The last couple of years, eyebrows have become the center of attention of experts in the world of beauty. The value of the shape of eyebrows for the exterior is immense, because they set the facial expression, reflect emotions and feelings.
Eyebrows are a kind of frame - the lines that affect the perception of the other proportions of the face. Without a neat and properly selected eyebrow shape, any makeup looks incomplete.
What shape of eyebrows will suit your face?
and how to create it yourself, we will help to understand this article.
Beautiful eyebrows like the models with the covers of magazines - the work of professional masters. We recommend that you also contact a specialist in eyebrow correction with a thread in a specialized studio, brow-bar, beauty salon, etc. Trusting the eyebrows to a good master, you insure yourself against many mistakes that are not so easy to fix.
If you want to radically change the shape of the eyebrows, strive to improve the existing form, you want to transform the face and get a quality result, contact the professionals. Then you can easily maintain the resulting shape with tweezers or thread (method of triding).
If you like independent experiments or you just want to correct the eyebrows, only slightly change the existing form, then read our advice and you will be able to cope with this task by 100 percent!
Where to begin?
Sometimes in order to give the eyebrows the optimal shape, taking into account the features of the face, they will have to grow back to begin with. After all, many girls, self-adjusting eyebrows, too addicted, because of what in place of beautiful expressive eyebrows are pinned thin lines.
Growing eyebrows is not so easy as it seems. The problem is that you always want to take up the tweezers and remove the regrown hairs. But you have to wait a little - about two months.
At this time, you can use a pencil and a corrector to give your eyebrows a neat appearance. Mask too much and paint on where there are not enough strokes. The use of oils (castor, almond, burdock, peach) or special ready-made formulations for intensive growth of eyebrows and eyelashes will help speed up the process of growing eyebrows.
What do you need?
You don't need a lot of tools to create eyebrow shapes. Enough high-quality metal tweezers, mirrors, tools for disinfecting the instrument and skin, soothing cream.
A pencil is also needed - it will help you determine what the length of your eyebrow should be and where to make it the highest point. We will come back to this later.
We select eyebrows in accordance with the shape of the face
Features of the oval - the first thing that experts recommend to focus on when selecting the shape of the eyebrows. There are five basic forms.
A round face has a smooth contour without pronounced corners. In this case, the length and width of the face are approximately equal, the characteristic feature is plump plump cheeks. To give the appearance of harmony, eyebrow lines should help to slightly stretch the face, visually bringing its shape to the oval.
In this case, you need to abandon the arcs, which only emphasize the roundness of the face. Chubby girls should raise an eyebrow. Instead of a smooth semicircle, one should prefer the line with a pronounced kink. The beginning of the eyebrow should be relatively wide, and from the point of break, the eyebrow should be gradually narrowed. Observe the measure, do not make too sharp unnatural lines.
The square face is approximately the same width of the cheekbones and forehead. A characteristic difference is the square line of the chin, with fairly pronounced angles. To soften the hard lines of the lower part of the face will allow arched eyebrows with a smooth transition. Clear breaks, thin sharp lines are in this case a bad choice, it’s better to be from them. Do not be afraid to make eyebrows wide enough and expressive, just remember about the softness and smoothness of the lines.
The oval face is considered to be optimal in shape, it has prominent cheekbones, its chin is slightly narrower than the forehead. In this case, you need to maintain the winning proportions and emphasize them in the best way. Choose horizontal eyebrows with a smooth, rather soft curve. Do not lift eyebrow kink too high, otherwise you risk to unnecessarily lengthen and visually stretch the face.
The end of the eyebrow should be slightly pointed. Do not make eyebrows too straight and wide.
Such a technique is probably good for images of models on the catwalk or for shooting in a magazine, but in life it will make the eyes look heavier and make the face harsh.
An elongated face is characterized by high cheekbones and forehead, as well as pointed chin lines. The main difference is that the length is 60 percent or more larger than the width of the face. In order not to make the face even narrower and longer, it is necessary, first of all, to abandon the high arcs of eyebrows.
Visually expand the face and balance the proportions will help straight eyebrows. You know that wide straight eyebrows remain fashionable for many seasons in a row and do not give up their positions yet. The width of the eyebrows can be changed depending on the fit of the eyes, but the lines should be straight, this will soften the stretched and / or rectangular face.
The triangular face (the face in the shape of a heart) is distinguished by a narrow rather sharp chin and a wide upper part of the face - the forehead. Here, despite the fashion, straight eyebrows - a bad choice. Raise your eyebrows slightly and give them a smooth, even bend. Raised slightly rounded lines will balance the upper and lower part of the face, soften the broad forehead.
What else do you need to know?
When working on the line of your eyebrows, do not forget that there are other nuances that need to be taken into account. The length and thickness of the eyebrows also matter.
Too short lines make the look a bit touching, sad and naive. Too long eyebrows can make you visually older. In working with the eyebrows, every detail is really important.
It's time to figure out where your “perfect eyebrow” begins and ends.
So, take an eyebrow pencil and one more pencil of any kind. Apply a pencil to the right wing of the nose. Keep your pencil strictly vertically.
At the intersection of the pencil and eyebrow, there is the very point from which the line should start. Do the same with the left eyebrow. All the excess hairs on the bridge of the nose between the two points of the beginning of the eyebrows you can safely pull out.
Now apply a pencil to the wing of the nose and set it diagonally so that the line passes through the center of the eye (pupil). The intersection of the pencil and eyebrow is the point of the so called fracture of the eyebrow line.
Now do the same, only the pencil line should go from the wing of the nose through the outermost corner of the eye. Mark the point of intersection with the eyebrow, this is the end of your future eyebrow line.
When you have identified all the “strategic points” and you know exactly what form you need, it's time to draw. Yes, it is to draw, because it is quite risky to start picking out hairs immediately without any pattern. Therefore, using a pencil, draw a future eyebrow, make sure that the lines are symmetrical and at the same level.
If you need to fill in extra hair with a white pencil, in order to best present the final result. Is it done? Begin the process of correction.
Disinfect the tweezers, treat your skin with an alcohol lotion, and begin to pull out excess hair. Seize them at the roots so that they do not break off, and pull out along the growth. Do not rush, work as carefully as possible. After the procedure, wipe the skin again with lotion, you can apply ice to remove redness.
It is advisable to apply a soothing, anti-inflammatory, healing cream to the skin.
Correct technique of correction, as well as issues of anesthesia, we devoted a whole to be. Read that everything went as smoothly as possible and you could achieve the desired results.
If something went wrong ...
If you have removed the excess or the shape turned out to be not completely even, decorative cosmetics can always help you. A pencil in the tone of your natural eyebrows (if they are dark and expressive, and you do not tint them additionally), as well as powder and shadows to give intensity to color will help to improve the shape of the eyebrows.

Of course, any rule has exceptions: girls with porcelain skin and curls that resemble a crow's wing in color can have dark eyebrows and look amazing.
As you can see, the ideal color formula is as follows: the color should be slightly lighter than the curls and slightly darker than the eyelashes.
And now more specifically.

- ashy hair tells you what gray to use
- light-blond beauties need to buy a pencil in beige-gray tones,
- the combination “light strands + blue or green eyes” tells you that you need a beige or ash brown shade,
- If you have golden hair, then you need to find a pencil of warm tone.
- dark gray tones will do if they have fair skin,
- and dark brown with chocolate (warm) color,
- Black is the choice of dark-skinned girls with black curls.
And, finally, for red-haired ladies:
- if the hair is red, the choice is brown,
- if the honey shade of the curls, then depending on its brightness it is worth choosing a color ranging from light brown to dark brown,
- if you have chestnut hair and golden skin, then only brown.

How to choose a pencil for eyebrows: colors and shades, types of pencils
The pencil should be fairly hard and sharp. So that they can draw strokes. To facilitate sharpening, you can put a pencil in the freezer for a couple of minutes, and then immediately sharpen.
Some women prefer to use a soft pencil: such that, in addition to correction, it is possible to tint the hairs. However, remember that using this technique, it is very easy to draw too thick fatty stripes, which will make the eyebrows darker than necessary. They will stand out too brightly on the face and look unnatural.
Eyebrow pencil how to choose? It can be mechanical - retractable, or it can be an ordinary cosmetic one that needs to be regularly sharpened. The choice of type depends on the individual preferences of the girl. However, remember that a mechanical pencil will never give such subtle strokes that a sharply sharpened ordinary can draw.
Eyebrow correction
A beautiful and clear line cannot be reached without observing the so-called “eyebrow geometry”.
Here are some tips for correcting them:
- Pluck eyebrows that converge on the nose: this does not paint the girl.
- Pluck sticking out hair: if such exist, no pencil will help.
- Ensure that the eyebrows become more beautiful and expressive, but at the same time do not stand out much on the face: they should be his invisible decoration.
- Nature has given everyone the perfect shape of all facial features. Do not change them drastically: just correct it slightly.
Eyebrows that are wide at the nose are considered ideal. Further, a flat strip should continue, which narrows to the very end. Brow arc - the best landmark in the formation of eyebrows.
The distance between the eyebrows should be about two fingers. In that case, if the eyes are located close to each other, you can make a smaller distance: one and a half fingers.
As for geometry, it is as follows. To determine the edge of the eyebrow, attach a ruler to the wing of the nose and hold it to the inner corner of the eye. The ruler will help determine the edge of the eyebrow at the temple. To do this, you need to attach it from the wing of the nose to the outer corner of the eye. The upper and lower brow curves are determined by applying a ruler to the corner of the lips and passing it through the middle of the pupil. For this it is convenient to use white pencil. Give them a start, middle and end point of the eyebrow. So you can clearly determine the correct form.
Another small secret: the higher the eyebrows are located from the eye, the larger the eyes appear. The wider the eyebrow, the more the eyes appear. However, do not think that too wide and thick eyebrows will make your eyes visually larger. In everything you need to follow the rule of the golden mean.

Application Reviews
Review №1
For tinting eyebrows previously used a pencil from Dior. In principle, he was fine with me, only it was quite expensive and the core was worn out in 2-3 months. Recently discovered a new pencil. This is a cosmetic product from Maybelin. Pencil Satin Brow is not just provided with a brush, like other tools. At one end he has a stylus, but on the other - pressed powder in a cap with a small, comfortable sponge.
This pencil is just a godsend, it is very convenient to use. You draw the hairs with a rod and immediately turn the pencil over with the other end and walk along the eyebrows with a sponge soaked in powder. As a result, eyebrows look quite natural and not smeared. The price of this pencil is three times less than that of Diorovsky, and such parameters as quality and ease of use are much higher.
Review number 2
I have light brown hair, with an ashy tint, and my eyebrows are almost colorless. If you do not tint them and do not use makeup (eye shadow, mascara), I look like a gray mouse. For a long time I didn’t want to pick a suitable eyebrow pencil. I tried many shades. It is said that the color of the eyebrows of blondes should be slightly darker than the main, natural shade of hair.
I tried brown and beige shades of a pencil, but my eyebrows looked unnatural. Finally, I found the perfect option for myself - this is El Corazon pencil. He, unlike other pencils, has a rich palette of shades (11 colors). And I managed to pick up the ashy shade, ideally combined with the color of my hair.
The core of a pencil is quite hard, it is easy for them to draw fine strokes, and now the eyebrows look quite natural. The price is also acceptable, about 100 rubles, so now this pencil is always in my purse.
Review number 3
To tint eyebrows, I use a black pencil from Max Factor. It helps me maintain a beautiful eyebrow shape and mask those areas where hair does not grow.
I just put neat, subtle touches that imitate hairs and eyebrows that look natural and neat. I like that the result is persistent, the pigment is not smeared and does not spread. The stylus is easily sharpened, does not crumble, and one pencil is enough for a long time.
8 Pencil with brush
Very simple and functional: a pencil corrects the eyebrow, and a brush on the cap or from the other end of the pencil gently blends all the strokes. To complete the brush, you can walk across the entire shape of the eyebrow to lay the hairs on growth.
10 gel pencil
With such a brow pencil it is very easy to create the desired shape and the color looks natural. Its advantage is that the gel pencil withstands the test of time and does not crumble during the day.
12 pencil powder
A powder eyebrow pencil fills the shape of the eyebrow better than its “companions”, but it is not suitable for creating clear contours. If you can not choose a brow pencil for oily skin, then the powder pencil is exactly for you! It has a dry texture, and a powdery effect removes excess shine and gives the eyebrows a natural look.
13 pencil tattoo
An excellent replacement for permanent makeup is a permanent eyebrow pencil that is particularly durable. There are such pencils with the effect of tattoo, which, after a single application, keep the result for one week. Of the minuses: a permanent pencil requires special clarity when creating the shape of eyebrows and you need to master the art of its application.
14 Pencil Stick
Due to the texture of the pencil-stick, it is also a lipstick pencil for eyebrows, it gives a smooth and rich coverage, but it is not suitable for creating thin, clear lines. Eyebrows look massive and heavier than they really are. And, by the way, the shape of the stick has long been loved by us for the convenience of application and storage in a cosmetics bag.
15 wax pencil
The wax stick is ideally suited to the most disobedient eyebrows, because its texture allows you to securely fasten the hairs in height, and the coloring pigment adds the desired color. A kind of wax pencil is a fixing eyebrow pencil, usually does not have color, and is used only to create the correct shape.
