To understand how to apply this product correctly, it's worth learning the simple, few-step makeup process.
How to use eyebrow powder: preparation and application steps
Before moving directly to makeup, you should prepare the eyebrow arches for coloring. The whole process includes several stages. Necessary:
- Comb them.
- Remove excess hairs using tweezers.
- Place them in the desired direction and comb them again with a special brush.
- Create an outline. A sharpened pencil or a thin eyeliner marker is best suited for this.The headband should be drawn with light strokes, imitating hairs. If you don't have a pencil on hand, powder will do. It is applied with an angled damp brush. The borders should be thin, but clearly visible.
- Fill the inside of the outline. Using a dry brush and product, you need to shade the gaps, forming a solid, filled area. If you apply the product in strokes, you will get the impression that the eyebrows look thicker and more voluminous.
- The final stage will be fixation. Powder is not a very long-lasting product. Therefore, to prevent it from falling off, it should be secured. After the lines are drawn, you need to apply a few drops of gel or wax to the hairs. The fixative should be applied in a thin, neat layer and smoothly spread along the hair growth.
If you choose quality products and apply them correctly, the product will last for 12–14 hours.
What is eyebrow powder and why is it needed?
This product of the cosmetic industry is an ordinary compact powder with the addition of fixing agents. In addition, it contains coloring pigments, vitamins and mineral oils.
Based on consistency, there are three types of product. This is a dry powder of a matte color, coloring creamy shadows or a product in the form of a pencil that can be used to tint your hair.
Due to the fact that naturalness has become the main trend in makeup in recent years, the powder should be easy to apply and look as natural as possible. The product is selected depending on the color of the hair and eyes.
The extensive palette is represented by many shades from the lightest gray to deep chocolate. Makeup artists advise blondes to dye their eyebrows a tone or two darker than their natural hair color.For brunettes and brown-haired women, apply 2-3 layers lighter. At the same time, you should not stray from the natural palette. That is, if the hair is dark brown, then the eyebrows should be brown, not graphite.
For ease of transportation, some manufacturers have assembled sets. They contain powder, pencil and wax. These three products help you create flawless makeup.
If nature has blessed you with thick sable eyebrows, then using eye shadow is not recommended. They will create an unnecessary layered effect, and the result will look ridiculous and vulgar.
Features of choosing the color of eyebrow powder
When looking for your shade, you should focus on your hair. For blondes, a color one to three shades darker than natural is suitable. Brunettes, on the contrary, should use tones two or three lighter than their natural hair color. However, these recommendations are considered basic. Therefore, there are many subtleties that you should focus on:
- The shade of the powder should be harmoniously combined with the color of the skin and eyes. For girls with warm skin tones (pink, bronze, peach), you need to choose the same colors. Fair-skinned beauties with a cool color type should have eyebrows with gray or graphite pigment.
- If the natural color does not stand out, then you should not paint it in more saturated colors. It will look unnatural.
- For fair-skinned, green-eyed and blue-eyed women, it is recommended to apply beige, walnut, caramel and ash brown tones.
- For blondes and light brown ladies, the optimal solution would be beige-gray and wheat colors.
- Brown hair will allow its owners to dye their eyebrows using numerous shades of a wide spectrum: from brown to dark chocolate.
- Brown, copper, terracotta, red-brown and carrot dyes are suitable for brown-haired and red-haired people.
- Brunettes need to take a closer look at dark brown and chocolate shades. They will make your appearance even more expressive and attractive.
- Black eyebrows will look harmonious only in one case - if the girl has blue-black hair and dark eyes. In all others, such a rich pigment will look unnatural and stupid.
- Extravagant fashionistas with unusual hair colors are recommended to dye their eyebrows in the same unusual color. So, for curls with a blue tint, eggplant eyebrows would be an ideal option.
- The popular raspberry tone harmonizes with chestnut color and its shades.
- For extreme women with yellow or green hair, beige or light brown eyebrows with a golden tint are suitable.
If the tone turns out to be too light, then you can darken it by wet application. To do this, dip the brush in warm water or fixing gel, and then in the shade.
Correctly executed eyebrow makeup favorably emphasizes the expressiveness of the face. With the help of powder you can correct even sparsely growing fine hairs. A harmoniously chosen shade of the coating will help create a mysterious, bewitching and unforgettable look.
