Many women prefer to adjust and to emphasize the shape of the brow arch with pencils. One of the most popular, reliable and at the same time available brands is the Stellari company, a description of the products of which will be presented later in the article.
Who makes Stellari eyebrow pencils?
This product is manufactured by the Swiss company Stellari Cosmetics AG. Cosmetics of this company in Russia in a wide range are presented in the "Magnit" trade network.
Stellari's products are distinguished by their high quality, ease of use and uncommon design. According to customer reviews, the quality of Stellari makeup is not inferior to expensive brands, but it costs much less, which makes it affordable for the population.
Quality characteristics of Stellary automatic pencils
Stellari is an eyebrow pencil that helps girls and women to easily transform their appearance thanks to the automatic applicator. The product belongs to the professional category and allows you to model any shape of eyebrows.
The pencil has a wedge-shaped slate, which makes it convenient for them to draw both a wide and a thin line. The composition contains waxes that allow you to keep the makeup lasting for as long as possible. The pencil is presented in 4 shades, which allows each girl to choose the right tone without any special difficulties.
Mechanical pencils do not need to be sharpened, so you can have a quick freshening tool anywhere you go.
Dimensions
Unlike ordinary pencils that require sharpening, the Stellari brand product is quite dense and weighty. When working with it, it takes some time to get used to the grip, but this does not cause any particular difficulties and the girls manage to quickly adapt to drawing strokes.
Pencil device
Stellari is an eyebrow pencil that comes in a vacuum package. This is a guarantee that the product has not been opened by anyone and that dust and dirt will not get on the lead and brush.
The pencil consists of a brush for combing eyebrows and a slate part. They are closed with caps. An automatic mechanism built into the pencil allows the lead to be freely extended and hidden inside the outer shaft. The mechanism does not jam and protects the lead from drying out. The pencil itself looks very stylish and is made in black and gold shades.
Coloring composition
The pencil lead is quite long, has a wedge-shaped (triangular) shape at the end, which allows you to draw both thin and wider lines.
The composition of the coloring lead contains natural and synthetic components:
- mineral wax (increases the elasticity of the hairs);
- carnauba wax (provides durability);
- mineral oils (nourish the skin and hair follicles);
- hard paraffins;
- castor oil (skin care);
- propylparaben;
- methylparaben;
- dyes.
Texture, smell
The texture of the Stellari pencil can be described as quite hard and dry. For this reason, when shaping the eyebrows, it should be well pressed.Girls who work with a pencil for the first time may not be able to draw eyebrows right away. However, with practice, most women manage to achieve the desired result.
The pencil has no smell as such, its aroma can be described as neutral.
Color fastness, water resistance, weather resistance
The manufacturers claim that the eyebrow makeup done with the automatic Stellari pencil will stay great all day long.
In various reviews, girls indicate that the durability of a pencil is from 6 hours to 10 hours.
It is difficult to objectively assess the durability of a pencil, since it will depend on:
- skin type - on oily skin, the pencil can spread faster;
- weather conditions - in the heat, the durability of any decorative cosmetics decreases;
- contact impact (habits of touching eyebrows, from friction of the cap in winter);
- application quality;
- applied additional fixing agents (gels).
In contact with water, the lines drawn with a Stellari pencil will not lose their shape in the absence of additional mechanical action (friction, smoothing).
Harmful properties
When shaping eyebrows, the pencil stains only small areas of the skin, unlike other decorative cosmetics (tonal means, shadows, blush), which minimizes the risks of allergic irritations. However, some women may experience such reactions (rare).
When using the automatic Stellari pencil, if you have a tendency to allergies and poor tolerance of decorative cosmetics, the product should be pre-tested by applying small stripes with a pencil on the inside of the elbow.
If we consider a pencil as a tool, then by itself it can be traumatic if handled carelessly (this applies to pencils of any company).
Also, a feature of mechanical pencils is the inability to sharpen the lead, therefore, with frequent use, it can become very dull and hair and skin accumulate on it. This can lead to infection, so you should use the pencil carefully, observing all hygiene procedures.
Color spectrum
Stellari pencil has 4 natural tones that will help you make the most natural eyebrow makeup.
| 100 (ash brown tone) | Ideal for girls with light blond hair, as well as blondes, including those whose hair is dyed in cold tones. This shade is also suitable for owners of red hair. |
| 200 (dark brown) | As a rule, this tone is chosen by both natural and dyed brunettes, whose natural eyebrow color is also dark (black). |
| 300 (brown chocolate) | This eyebrow pencil tone is chosen by the owners of dark and medium blonde hair, as well as brunettes whose hair has coffee shades. |
| 400 (gray-black) | This shade of pencil will perfectly complement the brown-haired makeup. |
In addition to the above parameters, when choosing a shade of a pencil, one should take into account: whether the hair is colored or not, how the image looks as a whole.
Sometimes girls with brown eyes can dye their hair in light colors. Even if the eyes are very dark and the eyebrows are naturally black, it is better to use the tone 300 (brown-chocolate) or 400 (gray-black). These shades will help smooth out the contrast between hair color and eye shade without looking vulgar.
Also, girls with light eyebrows and eyes and dyed in burning brunettes should not use 200 (dark brown) brows, as this will look too aggressive and inappropriate.
In this case, a tone of 100 (ash brown) or 300 (brown chocolate) is suitable. If you have difficulty choosing a tone, you can always contact a consultant who will help you decide.
How to use an eyebrow pencil? Step-by-step instruction
The selection of the right shade of eyebrow pencil is of course very important, but it is equally important to learn how to use it correctly so that the face looks expressive and the makeup looks flawless in general.
- Eyebrow makeup should be done after cleansing the face. It is recommended to use a special cleanser and micellar water according to your skin type. This treatment will help cleanse the skin, remove dead skin cells and oil from it, which will help make-up look fresh for longer.
- Then they start working with the eyebrows. Each eyebrow is combed upward with the brush provided on the Stellari automatic pencil.
- On the lower border of the eyebrows, draw a line with a pencil with the thin side of the lead. In order for the lines on both eyebrows to look even, it is better to do this in parallel.
- Next, with a brush, the hairs are gently combed, directing them down, and draw a thin upper border of the eyebrows.
- Now you can fill in the gaps between the hairs with light strokes and blend them using the eyebrow brush. This should be done carefully so that the strokes do not smear and do not go beyond the outlined boundaries. Border lines can also be lightly shaded with a flat eyeshadow brush if they look too sharp. As a result, tinted eyebrows should look natural.
- A little highlighter or corrector is applied to the area under the eyebrows in the form of an arc that follows the curve of the eyebrow.
- The result is fixed with an eyebrow gel, which will also give them extra shine.
Stellari is an eyebrow pencil that is very convenient to use.
However, there are several common mistakes women make when doing makeup on their own:
- Draw lines that are too clear. When filling in the gaps between the hairs, apply short, light and intermittent strokes smoothly so that they look natural before you blend them. You should not draw one solid thick line repeating the curve of the eyebrow.
- Too little shading of the eyebrow contour line. Lines drawn from the bottom and top of the eyebrows should be shaded more carefully than, for example, a contour line drawn around the lips. To achieve the best effect, you should use the eyebrow brush that comes with the Stellari automatic pencil, or a cotton swab if someone finds it more convenient.
- The wrong pencil tone can age the face. A universal rule that can be followed when choosing a pencil shade is that eyebrows should be 1-2 tones darker than the natural tone of the hair.
- A limited set of products when applying makeup. To shape the eyebrows beautifully, one pencil is not enough. Sometimes the hairs on the eyebrows can be overly naughty, so in this case, in addition to the eyebrow pencil, you should use a fixing gel. If the eyebrows are very sparse, it is recommended to additionally use a special powder, which will help to visually increase their density.
How to remove makeup?
Removing make-up from the face in the evening is an obligatory ritual that will help keep the skin fresh and youthful for a long time. This should be done with a special tool, selected for the type of skin. It can be milk, makeup remover, micellar water.
To cleanse the dyed eyebrow, a little of the selected product is applied to a cotton pad (sponge) and carried along the hairline.
You can't rub your eyebrows hard, as a really good tool should do its job without additional effort. Under strong mechanical stress, when the movements are chaotic, the hairs can become brittle and begin to grow in different directions.
When removing makeup, cosmetologists advise to follow a certain sequence - first remove cosmetics from lips, then mascara from eyelashes, then cleanse eyebrows, then eyelids, and last of all, the skin of the face.After removing all cosmetics, you should wash with your usual means.
To make your eyebrows look better, you can periodically apply care products on them - special cosmetic oils that enhance the growth of hairs and strengthen them.
