Eyeshadow vs pencil: who will win the eyebrow battle?

The importance of eyebrows has long been recognized by everyone: the Internet is full of memes, guides and master classes on this topic. It remains only to figure out the best way to dye your eyebrows?

Ease of application and preservation of a natural look are the main advantages of the eyeshadow. They are unlikely to help draw a clear outline: the shadows only paint the hairs, and not the skin around. But they can emphasize the volume and color of "native" eyebrows.

The eyeshadow is recommended for owners of thick, but dull eyebrows, and also for a calm daytime make-up. It will probably need to be updated during the day as shadows can crumble. In addition, you should definitely not get caught in the rain with them.

To dye eyebrows with shadows, you need to get a separate brush or sponge, and then proceed as follows:

• Prepare eyebrows - remove traces of cream or water, comb the hairs with a special brush.
• Apply eyeshadow evenly along the entire length using a brush or sponge. The bend can be worked out more confidently.
• Blend the eyeshadow with a brush or brush.
• Remove excess product behind the eyebrow contour.
• If necessary, fix the eyeshadow with gel or wax.

They can not only emphasize your eyebrows, but literally draw new ones. Eyebrow pencils provide a clear outline and long-lasting rich color, therefore, when applying, they require more skill than shadows. They are especially recommended for owners of rare eyebrows, whose hairs grow far from each other. Pencils are also suitable for anyone who wants to adjust the shape or color.

Standard pencils have a harder lead and need to be sharpened. In automatic pencils, the lead is soft and does not need to be sharpened. And in order not to buy a new tool every time the lead runs out, you can purchase replacement blocks.For example, ARTISTRY ™ Contour Pencil Refills are stored right in its case.

After choosing a suitable pencil, you can proceed to the staining process:

• Prepare your eyebrows. You should remove traces of cream or water, comb the hairs with a special brush.
• If the eyebrows are already the correct shape, draw along their contour with a pencil. First you need to draw the bottom and then the top line.
• If the eyebrow line is too short, you can visually lengthen it with small strokes that mimic the growth of hairs.
• Paint over the rest of the areas with the same small strokes. It is better to concentrate the color on the body and tail of the eyebrow, but its head should remain lighter and be covered with a less dense layer of paint.
• Blend the pencil with a paintbrush or brush.

For those who do not want to be limited to one shade and are eager to experiment, multifunctional eyebrow products are suitable. These can be double-sided pencils, eye shadow palettes, or whole sets - with tweezers, a brush, wax and a mirror.

Such products for eyebrows that combine the advantages of care and decorative cosmetics can be called truly universal.

To combine beauty and benefits, you can choose the following options:

• A cream or wax that not only nourishes the skin, but also gives the hair color.
• Eyebrow fixing gel that is rich in vitamins.
• 3-in-1 Concealer ARTISTRY STUDIO ™ Parisian style edition that simultaneously cares for eyebrows and gives them shape and color.

Each eyebrow product solves a different problem.

The main thing is to experiment. This is the only way every woman will be able to understand the best way to dye her eyebrows: with shadows or with a pencil.
