How to paint eyebrows in pencil and shadows correctly

Many women know the unbreakable rule of doing makeup: either bright lips or focus on the eyes. About eyebrows, many of us undeservedly forget. They can be insignificant and require additional painting. In this article, we will talk about how to properly stain eyebrows with a pencil or with the help of shadows. Even eyebrows of ideal shape need competent underlining. Skilfully shading them, you can achieve an impressive effect - to make the look open and expressive.

How to choose an eyebrow pencil?

Now the stores can proudly boast of a rich assortment of pencils from different companies and various shades for eyebrow makeup. Earlier, beauties were using eyebrows with usual mascara or pencils designed for the eyes. Those who do not know all the nuances of the girl's makeup and now, sometimes, use eyeliner to draw eyebrows. But these funds are not suitable for such purposes. Pencils for the eyes are too soft and on the hairs will easily spread.

Special eyebrow pencils have a harder slate base. With their help, it is easy to create a density effect, after finishing with fine lines additional hairs.

• Pencil does not have to choose the most expensive. And among the budget versions there are worthy goods. Make sure the quality of the pencil, drawing a strip on his hand - it should be uniform, without interrupted areas and lumps. The griffin should look solid and homogeneous.
• The composition of the pencil can also be different, wax and powder are popular. They also have a different degree of brilliance. This is either matte, or with shining sequins - a shimmer.
  
  
  
• When buying this important cosmetic item, pay attention to the smell of the lead. It should not have a chemical shade, be excessively intense and sharp. Famous producers try to add pleasant aromatic compositions to the composition of the lead.
• Another significant nuance is whether the pencil has water resistance. The advantages of this property are that in the summer heat, in rainy or snowy weather, you do not have to worry about the look of your tinted eyebrows. Without water resistance, too, a successful make-up is possible, but it is rather suitable for short wearing, for photo sessions indoors and when you are rarely on the street.
• The pencil can be retractable or conventional, with the ability to sharpen it. Retractable is much more convenient, it can be taken on the road for the correction of makeup.
  But a simple pencil will be unequivocally sharper, and it's easier to make perfect make-up.

Rules for choosing the color of the eyebrow pencil

Among the whole palette of eyeliner pencils, three primary colors can be distinguished: coal, gray and brown. Between them are various transitional tones and mixed shades. Let's get acquainted with the rules of their successful selection:

• When targeting the coloring of the head of hair, take note of the paramount rule: for dark-haired ladies - a pencil for a couple of tones is lighter than the color of the strands, for blondes - a couple of shades darker.
• Consider the color of eyes and skin. If the exterior looks golden shades and warm colors, your makeup colors are brownish, warm. Cold colors, grayish scale - for blue-eyed and gray-eyed beauties with tender pale skin.
• The pale tone of your skin, the lighter the pencil you need to buy. The exception is only one: the darkest black color is ideal for women with a winter type of appearance( pale skin, cold shade of hair, blueness in the whites of the eyes).
• If you do not paint your hair, then your eyebrow color is perfectly harmonious by nature. Choose a pencil of the closest shade to your eyebrows.

For makeup often use a pair of pencils. Choose the same color, but one shade is darker, the other is lighter. In the future, we will give a detailed instruction on how to beautifully make up the eyebrows in pencil step by step using different shades of the same color.

We define with eyebrow makeup palette for blondes, brunettes and redheads:

1. What colors to paint eyebrows in pencil brunettes? Do not repeat a common mistake when choosing the color of coal. Women with fair complexion and cold overflow of hair should stop on the dark-gray color of the eyeliner. The hairs of the chocolate shade harmonize with the dark brown eyebrows. Black color is suitable for women with a swarthy face and blue-black curls.
   
   
   
2. If you are a natural blonde, but have changed your head to a darker color, then the color should be selected, focusing on the acquired shade of hair.
3. Now we define the palette for the lucky ones with light hair. Blondes are forbidden to approach the black eyeliner. Blond hair, plus black eyebrows - is, according to generally accepted canons, bad taste and vulgarity. Beware of ignorance of this fact from the fashion world. Colorless eyebrows should be carefully selected with a light pencil.
   • If the curls have ashy notes, then for you the pure gray color of the liner is ideal. Beige tone and chocolate colors with gray tones will go to blondes with blue and emerald eyes.
   • Wheat hair needs a beige gray shade.
   • For blond hair with golden overflows a warm tint of make-up is required.
4. Red-haired girls should take a closer look at chestnut and brown shades with golden sparkles.
   
   
   

   The right choice will be a terracotta pencil. The main rule: its color should be more muffled than the hair itself. If the curls are closer to the fiery red color, then scarlet dyeing eyebrows is strictly forbidden. It is better to stop on the universal brown version. Red-haired women should give up gray and black in make-up.

5. If there are gray hairs on the eyebrows or unpainted hairs in the hair, then get a gray-brown or dark gray pencil.
6. Cold colors of appearance are combined with the same bluish, gray, calm colors in cosmetic paints. A similar palette of yellowish, golden, chocolate colors is ideal for "warm" appearance.

When you have already colored your eyebrows with the color chosen according to the recommendations, it is important to evaluate the correctness of the choice made. For this you need to look at yourself in the mirror in daylight.
