How can you dye your eyebrows?

Beautiful and well-groomed eyebrows are always in fashion, however, not every woman can boast of naturally beautiful eyebrows. This is where the beauty industry has come to the rescue, offering eyebrow tinting and shaping in a variety of ways.

To get your eyebrows in order, you can go to any beauty salon or tint your eyebrows at home. The last method will be discussed in our article. So, how can you dye your eyelashes and eyebrows at home?

Cosmetic pencil

This is the most popular, affordable and easiest way to tint eyebrows at home. The pencil can be used for both daytime and evening makeup.

The disadvantage of the pencil is that it is not resistant to water. Therefore, tinting your eyebrows with a pencil should not be done before visiting the beach, bathhouse, or pool. The advantage is the absence of negative effects on skin and hair.

Eyebrow shadows and wax

Shadows and wax can be used to create a casual or evening look. This method of coloring is more durable than coloring with a pencil, but is also washed off with water. Shadows and wax are used simultaneously: first, shadows of the required color are applied, then fixed with wax.

Eyebrow tattoo

This coloring method is not suitable for girls who decide to paint their eyebrows at home themselves. The permanent makeup procedure is carried out by a specialist in a beauty salon after a preliminary consultation.

The procedure takes some time. The effect lasts for a year or more. The procedure involves the introduction of a special coloring pigment into the upper layers of the skin of the eyebrows.

Henna for eyebrows

You can dye your eyelashes and eyebrows at home using henna. The advantage of this method is its naturalness and safety. In addition, henna coloring is more durable than eye shadow, wax or pencil and lasts on the hairs for more than two weeks.

The disadvantage of this method is the complexity of the procedure. During coloring, henna may crumble and drip. Therefore, the painting process takes a lot of time and effort.

Every woman can paint her eyebrows on her own. This method of painting is simple - just follow the instructions for using the paint. After tinting your eyebrows, the color will last for 2-3 weeks. At the same time, the paint is not washed off with water and does not fade in the sun.

Let's look at the last two methods in more detail.

Choosing paint

To get the desired result, you need to choose the right shade that suits you. Typically, brow tinkers prefer a brow tint that is one or two shades darker than your hair shade. Therefore, you should not stop at black paint. A brown, dark brown, graphite or dark graphite shade will look more natural and attractive. Also, don't be afraid to experiment. If you are not satisfied with the color after the first painting, try mixing paint of several colors.

  • If you have blond hair, choose light brown or golden brown shade of paint. Blondes will also suit colors with shades of gray.
  • If you have red hair, eyebrow dye is perfect for you. terracotta shade.
  • If you are brown-haired, you are extremely lucky. All shades of brown will suit you: dark brown, golden brown, light brown and chocolate shades. Graphite shade will also suit you perfectly. In addition, you can mix black and brown paints. This will allow your eyebrows to look natural and attractive.
  • If you are a burning brunette, choose dark shades of paint: black or dark brown.

note

Today, manufacturers offer a wide variety of paints. Paints are available on the market in the form of gel, powder . If this is your first time dyeing your eyebrows at home, purchase the dye in gel form - this will make it easier to apply.

Before tinting your eyebrows, it is important to test for an allergic reaction. Eyebrow dye is a chemical that can cause unpredictable consequences: rash, itching, redness, swelling.

Conduct a test for an allergic reaction a day before the intended staining. To do this, apply a little paint to your wrist or elbow. If no adverse reactions appear within 24 hours, the dye can be safely used to tint eyebrows.

What you need to tint your eyebrows

Before you dye your eyebrows, you need to make sure that you have everything you need for the procedure. So, to color your eyebrows with paint or henna you will need:

  1. Dye or henna for tinting eyebrows.

Indeed, often cosmetics can lead to the fact that the coloring pigment does not work or “comes out in islands.” To cleanse your face, use micellar water or a special makeup remover.

  • Step 6. Using a brush, apply color to your eyebrows. For greater naturalness and a clear contour, makeup artists recommend applying paint first to the outer part of the eyebrows, then to the inner part.
  • Step 7. Keep the dye on your eyebrows depending on the desired result. If you want to get the most saturated shade, keep according to the time indicated on the package. For softer shades, keep the paint on for 5 minutes or more.
  • Step 8. Using a cotton pad, remove the dye from your eyebrows. Afterwards, wash your face with warm water and special cleansers.

Advantages and disadvantages

Like any procedure, eyebrow tinting at home has its advantages and disadvantages. So, if you paint your eyebrows at home yourself, you:

  • Save money— dyeing eyelashes and eyebrows in a salon is often unreasonably expensive: you pay not only for the dye, but also for the work of the artist, the atmosphere in the salon, and so on. At the same time, tinting your eyebrows will cost you more than 300 rubles. Instead, you can purchase your own paint for less money that will last for a year or more.
  • Save time– you forget to sign up for a coloring procedure, your master is busy at a time convenient for you, you simply forgot to come. If you dye your eyebrows at home, it won't take you much time. Plus, after applying the paint, within 20 minutes of its action, you can, for example, cook dinner or watch your favorite show.
  • Get lasting results– tinting eyebrows at home has the same lasting result as after salon tinting.

Tinting your eyebrows at home has one drawback - dissatisfaction with your own work after the first dyeing. This is due to the fact that you are not an expert and your first coloring may not turn out perfectly. However, don’t be upset; with a little practice, your eyebrows will turn out no worse than those of a master with extensive experience.

And in order for the effect of eyebrow tinting to satisfy you on the first try:

  • paint your eyebrows slowly;
  • Prepare all necessary equipment before the procedure;
  • Before painting, a day before, test for an allergic reaction;
  • choose high-quality paint that will suit you;
  • do not buy dye to match your hair;
  • Do not use hair dye to color your eyebrows.

Neat, elegantly designed and well-painted eyebrows highlight the eyes and make the look as expressive as possible.

You can apply five layers of mascara to your eyelashes, use highlighter, concealer and three types of shadows... But without paying attention to your eyebrows, you risk leaving the look unfinished. How to dye eyebrows correctly?

Where to start with eyebrow makeup?

Before you dye your eyebrows, you should give them the correct shape: get rid of excess hairs, comb them with a brush, shape them with gel or wax.

You shouldn’t blindly follow fashion, but we recommend being inspired by the examples of socialites! If many years ago the trend was thin eyebrows with strings in one line of a pencil, now thick, luxurious, natural, “full”, deliberately wide specimens have gained popularity.

Fashion ambassadors for natural lush vegetation are such famous ladies as Cara Delevingne, Emma Watson, Keira Knightley, Natalia Vodianova, Lily Collins and Kate Middleton.

Of course, if your own eyebrows do not have the required number of hairs and look sparse, “empty”, they will have to be properly painted to give thickness and volume.

There is a myth that all hair on the body is approximately the same color.

In nature, this is not always the case: many black-haired men suddenly grow a red beard, and so on.

Therefore, there is no need to blindly select an eyebrow dye that exactly matches the shade of your hair: look for the most beneficial option for yourself.

Fair-haired ladies can try pencils a couple of shades darker than their hair.

But for hot brown-haired women and brunettes, you can look among lighter shades than their hair: gray, graphite and dark brown colors look more natural on the face than radical black ones.

The basic rules for tinting eyebrows are simple:

The lighter the skin, the more careful you need to be with bright tones. Dark-skinned women, on the contrary, can experiment with contrasts.

Naturally light hair requires a delicate approach: do not overdo it with color and pencil pressure. But on a face framed by dark curls, rich and dark eyebrows look natural, as if it was intended.

There are also individual preferences: green-eyed red-haired girls love to dilute their fiery eyebrows with a chestnut or medium brown pencil with a golden undertone.

Unnatural blondes are happy to leave their own dark eyebrows without trying to lighten them (a classic example is Daenerys Targaryen, the character of the series “Game of Thrones”), and use light gray or brown shadows for tinting.

How to paint eyebrows with a pencil

You already understand: the road to an ideal, harmonious image begins with well-groomed eyebrows. How to achieve the desired result?

1. Sharpen the pencil well (before doing this, you can freeze it in the refrigerator to make the lead harder).

2. Comb your eyebrows with a brush, giving the hairs the desired direction.

3. Direct small strokes in the same direction, applying them with a sharp stylus, starting from the inside of the eyebrows.

4. Carefully fill in the voids, only lightly pressing the pencil against the skin, so that by the end of the makeup we do not have any white spots left on the card. But you can’t trace your eyebrows along the contour, otherwise the look will be ridiculous!

One of the trends of recent years is soft, natural shading and the absence of clear, contrasting boundaries.

Simply put, do not try to remember drawing and geometry lessons with a pencil: reduce the pressure. If a hard lead does not allow you to achieve naturalness, instead of a pencil, use a brush with special shadows or gel.

Too bright and clear eyebrows are good for the image of an evil witch for Halloween. However, natural variations on the theme are suitable for everyday wear.

How to properly paint eyebrows with shadows

The innovative product “eyebrow shadow” is not yet familiar to many.

They are applied with a thin brush with a sharp tip to hairs that have been pre-treated with cosmetic wax (so that the pigment adheres better).

Check the result in a mirror and make sure that the powder is applied evenly and not in spots. To give a natural look, blend the pigment with a brush. Shadows look especially good on wide and light eyebrows.

Try another similar product - a special eyebrow powder. It is easy to apply and instantly hides all voids.

How to tint eyebrows

Attention: do not use cosmetics intended for other parts of the face - lip pencils, eye shadow, hair dye... All of them are not suitable for eyebrows, the color is too intense and sloppy!

It is better to dye your eyebrows in a beauty salon: it is difficult to independently monitor the contour, uniformity of application and other nuances.

If you dare to carry out the procedure at home, be sure to apply a rich cream to your skin. Dilute the paint according to the instructions, apply according to hair growth. After waiting time, wash off first with a dry cloth, and only then with warm water.

The advantages of the paint are obvious: it looks natural, lasts longer, and washes off slowly on its own.. The downside is that there will be no more colored hairs (although the pigment is present on the skin for the first days, it quickly disappears).

The eyebrows will be brighter, but the thickness will not increase, which means correction with a pencil or shadows will be needed.

A popular alternative is eyebrow tinting with henna (bio-tattoo). It looks very natural, luxurious, thick, graphic and fresh. Lasts up to two weeks, is absolutely harmless, and the gaps remain covered throughout the entire time.

Well, for those who are too lazy to paint their eyebrows with a pencil or eye shadow every morning, tattooing (permanent makeup) or its modern analogue – microblading – will come to the rescue.

The latter option is a gentle procedure and provides the most natural appearance of the eyebrows.

Eyebrows are an important component of any makeup. The image of the girl as a whole depends on how well-groomed, harmonious and natural they look.

In addition, there are kajal pencils for the mucous membranes of the eyes, which are simply not suitable for eyebrows - also due to their extreme softness.

These include:

  • Oval is the most correct and proportional face shape. Straight eyebrows are best for her. This shape is also suitable for oblong faces. Moreover, such eyebrows are now in fashion.
  • Curved eyebrows will lengthen the face, so you shouldn't make big bends. A round face needs to be visually lengthened. Owners of this face shape need to bring their face closer to oval. Therefore, arched eyebrows, wide at the base and thin at the end, suit them.
  • For a square face, smooth arched eyebrows are suitable. It is important not to overdo it with the arc.
  • In addition to the oval, you should take into account the shape and size of the forehead and look at the location of the eyes. Eyebrows should be harmonious and attract approving, not judgmental glances from others.

It is best to experiment at home before choosing the ideal shape. You can buy stencils for this. By applying different shapes to your face and looking in the mirror, you can choose the most suitable shape.

How to choose a color?

Everyone used to use a simple formula that said blondes pick up pencil a little darker hair on the head, and brunettes - a little lighter. Nowadays, makeup artists give clearer instructions, since the color type of each girl also plays an important role. For example:

  1. For a cool blonde, a smoky gray, and in some cases even a black shade, is suitable;
  2. Natural blondes need to choose a color to match their hair roots;
  3. Those dyed warm blond should take a closer look at the beige-brown tones;
  4. Brunettes and brown-haired women should also look at the cold/warm type, and in terms of brightness, focus on their own hair - now the trend is eyebrows a shade darker;
  5. Those with black hair have no choice - only the same eyebrow color will look good, a brown undertone will not look natural;
  6. Red-haired young ladies should give preference to copper or terracotta color, but in general the rules apply depending on the brightness - light-red young ladies can take advice for blondes, and copper ones - for brunettes.

If the eyebrows are thin, then a pencil worth sharpening after each use.

If the eyebrows are wide, then a clear contour is not needed, and you can sharpen them less often.

It is better not to purchase automatic pencils - they are difficult to draw a thin line with.

As for the choice of hardness, you should give preference medium soft lead. A pencil that is too hard will make it difficult to draw natural lines, while a pencil that is too soft will leave a very rich mark and wear off quickly.

Step by step instructions

How to learn to paint eyebrows with a pencil correctly?

First you need to decide on the beginning of the eyebrow and the end of the ponytail. Often girls “draw” according to their natural contour, and it doesn’t turn out very beautiful.

By makeup artist standards the eyebrow should begin where you can lower the perpendicular to the dimple on the wing of the nose - this place will be closer to the bridge of the nose than the inner corner of the eye.

To determine the location, where the eyebrow should end, just apply the pencil so that it extends from the wing of the nose through the outer corner of the eye.

If a girl has good thick eyebrows, pluck them quite regularly according to this scheme, and then just fill out the form with a pencil.

But if I'm missing my hairs, then you will have to use these rules every day. Over time, this will become a habit, and you will be able to do without regular “measurements”, doing everything by eye.

Recently in fashion natural shape eyebrows, and many girls happily refused tweezers.

And yet, you shouldn’t mindlessly give in to fashion, but you should soberly evaluate your face and understand which image suits a particular young lady better: with wide eyebrows in the style of Cara Delevingne or with small, neat eyebrows that require regular correction.

So, how to draw eyebrows with a pencil step by step:

  • using a brush, comb the hairs upward;
  • draw a pencil along the lower line of the eyebrow and draw out the tip;
  • then the hairs are combed down;
  • draw the upper line of the eyebrow;
  • at the end, the pencil must be shaded with an eyebrow brush in an upward direction;
  • At the end, it is advisable to cover the eyebrows with a transparent gel to extend the durability of the makeup and secure the hairs.

You don't have to fill in the entire eyebrow with a pencil. More natural effect can be achieved by making small strokes that replicate the hairs.

This is useful in cases where the girl’s eyebrows themselves suit her, but there are small bald spots, which she wants to hide. The good thing about a pencil is that if you choose the right color, it looks as natural as possible, unlike colored gel or eye shadow.

Important advice from the editors

If you want to improve the condition of your skin, you should pay special attention to the creams you use. A frightening figure - 97% of creams from well-known brands contain substances that poison our body. The main components due to which all the troubles on the labels are designated as methylparaben, propylparaben, ethylparaben, E214-E219.

  1. Round face. The shape of the eyebrows for this type of face is most often with a curved line. If the transition of the rounding of the arc is smooth, then the face will visually become more voluminous. You need to draw a break in moderation, without sudden transitions, so that the end result does not turn out to be a sad image.
  2. Oval face. An oval and elongated face requires a straight eyebrow with a slight rounding at the end. Curved and rounded eyebrow shapes make such a face even more elongated and rough.
  3. Triangular face. This type of face would ideally suit a round brow arch. Correct and even eyebrows will make the face distorted and further expand the eye area, which is inappropriate for this type of face. To maintain correct proportions, round your eyebrows as much as possible.
  4. Square face. Rounded eyebrow shapes also suit a person with wide cheekbones. But their lines must be perfect. If maintaining such a shape seems like a very labor-intensive process, then you can make a straight bow with a slight rounding at the end.

The brow line is reduced with age, since a very elongated brow arch visually ages a woman.
