Waterproof Eyebrow Pencil

It is very important to choose the right makeup - it should be resistant, and for some situations and waterproof. This is particularly true for the eyes - after all, it is very important that, at sea or in the pool, makeup is tragically not a “stack” from the face.

Eyebrow pencil in almost every woman's makeup bag. Correctly decorated eyebrows allow a person to play with completely different colors, will help to make a look, complete the image This is truly a universal thing. Perfectly chosen, he will accompany you in everyday life and at a festive event. It is very important that he endure the whole day and not disappear from his face due to the awkward movement of his hand or was not washed away by an unexpected rain. That is why it is very important to buy exactly waterproof products.

Silicone in the composition provides this water resistance, thanks to which the pigment adheres tightly to the skin and hairs. Wash away such a pencil more difficult than usual - you need to use micellar water or hydrophilic oil marked "for waterproof means."

Pencils are divided, of course, by color, as well as by type - into mechanical and ordinary.

Mechanical do not require sharpening. The stylus extends to the desired distance. The tip of these is not sharp enough, but nevertheless it is possible to draw clear lines diagonally, with a corner of a pencil (unless it has a rounded shape).

Ordinary pencils are sharpened, which allows you to make the stylus sharp enough to draw the tip and fill the eyebrow. Among the shortcomings, it is possible to single out the fact that such a pencil breaks easily, and with strong pressure it can leave dirty marks on the eyebrows or pieces of the product.

The pencil can also be matte - it is an ideal option for everyday makeup, as well as with a light shimmer or reflective particles. They may also differ in texture.

• Powdery pencils with a soft core. They are extremely persistent, pigmented and not smeared, most often found in ashy tones without red. Ideal for summer or for owners of oily skin. The effect of the pencil is natural and soft, the coating is similar to eyebrow shadows.
• Wax Ideal for owners of naughty and protruding hairs. Sufficiently resistant because of the composition of beeswax and vitamin E. Often they do not have a shade and are sold in colorless sticks and replace the eyebrow gel. Visually make them thicker and give volume, add stamina.

First of all, when choosing a tool for eyebrows, you need to consider color. Correctly selected shade of eyebrow pencil will help to highlight the eyes, give expressive look and shade hair.

1. Color pencil for brunettes should be one or two tones lighter hair color. Gray-brown or dark brown shades will do; it is better to replace pure black with graphite gray. If your color type is warm - autumn or spring, your hair has a reddish, red or yellow undertone, then you should pay attention to warm shades - reddish brown, chestnut. If the cold - summer or winter, then give up the shades of red and think of ashen, greyish and neutral and dark brown. Black desaturated suit only dark-haired brunettes with an eastern appearance.
2. Color pencil for blondes on the contrary, it should be one or two tones darker than the hair color. In no case do not take the black shades.Ashy summer color blondes are ideal for ash-brown pencils, but by no means giving away a redhead. You can pay attention to medium brown unsaturated tones. In the case of ombre - dark roots and lighter length, the color of the pencil is matched to the color of the roots. For wheat curls fit beige and beige-gray tones.
3. For red, blond and light are perfect, as well as neutral and medium brown shades, chestnut. If your shade is closer to red - you can carefully look at the ash-brown saturated colors. If the hair color is naturally red, choose the color tone-on-tone or medium brown of the same subtone as the hair. Dark gray and black shades are not suitable here.

Light shades are suitable for green and blue eyes, and brown for tanning. When it comes to the quality of the tool, you need to remember that the texture of the pencil must be dry. It should not get wet, disintegrate or leave behind crumbs / pigment particles. Soft and fatty are also not suitable, as they do not have waterproof characteristics. Ladies who have tattooed eyebrows do not want to use a pencil. Also, when choosing you will help the rating of funds and reviews of other customers.

Finding your perfect waterproof pencil is half the battle. We need to learn how to use it correctly. Everything is important here - it forms the sharpening of the slate to the point of pressing, because sometimes the line can be dirty, smear, or be too saturated.

1. Clear eyebrows from dirt and remnants of previous makeup. For example, go for a cleansing tonic or a makeup wipe.
2. First determine the shape of the eyebrow. You can do it this way: put a pencil to the edge of the nostrils perpendicular to the chin. The tip of the pencil will indicate the start of the eyebrow. Rotate it 45 degrees so that the stylus passes as if through the outer edge of the pupil. There will be the highest point of the eyebrows. Bring a pencil to the outer corner of the eye - here is the tip. The tip should not be below the base, otherwise the look will be overweight.
3. Pull out excess hair, pay attention to the nose and the tip of the eyebrow - it should be neat.
4. Comb your eyebrows with a special brush. Sometimes it comes with a pencil, sometimes it needs to be bought separately.
5. Comb eyebrows up. Trim the eye-catching hairs.
6. Brush your eyebrows down. Trim them the same way.
7. Now comb your eyebrows in shape and take a pencil in hand.
8. Draw one thin and fuzzy line the shape of the eyebrow on top, then the same bottom, as if delineating light strokes of the eyebrow. Connect at the tip.
9. Neat short movements start filling the eyebrow, painting over the voids. Pay special attention to the tip, but do not overdo it with the start of the eyebrow. Do not press on the pencil, the strokes should be parallel to each other and neat.
10. Brush the hair again, at the same time shading a pencil.
11. Fix makeup with colorless or pigmented gel. This will give the makeup firmness and extra shine or pigment.
