Today the brows are reliving a new season of glory: groomed, combed, defined. The important thing is that they are natural. Read our make-up tips and suggested products
Real face frames, the eyebrows they must be considered an essential part of a successful trick.
In order for them to enhance the face, it is good not to overturn the natural eyebrow design because by dint of being torn, they risk not growing again: their growth is in fact slow and irregular. There correct form it is that which follows the established natural line of the orbital bone of the eye. Sometimes, it is necessary to intervene only in small points: this will serve to open the gaze and prevent the face from being weighed down as a whole by too thick or disordered eyebrows.
Natural shape of the eyebrows
Drawing the eyebrows in a natural way must have the sole purpose of raising (slightly!) The eyebrow arch, without however altering or hardening the expression of the face.
With the appropriate precautions we can give the optical illusion of elongate or widen the eye, creating an effect of greater brightness and openness. Always in a very natural way.
If you look closely at the drawing of an eyebrow, you will notice that the growth of the hair covers exactly the bony structure of the brow bone: this means that the growth of the hair is limited to a specific space. Pulling out too much hair, overcoming some “boundaries”, risks making the eyebrows unnatural.
Beginning of the eyebrow
Place a pencil on your face following an imaginary straight line that starts from inner corner of the eye towards the mouth, touching the nostril of the nose. All the hairs that “come out” of the pencil must be pulled out, because that point indicates the exact beginning of the eyebrow. It is not convenient to shave too much, otherwise the eyes will seem too far apart.
End of the eyebrow
Thus moves the same pencil diagonally, starting from the nostril of the nose towards the end of the eyebrows, and at the same time touching the outer corner of the eye. In this way, you will understand where the eyebrow must end: also in this case, if the hairs come out of the pencil, they must be removed; otherwise they must be added. Too short eyebrows can make your eyes appear small or round.
Eyebrow height
Based on the figure above, proceed to define the height of the eyebrow, that is the point where the hairs should be removed to give brightness to the look. Place the pencil diagonally, starting from the mouth, touching the nostril of the nose and ending where the iris of the eye is. The point near the eyebrows where the pencil is positioned indicates the maximum height of the eyebrow itself. So eliminate the hairs that come out of that line, no more, otherwise you risk getting an unnatural pattern.
Eyebrows: tips for a natural result
After understanding the architecture of your ideal but still natural eyebrows, remove the excess hair. The hairs must be plucked with the appropriate tweezers always following the direction of growth. Steel tweezers with thin tips are preferable, which are able to have a good grip even on barely visible hairs, as well as allowing greater speed in carrying out this operation.
Check if there is one light fluff the temple and the eyebrow and in the forehead area because generally, even if it seems harmless, it can blur the brightness of the face.

Define the shape
1. First, comb your brows up and out. In this way you can have an objective view of any corrections to be made.

The actual drawing
1. Make sure your eyebrows are clean: if you’ve already done eye make-up or base, remove any foundation residue or powders if there are any.
2. Comb the eyebrows upward to define the final lower part and then comb them downward to define the final upper part. You can help yourself with an angled brush if you use brow gel or you can use a more precise pencil.
3. Fill in the empty part that was created between the two parts and comb the eyebrows inside the design you created.
4. Define the initial bottom, trying to leave the initial top much more nuanced than the rest.
5. With a concealer and a flat brush define the outline: with this step you can remedy any inaccurate lines.
6. Add eyebrow mascara to set them.
How to use the eyebrow pencil
There right pencil it is the one with a rather hard and well-pointed mine. Thus draw small strokes in the direction of the natural hair growth, up to define the design of the arch. For a natural effect, the strokes must always be light and thin, in order to give the impression that the hair is real.
To make the effect even more realistic, blend the lines you have just drawn with a brush of the type used for the lips. Then, with a darker colored pencil, draw the other lines in order to create a chiaroscuro effect.
How to use the various eyebrow products
In addition to pencils you can use them specific powders to draw and fill in the eyebrows. Usually they are kits consisting of 2 pressed powders, one lighter and the other darker, and a brush. The lighter powder is used to draw the eyebrows, the darker one is used to fill in the newly created line. Also in this case, it is good to follow a symmetrical “diagonal” trend that follows the direction of the hair. This is the only way to achieve a natural eyebrow design.
Completing the range of eyebrow products i creamy gels which give a clearer line and are indicated in the case of very poorly defined eyebrows. They have the shape of a small mascara with which to comb and color the hairs of the eyebrows. To have a natural effect, it is recommended to start shortly after the start of the eyebrows, and then to blend the color towards the roots of the nose. Otherwise you risk unnaturally darkening too much.
