How to choose the right eyebrow shape before drawing
The correct shape of the eyebrows is the key to good makeup. To choose the right shape, you need to determine your type of face. It is necessary to visually divide the face into 3 blocks: the upper part (forehead), the main part (cheekbones) and the lower part (jaw). Also vertically the face is divided in half. Now you can determine the ratio of the proportions of the face and the length of the drawn lines.
- Round face
If the horizontal and vertical parts are approximately equal, a low forehead, a narrow jaw and wide cheekbones, then your face is round. Most likely, facial features are softened and need to be made sharper. To do this, you need to comb the hairs up, and sharpen the tip, resulting in a characteristic break in the eyebrow.
- Oval face
The equality of all blocks among themselves and a long vertical line compared to a horizontal one are characteristic of an ideal oval face. Classic eyebrows “straight” are perfect for this type. If the face is too long, rounded eyebrows with a smooth break will help to make it visually more rounded.
- Square face
A low forehead, wide cheekbones and jaw, and the horizontal and vertical are equal, which means the face is square. To make it less geometric, you can use wide eyebrows with a soft bend. By the way, in this case, you can experiment with a broken eyebrow in order to find the ideal shape that softens the oval of the face.
- Rectangular face
A wide forehead and cheekbones, an elongated chin, a vertical line more than a horizontal one correspond to a rectangular face. Thick eyebrows of medium length with a natural curve are the best fit for this type of face. When correcting, it is better not to touch the ponytails, but to get rid of the vegetation closer to the bridge of the nose.
- triangular face
With this type of face, the lower part is noticeably larger than the upper, or vice versa, massive cheekbones and forehead, but a narrow chin. The function of the eyebrows here is to narrow the face around the cheekbones. Eyebrows should be raised high, wide at the beginning and narrow at the tips, the curve is noticeably pronounced.
You need to try not to repeat the sharp lines in the eyebrows, so as not to draw attention to the shape of the face.
- diamond face
If the main emphasis is on the cheekbones, and the jaw and forehead are approximately the same, then the type of oval is diamond-shaped. The task of the eyebrows is to soften the oval and visually narrow the zygomatic part, for which classic eyebrows with a smooth break are best suited, but their width should be slightly larger than the standard one.
After determining the type of face, you need to determine the contour of the eyebrow in order to remove excess hairs that are knocked out of the borders. Professional browists, when correcting the shape of the eyebrows, mark 3 points, by connecting which you can get an accurate contour.
It is also easy to do this at home, having 2 contour pencils: lines are built with one, dots on the skin are marked with the other.
In Japan in the 8th-12th centuries AD, beauty standards meant the complete removal of natural eyebrows and drawing them high on the forehead. Around the same period in Europe, thin eyebrows-strings were in fashion.
- The point at the bridge. We draw a line from the outer edge of the nostril to the eyebrow arch through the inner corner of the eye. At the intersection of the line with the eyebrow, the starting point is marked.
- The highest point of the eyebrow, from which the tail originates. The line must be drawn from the outer edge of the nostril to the eyebrow through the pupil. The point is placed on the eyelid under the eyebrow.
- Eyebrow end. The line should be drawn from the outer edge of the nostril to the eyebrow arch, using the outer corner of the eye as a guide. The point is placed towards the temple.
Now you can draw the architecture of the eyebrow point by point. All hairs that are behind the contour are removed with tweezers or in another convenient way. It should be noted that only dots are placed, respectively, the shape of the lines can be made according to …
