Best eyebrow shadows for 2020

The makeup of a modern girl cannot be imagined without beautifully designed eyebrows. If earlier this part of the face was practically not paid attention, then the trend of recent years is thick, expressive and natural looking eyebrows. Unfortunately, not everyone has such a natural beauty, but do not be discouraged - the beauty industry is ready to offer a lot of products to choose from. The editors of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" have prepared for you a review of the best eyebrow shadows for 2020.

Eyebrow makeup products - what are they?

Decorative cosmetics of this type are divided into the following types:

1. Shadow pencil - is a pencil or stick, a distinctive feature of which is the presence of a soft-textured lead. Often they are double-sided - on one side a pencil, on the other - a highlighter, styling brush or applicator with a fixing gel.
2. Dry shadows are characterized by durability and allow you to give your eyebrows a raised and voluminous look. Apply with a brush or a special applicator.
3. Liquid - their soft consistency makes it possible to apply the product evenly and draw a contour. They give the hair a more intense shade, create and fix the shape.
4. With wax - wax eyeshadow adheres perfectly not only to the hairs, but also to the skin, filling in the obvious voids.
5. Eyeshadow powder is a pigmented product that can be in the form of a liner or powder. The powder fits well between the hairs and is perfectly shaded.

How to choose?

Selection criteria are based on the following points:

1. Colour.
2. Texture.
3. Composition.

Texture

The texture of the product determines how the makeup will turn out, and therefore, based on this parameter, eyebrow products can be divided into the following types:

• Powdery - most often used to create a discreet daytime makeup. Allow to make the face more expressive, but without saturated shades;
• Cream - suitable for those with dry skin due to the fact that the creamy texture not only gives the desired shade, but also moisturizes;
• Wax - products with the addition of wax are recommended by experts to those with very sparse hairs. They hold for a long time, but they are difficult to apply due to the thick composition;
• Liquid - working with a liquid product requires certain skills, and therefore they are more often chosen by professional makeup artists. They need additional fixation, otherwise they may spread;
• Dry - often compressed in pallet format. The best dry eyeshadows in one set have two or more shades, which allows mixing shades to create more natural looks. Sometimes the eyeshadow kit also includes a set of brushes and stencils;
• Pencils - create a velvety effect on the hairs, as in their consistency they are similar to compressed powder.

Colour

The most important criterion. If you choose a shade that is lighter than needed, then the eyebrows will remain expressionless and with bright makeup they will simply "get lost" on the face, and too dark ones will look vulgar.

The most important condition when choosing a shade is the correspondence of hair color and eyebrow color. The golden rule is that the eyebrows should be a couple of tones darker than the hair.

The exception is girls with black hair, which can go the other way around. For brunettes, eyebrow colors are suitable two shades lighter than hair, which will make their facial features softer and more sophisticated, but in general, you should rely on the general color type of a person.

If we clarify the shades, then we can talk about the following classification:

• For brunettes - dark gray, dark brown and chocolate;
• For blondes - ashy, beige, gray-brown;
• For redheads - terracotta, copper, chocolate, brown;
• For fair-haired - dark brown (for dark blond) and light brown (for light blond).

Composition

Like most modern products, decorative cosmetics are characterized by the presence of harmful and useful components, and therefore it is very important to look at the product description before buying and carefully study the composition.

Safe materials include:

• Vitamins and minerals - they have a strengthening and regenerating effect;
• Glycerin - creates a protective film on the surface of the skin, due to which cells lose less moisture;
• Mica is a natural silicate, which is often used as a substitute for talc in cosmetics. Possesses enveloping properties, makes the skin silky and shine;
• Wax - most often beeswax is used, due to which the composition is stabilized, and the product fits well on the skin. According to cosmetologists, beeswax is good for the skin, since in its formula it is close to human sebum. The wax forms a film that prevents dehydration;
• Oils - nourish and moisturize the skin.

Components to be treated with caution:

• Parabens are preservatives of chemical origin, which are used in cosmetics to suppress the development of pathogens and extend shelf life. The debate around the danger of parabens has been going on for a long time and the opinions of experts differ - some argue that parabens are dangerous, others that the harm of parabens is a myth promoted by marketers to increase sales of "organically pure" products;
• Talc is a crystalline substance that some buyers believe is a carcinogen. It is important to remove talc from the skin in time, otherwise it can clog pores and lead to the growth of bacteria;
• Propylene glycol is a chemical compound that is commonly used in cosmetics and is a by-product of the oil industry. Also the subject of controversy.

Where can I buy?

Decorative cosmetics can be purchased at a regular perfume and cosmetic store or ordered online. The first option is good because it gives you the opportunity to get acquainted with the samples - literally touch the product, evaluate its texture and pigmentation quality.The second option allows you to save money, since you can often find good discounts in online stores, but you should remember that delivery to remote regions is quite expensive and, taking this into account, the product can be even more expensive than in a regular store.

In order to avoid mistakes when choosing and not be disappointed, having wasted your money, before buying, you should pay attention to the fact that matte shadows are the best choice if a natural look is required, but products with pearlescent particles are best suited for evening or festive makeup.

How to make shadows at home?

To make shadows at home, you do not need to equip a mini-laboratory. It is enough to use the tools at hand and follow the steps below in stages.

So how to make eyebrow shadows from mechanical pencil?

Required:

• The pencil itself;
• Rubbing alcohol;
• Pipette;
• Powder (in cases where it is necessary to lighten the original color of the pencil);
• Glycerin (available over the counter to create a thicker texture)
• Thick paper napkin;
• Press (coins, bottle caps, teaspoons, etc.);
• A small container for mixing all the ingredients.

Next, you need to unscrew the lead from the pencil and grind it to small homogeneous crumb. For these purposes, you can use, for example, an ordinary razor blade (not a cartridge). Then, in a prepared dry container, mix the crushed rod with a few drops of alcohol. The consistency should be firm, like a cream. If you want to achieve a lighter shade, add a little powder, and then glycerin, which will create a creamy texture. The resulting mixture should be transferred to a box where it will be stored (you can use an old eye shadow palette) and smooth. Next, you should use a tissue to remove excess liquid, which will extend the shelf life of the product - lay the paper over the shadows and press firmly with a coin or other similar object. Next, the product must be left open for about a day to harden.

Instead of alcohol, you can use vodka or perfume. Water should not be used, as this will lead to color loss, and also increase the risk of developing various bacteria.

Next, step by step, we will consider how to paint eyebrows with shadows.

Eyebrow shaping tips - how to color correctly?

Many girls who are taking the first steps in learning to make-up are wondering: how to use and how to apply shadows? The following recommendations will come to the rescue.

The application technique depends primarily on the functionality of the product. We offer two options for how to paint eyebrows with dry shadows and how to paint with powder.

How to use dry eyeshadow?

1. First you need to make a correction - use salon services or, if you have the appropriate skills and knowledge, do it yourself.
2. Next, take a special brush and comb the hairs.
3. Then, on a brush with a beveled end, draw some shadows and apply even neat strokes to the skin, drawing the desired shape. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the structure of the face - if the eyes are set far from the bridge of the nose, then the emphasis should be placed on the middle of the eyebrow, and if, on the contrary, close, then it is worth paying attention to the beginning of the brow, and the tips at the outer corners of the eyes should be left not traced.
4. As the final step, the hairs should be combed again with a brush, remove excess by touching up the makeup with a cotton swab or swab, and then apply a transparent fixing gel. You can also use tint, but without enthusiasm.

How to paint eyebrows with powder?

1. Comb the hairs with a brush, giving the desired shape.
2. Outline the contour with a pencil, which should be slightly darker in color than the powder.
3. Using a brush with a beveled bristle, apply the powder in short strokes along the growth of the hairs, following from the bridge of the nose towards the temples.
4. Remove excess with a cotton swab.
5. After a few minutes, apply the gel or fixing wax.
