If you have a round face then you must accentuate the angle of your eyebrows much more to contrast the characteristics of the round face.
If you have a square face you should also accentuate the angle of your eyebrows, in this way your face will seem more elongated.
Products for making up eyebrows
Creamy shadows. We can find in the market various duos of shadows for eyebrows. We must choose the tones that most resemble our hair color in the eyebrows so that the result is as natural as possible. This type of product fixes the hair of the eyelashes very well and designs the shape of the eyebrow very well.
Eyebrow mask. The eyebrow mask is a product that is applied using a bouillon, and thanks to it we can master the hairs of the eyebrows getting them to stay fixed. We can also choose them in color so that we fix and give color to the eyebrows at the same time or we can choose to give color using another method and then apply a transparent mascara.
Eyebrow pencils. Pencils are ideal for coloring eyebrows and profiling them, as well as designing them and leaving them combed.
What color to choose to make up the eyebrows
You must choose the right color to make up your eyebrows, since if not, the result will not be entirely pleasant, for this you must choose a shadow or pencil whose color tone is two shades higher than the color of your hair if your hair is dark. On the other hand, if you are blonde or have very light colored hair then choose a makeup tone that is twice as small as the color of your hair.
How to define and make up your eyebrows
As we have already mentioned before, shaving the eyebrows is the first step to show off perfect eyebrows, and surely now, with the information we have given you, you already know how to do it perfectly. Just remember not to leave your eyebrows too thin, and let them look very natural that fits perfectly with your eyes and your face.
Next it is important to comb your eyebrows before putting on makeup. Normally eyebrow pencils include a part with an eyebrow brush, if you do not have it you can get one in any perfumery or makeup store, and they are quite economical. With the help of this eyebrow brush start by combing them from the bottom up and to the side on which they are naturally directed. Normally the eyebrow on the right combs up and to the right and the left eyebrow up and to the left. If they are very messy and it is difficult for you to comb their hair the first time, you can pass the brush over it with movement from right to left a couple of times, yes, all the messy hairs will remain, but now you can comb them without problem because they have been released.
Let’s start with eyebrow makeup itself. As we have mentioned you can choose the format that you like the most to paint your eyebrows, either shadow or pencil, but remember that you should always put very little product. Excesses are always bad, and if you think you need more quantity you can always add a little more color.
With your pencil or your shadow we will make small strokes in the most unpopulated areas of your eyebrows to color and fill them. Try to make these strokes as close as possible to the hairs of your eyebrow, in this way you will get them to look a little more natural. Then, with the brush you are using (shaking the excess product a little with your hands) or with an eyebrow brush if you have colored with a pencil (there are also some pencils that already incorporate a blurrer, which already saves you time and money) we will blur the color. We will always start from the widest and innermost part of the eyebrow upwards and towards the outer end, in this way, the largest amount of product will remain at the beginning of the eyebrow and the smallest amount of product will go to the finest area of the eyebrow, since here we will hardly need product.
Now that we are applying the color, this will help us to perfect the shape and profile of our eyebrows, therefore, if you have very thin or subtle eyebrows you can make up a little more above the hairs making the shape of a wider eyebrow. If you make small strokes and then subtly blur they will not look as unreal as you may think.
If you have unruly eyebrows or that does not have a defined shape then help yourself with the pencil or brush to outline a shape that favors you, and fill in the rest of the bald spots or eyebrow in general.
As we have mentioned, if you have unpopulated eyebrows it will be very important that you fill these bald spots with small strokes that simulate the hairs, and then blur, so we will get the appearance of a well-filled and defined eyebrow naturally.
Remember that if while blurring you think you need more color then you can apply some stripes on your eyebrow again and blur it well afterwards.
Finally we will point out that most eyebrows are rebellious, so it is necessary to fix them so that the hairs stay in place. We will achieve this by applying a transparent eyebrow mask. Start by applying the product with the goupillon from the widest part and close to the eyebrow towards the end and finer end of the eyebrows.
If you have decided that you want to make up your eyebrows using an eyebrow mask with color, then you will not need to do the previous step unless you have large bald spots on your eyebrows or they are very unpopulated. Apply the eyebrow mask always following the natural position of your eyebrows starting with the most anchored area. Move the goupillon from the bottom up and towards the natural orientation of the hairs.
And that’s it with this and you can wear a perfect eyebrow! And you don’t need to spend as much money or too much time on them. Also as a final trick I have to tell you that if you are starting in the world of makeup, you can manage with an eye shadow that you already have the tone you need. You can apply a little shade with a brush on your eyebrow and blur. This is not to everyone’s liking, because these shadows are a little dustier and do not leave the same result, but you can always start with them and improve your technique.
With this now and know how to make up your eyebrows, this process will take you only a few minutes when you learn to catch the trick, but you will be able to give character and expression to your look. Remember that shaved, combed and well-groomed eyebrows can make a big difference. Thanks to having well-groomed and defined eyebrows you can change your look and emphasize it, and even give it greater personality.
