Anyone can paint eyebrows without special skills at home. You don't have to be a master or a specialist in this area to do this. There are many ways to accomplish this procedure. Each of which has pros and cons.

Preparation of eyebrows before coloring

To prepare your eyebrows for coloring, you need:

1. Choose the right shape for your face type.

• For an oval face, a classic or arched shape with a slight break is suitable. At the same time, it is not recommended to make a sharp bend, this will make the face more elongated than it really is.
• For a round type, a shape with a slight break, externally lengthening the face, is suitable. A too rounded shape is not needed here, it will further emphasize the roundness of the face.
• For the square type, the main thing is to remove the sharpness and angularity, this will help soften the facial features. Straight, long, arched brows are ideal. This will hide wide cheekbones and visually make the face softer and rounder.
• For a triangular face, arched, ascending eyebrows are suitable, they soften the sharpness of the cheekbones, and make the chin smoother. If the face is elongated, the arch should be higher. Eyebrows that are too rounded or wide will not work.

2. Before starting the staining procedure, you need to determine the future shape.
To do this, take a long pencil and mark the borders of the eyebrow. To determine the inner border, the pencil must be applied to the edge of the nose, pointing towards the inner corner of the eye. This is the beginning of the border.

To determine the highest point of the bend, draw a line from the nose up the outer edge of the eye, past the pupil. Moreover, the closer the eyes are to each other, the further the eyebrows should be, and vice versa. It is important to carefully work out the width of the eyebrow. The eyebrows should not be too wide. The optimal width is 1/2 the size of the iris or 1/3 if the eyes are small.

3. Remove excess hairs. You can get rid of excess hairs with tweezers, thread, or use methods such as shugaring or wax. To use the latter methods, you need to know the technique and be able to use it correctly.

4. Apply a greasy cream to the skin near the eyebrows, avoiding contact with the hairs. Select the desired color and staining method.

5. Carry out the procedure itself.
