Eyebrows are not guinea pigs; you shouldn’t mock them. The best thing you can do for them is to leave them alone and let them grow the way they want. This season, girls choose free-shaped eyebrows, without a clear contour, thick and even slightly asymmetrical. Such eyebrows can be an excellent accent in your image, emphasizing the shape of your eyes, hair color and will take your attention away from some minor imperfections. What do you need to do to get eyebrows like Taylor Hill and Jijen Hadid?
Eyebrow oils and serums
The tweezers were put aside. Now choose an eyebrow growth activator. Contrary to popular belief that only castor and burdock oils stimulate eyebrow growth, beauty gurus have long forgotten about them and use amla oil for this. It is suitable for thick eyebrows. And also grape or apricot seed oils, which strengthen and awaken the follicles to regenerate. It is also worth taking a closer look at serums for eyebrow growth - their formulas, as a rule, contain patented vitamin complexes and other active ingredients.
Eyebrow correction at home
Making beautiful arches at home always takes place in several stages. It’s rare that you can miss one of the steps, since every 2-3 weeks we repeat the procedure from start to finish.
Pay attention to the complete list of necessary materials: tweezers, combing brush, cotton pads and swabs, makeup remover, small scissors, greasy cream, concealer (any pigment for marking the shape), hard flat brush, alcohol (any degreasing liquid).
Preparation
- The first step is to choose a form. Choosing the right curve for different face types was discussed earlier. It is also worth mentioning special stencils that can make your decision easier. Try applying each of the stencils one by one and choose the one on which the bend seems most suitable to you.
- The next step is color selection. Considering your own hair color and roots, choose the tone of your eyebrow hairs.
- Comb your hair with a brush. It looks like a mascara brush.
- When all the hairs are smoothed, you can see everything that sticks out and goes too far beyond the contour. Therefore, now use small scissors to trim the protruding hairs, retreating from the edge of the arc at least 2 mm.
Important! You need to comb your eyebrows upward and trim only those hairs that stick out and do not fall. It is not recommended to cut the bottom, as bald spots may appear.
Shaping
This stage is extremely important, since the final result depends on the skill of plucking eyebrows.
- Degrease the entire area where you are going to pluck. Use alcohol-containing solutions for this.
- Using a flat brush and concealer, create a marking for the future eyebrow.
- Determine the center of the bridge of the nose and place lines near the inner corners of the eyes.
- Between the indicated marks, visually identify the centers - this is the beginning of the eyebrow.
- The next point is placed at the end: apply any smooth stick (for example, a brush) to your face through the wing of the nose and the outer corner of the eye. At the intersection of the stick and the arch, a mark is placed where the “tail” ends.
- Take a close look at your natural shape and determine your highest point. It is important to say that many makeup artists advise dividing the eyebrow like this: 2/3 of the entire length is allocated to the ascending part and 1/3 to the descending part . This rule applies, but this solution is not always suitable for everyone due to individual characteristics. If you still choose more accurate calculations, then take a stick and walk it from the nostril to the arch through the pupil of the eye. The intersection point will be the vertex.
- The bottom line is determined by the bone, which is located above the crease of the eyelid and should not be under it. The base and end of the edges should be approximately at the same level.
- Having connected all the marked points, begin to pluck out with tweezers the excess hairs that extend beyond the drawn outline. Stretch your skin to avoid injuring yourself.
Cosmetics
There are a huge number of products you can use to color your eyebrows. These can be lipsticks, tints, shadows, pencils, waxes, gels and more. What to use is up to you to decide based on your own preferences . Below you can read about what product is used for what and how to dye eyebrows correctly.
Shadows
This material adds volume and thickness. Therefore, if you naturally have such hairs, then there is no urgent need to use shadows. Otherwise, select the desired shade and use a hard, flat brush to paint the entire arc area.
First, of course, you need to create an outline according to the above recommendations, and then sketch inside. You can read more about how to paint eyebrows with shadows if you find this method the most optimal for yourself.
Pencil
It must be well sharpened, sharp and hard. Use small strokes to fill in the eyebrow according to the hair growth, paying maximum attention to bald spots. It is better to start from a bend or a place where there is a risk of underworking. Don't overdo it, because we want the most natural look possible.
Important! You don't need to draw a straight line along the top outline because when the hairs fall down at the end of the day, you will have a pencil clearly visible.
Wax
With the help of wax, you can lay your eyebrows in the right direction, fix the hairs and color after dyeing, add volume and nourish them with useful substances. There are colorless products and with shades. Choose the one that is needed specifically in your case. It is used quite simply: comb your hair, apply the product according to hair growth, remove excess, and after hardening, comb again.
Gel
This product is necessary to fix the hairs. It can be transparent and tinted (black, brown, smoky...). To keep your eyebrows looking beautiful and well-groomed throughout the day, apply a small amount of gel to the entire surface using a special brush.
Note! If the product has a tint, you can remove the excess with a brush at the end of the procedure. The gels have a light texture, they create volume and highlight the shape well.
Refresh them with peeling
It sounds a little strange, but eyebrows should be cleaned. By exfoliating your eyebrows at home, you will remove dry dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, open the pores and allow them to breathe. And subsequent products, for example, to activate eyebrow hair growth, will penetrate deeper into the cells and will act much more efficiently and quickly. Thoroughly clean your eyebrows every day using your usual cleanser, and exfoliate twice a week. Avoid face creams and serums in this area.
Fashion trends this season
As in the previous season, naturalness is in fashion this year. But don't forget about plucking. Your eyebrows should look perfect and well-groomed. Of course, you shouldn’t pluck the hairs down to a thin thread; give the hairs natural fluffiness and slight negligence.
This design looks very unusual, but it does not mean that you will have sloppy and careless eyebrows on your face. Remember, achieving naturalness is very difficult. The specialist requires a special approach and the latest correction techniques.
The main idea of this season is to try to erase all boundaries and soften the outline. Clear lines, boundaries and break lines are long gone. This season it is important to achieve a natural curve. The choice of color also goes in favor of natural shades.

Try henna dyeing or lamination
In the fight for dream eyebrows - all means are good! Why not try trendy salon treatments that will help you achieve your goals faster? For example, eyebrow lamination means fixing the shape and strengthening it for 1-2 months using special beauty products with keratin and other nutrients. Ideal for thin and sparse eyebrows growing in a chaotic direction. Another harmless and affordable procedure is henna staining or biotattooing. This care program enhances the natural shade of the eyebrows and strengthens them.
Secrets of beautiful eyebrows
With the correct eyebrow shape, you can hide many appearance flaws, for example, make your face narrower, longer, or vice versa, shorter. Plucking alone is not enough, although this issue should be approached with special responsibility. Eyebrows that are too thick and low reduce the size of the eyes and look completely unfeminine; eyebrows that are too high give the face a constantly surprised expression. If this is your first time deciding to tint your eyebrows and eyelashes, do it with the help of an experienced cosmetologist. A good specialist knows many secrets, thanks to which your eyebrows will acquire the correct shape and be free from imperfections.
After this master class, you can work on your eyebrows yourself. Buy eyelash and eyebrow dye at the store, but be careful - rich black dye makes your face look too masculine. Try making a 1:1 mixture of black and brown paint. Apply the dye to your eyebrows for about 5 minutes, no longer, otherwise the skin under your eyebrows will also become colored.
When correcting the shape of your eyebrows with tweezers, use a couple of simple tips. Before starting this procedure, place a few pieces of ice on your eyebrows or apply a lotion of cold water. Then use a black eyebrow pencil to define the future contour and only then proceed to remove excess hair.
If you find it difficult to determine exactly where your eyebrows should begin, mentally draw two lines from the contour of your nose to the bridge of your nose, and your problem is solved! Remove any hair that is caught inside these lines.
Don't overdo it with plucking. Too thin eyebrow line makes the look somewhat surprised and stupid. But if everything is already done, use pencils. Small dots along the contour of the eyebrows will return the face to its normal expression. In addition, there are special powders that are ideal for eyebrows that are too sparse. They make eyebrows fluffier and thicker.
Start tinting your eyebrows from the very top. Here they should be thickest, which is achieved with just a few strokes. If your face is oval or round, make your eyebrows angular, and vice versa. Special eyebrow powders are designed to make eyebrows fuller and fluffier. The powder is ideal for sparse eyebrows; it is applied in between with a special brush.
Don't forget that eyebrows that are too dark make your face look aggressive. Experts advise using pencils that are no darker than your natural hair color.
Henna or paint?
Today, the choice of eyebrow tinting products is truly huge, but the choice between dye and henna still occupies the minds of girls. Let's try to figure it out.
Dye
Don't think that eyebrow dye only comes in black. Manufacturers offer a huge color palette. Among the advantages of this tool are:
- Hypoallergenic formula;
- Moisturizing components in the composition;
- Suitable for sensitive skin.
The downside is that the paint washes off quite quickly.
All about eyebrow tattooing. Regular eyebrow tattoo
This is a specific mini-operation, similar to getting a permanent tattoo. This procedure is carried out not in a tattoo parlor, but in specialized beauty salons by a professional master using a disposable needle, dyes and a machine to penetrate the skin.
Eyebrow tattooing helps to draw bright eyebrows, clear arching lines, and the facial expression becomes more graceful and attractive. Eyebrows look thickest and most voluminous. The popularity of eyebrow tattooing is gaining crowds of fans, so there are positive reviews. For example, many people say that:
- this is the best way to emphasize eyebrows, facial expressions, and make your emotional state clear;
- This is another wonderful procedure that allows you not to bother tinting your eyebrows with a pencil every time;
- This is the best way to make the eyebrow lines perfect for those girls whose shape is not quite right by nature.
Such reviews of eyebrow tattooing are worthy of being paid attention to by girls who want to undergo this procedure for the first time. Negative reviews include only the moment that includes the choice of a specialist, i.e. You don’t need to go to a tattoo parlor to see a tattoo artist, but to a real makeup artist or professional eyebrow artist who can advise whether regular eyebrow tattooing is needed or not. And also, regular eyebrow tattooing is a rather painful procedure.
Determining the length of the eyebrow
The eyebrow should start above the inner corner of the eye and end above its outer edge. It should optimally emphasize the appearance, if you take into account the oval shape:
- For a round face type, it is better to create broken lines with a high rise and a short ponytail. The break should not be too sharp, so as not to further round the face. But rounded eyebrows are contraindicated in this case.
- Those with a triangle-shaped face should lift the brow line, creating a soft curve. There is no need to make the eyebrow too wide and straight.
- For a square face type, an arched shape with a natural width is suitable.
