Hello dear ladies! Let's take a very hot topic with you - eyebrows. Namely, coloring of age-related eyebrows. I will tell you all the nuances that will help you do this at home yourself and not look comical after that.
Let's remember three important rules: not bright, not wide, not graphic.
The first thing we will define with you is the dye and the color that is worth choosing
Often, the hairs of aging eyebrows are dried out, including the skin, due to changes in regeneration and water balance. In order not to dry out such eyebrows even more, it is better to use eyebrow dyes. Choose henna when your skin is not dry and the hairs are not dry or rough.
Choose the color of the paint not too dark, and warm shades. Forget about the black color, they add age and comicity to the image.
If you have completely gray eyebrows, choose an oxidant 3 or 6% when coloring with paint.
An oxidant with a lower percentage may not take on gray eyebrow hair. If you have 2-3 gray hairs, then it is better to remove them, this will not particularly affect the density, but after staining, they may stand out, and the color will not be uniform.
Let's move on to the shape of the eyebrows
Very often, the tail of the age eyebrows is lowered. This is when the tail is below the beginning of the eyebrow, which gives a sad look and adds age.
Our task is to raise the tail! There are two solutions for this:
1) if the tail is long enough (like the eyebrow itself), then we simply remove excess hairs, thereby shortening it;
2) if the tail is short, and there are no extra hairs there, then you can slightly lower the starting point of the eyebrow, while making it more elevated. In this case, the tail can be extended when staining, but by no more than 1 mm.
What to do with plucked eyebrows
There used to be a fashion for thin eyebrows. And to this day, older ladies continue to make a thin line out of them. We move away from this and return as much as possible the natural look of the eyebrows. I do not argue that it is much more difficult to grow eyebrows at an age than, for example, at 20, but it's worth trying. I have a separate article devoted to the growth of eyebrows.
I will also tell you how to dye such eyebrows. The spikes are in width and length. We can add only 1 mm of dye on each side, not more.
No need to dye your eyebrows where they are not. The paint will wash off the skin very quickly and dark hairs will remain, which is ugly.
I often see women with too much distance between the eyebrows. Do not pinch your eyebrows like that, this makes the bridge of the nose visually massive. The same, but exactly the opposite, you do not need to make a very small distance between the eyebrows, the look immediately becomes stern.
Brows commas
Where commas shouldn't be is on your face. We grow the tail and its width without touching it with tweezers at all. But the head for the first time can be adjusted - we remove 2-3 rows of hairs (depends on the thickness and width of the eyebrow body) and paint over the tail, going beyond the border of the hairs by no more than 1 mm in width from one side and the other.
Eyebrow shaping tools
Aging skin loses its turgor over time. Therefore, when correcting, wax or sugar should be abandoned. Even if in the salon the browist decided to remove excess hairs for you, for example, with wax, then feel free to declare that it does not work correctly with aging skin. You better go! If the master does not know such elementary things, then you will definitely not get anything good in the end.
With aging skin, you can only work with tweezers or a trading thread.
Preparing aged skin for eyebrow coloring
Aged skin is mostly dry. And the stain can be uneven. To remove peeling, it is better to do a gentle peeling of the eyebrows, holding the product for about 5 minutes.
If you have combination skin, then the peeling can not be sustained, but simply massage the eyebrow skin with it. The main thing is not to use a scrub, it can injure aging skin.
We process eyebrows with eyebrow shampoo, cleanser and you can start coloring. Preparation for staining is important, uniform staining and dye durability depend on it. The better you prepare your skin, the better the result will be.
Remember the three rules for eyebrows that I wrote about at the very beginning? With dark and wide eyebrows, we figured it out. Now let's move on to how to make non-graphic eyebrows.
Non-graphic eyebrows
To make a straight line, when staining, pull the skin slightly towards the temple. This is very important for ladies over 50! Remember to make the base of your brow a little softer than the tip.
You can paint the base a little later and not so intensely. Or correct it with a cotton swab. Don't make very rough corners, they should be soft.
To make the dye last longer on the first day after dyeing, try not to wet your eyebrows, and in the following days use less surfactant products on your eyebrows.
