Criterias of choice
To understand which product is better to buy and how to choose it, you need to decide on its purpose, color, texture, etc.
Criterias of choice:
- For what? Each tool has its own purpose. There are cosmetics that are solely responsible for fixing and modeling hairs. Tint products dye hair in a specific color. The restoring formulations nourish and saturate the part of the face with useful components, stimulate intensive growth. There are universal gels that perform several functions at once.
- What colour? The created image will be harmonious if the color of the eyebrows is a tone lighter than the hair at the roots. As a rule, the shade is indicated on the packaging. But it is better to use a tester and apply the product to your skin to make sure it fits perfectly.
- What texture? The fixing compound should be moderately liquid, not overdried. A dry product dries up even more on the hairs and crumbles, a liquid product dries and smears for a long time. It is worth paying attention to the compositions that are not afraid of wind, snow and rain. Then the makeup will not be spoiled.
- What are the ingredients? A lot of chemicals are not beneficial. On the contrary, hairs begin to fall out, allergies may appear. The gel must contain essential oils, natural extracts. Very often balms are produced with argan oil, vitamins or natural water.
- What size should the brush be? According to cosmetologists, it should be medium in size. Too large will not completely paint over the eyebrow, and a small one is not convenient to use.
Choice according to hair color
The main criterion for choosing a tint gel for eyebrows is the compliance of its shade with the hair tone. In this case, the makeup will be as natural as possible. And the facial features are expressive. To make the look natural, you need to choose products labeled “taupe” and “blonde”. They are versatile.
Selection rules:
- Blondes are caramel and ash shades. "Blond" colors are suitable.
- For brown-haired women, a shade similar to dark chocolate is suitable. As a rule, they write "brunet" on pencils.
- Red-haired girls will become even brighter if they use cosmetics with red pigments.
- Brunettes should be given preference to dark chocolate colors.
- Brown hair is combined with granite and ash tones.
Black is only suitable for hot brunettes. It is better to handle gels of this shade more carefully.
How to apply eyebrow gel correctly
How many women are there in the world, exactly as many algorithms for applying makeup. Each girl has her own sequence of actions, the funds are applied in a certain technique, and the applicator is held at a certain angle. The recommendations listed below will help you achieve the desired result.
As a rule, the process of applying the gel is as follows:
- To begin with, the eyebrows are combed with a brush. If necessary, hairs are removed with tweezers.
- Then apply the required amount of balm using the brush that comes with the kit. There are products for which the brush is purchased separately. These are creams, gels in jars, waxes.
- The composition is evenly distributed, laying the hairs in the selected direction.
- A cotton swab will help to remove excess.
If the modeling cosmetics are of high quality, they dry quickly. Therefore, the effect appears instantly. When a tint pencil is applied in front of the gel, you can overdo it with color saturation. A light gel will help solve this problem: it will remove several tones.
