Eyebrow shaping: fashion trends and expert recommendations

Eyebrows are able to favorably emphasize the image of any girl. A few years ago, this seemingly insignificant element of the face was not paid attention to, but today everything has changed. For eyebrows, they began to use special cosmetics, they are dyed and corrected. It is the eyebrows that take a significant place when creating fashionable images. For this reason, it is very important to know what kind of eyebrows will be relevant this year.

Everyone knows that fashion refers to cyclical concepts, and, as they say, everything new is well forgotten old. What was considered fashionable a few years ago can be perceived as bad form today. This applies not only to clothing, but also to hair and even eyebrows. And if you can still put up with the color of the hair coloring, the shape of the eyebrows - no, since they are the most important element that helps to shape the facial expression. But even for this seemingly insignificant detail, the fashion changes very often and abruptly.

Consider how fashion has changed.

• Since 1920, thin arc-shaped contours were considered very popular. Surely at least once you have seen photos of actresses or stills from films of those years. It was believed that it was with the help of such eyebrows that any emotion could be demonstrated, which was very important for silent films, in addition, this design made it possible to create an artistic image. Soon, this fashion spread to ordinary girls, who began to give the desired shape to their eyebrows in all possible ways, they could also completely shave them off and draw new ones. It was generally accepted that with this form the girl looks younger and becomes like a porcelain figurine with a surprised look.
• In the early 30s, lightly curved eyebrows became popular. It should be noted that they also gave a surprised look on the face.
• In the early 40s, changes took place again, and they were very sharp. The artificially plucked brows have been replaced by a natural look with a slight, natural fluffiness.

• A few decades later, wide eyebrows with slight curves came into fashion. There is an opinion that Audrey Hepburn became the founder of this fashion. In order to obtain a similar shape, the eyebrows were combed and varnished.
• The natural image of the eyebrows has retained the primacy in fashion for a long time. A special peak was reached in 1980. During this period, the girls completely abandoned plucking. Some even used a special tool to add volume to their eyebrows. Those who followed fashion were especially jealous of the ideal, by those standards, eyebrows of the famous model Brooke Shields and singer Madonna.

• The hit of the reckless 80s later became natural eyebrows with a touch of untidiness. In general, it is not for nothing that these years were called reckless, because it was during this period that bright makeup, huge hairstyles and various outfits were popular. This trend continued until the 90s, after which thinly shaped eyebrows with curved tips came into fashion again.
• Closer to 2000, another trend appeared - tattooing. Fashionistas of those years voluntarily removed all hair in the area of ​​the eyebrows and drew new ones in their place with the help of a permanent. But this trend did not last long, and closer to 2001, natural designs came into vogue again.

As for natural eyebrows, they continue to be fashionable for over ten years. However, there are representatives of the fair sex who sometimes take this trend to extremes. Some, who do not have natural eyebrows by nature, paint something on their face that resembles them, while they do not think at all about how this "beauty" is combined with graceful face shapes.

We talked about temporary changes, now we need to decide which eyebrows are popular in the current 2018. Fashion trends for women's eyebrows have always been different. Different model forms were used at different times. If earlier it was considered the ideal model of thin eyebrows, then today a new fashion has come. Today, natural eyebrows are relevant. Girls with large, neat and lush eyebrows are not only beautiful, but also stylish. This type of eyebrow can be suitable for both blondes and brunettes.

For the second year now, naturalness with slight bends has remained popular. In order to make a correction of the eyebrows, it is enough to pluck the hairs at the bottom and in the area of ​​the bridge of the nose, the upper hairs need to be removed only if there are separately growing areas. To fix the image, use a soft brush, it is carried out in the direction of hair growth.

Famous designers propose in 2018 to pay attention to the so-called virgin eyebrows, they are not corrected, but only emphasized with the help of cosmetics and the reception of smoky brows.

These are the eyebrows that contain:

• smooth lines;
• width;
• bends;
• density;
• clarity of lines;
• light color;
• a color that will be darker than natural.

Eyebrows with a natural color can be considered a daily option; a shade that will be 1-2 tones lighter or darker in relation to natural can also be used. In order to get the desired effect, you can use shadows, mascara, special paints or eyebrow gels.As for smooth lines, they can be achieved by plucking out individual areas.

Designers suggest using the podium eyebrow option in 2018, in this case, they are discolored with paint or other composition. You can even discolor your eyebrows with makeup. Of course, “in people” with such a make-up hardly anyone dares to go out, since the eyebrows practically disappear from the face, in addition, with such a design, you need to be able to make the right emphasis on the design of the eyes and lips, as well as on the perfect skin.

Now you should figure out how to make fashionable eyebrow makeup according to modern trends:

• eyebrows should be drawn immediately after the tone has been applied;
• comb the hairs with a soft brush before starting to paint;
• you only need to draw eyebrows with a special pencil and shadows;
• use a gel to set eyebrows;
• in the event that your eyebrows are thick and rather wide, you can not draw them, but leave them in the state in which they are;
• you can not overdo it when hovering with a pencil, the lines should not be too clear or dark, of course, if this is not a feature of your makeup;
• clear lines are recommended only if you are an ardent admirer of "haute couture".

As in any other year, in 2018 it is customary to take care of your eyebrows, monitor their thickness, width and, of course, growth. Make-up pays special attention to eyebrows, as, according to experts, a well-groomed eyebrow can give the face beauty and elegance.

Consider how you can shape your eyebrows today.

• With the help of tattooing. Of course, this choice has its positive and negative qualities. For example, after the first tattoo, it will be very difficult to change the design, in addition, after a while the tattoo loses its brightness, and restoration will cost a lot of money. However, it is this procedure that is preferred more and more often, because the shade remains for a long time, it cannot be washed off with water, which means that makeup will take less time.

• Using a permanent or semi-permanent. This technique is ideal for those with damaged skin areas. The design consists in applying a special paint that does not wear off for a month. The advantage of this design is that it can be used on scars and scars, which cannot be done with tattooing.
• Henna decoration. The principle of operation is the same as that of a permanent. The main advantage of using henna is that the material is natural. With its help, you can give your eyebrows a natural reddish tint, of course, if you have not chosen black.

Especially lucky this year, the owners of eyebrows with thick and natural shapes. For a perfect make-up, all they need to do is brush their hairs to give them the right direction. If you follow fashion, then it is recommended to comb the eyebrows slightly upwards.

The types of design should be considered in more detail, as this will help determine what can be done this season and what is undesirable.

However, depending on what look you want in 2018, you can use some modern tattooing techniques.

1. Feathering or shooting. These techniques are used in the event that it is necessary to eliminate the imperfections after the previous tattoo, as well as in order to emphasize the shape and color, if they have become faded and inexpressive.
2. Wax method. It is very popular due to the fact that the end result is very similar to natural eyebrows. With the help of a special coloring composition, the specialist applies paint under the natural eyebrows, thanks to which each hairline is repeated. The price of such a procedure is high, since it requires special equipment, and the person performing it must have a high level of professionalism.
3. A method that combines the two described above is 3D tattooing. It can be attributed to the most popular procedures, but the master who performs the procedure must be a professional with a capital letter. In order to achieve the desired result, the eyebrows are dyed a light color, and the depth is covered with a dark one.

As for henna, there are separate recommendations for use.

1. Its use, in contrast to the semi-permanent, which is hypoallergenic, needs testing for the manifestation of allergic reactions. To do this, it will need to be applied to the skin and left for a day before the full staining procedure. If the skin is not inflamed, then there is no reaction. The most sensitive part of the body can be called the skin behind the ear, it is there that it is best to apply henna.
2. We draw your attention to the fact that henna is a material that is highly stained, therefore, before using it, all surfaces must be protected. Otherwise, not only your eyebrows will become artistic, but also the room in which the procedure was carried out.
3. It is not recommended to apply the material to damaged areas.
4. You can only use the mixture that has just been prepared.

If you have a desire to make your eyebrows beautiful and neat, we recommend using the advice of professional eyebrowers.

• If you are going to pluck your eyebrows with tweezers, but you know that your skin is overly sensitive to such a procedure, soften it. This can be done with the help of special means, and if there are none, use ordinary steam. In addition, select only soft tweezers for plucking, which will easily grip the desired hairs and will not be able to damage the skin.
• Very often, girls try to shape their eyebrows according to the popular pattern they like, but they do not know how to do it at home. In the event that your face is inclined to create curves, remember that the highest point will be the outer corner of the eye, and the length should be limited by a line that will be drawn through the wing of the nose and the end of the eye.
• Check out threading your eyebrows. This procedure is more complicated and requires experience. Most likely, you won't be able to do everything right the first time. It will not work to do such a procedure in a hurry, therefore, if you need a quick effect, it is better to refuse thread use. Despite the length of the process, the result of such a procedure is less painful and more beautiful.

• If you decide to color your eyebrows on your own, experts recommend that you first set the shape with the help of shadows. Do not rush to dwell on one option, select and adjust the shape. In this case, you cannot rush, most likely, you will have to spend at least a month to obtain the proper result.
• In order for the dye on the eyebrows to stay for a long time, try to avoid this area when washing. Basically, the paint does not react to water, but when using tonics, the duration of the action is significantly reduced.
• If you are new to eyebrow shaping, experts recommend that both when plucking and coloring, mark a thin outline with an eyebrow pencil.It will not be difficult to erase it later, and you will be calm about your shape.

It will be expressed by obvious changes in the image for the better.

1. The eyes will become expressive. With a clear outline and the right eyebrow color, you will attract attention and your eyes will become irresistible.
2. Due to the uniform length of the eyebrows, you will be able to hide the asymmetry of the eyes and wings of the nose.
3. If there are large features on the face, they will become less noticeable.

There is another important question that experienced eyebrows are often asked - where is the best way to shape eyebrows, at home, or go to a salon.

Of course, there are a number of advantages when decorating at home. For example, you do not need to spend time traveling, everything can be carried out in familiar conditions and at the same time the tool that you will use will be familiar to you. In addition, you can be sure that the instrumentation is completely sterile. No less important is the confidence that the dye you have chosen for the eyebrows will be of high quality, because there is no point in saving money in this matter.

Carrying out such a procedure at home, you can gain precious experience that you will get for free, and this is another plus. Of course, you will have to pay a considerable amount for the materials, but everything that you have acquired can be used by you in the future several more times. And you should also take into account the fact that you do not have to pay for the services of a master, because the work will be carried out independently.

As for contacting the salon, this must be done if the registration will be carried out for the first time. The specialist will recommend the best form, set it, and in the future you will be able to independently orient yourself to it and correct it.

So, as already mentioned, naturalness is in fashion, but this does not apply to thick eyebrows that are tinted with cheap mascara. It will look vulgar and ugly. But if naturalness is fashionable, it must be properly organized. Indeed, many under the concept of naturalness perceive a complete lack of self-care. And this is contrary to modern trends.
