The condition of the eyebrows depends on the time of year, age and the correctness of eyebrow care. In summer, the bright sun not only dries out the skin, but also the eyebrows. Incorrect correction of eyebrows with tweezers, coloring with dyes with an aggressive composition also worsen their condition, slow down growth. Without proper nutrition, they become discolored, dull, sparse, shapeless. This is why it is so important to learn how to properly care for your eyebrows at home.

Types of eyebrow care
To maintain a well-groomed and neat eyebrows, their regular correction and tinting is necessary. Beautiful eyebrows should not be overly dark or stand out brightly on the face. They should be in harmony with the hair color and type of appearance. Eyebrows can be lightly tinted with an eyebrow pencil, mascara, eye shadow of a suitable shade.
Eyebrow shaping with tweezers
The classic shape of the eyebrows is ascending with a gentle curve, gradually thinning. The easiest way to achieve this look is to pluck out excess hairs with tweezers.
To make the correction procedure less painful, first arrange a steam bath or at least steam the skin of your eyebrows by applying a hot compress from a decoction of chamomile or just hot water to them.
When correcting eyebrows with tweezers, be guided by the "golden ratio" rule to get the perfect shape:
- Take a pencil and place it vertically on the wing of the nose and the bridge of the nose. Here is the starting point of the eyebrow.
- Divide the eyebrow mentally into three approximately equal parts. Measure 2 parts from the bridge of the nose - at this point there should be a break in the eyebrow. You can place a pencil against your nostril and draw a diagonal across your pupil. The second point is where the pencil crosses the eyebrow.
- You will find the third point by applying a pencil to the nostril and the outer corner of the eye. This is the end point of the eyebrow.
It is necessary to approach the change in the shape of the eyebrows by plucking with great care, since the plucked hairs become thinner and disappear over time, and the errors of eyebrow correction have to be corrected for months.
Eyebrow shaping
If nature has not endowed you with perfect eyebrows, try the thread correction method. This ancient method, invented in India, is less painful than correction with tweezers, is fast and does not require any costs. The hair removal process is performed against the direction of hair growth.
Rules for correcting eyebrows with a thread:
- The main thing is to carry out all the manipulations calmly, slowly, in good lighting.
- Take a small piece of thread and tie the ends together.
- Pull the loop over 4 fingers of the left and 4 fingers of the right hand, excluding the thumbs.
- Twist the thread with one hand so that there are 5-10 turns in the middle.
- Pull the thread with your thumbs and forefingers.
- Bring the twisted section of the thread to the excess hairs, grab them. You can capture several pieces at once.
- At the end of the procedure, treat your eyebrows with a piece of ice.
There is a chance that not everything will work out the first time, but over time, with a certain skill, you will make your eyebrows neat and in the desired shape.
Eyebrow dyeing
Coloring your eyebrows will help you achieve the perfect hair color. This should be done before correcting them with tweezers or thread. Eyebrow dyeing is recommended no more than 1 time per month.
Features of dyeing eyebrows at home
- Prepare the necessary items: paint, a brush or cotton swabs, cotton pads, oily nourishing eye cream.
- Wash your hands with soap and water. Remove eye makeup.
- Apply the nourishing cream around the eyes, avoiding the brow area.
- Thin eyebrow and eyelash tint. Remember that it gradually darkens, so take the amount of the dye strictly in accordance with the instructions, without increasing the pigment.
- Apply the color gently, moving from the tip of the eyebrow to the bridge of the nose. Do not protrude beyond the brow line.
- Dye your eyebrows alternately, not both at once.
- Soak a cotton ball in warm water and remove the paint after 5-10 minutes (depending on your preferred shade and paint).
- If the color is too saturated, then wash off the paint again using soap.
It is better to refuse dyeing eyebrows with paint during the treatment period. Chemical preparations harm the condition of the hair follicles, negatively affect the condition of the skin in the place of their growth.
Eyebrow correction with a pencil
You can correct the shape of the eyebrows by removing excess hairs and completing the missing ones. An eyebrow pencil should be of high quality, special, firm, well-sharpened, preferably from well-known companies. A soft pencil "works" faster, but the makeup will turn out to be sloppy, overly bright, rough.
A good tool for tinting eyebrows is Eyebrow Pencil from MAX FACTOR (USA). The pencil at the end is equipped with a brush that cares for the eyebrows and gives them a perfect look. The colors are black and gray. An alternative option is Maybelline Brow Satin Duo (USA). "Duet" is presented in three shades, powder and pencil in one tube.
Apply light, thin strokes with a pencil, filling in the space between the hairs of the eyebrow in the direction of growth. Try not to change their natural width while doing this. Choose the color of the pencil close to the natural color of the hair on the head. Rule: eyebrows to match the hair or slightly darker, but lighter than eyelashes. Please note that the pencil line at the place of the plucked eyebrow is not fashionable and makes the face look old.
Eyebrow styling with gel
Unruly eyebrows that grow up and down as you please can be tamed with a special styling tool. Eyebrow gel is a transparent substance with a thick consistency, odorless. If the product is of high quality, then it does not weigh down the eyebrows and is practically not felt.
In addition to the decorative function, it is usually a care product. Therefore, you can apply it on your eyebrows even at night. It is recommended to use the product before correction, for fixing makeup, for styling unruly, protruding hairs. Using the gel brush, comb up the hairs of the eyebrows, then smooth them in the direction of growth. Outwardly, the fixation is not noticeable.
Gels for fixation and care from popular cosmetic companies: The ONE gel conditioner from Oriflame, Art-Visage caring gel (Moscow), Rimmel Gel (UK), Nars Brow Gel (USA).

The color turns out to be deep, with a transition from lighter to dark, the eyebrow itself seems a little wider.
For restoration and maintenance without staining, use colorless henna. Make a gruel from henna powder and boiling water, apply it to your eyebrows. A wonderful natural remedy without side effects. Apply henna regularly and the results will be wonderful.
