How to tint your eyebrows at home

Modern technologies in the beauty industry allow a woman to abandon the daily application of makeup. And if eyelash extensions can only be done by a specialist, then every girl can easily learn how to tint her eyebrows at home. The procedure is simple and can be done independently.

Choosing material: tips

1. The first step to take is to choose a coloring material.
2. Regular hair dye is prohibited due to the content of aggressive substances in the composition. It cannot be used for fine hair on eyebrows and skin.
3. The painting procedure is best carried out using special means. They are created taking into account all the features of this area, the use of which is safe.
4. There are two options - paint and henna. The second method is not durable and rich. It is more suitable for fair-haired girls.

6. Before such a procedure, it is necessary to do an allergy test. The classic method is to apply a small amount of product to your wrist and wait 10 minutes. During this time, the body will respond to the stimulus. If there is no allergic reaction, then the paint is suitable.

How not to make a mistake with color?

For many girls, tinting their eyebrows at home becomes very difficult due to problems determining the color of the substance.

It is worth remembering the rule - eyebrows should look as natural as possible. Then the whole image will be harmonious. You should start from the hair color:

1. Brunettes. For dark-haired girls, shades lighter than natural curls are suitable. But no more than a couple of tones.
2. Blondes. Light brown tones of paint are combined with light hair.
3. Redheads. All shades of brown are suitable here. But it is worth considering the saturation of hair color.

Correcting the form

This item is optional. If the eyebrows already have the desired shape, then skip this step. But if something doesn’t suit you, it’s better to fix it before the procedure itself.

Eyebrow correction options:

1. using stencils (sold in cosmetic stores);
2. draw the outline yourself.

1. arm yourself with a pencil with a thick base;
2. mark the starting point of the eyebrow and its end;
3. connect these points from below and above.

This creates an outline; the inside should be filled with paint. Due to the fat content of the pencil, the chemical will not go beyond the drawn boundaries.
It is important to note that the line should not deviate too much from the natural eyebrow. Otherwise, they will turn out to be an unnatural size.

Stages of the procedure

Initially, you should prepare a number of devices. You should lay them out on the table in front of you so that you don’t have to look for each item for a long time.

For the procedure you will need:

1. Disposable cotton pads and swabs. They are easy to wipe off excess paint.
2. Cream. It should be quite fatty. Choose products that are used on the face or eye area.
3. Brush – this is used to apply the product.
4. Dye.

Preparation: important rules

Before applying coloring pigment to the eyebrows, you need to carry out preparatory measures. Let's look at all the steps step by step.

1. If there is cosmetics on the skin, they should be removed with a special cosmetic product. After this, rinse your face with water.
2. Treat the area around the eyebrows with cream. The hairs themselves remain intact. This manipulation will protect the skin from staining.
3. You should also carefully remove all excess hair. Even vellus hair can stain and ruin the contour of the eyebrow. Because of this, the result will be blurry.

Careful application

1. There is no need to rush when tinting your eyebrows at home. Fill the outlined contour with paint. The layer of product should be dense. This way the shade will be saturated and without bald spots.
2. The distribution of the substance begins from the top of the eyebrow and gradually reaches the bottom point.
3. All movements must be smooth.

Skin cleansing

1. The painted area is treated with a sponge. Cream is first applied to it. Thanks to this, excess paint is removed faster.
2. The tampon is changed until the coloring agent stops imprinting on it.
3. After this, you can blot your eyebrows with a sponge dipped in water.

Tutorials on how to properly color your eyebrows can also be found in video format.

Precautionary measures

Dyeing your eyebrows is the easiest way. But at the same time, there are some nuances to this procedure. They need to be taken into account:

1. If paint gets into your eyes, you must rinse them thoroughly - preferably with running water;
2. The procedure should be carried out no more than once a month - frequent use of chemicals harms hair and skin;
3. An allergy test is a prerequisite.

It is necessary to follow such rules not only for a good effect, but also to protect your health.

Eyebrow care

Coloring for a couple of days changes the facial care used at home.

1. You should wash your face only with water. Without the use of cosmetic products. This measure is necessary because the paint reacts with the components of other products. As a result, the final color of the eyebrows will change, but you won’t be able to control the shade.
2. You need to keep an eye on your regrown hairs. They will differ from the painted ones and should be removed carefully.
3. Due to exposure to chemicals, eyebrows weaken. For thick and strong hair, you need to use special vitamins contained in creams and oils. Periodically combing your eyebrows with a special brush will also help to activate growth.

How to properly tint your eyebrows at home? This eyebrow tinting procedure is not difficult to carry out. The quality of the result depends only on practice. With each use, the coloring skill will increase and improve. It is not necessary to seek help from expensive salons. Any girl can provide this service to herself.

Anyone can dye their eyebrows without any special skills at home. To do this, you do not have to be a master or specialist in this field. There are a large number of ways to perform this procedure. Each of which has pros and cons.

Preparing eyebrows before coloring

To prepare your eyebrows for coloring, you need:

1. Choose the right shape for your face type.

1. For an oval face, a classic or arched shape with a slight break is suitable. It is not recommended to make a sharp bend; this will make the face more elongated than it actually is.
2. For a round type, a shape with a slight bend is suitable, externally lengthening the face. A too rounded shape is not needed here; it will further emphasize the roundness of the face.
3. For a square type, the main thing is to remove sharpness and angularity, this will help soften the facial features. Straight, long arched eyebrows are ideal. This will hide wide cheekbones and visually make the face softer and rounder.
4. For a triangular face, arched, rising eyebrows are suitable; they will soften the sharpness of the cheekbones and make the chin smoother. If the face is elongated, the arch should be higher. Eyebrows that are too rounded or wide will not work.

2. Before starting the staining procedure, you need to determine the future shape.
To do this, you need to take a long pencil and mark the boundaries of the eyebrows. To determine the inner border, the pencil should be applied to the edge of the nose, pointing towards the inner corner of the eye. This is the beginning of the border.

To determine the highest point of the bend, draw a line from the nose up the outer edge of the eye, past the pupil. At the same time, the closer the eyes are to each other, the farther the eyebrows should be, and vice versa. It is important to carefully work out the width of the eyebrow. Eyebrows should not be too wide. The optimal width is 1/2 the size of the iris or 1/3 if the eyes are small.

3. Remove excess hair. You can get rid of excess hairs using tweezers, thread, or use methods such as sugaring or wax. To use the latter methods, you need to know the technique and be able to use it correctly.

4. Apply the rich cream to the skin near the eyebrows, avoiding contact with hairs. Select the desired color and dyeing method.

5. Carry out the procedure itself.

Eyebrow tinting with henna:

Many girls think that dyeing their eyelashes is natural, but they don’t need to do anything special with their eyebrows. Unless, when there was a fashion for narrow ones, they plucked out excess hairs from below or from above. In fact, neatly combed eyebrows already make your face look pretty, and if you tint them a little with a contour pencil every morning, you will become a beauty.

The eyes then seem more wide open, cat-like, a little surprised, which is very sexy. Let's take a closer look at how to dye your eyebrows at home?

Not everyone wants to do makeup every morning. It happens that you are in a hurry to go to class at the institute or to work and one eyebrow turns out this way, the other another - not symmetrical and laughter and sin. Then you quickly wash both with lotion and run to study or work naturally beautiful. To ensure long-term coloring, you can visit a beauty salon. But the procedure costs money and you need to find time for it. The most convenient way is to do a neat eyebrow tinting at home.

Choosing paint

Some inexperienced girls think that it is enough to leave a little hair dye and use it to successfully color their eyebrows. But, unfortunately, this is absolutely impossible to do. The skin on the eyebrows is delicate, and hair dye is strong and can burn the roots of the hairs, causing them to fall out. This is not in our interests, so we purchase a special eyebrow dye from a cosmetics store.

The tone should be a little lighter than the roots of your natural hair or almost like your eyelashes. If you don’t really understand what tone you need, ask the saleswoman at a cosmetics store for advice. Let her recommend several paint tones, and you choose the one that you like the most, so that you can successfully paint at home. You won't need to wake up half an hour earlier and do your makeup. With such bright eyebrows, you don’t even have to paint your eyes - it saves money.

Interestingly, eyebrow dye is sold in several states. There are powders or gels, pastes, etc. If you are doing this for the first time, then purchase the gel. It’s the easiest to deal with and you won’t mess anything up - you won’t get searing black gypsy eyebrows instead of chestnut ones.

Be sure to read the composition of the paint, this is especially important if you are prone to any allergies. You need to do a test at home - apply a drop of gel to the bend of your elbow, hold for 15 minutes. and see if, besides the paint, there is any redness or a small blister, like from nettles? If everything is fine, you can use this gel.

Experts recommend that girls with wheat or light brown hair buy dye and do the procedure with a brown-golden tint. If you are a slightly lighter brunette or brunette, then you need to go a little lighter than the dark black tone. Natural redheads or those who have been dyed this color look good with terracotta colors. Try it. Experiment, but remember that dyeing your eyebrows, like your hair, is not recommended. This procedure should be carried out once every 2 or 3 months, not more often.

Inventory

You will immediately buy a ready-made set and everything you need will be there. Read the instructions. If there is no special equipment for paint, then take it yourself. Required:

1. To carefully apply the required amount of paint, take a special spatula with teeth or cotton swabs, you can do this with an old brush that used to apply mascara to your eyelashes. Choose what is convenient.
2. You will need a small ceramic or glass bowl to make the mixture. The paint contains an oxidizing agent that will react with the metal. Therefore, the composition cannot be squeezed into iron dishes.
3. To protect your clothes from accidental paint damage, throw something from old clothes or a towel over your shoulders now.
4. A thick cream or Vaseline is required. You will lubricate the skin around your eyebrows with it so as not to paint that area.
5. Now place gauze napkins or disposable cotton pads on the table nearby. They will be needed to remove any remaining product once the coloring is complete.
6. Now read the instructions carefully and proceed.

Before this whole procedure, about a week or 3 days you should make the eyebrow shape that you like. Of course, if you think it necessary. Are you satisfied with everything? Then apply the dye, then wipe your eyebrows dry with a cotton swab. Blondes with pale eyebrows are often dissatisfied with their shape. Did you like the coloring? If yes, then repeat the procedure in a month or two.
