A variant of a pencil can be called felt-tip pen... With its help, you can draw a shape, give color to the eyebrows and draw "bald spots". Typically, a felt-tip pen has a softer texture and is easier to use than a pencil.

Not so long ago appeared mascara for eyebrows. However, she quickly gained popularity. Looks like a tube of mascara. Inside the tube there is a colored gel. By applying mascara with a brush, it is possible to give the eyebrows a suitable shape, fill in the space between the hairs, and also provide them with a richer color. There are 2 in 1 products, where on one side of the product there is a tube of mascara for eyebrows, on the other - a transparent gel fixative. It helps to consolidate the result obtained.

There is also lipstick. The remedy is sometimes referred to as liquid shadows. Its consistency resembles lipstick, which thickens each hair, dyes it, due to which the eyebrows look more voluminous and expressive. Additional functions include eyebrow fixation. For coarse, frizzy and unruly hairs, purchase wax or gel. They help to "hold" the hairs in a given shape. Cosmetics do not spread, can be used as a stand-alone product or over eyeshadows.

In order to permanently give your eyebrows a shade, you can use a tint. Tint looks like lipstick or pencil and, unlike paint, is cleaner and easier to apply. The tint provides the desired tone for several days, can be used in combination with wax or eyebrow gel. Before applying the product the hairs must be combed, giving the eyebrows a suitable shape.

In order to answer this question, you need to understand for what purpose the eyebrow cosmetics will be used. For example, a soft pencil to match the eyebrows or half a tone lighter is suitable for drawing the shape. You need to lead the line without pressure, moving from the bridge of the nose to the bend of the eyebrow, and then from the bend to the ends. If there are not enough hairs in some areas, you need to draw them using shadows, cushion or lipstick. Even an inexperienced user can handle these tools. Professionals can fill in "bald spots" with a pencil, felt-tip pen, drawing lines that mimic natural hairs.

If you need to darken the hairs by several tones, it is better to use eyebrow mascara rather than shadows or lipstick. It will give a more pronounced effect and brighter color. The final stage of eyebrow shaping will be the use of a fixative gel. If you use lipstick or mascara, you can do without it, since these products already contain a fixer.

If you're looking for an all-in-one remedy, take a look at fondant. According to professionals, the product replaces pencil, eyeshadow and fixer. However, applying the product requires some skill. To avoid excess product on the eyebrows and too bright color, you should first test the fondant on the back of your hand. This will allow you to remove excess makeup from the brush (if the product is applied by it), to determine its intensity.

When choosing cosmetics for eyebrows you should be guided by the type of skin... For oily and combination skin, it is better to purchase dry products - a pencil with a not too soft outline and wax in the composition, shadows, cushion. But it is better to refuse more fatty products - mascara, lipstick and creamy products. Chances are high that they will bleed, making the look messy. For owners of dry and normal skin, any product is suitable.

The next criterion for choosing a product is its shade.... It is recommended for brunettes to dye their eyebrows in a color that is 3 shades lighter than the hair roots. For blondes, on the other hand, in one that is 3 shades darker than the root zone of the hair on the head. Mascara, lipstick, felt-tip pen give a darker and more pronounced color. If you are afraid of making your eyebrows too bright, it is better to use eyeshadow. The intensity of the shade in this case will depend on the number of layers of shadows applied.

If we talk about care products, then the most effective are those in which oils are present - burdock, castor, peach, as well as vitamin E. These ingredients strengthen the hairs, act on the hair follicles, awakening and activating them.
