Secrets
Every girl strives to emphasize her beauty and charm. Eyes are a beauty industry tool that has the ability to transform a model beyond recognition. A beautiful eyebrow shape can correct facial expression or the look itself, and place the right accents. That is why many women are constantly in search of their ideal lines that will help them look flawless.
But the matter is not limited to the desire for a spectacular appearance. After all, there are also fashion trends that dictate the parameters of thickness, width, length and color.
Just a few decades ago, “surprisingly raised string eyebrows” were in fashion; sometimes it seemed that they were not there at all. Today, the fashion industry promotes natural, natural thickness. You can learn how to do them at home if you stick to a few main secrets that eyebrow browsers use.
Eyebrow care
Natural eyebrows are in fashion, so giving them the desired shape is necessary. This can be done at home or in a beauty salon. The choice depends on preferences, free time, material capabilities, and the desire to change oneself.
Beauty salons offer the following services to change the shape of eyebrows:
- Threading (epilation with silk thread). This method is fast and effective. It allows you to pluck even small hairs.
- Microblading. The service appeared relatively recently. It can be called a type of tattoo. With its help, the asymmetry of the brow ridges is corrected, missing hairs are “drawn in”, and filled with color. The duration of the effect is from 6 to 10 months. A prerequisite is correction.
- Eyebrow extension. The procedure is effective, but the result will not please you for long - no more than 2-3 days.
Before eyebrow correction, the skin is prepared. This must be taken into account before correcting your eyebrows to the correct shape at home. Preparation includes 3 stages: removing makeup, applying a damp cloth to the eyelids for a couple of minutes, disinfecting the skin with an antiseptic.
Threading is an effective procedure that allows you to quickly change the shape of your eyebrows.
How to get the perfect eyebrow shape
Modern trends offer several basic architecture variations:
- horizontal, when the beginning and end lie exactly within the same line;
- ascending, when the outer edge is higher than the inner;
- falling, respectively, vice versa;
- smooth, where there is a slight transition from the beginning to a thin line at the end;
- round, suggest a strong arc with an elevation in the central part;
- “house” - with a sharp bend of 2/3, a complex type that is best selected with an eyebrow pencil.
Each of the forms will significantly influence the facial expression: make it serious or surprised, give it oriental mystery or windy openness. Thanks to such changes, it is better to make your choice responsibly and, before plucking, take advice on the correct architecture so that your eyebrows become the highlight of your look.
Selection according to face shape
Modern trends do not require girls to remove excess hair with tweezers for a long time until they are almost completely destroyed. Just look carefully at your natural lines. They can be slightly emphasized using henna or pencil staining.
If it seems that natural contours do not correspond to the style or overall image, then you should pay attention to the advice of eyebrow specialists:
- For those with a round face, arched eyebrows are suitable, but there is no need to make them high, as this will make the look unnatural.
- The triangle will be decorated with straight lines with a slight bend.
- Soft arches are recommended for ovals.
- The square is most often offered elongated, slightly raised features at the beginning with a slight arched end.
- If your face is elongated, then straight, slightly extended lines will suit you.
Do not pick up tweezers to create the correct eyebrow shape at home until you are sure that this particular contour emphasizes all the advantages of the image. First, draw the desired outlines with a pencil or shadows. If you are completely satisfied with them, then you can start making corrections based on the applied stencil.
How can you change the shape of your eyebrows in a cosmetologist’s office?
First of all, an experienced specialist will be able to instantly assess the condition of the eyebrows and choose the ideal shape. Professional cosmetologists will take into account the type of face, natural data, as well as the height and architecture of what nature has given. Not every person will be able to objectively evaluate all the nuances. The salon will offer several options that will completely change your appearance, making it more attractive.
Tattoo
This is one of the most effective methods for correcting arches. The principle of the procedure is that the master, using a special instrument, introduces a safe pigment under the skin. A high-quality tattoo lasts for several years. You are allowed to swim and sunbathe with it. You can choose the color and shape yourself. The cosmetologist will draw what will happen in the end, so the client will know exactly what awaits him. The procedure is carried out using anesthetics. The artist applies anesthesia directly to the area of work, so tattooing is almost painless.

Plastic
A brow lift is a procedure recommended for women with the following problems:
- due to age, the brow ridges become deformed and the eyebrows hang over the eyelid;
- eyebrows lower and change shape, creating the effect of an angry face;
- horizontal folds appear on the forehead;
- eyebrow folds appear;
- the skin over the upper eyelids becomes loose and looks like fat deposits.
There are two ways to perform plastic surgery:
- Endoscopy . With this method, the doctor makes small incisions along the hairline of the eyebrows and removes excess fat or skin. After this procedure, the face looks younger, and traces of plastic surgery are invisible. Incision Lift – This method is used to correct serious signs of aging. The cosmetologist-surgeon cuts the skin from ear to ear along the scalp. This is a complete upper facial rejuvenation procedure. When deciding on such deep operations, you should remember that they are surgical interventions and are performed under anesthesia.
- Extension. The beauty procedure for extensions appeared relatively recently, but has already managed to acquire an army of fans. What is this new service? So, hair extensions are the sequential gluing of artificial hairs into the eyebrows. The end result looks natural and the color and thickness suit the wearer perfectly. This procedure is safe and painless, and the end result looks very natural and natural. However, this method will not work if your eyebrows have:
- burns, wounds or scars;
- fungus, eczema or other skin disease;
- swelling or swelling of the face.
The procedure lasts from 30 minutes to 2 hours, and the effect lasts from 14 to 30 days. After this, the hairs fall out and a repeat procedure is required.

Construction
One of the most difficult stages at which many girls and novice eyebrow artists stumble. It is from this that in most cases the outcome varies. After all, the result of hair removal depends on how accurately and correctly the contour is applied. If there are empty spaces, you can wait a very long time for them to become overgrown again. Take the architecture stage as responsibly as possible and follow the principle “measure twice, pluck once.”
Stencil method
Suitable for beginners who are faced with creating perfectly correct outlines for the first time. Stencils can be purchased at any beauty store; their cost is low, which allows you to purchase templates for each correction.
Procedure algorithm:
- the process is performed on a completely clean face (without makeup), so you should wash off all traces of makeup using foam or good micellar water;
- pin up your bangs, tidy up your hair so that nothing distracts you;
- In the package you can usually find several types of stencils at once, so try them on before applying the product. You can circle some of them with a pencil to determine the result as accurately as possible;
- take a dark soft cosmetic marker or mascara. Draw outlines through the template holes.
If after application everything looks beautiful, the face and eyes have become more expressive, you can begin correction.
Three Line Method
It will already be needed by those who have mastered standard modeling options, or who do not have stencils at hand. Sometimes it seems difficult, but in reality it is not. Steps:
- The first line will begin at the point determined by the connection of the wing of the nose and the inner corner of the eye. You can measure it simply by attaching a pencil. This will be the beginning of the whole structure.
- The second is a straight segment from the original position, ending in the pupil area. This is the bend line that determines the ideal position where the thickness will need to be reduced.
- And the last ray connects all segments to the outer corner of the eye. This is the final point of the simulation.
Then all that remains is to draw a beautiful outline with the necessary narrowing and admire the result.
Secrets to creating perfect eyebrows
Basics of eyebrow architecture.
When creating the shape of the eyebrows, we always carefully study the features of the face, paying attention to the fit and shape of the eyes, as well as the geometry of the face.
Nature is amazing in its diversity. People's eyes differ not only in shape, but also in fit, shape, size and anatomical features.
It is customary to distinguish 7 types of face shapes:
1. Oval shape.
This form is considered ideal according to natural lines. Eyebrows of any shape suit her; eyebrows with a soft bend look especially impressive.
An eyebrow with a high rise and a short tip is recommended.
3. Rectangular shape.
Straighter and longer eyebrows are suitable, without high rises or bends.
4. Square shape.
Eyebrows in the form of a high, rounded arch are ideal. A straight line of eyebrows, with a smoothly rounded, elongated tip, is also suitable. Excessively dark and thin eyebrows are excluded.
5. Triangular shape.
An arched long eyebrow with a raised ponytail is recommended. A short straight eyebrow is contraindicated.
6. Pear-shaped.
The eyebrows are slightly spaced and lengthened. A straight graceful line or slightly rounded with a smooth top and a long tail is recommended.
7. Diamond shape.
This shape is characterized by angularity, which must be smoothed out with round eyebrows in the form of a regular arc. Eyebrows of the correct straight shape are also suitable. Sharp breaks should be avoided.
For a more detailed understanding of how an eyebrow is built, you must first identify 5 important points of which it consists:
- The beginning of the eyebrow is at the lower edge.
- The beginning of the eyebrow is at the upper edge.
- Top of the eyebrow, peak.
- Along the lower edge of the eyebrow under the top.
- The end of the eyebrow, tail.
Correction of the shape of the face and eyes by moving 5 main points.
Planting the eyes, working with points 1 and 2 (beginning of the eyebrow):
- If the eye position is normal (A=B=A), then the proportions are ideal and do not require correction.
- When landing close (A>B
- Wide-set eyes are also a common occurrence (AA), in which case the area between the eyebrows must be brought closer using coloring or decorative cosmetics.
Eye shape, working with point 3 (peak of the eyebrow):
- almond-shaped, classic shape, do not touch volume 3;
- round eyes, for visual extension of point 3 we move from the center of the face to the periphery;
- narrow eyes, move number 3 to the center of the face to visually round the shape of the eye.
Face shape, working with point 4:
- if the face is long, then point 4 must be moved down, the eyebrows will become straighter along the bottom line (points 1-4-5) and the face will be extended in width;
- in the case of a wide face, point 4 should be shifted to the center of the face diagonally (points 1-4) to give the eyebrows an expressive bend and increase the length of the face.
Finishing the eyebrow, working with points 1 and 5:
In nature, there are 3 types of eyebrow classification along the horizontal axis:
- classic (the beginning of the eyebrow along the bottom line is located on the same horizontal line as the tail);
- ascending (the beginning of the eyebrow along the bottom line is located below the end horizontally);
- falling (the beginning of the eyebrow along the bottom line is located above the tail).
All options are acceptable except the falling tail. This makes the face visually sad and tired.
Eyebrow head, working with points 1 and 2:
- round (classic, suitable for calm and gentle girls);
- square (graphic, suitable only for a model face with ideal features);
- oblique (corrects the position of the eyes).
Marking and shaping eyebrows for coloring.
Classic form construction:
Today, there are many options for building and searching for eyebrow shapes. Let's start our analysis with the classic form created by nature itself.
- The beginning of the eyebrow/head is the middle between the center of the face and the inner corner of the eye;
- The tip of the eyebrow is the midpoint between the vertical lines of the outer contour of the face and the outer contour of the eye;
(! We identified 2 extreme points and divide this line into 3 equal parts!)
- The top of the eyebrow/apex is 2/3 of the length from the beginning (the height of the eyebrow rise = the vertical width of the eye);
- The body of the eyebrow is the distance from the head to the bend in 2 parallel lines;
- Symmetry - maintaining the angle at which the eyebrow is built.
Constructing a shape with thread, ruler and pencil:
In practice, the most convenient and fastest marking is marking with thread, ruler and pencil. As a rule, there is already a certain established form that can no longer be radically changed. Only easy correction using the tricks and subtleties discussed above.
The border of the beginning of the eyebrow - draw a straight line from the wing of the nose to the inner corner of the eye, continuing to the point where the line and the eyebrow intersect.
Brow end line – draw a straight line from the wing of the nose to the outer corner of the eye, continuing to the point where the line and the eyebrow intersect.
How to pluck correctly
This is the most critical stage, and therefore requires careful preparation:
- To begin, draw clear lines that will be clearly visible to the naked eye. To do this, you can take a contrasting pencil.
- In the direction of growth, you need to comb your hair with a special brush. If you don’t have one, you can take a dry and cleaned mascara brush.
- Start from the bottom edge, stretching the skin so as not to damage it. Remove the excess in rows, do not try to grab the bun that comes out from under the contour, this can lead to the formation of bald patches.
- The top line must be adjusted very carefully. It is she who visually changes the look, sometimes not for the better. Therefore, just trim it, removing unnecessary hairs that are out of line.
The effect of the procedure depends not only on experience, architecture and sense of proportion, but also on the instrument. It should be sharp and capture even small fluff well.
Now you know how to properly shape your eyebrows, however, often girls fail to remove only what is needed the first time, or there are gaps in this area due to scars. In this case, other assistants will come in handy.
Correction
Before you start plucking out excess hairs, you need to prepare the skin: lightly steam or cool, or lubricate it with cream to reduce pain, then treat it with a disinfectant solution. Stainless steel tweezers with beveled or narrow tips will ensure precise capture of the shortest bristles and avoid breaking. Having positioned the working part of the tool as close to the root as possible, carefully remove the hair in the direction of growth, slightly pulling the skin. Carefully work the area of the bridge of the nose, then proceed to the sub-brow area, leaving the superciliary part untouched. Comb your eyebrows with a brush, directing the hairs upward; if some are out of line, adjust their length with scissors. To complete the process, treat the skin with an antiseptic again. You can also remove unwanted vegetation using wax strips; this method significantly saves time.

How to choose a color
If the contour is chosen according to the type of face, then the color itself is chosen according to the shade of the hair. There are several axioms that will help you decide:
- Blondes. If we are talking about a natural ombre, given by nature, then you should choose coloring agents 1-2 shades darker than the roots. If the natural characteristics are changed by paint, focus on 1 unit lighter than the original shade. Platinum will be emphasized by dark and even black eyebrows.
- Brunettes and brown-haired women. Almost all brown tones will suit chestnut curls. Cappuccino can shade dark gray. If the hairs are darker, you're lucky; you don't need to reinvent the wheel.
- Redheads. Here the palette will vary from terracotta to all variations of brown.
If you have doubts about the choice, it is better to visit a specialist for the first time, who will select the ideal shade, and then you can do all the procedures yourself, absolutely sure that everything is chosen correctly.
Another way is to enroll in a course at the International School of Professions and learn all the intricacies from scratch. We will help you understand all the nuances of choosing a shape, architecture and painting, and also tell you how to apply makeup correctly and upon completion of the training, we will issue you a specialist certificate.
Eyebrow correction at home
The shape of the eyebrows is chosen exclusively for the type of face:
- Rising. The edge of the hairs is placed slightly above the base. This shape will make your look open. In addition, it will suit any face.
- Broken. This type allows you to add coquetry and a little slyness to your look. An example is the famous actress Elizabeth Taylor.
- Horizontal. Suitable for sophisticated features. A straight line will slightly shorten an elongated face, visually making it rounder. For other face types, you should not choose this option. It will give the face lifelessness and emotionlessness.
- Curved is the most common type in the fashion industry.
- A little house. This form should be avoided by everyone. She makes the look frown and adds age.
- Arc-shaped. Nowadays this form is considered vulgar, but it was popular several years ago. Semicircular eyebrows soften the features of a round face. If you want to do it, you should perform the steps extremely carefully. The whole point is that arcs of this type should not be overly narrow.
Eyebrow tinting options
You can give the desired shade every day, spending a couple of tens of minutes on it, drawing out the exact shape (especially until your hand is full) or use permanent coloring once a month. Each girl chooses tools and methods independently. Is it convenient for her to change her image every day and experiment, or is it better to give preference to the classics and not waste extra minutes getting ready?
But most often, coloring is chosen by those who have pronounced defects, for example, areas without hair and noticeable gaps.
Shadows
One of the simplest options that will help emphasize the contours, and therefore transform the entire shirt-up. There are a few golden tips that will come in handy in creating perfect eyebrows:
- palettes with glitter are not used, even for the evening, only matte shades;
- suitable for those who want to add contrast to the image, without needing to fill in any defects;
- allows you to achieve a soft and natural effect, which will highlight your style;
- do not go beyond the drawn lines, even if you really want to, it is better to do this in other ways;
- To make the choice convenient, use a special eyebrow palette, it contains all the necessary palette.
This option is absolutely not recommended for those with fine features.
Pencil
Suitable if you don’t want to resort to strong dyes, but there is a need to hide minor defects or gaps. It will help give expressiveness if you follow a few tips:
- use only sharply sharpened cosmetic pencils intended for this area;
- You should not use eyeliner products - they are too soft, they will smear if you accidentally touch them with your hand, and will make your eyebrows unnatural and theatrical;
- if there is nothing except a greasy pencil, then after application, fix it with transparent powder;
- Don't draw one continuous line. A line technique that imitates the growth of conventional waxes is ideal;
- Finally, comb your hair with a special brush.
Do not use tinting products after drawing, there is a chance of ruining everything and spreading colored spots across the skin.
Gel for eyebrows
There shouldn't be any problems with this option. The main thing is to remember the basic rule - apply it after other components of the make-up. This is the finishing touch to creating the perfect look. First, the gaps are filled in with a pencil, for volume you can use shadows, and only then apply a brush with the collected product in the direction of growth to consolidate the result.
This works with colorless styling products. If colored ones are used, then everything will be even simpler. Without preliminary preparation, you can apply the gel with a brush along the hair growth, trying to paint it to the roots so as not to create the impression of bald spots if the shade is very different.
Eye shadow or mascara
If you don’t have specialized tools at hand, it doesn’t matter. The most common ones that can be found in any cosmetic bag will do. The main rule in application is not to overdo it.
If we talk about shadows, then it is better to choose matte ones that match the shade so that they last longer. Stylists recommend applying them with a damp brush and securing them on top with gel or mascara. The latter should be used only for coloring hairs, being careful not to touch the skin. The result is a gorgeous natural microblading effect.
Eyebrow tinting with special paint
If you have doubts about whether you can cope with such a task, it is better to turn to professionals. Artificial dyes last for more than 2 weeks, maintaining a bright and rich shade, so if you make a mistake in the contours or coloring, you will not be able to quickly correct the defect. If you are confident, then:
- choose the right tone;
- prepare the tinting mixture strictly according to the manufacturer’s instructions written for this specific product;
- Before the procedure, thoroughly cleanse the skin and exfoliate;
- circle the area around the eyebrows with oil or cream;
- apply the paint in a thick layer along the entire length, try not to go beyond the boundaries of the applied outline;
- maintain the required time, according to the manufacturer’s recommendations;
- Use a sponge or cotton pad soaked in an oily liquid to remove the coloring agent.
There is no need to rinse the composition with water. To maintain the effect for a long time, it is recommended to prevent liquid from entering this area.
Eyebrow dyeing with henna
This is a natural component that can be used without doubt or fear for your own health. It is important to take precautions and strictly follow the instructions. Otherwise, instead of a rich brown shade, you can get a bronze-green shade.
Procedure algorithm:
- skin cleansing and thorough peeling;
- degreasing;
- in order not to paint over unnecessary areas, apply oil or cream around;
- dilute the henna according to the instructions, you should get a mushy mass;
- use a marker to draw the outlines;
- apply the mixture in a thick layer;
- remove the composition after 10-15 minutes with a dry cotton swab.
Do not overexpose the paint for more than the time recommended by the manufacturer - this will lead to a negative coloring result.
Permanent tattoo
This is a radical option that will help you not think about correction for a long time. Using a needle, the master will apply the coloring pigment into the upper layers of the dermis, strictly along the contours. Recently, a technique has become widespread when the eyebrow artist imitates the natural growth of hairs with thin strokes.
It’s worth mentioning right away that the first time the effect will be too bright, there will be gaps and defects. Therefore, after the time recommended by the specialist, it is necessary to carry out the final correction, which will help create the ideal image. Re-application will be required after the pigment has burned out. This period is different for everyone, from 6 months to 1.5 years. Now you know how you can create a beautiful eyebrow shape for yourself at home by looking at the right photos and reading the step-by-step description of the process. We have no doubt that this will help you look perfect in any situation, even when you don’t have a stencil, special pencil or gel at hand. Be charming and always fully armed with simple but useful beauty tips from the masters of the International School of Professions.

Why change your eyebrow shape?
It is not necessary to radically change the shape of the brow ridges. Often the appropriate option is the one that was given by nature initially. It makes sense to adjust it in such a way that it allows you to correctly highlight the advantages of your face.
Important! After correction (in the salon or at home), the shape needs to be corrected once a week. This will allow you to preserve it for as long as possible.
Sometimes the hairs need serious adjustments because their location does not match the type of face.
When choosing a suitable shape, take a pencil and create an impromptu line. In order to perform all actions correctly, the following steps should be followed:
- The edge of the pencil is applied to one of the wings of the nose and turned vertically. It should touch the eyebrow, passing near the inner corner of the eye. The resulting point will be the beginning of the brow ridge.
- A second line is drawn using the same pattern, but it should reach the eyebrows, passing from the wing of the nose near the outer corner of the eye. This is where the line will end.
- A bend is created using a similar principle. The tip of the pencil is applied to the wing of the nose and drawn through the middle of the eye. The bend point should be where the pencil intersects the eyebrow.
The brow ridges can be given one of 4 main shapes:
When choosing the shape of your eyebrows, you should take into account the features and shape of your face.
The choice is made based on facial features, and not arbitrarily:
- For an oblong face, straight eyebrows that are slightly away from the bridge of the nose are suitable.
- For a square face, long and high arches will be appropriate.
- The rounded and slightly raised shape is a great option for a round face.
- Arched eyebrows are suitable for oval.
Before correcting hair and creating makeup, it is worth studying the types presented.
Important! Correction can be performed for wide eyebrows. Nothing will work with narrow ones. You'll have to wait for the hairs to grow back.
Giving your eyebrows the right shape is an important step in creating makeup and shaping your look. Wrong actions can make facial expressions funny and awkward. For this reason, extreme caution should be used. It is worth remembering that a failed experiment will not look worse than unkempt hairs. Neglect of yourself will definitely have a negative impact on the attention of men.
To avoid having to walk around for a long time with the wrong shape of your brow ridges, you first need to draw a sketch of your future eyebrows. To do this, use decorative cosmetics, which will help make everything smooth and beautiful.
