Eyebrows give a definition to face and grooming them and giving them shape can make your face look cleaner and more beautiful and make your eyes appear larger and more expressive. Eyebrow pencils are much in use but they may add artificiality to the face. A natural eyebrow look can be achieved by using brow colors with the help of short brush with stiff bristles. Too heavy brows add a Neolithic look to your face and are supposed to make you look wild and powerful. Here are some useful tips that you can make to make your brows beautiful:
- Tweeze only the hairs underneath your brows to shape them.
- Many people have beautifully shaped eyebrows naturally that just need to be defined instead of alteration.
- Tweezing the brows after the shower is much easier and less painful. To fill in the gaps in the eyebrow shape, use a color that matches the natural colors of your brows or a shade lighter than that.
For temporary shaved eyebrow look, use eyebrow wax to smooth them and hide them.Groom the eyebrows using a clear eyebrow gel and an eyebrow brush. Comb them and pluck stray hairs above the brow line. - It is best to stick with natural shape usually and seek professional help for first-time threading.
Calculate the arch of the eyebrows by using the ruler. It should start from the side of your nose to the same line on the outer corner of the eye. The high point should be on the outer side of the pupil. Fill the gaps with short strokes of the pencil. - Eyebrow color should be two shades darker than your hair color. Concealer, as the name suggests, is used to conceal facial imperfections and hide blemishes, under-eye circles, spider veins, dark spots, pimples, scars and birth marks and give us the look of flawless skin. Denser than foundation, concealer comes as sticks, cream and tubes and cab also be used to cover ruddy areas and freckles on the face. Since concealer is mostly used to cover up the darker spots on the face, generally one shade lighter than the foundation is chosen for the concealer though sometimes, people also use concealers that are two shades lighter than the foundation. Concealer, which is much lighter than foundation, or a mismatched concealer may result in over-emphasizing a spot rather than covering it up. For people with dry skin and need to camouflage larger areas such as under-eye circles, liquid concealer is the best foundation while solid concealer is better to hide definite areas such as pimples, scars and bruises.
Cream to powder foundation can also serve as a concealer than blends easily with the skin. For the perfect skin look, gently pat the concealer on with fingertips and be sure to cover entire under-eye area and outside area of the eyes as it often ends up red and dry after a long day. If you are using liquid or solid foundation, you should use foundation first and then the concealer but if you are using a cream-to-powder foundation, use concealer first and then the foundation. A concealer type may also depend on the area you want to cover. Drier concealer is better for covering up the face in general but for more delicate areas such as under-eye area, a creamier concealer is much better. Concealers with white, green or pink base most often do not match with the skin tones and the foundation of a person, leaving the imperfections highlighted rather than covered, so be sure to buy a yellow-based concealer to match your foundation. |
