How to draw your eyebrows? Our guide for beginners
Well-defined eyebrows enhance your look and harmonize your entire makeup. Discover our complete guide to learn how to properly apply eyebrow makeup yourself.
For successful eye makeup, drawing your eyebrows well is an essential step. Sometimes tricky when you're not used to it, this part of your makeup should not be neglected. But, when you're a beginner, drawing your eyebrows correctly can be a complex task. That's why we're giving you some tips for successful eyebrow makeup.
Choosing the right eyebrow pencil
The first step is to choose your eyebrow pencil carefully.
Which eyebrow pencil should I choose?
Ideally, you should use a pencil with a slightly oily lead or with a gel texture that is easier to apply. Pencils with drier leads are not recommended for beginners, as they can be more difficult to use.
Which shade to choose?
The most important thing is to choose the right shade. We recommend that you choose a shade that is close to your natural color, or even slightly darker.
For blondes, opt for a light brown shade to further define your eyebrow line. For brunettes, opt for a color similar to that of your eyebrows. Avoid black (unless it is your natural color), as it tends to harden the look.
Our tips for easily enhancing your eyebrows
Even if you're not used to wearing makeup, it's possible to achieve successful eyebrow makeup. Here are our best tips.
Well-Plucked Eyebrows
To begin with, it is essential to have well-plucked eyebrows. The best thing to do is to go to a beauty salon for eyebrow waxing , at least for the first few times. You will thus gather valuable advice and will be able to start on a good basis that you will be able to maintain more easily.
The 3 points of reference to respect
For well-defined eyebrows, three areas are particularly important to mark.
The head of the eyebrow
This area corresponds to the beginning of your eyebrow above the inner corner of your eye. It is delimited by the line that passes through the outer ridge of your nose and the inner corner of your eye. If your eyebrow does not naturally cover this area, it may be interesting to fill this gap. This will allow you to highlight your eyes.
The arc
The arch of your eyebrow is normally located on the right side that passes through the outer bridge of your nose and the center of your pupil. So slightly accentuating the arch of your eyebrow at this point can be a trick to give you a more expressive look.
The tail of the eyebrow
This is the last area that will structure your look. It is precisely located on the right that passes through the bridge of your nose and the outer corner of your eye. As for the head of your eyebrow, if it does not naturally cover this area, slightly extend the tail of your eyebrow with a pencil. This will put more emphasis on your eyes and intensify your makeup.
A clean and precise outline
For a guaranteed result, start by brushing your eyebrows with a small brush. Remove impurities and put the hairs of your eyebrows in the same direction. Another tip, for the outline of your eyebrows, make small strokes as if you wanted to draw your eyebrows hair by hair. Follow the direction of growth of the hairs of your eyebrows and avoid marking your outline too pronouncedly.
If you have areas where your eyebrows are thin, don't hesitate to fill them in with small strokes of pencil. Above all, once you have obtained a satisfactory outline, remember to blur slightly for a more natural effect.
You can also apply an eyebrow fixing gel .
Perfect the outline of your eyebrows
Finally, last step, if you want to enhance your look even more, do not hesitate to use a light eye shadow or a highlighter just below your eyebrows and on the inner corner of the eye. This will have the effect of illuminating your look and enhancing your entire makeup.
Permanent Makeup: An Alternative to Eyebrow Makeup
If you don't want to have to put on makeup every morning, you can opt for permanent makeup. This technique, performed only in beauty salons, uses dermopigments inserted into the superficial layers of the skin.
An eye beautician will offer you a personalized outline that will enhance the natural lines of your eyebrows. This will allow you to enjoy impeccable makeup on all occasions.
If you want to enjoy well-defined eyebrows and you are completely new to the art of makeup, this alternative may be ideal.
