Shadows as a means of eyebrow correction have a number of advantages over a pencil. They lay down softer, color the whole space "inside" the eyebrows and look more natural. If the hairs of the eyebrows are by nature short, the pencil will look at them flamboyantly and that the beauty of the "unnatural" will be understood even by a passer-schoolboy. In this case, eyebrow shadows are simply irreplaceable. However, you can not create a too thin line - the parts of the shadows will "get out" of the hairs. Therefore, the owner of very thin pencils is better to give preference to a pencil. And yet - to think about whether to grow them to the natural width, because this option is now in vogue.
Which eye shadow is better?
The choice is great - from economy class pallettes, like Ffleur to more professional models. Before you pick up the eyebrow shadow, you need to remember the tracking rules twice or twice.
- the color of the eyebrows should be one or two shades darker than the color of the hair;
- so that the make-up does not turn out carnival, the eyebrow shadow should be matte;
- it is desirable to use a rigid brush of a beveled shape, since it is not very promising to paint eyebrows with shadows using a conventional applicator.
Despite the rules, choosing eyebrow shadows is easy enough, by the way, like eye shadow, they are sold in sets that offer not only a dark tone, but also a beige - for eyeliner under the eyebrow. The main characteristics of eyebrow shadows are persistence and ease of application, which, unfortunately, is not known in advance.
Do I need a correction?
If you do not like the shape of your eyebrows, and no matter how you use a pair of tweezers and a brush, nothing happens - you should not despair. Before you paint your eyebrows with shadows, it will be right to turn to the salon, where a master who knows the subtlety of hair growth will make a competent correction. After the professional designates the shape of the pimples, you can take up the brush and create a new image already at home.
How to apply eye shadow?
Armed with a brush-comb and a brush with a bevelled tip, we proceed to the procedure itself. Apply eye shadow to the entire surface of the eyebrow, but if you have a close-set eyes, the inner edge of the eyebrows should be left more light.
Owners of widely set eyes will approach the reverse: the brow near the bridge of the nose should be painted more strongly.
So, let's start:
- brush your eyebrows with a brush;
- type a few shadows on the brush;
- evenly distribute the shadows along the line of eyebrow growth, carefully shading and "sketching" the space between the hairs;
- again comb the edges, remove the excess shadows, which "crawled out" out of the contour;
- under the eyebrow line, draw a line of light shadows, enhancing the contrast.
Naughty brows can then be fixed with gel or special wax.
Alternative solutions
Eyebrows for brows are not necessarily friable. For example, MAC produces cream-eye shadow for eyebrows in several shades that not only stain well, but also fixes the hairs. Also, the modeling wax helps to fix the unruly edges: it is transparent, and the design of the tube in most cases resembles a brachmatic. Many companies offer this tool complete with eyebrow shadows.
