How to paint black eyebrows correctly: subtleties of makeup

How to choose color and shape

What methods can you use to bring your own brow ridges to ideal condition? Before painting, you should create the correct shape and choose the appropriate shade. As for color, there is a general rule: choose dark tones for light hair, and light ones for dark hair.

To create the optimal shape, you need to use these tips:

• Use a cosmetic pencil to draw lines: from the wing of the nose to the inner corner of the eye, this will be the starting point;
• draw a vertical stripe from the iris to the temple, there will be a break here;
• from the wing of the nose to the outer corner of the eye to find the tip of the arch.

In addition to the general rules, specific ones should be taken into account. For a round face, straight lines with a high rise and a short end are suitable. Oval can be decorated with seagull wings, triangular - not too broken lines, rounded in shape. A square face requires thick arches, with a high bend.

How to make a tattoo on light eyebrows. Pro Tips

Tattoo for light eyebrows

Blondes and women with pale skin need to approach the procedure with full responsibility. An incorrectly selected shade, arch shape or technique can ruin the appearance. For example, a shape that is too wide or a dark color will catch the eye, looking vulgar. To get the desired result, professionals recommend:

1. Contact an experienced specialist.

2. Choose the appropriate technique: shadow shading, microblading, powder method, hair method.

3. Choose color, curve and shape.

If the color turns out to be too saturated, the specialist resorts to a lightening technique by reapplying a light pigment, using products or a laser to remove the tattoo.

Paint selection

A woman can dye her black eyebrows any shade she likes. For this purpose, you can choose any coloring composition, preferring high-quality, proven companies.

The most common products:

1. Kapous: gives a dense shade, resistant to moisture, water, creams. It is easy to apply.
2. Bonacrom by Schwarzkopf: professional composition with high cost, very comfortable to use. It has brown and black tones.
3. Only Looks by Estel: inexpensive, economical in use. The palette includes brown, black, graphite and blue-black colors.
4. Enigma from the same manufacturer: a little more expensive, has a light palette, and also has shimmering pigmentation.
5. Rocolor: costs less than 100 rubles, the hypoallergenic composition allows you to dye your hair black and brown.

How to make gray eyebrows at home

To the question of how to make gray eyebrows, the answer is simple - makeup. It will help to give expressiveness in the following ways:

• using a pencil;
• using shadows;
• eyebrow gel.

Mascara can also be used for makeup, but only if the hairs are thin and the eyebrow line is quite narrow. Otherwise, the appearance will become vulgar instead of expressive. In such a situation, it is better to get a tattoo: the gray color fits well and looks harmonious.

Girls are often interested in permanent hair made with natural dye. However, it is worth understanding that gray eyebrows decorated with henna will have a warm shade closer to taupe. An example can be seen in the photo above. Therefore, for a blonde with a light skin tone, it is better to choose regular coloring and make powdery gray eyebrows. Otherwise, the result will look unnatural.

Most often, tattooing is performed along the contour of the eyebrows, giving them shape, but not completely coloring them. It is perfect for girls with sparse and thin hair. But those with thick eyebrows should not do it.

The next most frequently used method is coloring. It is performed both with special paint and with henna, which can be mixed with basma. Who is suitable for gray eyebrows made in this way? For girls whose hair grows in a wide line and the color is quite light. It’s easy to care for them: comb them with a brush or treat them with gel. For those with natural gray eyebrows, simply use a gray pencil.

Allergy test

Having decided on the tone of the strands, you need to conduct a mandatory test to determine the likelihood of developing an allergic reaction.

Scheme:

• dilute (if necessary) a certain amount of powder;
• apply to the skin (behind the ear, in the bend of the elbow);
• rinse off after 10 minutes;
• monitor the occurrence of negative reactions for a day, and if they occur, stop using this product. If there are no side effects, you can color the brow ridges.

Color selection

On a note. Many women mistakenly believe that the color of their hair should be the same as their eyebrows.

However, this is a common misconception. The shades should be combined with each other, but painting them the same is bad manners. The hair should be 1-2 shades darker. The exception is red-haired girls. Dark beige, natural light brown and brown shades suit them.

Professional makeup artists recommend choosing a paint palette based on your natural hair color. In this case, the shades should be harmoniously combined with each other and complement each other. Experienced cosmetologists recommend the following rules when choosing a pigment:

1. If the girl is blonde. Such girls should give preference to pale brown, dark beige pigment. Black, dark chestnut, and gray colors should be avoided, especially if the eyes have blue or green tint.

Blondes with ash-colored hair can dye their eyebrows gray.

On a note. For golden-red blondes, “warm” colors are suitable: beige, pale blond.

1. Brown-haired women with light eyes (blue, green) can opt for a beige, ash-brown background. Dark-haired girls with brown eyes can use brown and chestnut colors for dyeing. For a brown-haired woman with white skin and a cool shade of curls, a dark gray palette is suitable; for a warm shade, dark brown pigments are suitable.
2. If a girl has light brown, light eyebrows, then they should be painted in warm chocolate, golden chestnut, and brown tones. For a girl with dark brown hair, ash-brown, soft chestnut pigment will suit her. It's also worth considering the undertone. For ash-blond curls, it is necessary to dye it in a light brown range, for reddish ones – in dark brown.
3. For brunettes with raven curls, only black pigment is suitable, since warm brown and pale colors will give off red hair and look ridiculous and unnatural.
4. Red-haired beasts should give preference to shades that match their hair, but at the same time have a slightly muted pigment. Terracotta and golden chestnut colors look great. If your hair is chestnut-red, the girl should opt for brown tones. Chestnut dark brown eyebrows look especially impressive if the lady has brown eyes. Red-haired girls should avoid red, gray and reddish colors.

Eyes

Eye color plays an important role

An important role when choosing a color is the color of the eyes, regardless of whether they are blonde or brunette. For example:

• A brown color scheme is suitable for a young lady with green eyes, but the use of gray and black is not recommended.
• Blue-eyed fashionistas will suit all shades of gray and soft brown. Dark brown and gray palettes are strictly prohibited.
• For young ladies with gray eyes, a soft brown color is suitable. Dark gray color or wet asphalt can completely ruin the appearance.

Despite the common rule that eyebrows should be darker or lighter than hair, eye color plays an important role. Therefore, when choosing a color, you should take into account the color of your hair, eyes and general skin color.

If a girl decides to choose a paint color on her own, it is important to consider this issue very carefully.

When painting, you can mix 2 or 3 pigments to obtain the most natural and desired result.

Important! Mixing several shades of paint is possible only with proper experience and full confidence in the positive result obtained.

When choosing paint on your own, young ladies should remember 2 basic rules:

1. For fair-haired people, including blondes, a palette 1-2 shades darker than the curls is suitable.
2. Brown-haired women and brunettes need to choose a pigment that is 1-2 shades paler.
3. If a girl has porcelain white skin and brown eyes, then her eyebrows should be a little softer, i.e. light chestnut.
4. The lighter your skin and eyes, the lighter your eyebrows should be. And vice versa. That is, if a girl has blond hair, then her eyebrows should be light brown.
5. If a girl’s hair is not dyed, but has a natural shade, then the dye should match the color of her hair as closely as possible.

Recommendations

Dyeing your eyebrows in a lighter tone requires following important recommendations:

• treat the surface around the arc with rich cream;
• adjust the shape after the procedure or the day before it;
• to increase the durability of the dye, peel the face 1-2 days in advance to remove dead skin particles;
• repeat manipulations no more often than once a month;
• choose a high-quality composition so as not to have a negative effect on the hairs and skin surface;
• If you are going to carry out such a procedure for the first time, it is preferable to trust a professional whose work you will need to observe.

What paint can be used to create graphite gray eyebrows?

Currently, there is a wide variety of means on the market that can be used to tint eyebrows, including finding what color to cover gray eyebrows. And all thanks to the abundance of pigments used to make them. The products differ in their composition.

To achieve graphite-colored eyebrows, you need to carefully choose the product. Please note:

1. Paint safety - it would be useful to consult a professional; the packaging must have signs confirming certification. When using graphite pigment at home, you need to familiarize yourself with the safety precautions. Experts recommend choosing products with a hypoallergenic effect.
2. Instructions - be sure to conduct a trial test for the specified amount of time before staining.
3. Expiration date – after expiration, the product should not be used.
4. Packaging contents - the kit should include graphite dye, oxidizing agent, mixing container, brush with which to apply the composition, instructions.
5. Care – after coloring, eyebrows require treatment with restorative agents. The negative impact of aggressive substances is eliminated by them. Eyebrows will be shiny and soft.
6. Persistence – you need to carefully consider the oxidizing agent in the packaging. Its concentration indicates the future durability of the coloring graphite pigment. The oxidizing agent has a concentration of 3 to 6%. The higher it is, the longer the result will be.

There are a huge number of products from different manufacturers on the market. Let's look at the best of them:

1. Estel – offers a wide line of professional cosmetics. The set of this company's coloring agent includes two components: a coloring base and a developing emulsion. The packaging is designed for use from five to six months.
   The manufacturer recommends dyeing twice to ensure a brighter shade. The pigment is easily washed off with soap if it gets on the skin.

   

2. RefectoCil – a series of cosmetics from an Austrian manufacturer. Perfect for coloring gray hair, as well as those with a light brown tint. The color lasts up to six weeks. One package is designed for 30 uses.

   

3. Schwarzkopf – professional cosmetics made in Germany. The delivery set includes the dye itself, an activator, a mixing container, a spatula, and special patches that protect the eyes.

   

4. Godefroy – a trademark from the USA. The main specialization of the company is the production of cosmetics from natural ingredients. Coloring is done with henna, which is sealed in capsules. The procedure is quick, in just three minutes. The disadvantages of the product are its high cost and resistance to leaching - only 10 days.

   

Cosmetologists recommend coloring in salons, where they select colors using palettes (with their help you can choose how to cover gray eyebrows) and work using professional products. When performing a home procedure, you should give preference to natural-based products. Coloring should begin from the top of the eyebrow and work downwards.

Important! Pay attention to the pigment. Henna makes the eyebrows sharply defined, which can make the appearance unnatural.

Exposure to dye leads to weakened hair growth, so care should be taken to protect against hair loss. To do this, you need to use caring agents, such as various mixtures of oils: castor, linseed, sunflower, camphor. They will prevent loss and fading, and protect from exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

In summer, you should pay attention to the use of paste made from Vaseline, beeswax, and castor oil.

Dyeing will provide your hair with the desired shade for a long time. The universal graphite tone will give maximum naturalness to the eyebrows. It will make the villi shiny, increase volume and color. But after dyeing, the hairs will require care and protection. It is necessary to strictly follow the recommendations of specialists, then the shade will last a long time and the hairs will be in excellent condition.

Eyebrow lightening

You can dye black eyebrows in a lighter tone in different ways, among the most common:

1. Dye.
2. Hydrogen peroxide.
3. Lightening cream.
4. Traditional methods.

The paint is used in this way:

• conduct an allergy test;
• dilute the paint according to the attached instructions;
• Use a cosmetic pencil to outline the treatment area;
• Apply thick cream around the arc;
• apply the composition with a brush;
• check the uniformity of the coating;
• wait the allotted time;
• remove with damp cotton pads.

Dyed hairs should be protected from direct sunlight, as they may lose their color and stop being brown.

Hydrogen peroxide is used as follows:

• remove decorative cosmetics from the skin using a cleanser;
• wash your eyebrows with a small amount of hair shampoo;
• dry the vegetation with a towel;
• comb with a brush;
• lubricate the circumference of the arcs with a rich cream to protect the cover from the drying effects of peroxide;
• dissolve three percent peroxide: for brown-haired and fair-haired girls take 0.5 liters per tablespoon, for brunettes 1.5 tablespoons per the same amount of water is suitable;
• dip the brush and carefully process the arcs;
• wait 20 minutes;
• rinse off with damp cotton pads.

After such an effect, you can lighten light brown or light brown hairs by a couple of tones. If the result obtained is not enough, you can repeat the procedure after 4 days. Previously, it is impossible, otherwise it will cause severe drying of the skin, itching, and can cause burns.

Peroxide is different in that after its exposure, uneven spots may appear, especially when the original color is dark.

Another method of lightening is the use of a special whitening cream. It has the following advantages:

• achieving quality results;
• no yellowish effect (as when using hydrogen peroxide);
• gentle effect, the cream additionally softens the skin, moisturizes hairs, due to the content of chamomile and aloe vera extracts.

The product must be used strictly according to the instructions supplied with it, applying and leaving for as long as indicated.

Folk recipes are no less effective:

1. Brew 2 tablespoons of calendula in a glass of boiling water and leave for 20 minutes. Add a few drops of lemon juice. Keep for up to 15 minutes.
2. Rub your eyebrows with half a fresh lemon, go out into the sun, stay under its rays until the composition dries completely.

These methods will help to slightly reduce the intensity of the tone of the brow ridges. Traditional methods need to be used on a regular basis, this will help achieve results. Moreover, such an effect will be gentle on the hairs and will not be too strong an irritant for the skin.

Eyebrow tattoo for redheads – color

Choosing the right shade is a whole problem. What color should redheads' eyebrows be so they don't look vulgar? In order for the color of the eyebrows to be beautiful and harmonious, every brunette must first determine the shade of her skin, hair, and eyes.

Red hair color is a world of shades that must be taken into account when choosing eyebrow tattoo colors for redheads. Red-haired people belong to the warm spring color type; they have fair skin, often with freckles. Red hair tends to have some degree of curl. And the eyes of red-haired girls are light green, gray-green, blue and even light brown. Red hair has different shades, take this into account when choosing a color for your eyebrows. Nature gives those with red hair whatever eyebrows they want. The right shade rarely comes across. But compatibility is necessary.

Tattooing - lightening rules

With tattooing, things are much more complicated. If the paint fades under the sun within a few months and must be washed off when washing, then the tattoo may take up to 5 years to do this. But you have to fight not with dyed hairs, but with pigment that was artificially introduced under the skin.

Laser removal gives the most predictable result. Of course, we do not undertake to dispute the fact that achieving the goal may require from 3 to 7 sessions; the procedure is traumatic, has a long rehabilitation period and is quite expensive.

But remember! The use of deep peels is fraught with the formation of scars and even complete hair loss. It’s not for nothing that such cosmetic products are prohibited from being applied to the area around the eyes.

Tattooing is the most complex case, which is difficult to correct.

Another myth is the possibility of injecting peroxide, milk or light pigment under the skin. Such manipulations are unsafe for your health and will never give the expected result.

how to turn black eyebrows brown

Why is eye tattooing so popular?

Every woman, even the most beautiful, always wants to correct her appearance with the help of cosmetics. Every day, girls all over the world use tons of lipstick, eyeliner and hundreds of eyebrow pencils. Every morning a woman spends precious time applying makeup.

Tattooing is a way to save money on all of the above. After applying the pigment, you can forget about cosmetics and the time spent on applying and removing them.

Eye tattooing is ideal for anyone who leads an active lifestyle. During sports, especially swimming, makeup may rub off or be washed off. You cannot come to the pool with makeup on your face. Eye tattooing will prove indispensable in extreme weather conditions: it will not run in the heat and will not blur from a summer downpour.

There are a number of reasons why tattooing is the only way to always remain beautiful:

allergies to cosmetics;

congenital defects;

various scars;

inability to do makeup;

wearing contact lenses.

Allergy to cosmetics. Even the most expensive brand of eye shadow and eyeliner can cause eye irritation. Doctors do not recommend the use of any decorative cosmetics for people who are allergic to household dust and pollen.

Congenital defects. Eye tattooing will help eliminate their asymmetry and make the incision more round or almond-shaped.

Scars. After injury or inflammation, scars and cicatrices may appear on the eyelid and even on the surface of the eye itself. Tattooing will help to advantageously disguise and divert attention from the defect.

Inability to do eye makeup. Some women have never been able to learn how to accurately draw an arrow throughout their entire lives. It’s better to exchange your wasted efforts for a trip to the tattoo parlor. Permanent makeup is done in a short time, and the results can last for years.

Wearing contact lenses. People with visual impairments often complain about how difficult it is to combine applying and wearing makeup with contact lenses. Getting eye shadow, mascara or makeup remover on the lens can not only ruin it, but also lead to eye infection.

First you need to decide on the type of tattoo and its shape. In order not to do it wrong, you need to grab your homemade cosmetics and show the form to the master.

In order not to make a mistake with color and shading, the master first applies sketches of arrows or shadows to the eyelid with a special marker. If it suits the client, then the master continues to work.

Depending on the amount of work, eye tattooing can take from 2 to 5 hours. This is very painstaking work. The master must not only introduce the pigment as accurately and evenly as possible, but also prevent injury to the eye.

Types of eye tattoo

To give sparse and light eyelashes a thicker effect, you can get an interlash tattoo. You can forget about mascara for volume, but it won’t lengthen your eyelashes. If they are also short, you can use eyelash extensions in combination with tattooing.

For a master this is an easy and quick job. Despite the almost jewelry-like work, it does not require preliminary selection of color and drawing of a sketch. The master simply applies dark pigment into the space between the eyelashes. This type of tattoo is ideal for beginners and those who only want to slightly correct their eyes. After inter-lash tattooing there is no effect of a painted face, the natural beauty of a woman is preserved to the maximum.

One of the most popular eye tattoos is the application of a line in the form of an arrow. Here, not only the space between the eyelashes is painted over, but also a strip is applied that imitates the mark of a liner or liquid eyeliner.

If desired, the master can create a line of any size and thickness. It can end at the eyelash line or extend onto the moving eyelid, with a tail bent upward. Classic makeup involves a black line, but it can be any color at the request of the client: from dark brown to bright green.

An arrow on the lower eyelid is not recommended for everyone. Depending on the shape of the eye, she may make the incision narrower. Tattooing using lower eyeliner can make circles under the eyes more visible.

To enlarge the eye and give it softness, the already drawn line needs to be shaded. It will no longer imitate a clear liner line, but a soft pencil line. This type of tattoo is suitable for older women, as it will help hide small wrinkles on the eyelids.

If desired, you can also get a tattoo in the form of evening makeup. Permanent makeup of this type is not suitable for everyone. It should be remembered that it is better not to take risks with the use of bright pigments, because it will not be possible to correct or change such makeup soon.

Return to contents

The eyes may be inflamed and swollen for several days. Cold compresses can be used to reduce swelling. These can be pieces of ice wrapped in waterproof material or small plastic items left in the refrigerator for a few minutes. It is not recommended to use metal objects, as cold metal can cause even more damage to the delicate skin of the eyelids.

To prevent the penetration of bacteria and microbes onto the damaged surface, it is necessary to treat the skin of the eyelids with antiseptic agents for several days after the procedure. Hydrocortisone eye ointment is ideal for this. Also, do not wash your eyes with water or use any cosmetics for several days.
