Know the 6 most common mistakes when doing eyebrows
The eyebrows are one of the most important points of our face, and their relevance is manifested as one of the factors that can change the expression and age of the person. However, many do not know how to generate them correctly, making mistakes when doing their eyebrows.
Many tutorials graphically teach how to do them, but few demonstrate the most common mistakes that women with little experience are likely to make. And in this, factors such as skin color and different features increase the chances of failure.
But, if you are here, it is to seek perfection, and with this list of mistakes you will be prepared to avoid and proceed correctly with your eyebrows.
Most common mistakes in making eyebrows
1. Exaggerate hair removal
A good definition of eyebrows begins with a good plucking of them. But, by taking care with hair removal tools, it leads to exaggeration in this process. The result, extremely thin, weak and irregularly shaped eyebrows.
This is one of the main mistakes that is made and usually occurs due to three factors:
Mishandling of hair removal tools.
Poor perception of the shape of the eyebrows.
Misconception of the role of hair removal.
This last point refers to the fact that women think that hair removal in this area only focuses on shaping the eyebrow, however, this is not the only thing. If you already have a pattern, you only have to clear and define with waxing, that is, remove hair that grows outside the original figure.
Understanding that waxing is only activated in this way, proceed with care and attention.
2. Eyebrows too close together or too far apart
The eyebrows in general, regardless of the format you have, must respect certain lengths determined by the features of your face.
This is an important point in their realization, since when they are waxed and made up, if they are not placed where they should be, they can make changes in expressions and make them look unnatural.
Brows that start too close together, or are too far apart, are the main thing to worry about when looking at your brow lengths.
To avoid mistakes in this, with a ruler or thread in a straight line, position one end on the dimple of the nose, and the other on the beginning of the eyebrow, the point of the arch and at its end.
3. Unfavorable or wrong way
An error that continues to be made even in recent years is to generate an unfavorable or wrong form.
The eyebrow format that is currently being handled is straighter, with slight curved lines, with a degraded start. Despite this, many opt for thinner arch eyebrows, or straight without arch, these are old-fashioned models that do not give the face a natural and delicate aesthetic.
Yet another mistake is sticking to brow patterns that aren't designed for the features of your face. Each type of face has a design that favors its features, and although there are people who suit different eyebrow shapes well, you should check which one looks best on you.
Regarding this, evaluate the type of face, volume in the face and features, as these will be your guide when choosing.
4. Overdoing the eyebrows with makeup
Keep in mind that times have changed and so have the finishes on the eyebrows, which is why today's makeup for this area must follow a very representative natural trend.
This is where the error occurs, since many assume makeup to generate the eyebrow and not to complement it. They overload with makeup, darkening and distorting even the hairs.
This occurs mainly due to three aspects:
Not knowing how to generate the natural gradient finish.
Lack of knowledge when handling makeup tools and products.
Not knowing which product is best for your eyebrows.
The key to not ending up with this mistake is to evaluate the condition of your natural eyebrows, that is, if they are very thick or lacking in hair. With this, and with the help of tutorials, you will be able to learn which product favors you and how to use it.
5. Perform a bad technique
Each makeup product has its own way of application, however, when it comes to technique, it is about the general way in which the eyebrow is created and finished.
Over the years, this process has been improved, resulting in a generic technique that most great makeup artists apply. However, many ignore this, and even, out of speed, proceed in a disorderly and abrupt manner, leaving a fatal finish.
You must proceed mainly by combing the eyebrows in the correct direction, then generate the figure by making a line from its beginning at the bottom, until reaching the end, in the same way at the top.
Finished the figure, begin to fill in, emphasizing the most sparse areas, except the beginning of the eyebrow. Then just brush from the line of the figure, up and down, in this way you will see a gradient start and the body of the eyebrow in a uniform color.
6. Bad choice of eyebrow color
Continuing with the natural wave, the color is a crucial part, since it must reflect the same color of your hair or take it to a point where it looks subtle and harmonious.
Many make the mistake of choosing black for their eyebrows, because even if your hair is black, this color is strong, gives a very artificial look and even visually increases your age.
In this sense, if your hair color is dark or in a strong tone, it is best to choose brown colors, as there are many variations of this, which become less powerful than black.
