How to use eyebrow shadows with wax?

Eyebrow Shadows are a great alternative to pencil. Makeup artists often prefer them. With the help of shadows you can achieve the most natural makeup. Many girls today are very concerned about the issue of how to use eyebrow shades with wax, because cosmetic companies produce such products more and more often.

This wax is not the same as the one used for depilation. This is a modeling tool that allows the edges to hold the shape and keep the color in which they were tinted.

Substance on a natural basis can be of different types:

• White / transparent wax-lock, complete with dry shadows.
• Special shadows, where the wax is already included in the composition (such funds are sometimes called "fudge").
• Healing wax to improve hair growth.

Owners of thick, wide and fairly dark eyebrows can not worry about color. It will be sufficient to apply white (when applied it becomes transparent) wax for styling and improving the shape. In this case, excess hairs are removed with tweezers, and then the substance is applied directly to the hairs using a special brush. They become elastic and pliable. Next, a brush to give the eyebrows the desired shape, adjust the bend.

Sometimes it happens that the girls grow dry and hard hairs that are knocked out of the general shape, but you can not pull them out - you will lose the pattern and density. Such "fidget" can also be "pacified" by a small amount of transparent wax.

If the eyebrows need painting, then you first need to make a correction with tweezers, then paint them with light strokes of shadows. Only after this is used wax-fixer. Eyebrows with this design keep their shape better, and the color remains bright for 6-8 hours.

The tool can be presented in a compact package (applied with a brush), in the form of a pencil (transparent or tinted) and in a semi-liquid form (something like a mascara).

It seems that the peak of the popularity of tattoo, microblading and eyebrow dyeing has passed - the makeup artists are massively in favor of a natural look. And since the trend for natural broad eyebrows has not been canceled, it means that you still have to tint what nature has given!

Eyebrow shadows “work” better than pencils. They are softer, allow you to create a more subtle and natural line and fill the space between the hairs so that no one would guess that it is dye. Of course, to draw a perfect eyebrow, a pencil is also useful. But his task will be only to focus on the most important areas - the tip, bend and the beginning.

Apply on eyebrows usual eye shadow of brown shades, of course, it is possible. But they are likely to fly quickly. Special shadows contain additives (including wax ones) that increase their durability. They are denser and brighter, because the skin under the eyebrows is much rougher than on the eyelids. The shades of the “for eyebrow” shadow also benefit - it is much easier to choose them for yourself.

Most often eyebrow shadows are not released solo, but in sets: pigment plus fixing wax. Packed colors are usually two, dark and light. Some believe that the light shade for blondes, and dark - for brunettes. In fact, two shades are given in order to mix them together. This will allow you to accurately select your color.

Playing shades, you can visually correct the flaws in appearance. For example, close-set eyes can be “arranged”, highlighting the beginning of the eyebrow (near the nose) with a lighter shade, and the tip - with a darker one. If you make up the opposite, you can “move” wide-set eyes.

The wax included in the set is used as a fixer - it is applied on top of the shadows, as if sealing the design.

Today, almost every self-respecting cosmetic brand produces its own product for eyebrows. It can be a shade in a pencil, liquid tinted wax, eyebrow powder, etc. Optimal, especially for beginners, to purchase a set. This is a handy box, often with a mirror that holds everything: miniature brushes, wax, pigments and even sometimes tweezers.

Need to focus on your wallet and color type. The basic principle of the choice of color - eyebrows should be one tone darker than the hair. This is what will create the necessary contrast, clarity and make the face expressive. As an option - to match. But by no means lighter!

Make eyebrows shadows with wax need to be phased. The most important thing is to put them in order, otherwise no cosmetics will be able to correct them. It is necessary to pull out extra hairs with tweezers (preferably this should be done at night or at least half an hour before applying makeup, otherwise there will be redness around the eyebrows!). It is believed that you need to pull out the hairs only on the bottom edge, because the top line suggests the shape and the bend.

Next, you need to brush your eyebrow with a brush, carefully laying the hairs.

The tip of the pencil should point to the place where the eyebrow should begin. Then, tilt the pencil so that it passes exactly through your pupil. The pencil will indicate the highest point of the edge. Then tilt the pencil so that it touches the outer corner of the eye. This will be the brow tip.

Now you can draw. Select or mix the appropriate color of the shadows. Type a little on a thin beveled brush and first draw the upper and lower lines, taking into account the points that were marked with a pencil. Then fill the space between the lines with light jerky movements of the brush. Pay special attention to points - the eyebrow should be especially clear. You can draw these places in pencil, but with thin and light strokes.

After that you need to shade the pigment to make it look as natural as possible. Use a brush to gently “smear” the drawing, trying to hide the places where pencil lines and shadows are combined. Figure should be uniform.

After that, the shadows are fixed. On the other brush (or the other side of the brush) type a small amount of wax and lightly apply it over the hair. It further helps to shade the color. The main thing is to ensure that the wax does not lay down lumps and not too shine.

Excess shadows that could crumble away, brush off. Some sets have a special highlighter that needs to be applied under the eyebrow - it sculptures the face and makes the makeup more expressive. A couple of drops (if it is liquid) or point brushing (if it is compact) will be enough. The tool is gently driven into the skin under the bend of the eyebrow and tip.
