Beautiful eyebrows: types and subtleties of design
You can give your face more expressiveness with the help of eyebrows. Thanks to them, you can not only draw attention to the face, but also change its expression, slightly correct the existing shortcomings. There is a certain category of people who use the services of an eyebrow shaper, but the majority of lovely ladies prefer to shape their eyebrows at home in a relaxed atmosphere.
Peculiarities
It is worth saying that eyebrows continue to play a decisive role in creating an image. The shape of the eyebrows and their thickness are constantly changing, therefore, following the influence of fashion, the girls either pluck them, making them thin, like strings, then grow them, giving them the most natural shape.
Nowadays, natural eyebrows are considered more fashionable. But this does not mean at all that they do not need to be corrected and thinned out. Pluck them out both at the bottom and at the top. This is done especially carefully in the upper part - here they remove interfering hairs, trying not to change the shape of the eyebrows.
To have beautiful eyebrows, you need to properly care for them - they must be plucked out regularly with special tweezers, tinted with a cosmetic pencil or shadows, if necessary, with a special eyebrow dye or permanent makeup.
If left untreated, your eyebrows can look messy and immediately noticeable, just like dirty shoes or unwashed hair.Even if the hairs do not require correction, they need to be combed and smoothed.
Type of
Before adjusting or applying makeup, you need to find out what types of eyebrows exist. A beautiful eyebrow should have the correct shape. It can be roughly divided into three parts:
- the head that starts at the bridge of the nose;
- the body, which is located in the middle part;
- the tail, which is the narrowest part and is located at the temple.
To determine the shape of the eyebrows, take a regular ruler or pencil and apply it to the eyebrow, connecting the head with the tail using a straight line. In this case, the connection line can be straight, raised up or down.
In a straight form, the head with the tail is located at the same level. This type is more suitable for owners of an elongated face shape, since thanks to this shape, you can visually make a narrow forehead wider and balance it with the size of the chin.
When raised, the head will be slightly higher than the ponytail. This type of eyebrow may not suit everyone, as lifting it too high can make it look quite theatrical.
When the shape is lowered, its base will be located lower than the tip. This form is considered quite specific, because many begin to look a little sad with this type of eyebrow. In addition, they can often add a few extra years.
You can choose another option to determine the curvature of the eyebrows.
- A cosmetic pencil is applied to the nostril and the inner corner of the eye. This line will indicate where the brow should begin. If there are growing hairs beyond the pencil, then they are removed.
- To determine the end point, the lower part of the pencil is left at the bridge of the nose, and the upper part is moved, moving towards the outer corner of the eye. Their intersection will be the place where the eyebrow is pumped. Sometimes it can end without reaching the desired point, then it is completed with a pencil.
- To find out where the bend should be, the pencil should be moved - it should be on the line from the nostril to the center of the pupil. The intersection of the pencil and eyebrow is where the bend occurs.
The shape of the eyebrows greatly affects the appearance of a woman: their different shape can transform the face and show it in the most favorable light, or, conversely, make it look like a doll, sad, or visually add a few years to a person.
It is rare to see natural and perfect eyebrows - they may not always be symmetrical and even. Just like our face, most often they are not symmetrical. It is important to make the eyebrows as similar as possible so that they look the same. They can have different shapes and be:
- arcuate;
- semicircular;
- short or long;
- narrow or wide.
Eyebrows can be straight, straight, horizontal or round.
Direct
Those who prefer a straight eyebrow shape need to understand that they:
- visually narrow the eyes;
- the face will be maximally expanded, which will create the appearance of a perfectly oval face;
- if they are located close to the eyes, then the image will seem natural;
- will draw special attention to the appearance;
- if they are overgrown and thick, they will give the look of severity and add a few extra years to their owner.
The straight shape of the eyebrows is not suitable for all girls. They should not be plucked by the owners:
- small eyes;
- wide and short face;
- if the eyes are of an unexpressed color;
- with rough or large facial features.
In some countries, it is considered natural to have eyebrows that have grown together on the bridge of the nose. Modern stylists recommend thinning them out and plucking out excess hairs, otherwise the fused straight strip will look strange and unkempt.
Arcuate
The arched type of eyebrows is considered the most versatile, as it can suit ladies with different face shapes. This option is considered classic.The advantage of this type of eyebrow is that there is a lot of space between the eye and the eyebrow, so the upper eyelid is used for applying makeup.
Their advantages:
- able to soften the expression of severity on the face;
- hide sharp features;
- it is beneficial to emphasize the contours of the face;
- emphasize the eyes and make the look more open, expressive.
Arched eyebrows are ideal for women of the oriental type - they hide the excessive sharpness of the face, give it roundness and balance its sharp features.
Although this option can be called universal, stylists recommend not choosing it:
- those who are over 40 years old;
- owners of a round face, otherwise it may look like a ball;
- girls with wide eyes.
Physiognomists believe that people with arched eyebrows will be able to achieve a lot in life and have a good character.
Kink type
This type is now considered very popular, because it is not for nothing that many domestic and foreign celebrities have chosen it. The advantage of this option is that the eyebrows can be raised in the middle - in this case, they will look like a "house" - or they can be lifted closer to the temples. Physiognomists believe that this type is preferred:
- people with a domineering character;
- those who know how to keep everything under their strict control;
- people with leadership abilities, ready to carry them along;
- with a firm and decisive character.
Broken eyebrows will add femininity and expressiveness to the face. Thanks to this form, you can:
- rejuvenate your face;
- visually enlarge the shape of the eyes;
- soften angular facial features;
- draw special attention to the oval of the face above the nose;
- visually raise your eyes;
- to give symmetry and visually reduce the proportions of the face in a diamond-shaped, round or oval shape.

This option should be avoided:
- girls with big eyes;
- those who have problems in the nose or forehead in the form of acne, dark circles and puffiness under the eyes.
With a successful break, the eyebrows look the most advantageous. You should not especially get carried away and make the kink very sharp, otherwise the face will look unnatural or funny.
Curved
Physiognomists believe that people with curved eyebrows have the ability to conduct business and conduct financial transactions. They are easy-going, energetic, at the same time quite self-confident and prudent.
The main advantage of curved brows is that they:
- look beautiful and extraordinary;
- able to make the face mysterious;
- visually help to make the cheekbones narrower and divert attention from the large nose;

How to determine the shape?
The shape of the eyebrows is different, and although it is given from birth, it can still be changed and corrected if desired, since it may not always suit a certain type of face.
Of course, it will not be possible to completely redo the shape of the eyebrows, for example, from a curved shape it will not turn out to be a straight line. It is important to evaluate the shape of the eyebrows initially, in order to then correct it.
To decide on the right option, it is worth considering what shape the face has.For each of its types, there is a certain option, which it is customary to adhere to. For a round face, eyebrows of a certain shape are more suitable, and for a triangular face, a completely different one.
If you want to experiment, you can offer a rather unusual option: you need to apply a foundation on the eyebrows, which will completely hide them. Armed with a cosmetic pencil, you need to draw the shape of the eyebrows until the most successful option is found. Of course, after each attempt, you will have to completely wash off the makeup and apply it again, but after such an experiment, you can be completely sure that the correct shape has been found.
If these experiments are not to your liking, then you can choose an option that takes into account the shape of the face. In order to find out, you need to comb your hair back and remove the bangs.
Oval face
Any type of eyebrow will work for an oval face - oval-shaped faces are ideal. You just need to decide on the place where the beginning of the eyebrow arches will be, their end and maximum height. You also need to decide on the width of the eyebrows. As for the width, you can only give general recommendations and adhere to the option in which the image will be more open.
Often, oval faces can be elongated and appear coarse. To mitigate this disadvantage, it is necessary to reduce bending. If the lower part of the face looks weighted, then lengthen the ends of the eyebrows.
Round faces
For girls with a round face, it is important to visually make the face elongated, so it is better to opt for a curved shape. It is not recommended to make round eyebrows, as the face will look even rounder. Visually, you can make the face less flat by choosing the option of ascending lines.
When plucking hairs on the bottom, you need to be careful not to raise your eyebrows too high. Often girls do this in an effort to get a more open gaze - sometimes excessive zeal can lead to the fact that the face looks surprised.
Heart and triangle shape
To make such a face look more proportional, it is necessary to visually narrow its upper part, while the eyebrows should not be long and protrude beyond the temple. For girls with chubby cheeks, the option of a round or curved shape is suitable.
It is worth giving preference to soft lines - facial features in this case will seem less rough. For a triangular face, a shape without bending will be preferable, due to which it will look visually shorter.
Face in the shape of a square and a rectangle
Such faces often look heavy, so it is important to smooth out such a moment and make the face more sophisticated and feminine. For this type, lines without any sharp kinks or bends will be preferred.
Girls with a square or rectangular face should not tint their eyebrows with bright colors, using eye shadow, pencil or mascara. It is worth slightly shading the eyebrows with a cosmetic pencil, which is more suitable in color to the tone of the hair, or choose an even lighter tone.
For a square face, it is better to choose an arched eyebrow. If initially their shape is very clear, then it should be smoothed out by removing the protruding corners with tweezers.
Rhombus
With a diamond-shaped face, it is important to narrow its central part - the lines should be soft, smooth. For this type, the best option would be classic eyebrows - no need to make clear lines or harsh shades.
It is important here that the length of the eyebrows is not short. If the length is not enough, then it is painted on in such a way that the tip is brought out to the temple.
Required tools
To make your eyebrows look beautiful and well-groomed, you need to take care of special devices.
Pencil
First of all, you need to get a pencil that will match your hair tone. The tone of the pencil should match the color of the eyebrows, or be a tone or two lighter.
Do not choose very dark shades, otherwise the eyebrows will look vulgar.
The pencil should be applied with light strokes, you do not need to make a straight line - this may look unnatural. After applying a cosmetic pencil, the eyebrows are combed with a special brush. This device will come in handy in any case, even if no correction is made. Hair brushed with a brush looks more well-groomed.
It is worth listening to the advice of the masters who recommend using such a brush with an already empty tube in order to store the oils used in the care of eyelashes and eyebrows there. These brushes are very handy for blending makeup and applying oil blends.
Instead of brushes, you can take a mini-comb - with its help eyelashes and eyebrows are styled. They are convenient in that they perfectly comb and style the eyebrows, as well as give them direction.
To give the eyebrows the correct shape, use special tools. Correction is carried out with scissors, tweezers or a trimmer.
Forceps and tweezers
These tools are sure to be found in every girl's makeup bag. It is best that the tweezers and tweezers are made of stainless steel or durable plastic. Naturally, stainless steel instruments will be more durable and easier to disinfect.
The shape of the tweezers can be different: with pointed or straight edges, as well as beveled or in the form of a needle.
The tool is chosen taking into account the density and structure of the hairs.
- Straight tweezers or angled tweezers are best for correcting thick and coarse hairs that are difficult to remove.
- For bushy eyebrows that need to be thinned, choose a sharpened tool. It is easy for them to capture single hairs or remove regrown hairs.
- Needle tweezers are chosen for trimming hair along the edges.
When buying tools for correction, you need to pick them up and determine how convenient it will be to work with them. For tweezers and tweezers to last for a long time, you should purchase them in specialized stores. Such a product will be convenient and reliable.
The durability of instruments also depends on how carefully they are looked after. It is necessary to sharpen them regularly. Keep the devices in a special case or in a case with a special tip. After using the instruments, they should be wiped with a disinfectant.
Scissors
When natural eyebrows came into vogue, which did not require constant plucking, scissors became more in demand. They are used to remove hair at the base. For correction, you can choose the usual version of sharp-edged nail scissors or purchase a professional tool.
Just like tweezers, scissors need care and storage. You need to sharpen the tool once every 6 months.
Epilator
Most people use an epilator to remove unwanted body hair. Such a device was also invented for the correction of the shape of the eyebrows. Using this small device, you can quickly and painlessly get rid of excess hairs, including invisible ones.
When buying an epilator, it is advisable to find out some of its parameters.
- The number of revolutions provided in the device, because the duration of the procedure depends on this.
- Number of speeds. Most often, inexpensive options provide one speed. With 2 or 3 speeds, the skin will gradually get used to the operation of the device.
- Professionals recommend opting for a device that runs on batteries - in this case, you will not need to run in search of an outlet.
- In more expensive options, additional functions are often provided in the form of pain relief, backlighting, as well as peeling and massage.
With one or more of the described tools in your arsenal, you don't have to worry about the beauty and flawless shape of your eyebrows.
How to do it?
For eyebrow shaping, you can visit a salon where an experienced master will quickly and confidently carry out such a procedure.But in order not to waste precious time and money, you can carry out the procedure at home.
With certain skills, it is not difficult to make a correction for yourself. The procedure can be roughly divided into three stages:
- preparatory;
- basic;
- finishing.
To make the procedure less painful, the first stage is best done in the salon, where the master will tell you how to pull the hairs correctly, or watch a video review on the Internet. It is better to do the procedure step by step, following the recommendations of professionals. For some, a drawn diagram is more convenient - it can be drawn both on paper and drawn with a pencil on the face.
In the event that it is difficult to independently make the shape of the eyebrows correct and remove the necessary hairs, then you should contact a professional, otherwise there is a possibility that the eyebrows may either remain unkempt or too plucked.
This advice applies to those who are doing the correction for the first time, and girls who want to change the image and choose the right type of eyebrows. After consulting with the master, it will become much easier to do the procedure yourself.
DIY correction
During the initial treatment, it is worth wiping the treated area with a piece of ice. After that, the instruments are treated with an alcohol solution.
To make the procedure less painful, you can carry it out using small secrets. Before the procedure, you need:
- make a steam bath 10 minutes before its start;
- moisten cotton pads in hot water or chamomile infusion and put them on your eyebrows.
To give a beautiful shape to the eyebrows, they should be grabbed with tweezers at the very root and plucked out one hair at a time. It is important to grab it correctly and pull it sharply in order to remove, and not break it, otherwise regrown hairs will be visible.
When doing the procedure yourself, it is important not to get carried away and not to remove the desired hairline. If this happens, then draw the hairs with a pencil. It is important that the shade of the pencil is not too dark and matches the color of the eyebrows.
If your skin is oily, the tweezers can slip off and break hairs. To solve this problem, you need to powder the eyebrows - this will remove the excess oiliness, and the tweezers will well grip the hair.
In the event that the hair is difficult to remove, it can be cut using nail scissors with sharp ends. Brows should be brushed before the procedure.
To make the shape and size of the eyebrows the same, use a special ruler or stencil. Thanks to such a simple device, you can make symmetrical eyebrows.
A silicone stencil is considered very convenient, which, when wet, adheres well to the face. Although expensive, it can be used for a very long time, while the cheaper options are disposable.
Use a transparent ruler to draw the lines you want. By attaching the ruler to the bridge of the nose, you can quickly draw straight, symmetrical eyebrows.
After the procedure, the inflamed skin areas are wiped with alcohol lotion and softened with a cream. In areas where hairs were plucked, the skin may become inflamed, but this redness will go away within an hour. Therefore, those who are planning to go out should do this procedure in advance so as not to go around with swollen eyelids.
The procedure should be carried out in a well-lit place so as not to leave uncovered areas. To do this, you should take a small mirror with a magnifying glass and sit next to the window, since correction is more difficult with electric lighting.
Tattoo
Many ladies prefer permanent make-up and carry out tattooing in the salon. You can often hear conflicting reviews about whether to get an eyebrow tattoo.
