Correction of the arcs will help give the face any image and emphasize individuality. Typically, this procedure includes reshaping, plucking, and sometimes coloring.

The secrets of the correct form
Here are the generally accepted rules for the geometry of the brow ridges:
- The form. Borders should be clearly defined, with the upper border of the hairs usually not affected. Look good arc, gradually thinning from the beginning to the end.
- Colour. Visually there should not be big differences between the color of hair and eyebrows. Therefore, too dark eyebrows are better to lighten.

Care after the correction at home and in the cabin
Behind eyebrows after correction daily care is required. Here are some simple recipes:
- Massage. If you daily massage the eyebrows, you can strengthen the structure of the hairs. Use castor or camphor oil for this. Massage is done in the direction from the nose to the temples.
- Compresses. Mix almond oil, beeswax (a tablespoon), add 2-3 drops of apricot kernel oil extract or wheat germ. The mixture is heated in a water bath, and through cotton swabs applied to the eyebrows. Keep the compress you need as long as possible, then rinse the mixture with warm water.
- Mask. Rare eyebrows can be enhanced with a mask of sea buckthorn oil, with the addition of a clove of garlic. The mask is applied for an hour, then rinsed with warm water.
General scheme
The ideal shape of the eyebrows is created according to the general algorithm, which in practice is adjusted for the features of the appearance, by the type of face.
Any eyebrow consists of four points - the beginning, the point of elevation, the highest point and the tip. Rise and highest point can often coincide. The start and end points should be on the same horizontal line.
The beginning of the eyebrow is traditionally located on the same vertical line with the wing of the nose. If the wings of the nose are wide, draw a line from the middle of the wing. If the eyes are close to each other, this point should be shifted closer to the temples. This feature is often found in people with a narrow face. If the eyes are far apart, the beginning of the eyebrows should be shifted closer to the center of the face. This feature is often found in people with a round face.
If eyebrows grow far from each other, you can adjust their length with a pencil or shadows. Use a pencil to tone lighter hairs. Normally set eyes should be at a distance equal to the width of the nose.
There are also closely set eyebrows, which are a short distance from each other. Once you determine where the beginning of the eyebrow should be, you will need to pull out extra hair. But you need to remove them one at a time, as in this zone, the hairs usually do not grow densely and grow poorly after plucking.
If there is a problem of the looming eyelid or the outer corner of the eye from nature has a lowered shape, the tip of the eyebrow should be raised. Lowering the tip will highlight the problem.
Eyebrow tip is usually found like this. Draw a conditional line from the wing of the nose, which passes through the outer corner of the eye. Where this line will cross the eyebrow, there must be its end point.
The upper point is on a conditional line that runs from the wing of the nose through the middle of the pupil.
When building an eyebrow, its width from the beginning to the highest point should be the same, i.e. the lines of its upper and lower borders should be parallel.
The distance from the tip of the nose to the highest point of the eyebrow should be equal to the distance from the tip of the nose to the chin.
Below you will learn how to choose the shape of the eyebrows by type of face.
Round face
The correct eyebrow shape for a round face is with clear lines. The arched lines highlight the flaws of the exterior. Pencil draws the future shape of eyebrows for a round face. Hair that is beyond the boundaries will need to be pulled out with tweezers.
In this case, the head of the eyebrow should be straight. Therefore, we put a straight line at the beginning. Then we find the highest point of the eyebrow and draw a straight line from the beginning to this point. The bottom line should go parallel and not narrow. Then draw a tail from must also have a clear outline. The tail should not be very long. If your own hair is not enough to give such a shape, they need to be drawn with a pencil. Over time, they will grow back and will not need to be drawn.
After you have created the borders of your future eyebrow with a pencil, you need to pull out the extra hairs.
If the upper eyelid is narrow, under the eyebrow you need to apply light shadow when creating makeup. This way you can extend this boundary. The wide area over the eyelid is corrected by darker shadows.
Now you know what eyebrows are needed for a round face and you can create perfect eyebrows at home in 3 minutes.
Face with elongated shape
For girls with such a face eyebrows with a clear break are contraindicated. This form will make the face even more elongated. Therefore, the correct shape of the eyebrows with such appearance - straight or slightly rounded.
Eyebrow start can be straight or smooth. Here you can experiment. The lower line of the brow should be straight. The upper line narrows closer to the tip. In this case, the hairs can be plucked at the top of the eyebrow, which is otherwise not recommended.
For these types of faces it is better to do thick eyebrows, otherwise they will look like mime.
Triangular face
Straight eyebrows in this case are not recommended, as they visually sharpen facial features. But the curved shape will help create their harmony. Eyebrow line should be smooth throughout the length.
To begin with, we find the top point of the eyebrow and slightly raise it. A head and tail, on the contrary, should be lowered a little. Connect the points of a smooth arc from above and below and remove excess hair. Tail do thin.
Rounded eyebrows fit and square face.
Plucking process
Beautiful eyebrow shapes are usually created using three tools:
- tweezers. Good tweezers allow you to pull out hairs without breaking them. Therefore, it is better to spend money and buy a quality tool. You buy tweezers for several years, so here you can not save,
- small scissors. You can use manicure,
- brush for combing eyebrows. It can be replaced with a brush for mascara.
There is also eyebrow correction thread. This way of oriental beauties is best carried out in the cabin, as it requires special skills. Eyebrow correction thread allows you to remove even the smallest and inconspicuous hairs.
How to make perfect eyebrows? To begin with, comb the hairs up to the highest point of the eyebrow. The hairs, which are located behind the highest point, are combed down. Shorten hairs that extend beyond the lower and upper boundaries. Scissors apply 2 mm above the border. You can skip the scissor application step if you don't like eyebrows with clear outlines.
Now we start to work with tweezers. To do this, you need to determine in advance the appropriate form, if necessary, you need to create it with a pencil. Then you should pull out excess hairs, starting from the area under the eyebrow.
Not recommended to pull out hairs in front of a mirror that has a magnifying ability. It distorts the actual size, with the result that we create too thin eyebrows. It is best to adjust the shape in front of a normal mirror and with natural lighting.
It is very important to pull out hairs in the direction of their growth. Otherwise, ingrown hairs may appear in their place.
It is also important to grab the hair at the root so that it is completely removed. And do not pull it out. The hair is enough to pull a little and it will come out by itself. In this case, less injured skin.
Disinfect skin, tweezers and your hands before tweezing.
Girls under 17 years old are not recommended to pull out eyebrows, especially to make them very thin. This can lead to the fact that new hairs do not grow.
Makeup Correction
Now you know how to make a beautiful eyebrow shape, and if they are not thick enough, you can fix it with cosmetics - a pencil and shadows. At first we put cosmetics, then we do feathering with a brush in order to create a more natural look.
If you are working with shadows or pencil, you must remember that the eyebrow can not have a uniform color. The tip is usually the darkest, the middle is lighter, and the beginning is the lightest. This rule will allow you to create perfect eyebrows at home.
To fix the position of the hairs, use a transparent mascara. It has a brush that simultaneously applies the tool and ensures the shaping of the eyebrows.
For correction, you can also use color eyebrow gel. It not only gives shape and direction, but also makes their color more saturated.
Makeup artists usually use a mixed technique for eyebrow correction. The tip is drawn in pencil, the rest - shadows. Then the result is fixed with gel. In addition, the area under and above the eyebrow draws a certain color corrector, which creates the necessary light and shadow and makes the face more alive. This corrector can also correct the width of the nose, the shape of its wings.
Periodically eyebrow correction should be carried out in the salon, then you just need to maintain the result.
First rule
Determination of the point of beginning of the eyebrow, the point of bending of the eyebrow and the point of the end of the eyebrow To determine the point of onset of the brow, you need to draw a vertical line from the extreme point of the wing of the nose. The line connecting the extreme point of the wing of the nose and the outer edge of the pupil, will give us a bend point of the eyebrow. And the line connecting the outermost point of the wing of the nose to the outer edge of the eye will give us the point where the eyebrow should end.
Third rule
The correct chiaroscuro. The darkest place of the eyebrow should be in the area of its bend. The beginning of the eyebrow and the end of the eyebrow should be lighter. Thanks to this rule, eyebrows look soft and voluminous.
Another important point. To ensure that the line is as clear as possible, hold the pencil either with the tip down or “butt” (Perpendicular to the skin plane).
We will stain the upper line of the eyebrow with small strokes, moving between our hairs. Be sure to follow the direction of the strokes - it should coincide with the direction of growth of natural hairs of the eyebrow.
And of course, do not forget about the second rule - the eyebrow line should go straight from the point of origin to the point of bend and straight line from the point of bend to the point of course eyebrow.
Correct the light and shade
To do this, use the shadows. First, preferably matte. Pearl eyebrow eyebrows are completely useless. Secondly, they must be properly matched in color. Eyebrows in color should match or be half a tone lighter than hair color.
Therefore, if your hair is dyed bright red, blond, or any other color other than your natural color, your eyebrows should also be of this shade.
Pencil choose color in color to the natural color of the eyebrows. And choose the shade for the hair color. With these shadows we paint over the area of the bend of the eyebrow. (Remember the third rule).
We also need opaque light shadows (approximately skin-colored), with which we will lighten slightly the beginning and end of the eyebrow. If you want a clearer brow line, you can do the following.
Take the concealer in the color of the skin tint, and brush the “butt” corrector to the pencil line. So the brow line will become even clearer.
The natural shape of eyebrows, given by nature, is best suited to your type of face, not counting the hairs in the nose.
• The appearance of the eyebrow should not be lower than the inside, otherwise you will have a sad look.
• Eyebrows accreted on the bridge of the nose, very round or with older ends with a very old face.
• Slightly shortened or widely spaced eyebrows will make you younger.
• Thick, very broad eyebrows go only to young women with a very lush hairdo. Even wide eyebrows make men think that they face a passionate woman.
• If you have a round face, your eyebrows will NOT fit.
• If you have an oval face, in any case do not make eyebrows "tainted".
• Eyebrows - strings look unnatural and add five years to your age.
• After eyebrow correction, compresses of chamomile and oak bark are necessary.
Remember the rules
1. Starting point. If we draw an improvised line (using our wand) up from the wing of the nose, through the inner corner of the eye to the eyebrow, then the point where the wand will point will be the starting point.
2. The outer edge of the eyebrow. To determine the point of the end of the eyebrow, we place the wand so that its lower tip touches the wing of the nose, and the top, passing through the outer corner of the eye, points to the eyebrow.
3. Bending.To determine the highest point of the eyebrow, where it should bend, but in a natural and beautiful way, apply a wand to the wing of the nose and draw an improvised line up through the iris directly to the eyebrow.
