When it comes to applying makeup for their eyebrows, many women fear that the results will not be natural, that they will look unrealistic and that they will harden their features. To prevent this from happening and to be able to show off perfect eyebrows, there are some basic makeup tips that must be taken into account. Because if it's done right, both the eyebrows and the look are transformed as if by magic.
The step by step to apply eyebrow makeup with a pencil
At first it may seem difficult, but with the right eyebrow pencil, things change a lot. An eyebrow pencil is basic, no matter what type of eyebrow you have, it will always be very useful to have one with which to shape and fill small gaps.
The first step is to choose carefully the pencil that will be used for this purpose. The tone must be correct since a tone that is too dark or warm can look very artificial and harden very much. In this sense it is almost better to use a tone a little lighter than darker. Another point that will make the work easier is that the pencil is creamy but precise, allowing you to fill in but also create fine lines.
The next step is to observe the eyebrows and be clear about the design you want to achieve. This way it will be easier to work on the eyebrow and create the shape that was intended as a base.
The next thing, before applying makeup, is to prepare the skin. It is important that the area is clean, without traces of makeup, creams or impurities. This will help any product work better and last longer.
Once we have the skin ready, it will be of great help to mark the shape of the eyebrow. You must mark the arch and the lower part following the natural shape of your eyebrow itself, avoiding too rigid lines. Combing the eyebrow beforehand will be a great help to better see the shape and where there is a need to fill in.
Next, with the pencil, begin to fill in the eyebrows with small strokes similar to natural hair. The idea is that the eyebrow looks fuller and denser but with a natural result and not a block.
Finally to integrate the strokes, brush the eyebrows upward and in the natural direction of the eyebrows. This way all the work will be integrated and the effect will look more natural.
How to choose a good eyebrow pencil
Many times, one of the big mistakes is not having a pencil of the right color, and no matter how much technique you have, if the tone fails, the result is inevitably artificial.
You always have to take into account the color of the hair to complement it and be in harmony with the face. Natural blondes can highlight and deepen their eyebrows by raising their darkness a little with a brown. On the other hand, brunettes who have brown or black hair should ideally choose one or two shades lighter so that their features soften and the outfit does not look too hard.
The balance between hair and eyebrow tone is key to achieving flattering, natural and elegant makeup, without dramatization. It is also important to pay attention to the undertones of the hair. If, for example, your hair has copper undertones, look for a slightly warmer eyebrow color, while if your hair is ash blonde, you should avoid reddish pigments.
Another point to keep in mind when choosing the ideal pencil is to look at the tip. If you want to make precise lines and create hair by hair, then here you have to go for an eyebrow pencil with an ultra-fine tip, even today we find them with three tips to create hair in each pass. But if you are looking to fill gaps with a blurred effect, then creamy formulas that work well and blend easily are perfect.
