The latest fashion trends have taken a confident course towards naturalness. This affected not only the color scheme of makeup, but also the width and shape of the eyebrows. We asked a beauty guru about who suits thin eyebrows and whether it’s worth getting them corrected.
Thin or wide eyebrows - this dilemma has haunted the fair half of humanity for several seasons now
Thick and thin
“Sable” eyebrows are exactly the name given to the new trend. Photographers and designers are vocal about their desire for "natural" models like Miranda Kerr and Cara Delevingne. The latter, by the way, has a Facebook page, which the model runs with her own hands on behalf of eyebrows.
No matter how popular the new trend is, it, unfortunately, does not suit everyone, and in some cases it even looks comical. Those whom Mother Nature has endowed with expressive eyes, well-defined cheekbones and full lips can opt for “sable” eyebrows.
Don’t wonder how to make wide eyebrows from thin eyebrows for those who have soft facial features.
Makeup artists call thin eyebrows a thing of the last century, emphasizing that the time has come to return to naturalness and naturalness. However, it is worth noting that this form, in rare cases, is still capable of creating a harmonious image. Great examples of this are Jessica Biel, Gwen Stefani and Charlize Theron.
Note! If in a debate between thin or thick eyebrows you chose the former, they should still be natural. There's nothing worse than two fine lines painstakingly drawn on your face or created by a permanent makeup artist.
Narrow eyebrows will suit you if you have soft facial features or consider yourself to be “40+”.
How to make thin eyebrows beautiful?
When designing thin eyebrows, their shape is primarily important. You can give the correct shape both in the salon and at home. The main thing is to maintain careful technique. Experts advise not to overdo it with hair removal from above, so as not to lose the natural appearance.
There are three ways to correct the shape of fine lines. The first, most common one is using a pencil. They need to draw an outline and apply shadows of the same shade to the center. This way you can visually enlarge thin and sparse eyebrows, make them wider, add volume and fullness.
The second method can be called natural. It is more complex, but still effective. Only the surface between the hair is painted. To enhance the color and fix them in the desired direction, a special gel is applied to them. It can be colored or transparent. The gel should be evenly distributed with a brush and the hairs should be styled as required.
Both methods can be mixed into one. This is the third correction option. This is not easy, but this way you can add brightness and naturalness. The beginning of the eyebrow at the bridge of the nose can be outlined weakly, or not touched at all. And the end needs to be highlighted clearly. In this case, color transitions should be smooth. This method will also help lengthen your eyebrows. Short eyebrows are more suitable for young girls. With age, it is better to lengthen the lines in order to remove the feeling of naivety in the image inherent in young people.
Often the width and density depend not only on natural data. Incorrect care and makeup techniques can lead to hair loss.
When epilating, it is important to follow the direction of movement along the hairline. If you pull hairs against their growth, the bulb will shift and the hair will grow incorrectly. They become rough and unruly, their structure becomes denser. Such eyebrows are more difficult to style and fix in the desired direction; they need to be adjusted more often. Therefore, you need to attach great importance to the plucking technique and carefully remove excess hairs, thinking through your actions.
The procedures must be carried out in strict sequence, otherwise damage will appear on the skin. First, with permanent makeup, chemical dyes are applied to the eyebrows. And only then is epilation performed with tweezers. If you do it the other way around, the paint will get into the microcracks that appear when hair is removed, and burns and pinpoint redness may form.
The form must be determined in advance. Movements should be thoughtful, not chaotic. To do this, it is better to draw an outline with a pencil of a darker color. If it is difficult to decide on the form on your own, then you can consult with a specialist - a professional master, and only then begin the procedure at home. Such experiments can have a negative impact on thin eyebrows, which can become shapeless threads, and their restoration will take a long time.
During the procedure, you need good lighting to maintain precision and accuracy. To do this, you can use special devices that do not create shadows in the work area, as well as a large, comfortable mirror, but without a magnifying effect. It’s good if there are several lamps, and then the light sources will be placed on different sides.
Simple tips for eyebrow growth
You can grow beautiful eyebrows using folk recipes or ready-made cosmetic products, because in essence, eyebrows are the same hairs and have a similar structure and growth phases.
No, no, replace the mustard and pepper tincture, which are beloved by those who are chasing a long braid. Eyebrows are a rather delicate area, so classic masks for hair growth, which are based on irritating effects, will have to be put aside.
Cosmetics for eyebrow growth
What to do with thin eyebrows? In the photo - reliable care assistants
So, it’s time to answer the question of what to do if your eyebrows are thin:
- Firstly, most products have a comprehensive approach and are designed to affect eyelashes and eyebrows . If you have a cosmetic product in your stash for eyelash growth, you can safely try its power in a different role.
- Secondly, despite the fact that manufacturers declare the safety of their products, a number of even natural components can cause an allergic reaction , and therefore require a preliminary test.
What causes eyebrows to become thick? The components of the products increase blood circulation, stimulate cell division of the hair papillae and irritate the hair follicle. From the above, it is easy to conclude that eyebrows will grow only where there are follicles, and this, in turn, is determined by genetics.
Note! Almost all remedies have a withdrawal effect, i.e. The results last as long as you carefully apply the product to your eyebrows. After 1.5-2 months, the hair growth rate returns to normal.
Having achieved the desired result, do not rush to stop using the cosmetic product. Cosmetologists unanimously argue that the abolition should be gradual.
If you applied the serum once a day, continue to do so 2-3 times a week, and later even once every 7-10 days, and be sure to pay attention to the recommendations contained in the instructions.

Traditional recipes for eyebrows
Fans of popular advice have not remained far from this topic either, who, in turn, suggest using safer ingredients, such as vegetable oils, aloe juice and vitamins. Massage also falls into the category of useful procedures that you can perform yourself.
A short instruction on how to massage your eyebrows
Massage rules:
- Start the massage with light pressure, repeat the movement for 3-4 minutes.
- This is followed by light tingling (2-3 minutes).
- Circular movements are performed from the bridge of the nose to the temples in the eyebrow area and above them (2-3 minutes).
So, in just 7-10 minutes of light, pleasant movements, you will increase blood circulation and promote better absorption of the products that will be used in the future.
Oil recipes:
- The most effective and easiest to use is castor oil. It is applied to the eyebrows with a cosmetic comb or an old but well-cleaned mascara brush. Movements should be performed both in line with hair growth and against it. To achieve greater efficiency, it is recommended to warm the oil to a comfortable temperature before use.
Advice! If you have at least a quarter of an hour of free time, make an oil compress. Soak cotton pads in warm oil and place them on your eyebrows, carefully covering them with parchment paper.
The most effective oil for eyelash and eyebrow care is castor oil.
- An aromatic mask based on milk and figs gives excellent results. Boil one small fruit in milk until a homogeneous paste is obtained (chop with a fork if necessary). Soak cotton pads in the mixture and apply to eyebrows for half an hour.
- If you prefer to use infusions in your beauty rituals, consider mint and chamomile. Herbs (1 tablespoon each) are poured into 250 ml of boiling water, infused for at least an hour and used for applications in the eyebrow area. The procedure time is 20 minutes.
A decoction of chamomile and mint not only promotes hair growth, but also restores their healthy shine
How not to make a mistake when choosing an eyebrow shape
Fashion for the shape of eyebrows is not changing as rapidly as for clothing, but obvious trends in radical changes in the thickness, outline and color of eyebrows are very noticeable. So, 5-8 years ago, eyebrows plucked into a thin line were still fashionable, while now, on the contrary, eyebrows that are quite wide, thick, with a natural and smooth line remain at the peak of popularity. True, in modern fashion shows, models increasingly appear on the catwalk with faded and barely noticeable eyebrows; time will tell what will come of this innovation. Those girls who want to surpass the eyebrow fashion have to choose from all sorts of shocking eyebrow shape options. But real ladies, who already know which eyebrow curve will one hundred percent decorate their face, prefer the classic option. Of course, experience comes with time, but if there is complete confusion when choosing a new look, it is better to contact a makeup artist, he will tell you exactly which eyebrow shape to give preference to in any season. A true specialist will always recommend an individual eyebrow shape, without resorting to clichés.
When choosing any eyebrow shape, you need to know that each face type is best suited to an eyebrow shape that brings the oval of the face closer to the ideal. And the oval face has always been considered the standard of a harmoniously beautiful face. So, based on this, makeup artists advise bringing “imperfect” facial contours closer to perfection, and the shape of the eyebrows can visually correct virtually any disharmony.
Round face
For women who have a round face, a shape with an arched brow, with a high rise and with the tip raised high up, is suitable. The main thing is to observe moderation in everything; an arched eyebrow, of course, visually elongates the face, but an excessively curved line can significantly distort facial features. An eyebrow that is too raised can also make the eyes appear larger, but those with protruding and large eyes should not get carried away with an overly curved eyebrow line.
Long face
For women with a long face shape, it is recommended to slightly round out their features. To achieve this, you need to select the shape of your eyebrows in the form of straight lines with a slight bend. But straight eyebrows do not mean “under a ruler”; again, it is important to stick to the golden mean. If the forehead is too high, that is, there is space to shape the eyebrow line correctly, the length of the eyebrow should not extend beyond the outer corner of the eye, and its tail should be directed just above the top of the auricle.
Square face
“Sponges in a bow, eyebrows like a house...” - this text is perfect for a guide to shaping the arch of the eyebrows for women with a square face shape. Ideally, these are eyebrows of natural width, with a noticeable base, a pronounced arch above the pupil and a pointed tip of the eyebrow.
Triangular face
A triangular face will be helped by visually rounded eyebrows with a curved shape and a slightly raised top. You cannot decorate the pointed features of a triangular face with straight eyebrows, and you also need to forget about the eyebrows with a house. A rounded eyebrow shape, with a smooth curve, is perfect; the eyebrow length should be medium.
Oval face
The classic oval face shape is the standard of female beauty, so you can experiment with the shape of your eyebrows as you please. On such a face, even a grimace of anger will not look scary. Therefore, you can safely give your eyebrows an arch shape, straighten your eyebrows, or make any bend. But eyebrows that resemble the wings of a bird look especially beautiful on an oval face.

Fashion for the shape of eyebrows is not changing as rapidly as for clothing, but obvious trends in radical changes in the thickness, outline and color of eyebrows are very noticeable.
Rules of "conspiracy"
It will take you 1-2 months to grow thick eyebrows, but if you want results “here and now” you will have to resort to cosmetic tricks.
As a means to correct eyebrows, you can use pencils, shadows of a suitable shade, mascara, lipstick or eyebrow tint.
- If you have fairly wide eyebrows, but lack volume, we recommend choosing a well-sharpened pencil of a suitable shade as an assistant. You will use it to draw the missing hairs.
Advice! If your hairs don’t hold their shape well and tend to stand out from the general mass, choose a wax-based pencil that will provide additional hold. You can use special wax or gel.
NYX Eyebrow Shadows
- Eyebrow shadows are a great product for beginners, giving a natural-looking result while adding volume and width. You can use special shadows for eyebrows or apply those that are applied when creating eyelid makeup, the main condition is the absence of glitter and shimmer. We recommend – Chanel Le sourcel de Chanel.
- Eyebrow mascara is quite convenient if you have to work with wide eyebrows that lack thickness and color. The advantage is that it successfully dyes and fixes hairs.
- Eyebrow pomade. Yes, yes, this happens too. Initially, the product was conceived as a professional product, but the ladies loved it so much that it became an ordinary resident of the cosmetic bag. For quick and comfortable application, it is recommended to purchase an angled brush made of synthetic bristles.
