HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THE EYEBROWS - BEAUTY

Taking care of your eyebrows: how, when and why

They frame the face, express personality, characterize and make the look magnetic: we are talking about the eyebrows, an often neglected part - or tortured with tweezers & co - of our face.

In reality, having well-groomed, shiny, thick eyebrows of the right size and shape is important because it helps to create that facial harmony that makes us unique.
Let's find out here how to take care of them!

1- Pay attention to the shapes!

Giving your eyebrows the right shape, based on your features, is of fundamental importance to create proportions and harmonies. To do this, at least for the first time, rely on a good beautician who defines the natural curve of your eyebrows and cleans them of unnecessary hairs. Then you can take care of their care independently using tweezers, specific waxes, depilatory strips or pulsed light devices.

1- Go to the bar ...

You read that right, but certainly not just any bar! Imported from New York, the fashion of the Brow Bars - places where beauty professionals take care of your eyebrows - is slowly gaining ground in Italy as well. For example, if you go to the new Beauty Lounge of Limoni, in Milan, you will have beauty experts at your disposal, while in the main Sephora points throughout Italy you will find the Brow Bar Benefit: a session to create the right setting includes consultancy for the choice of design , hair removal, make-up and, if necessary, coloring, for 21 euros.

3- The perfect arch

Beyond the strong trend of the moment - seagull wing, swallow wing or wild eyebrows like those of the famous supermodel Cara Delevigne - each one has "its" bow to discover and enhance, even through make-up. For a natural effect, the ideal is the pencil, to be used to fill in the gaps through many close dashes; if you want something more decisive, use the special eyeshadows, in powder or cream.

4- To dye or not to dye?

Dyeing the eyebrows can become useful in 3 cases: when they are blond and therefore not very visible and a little faded, when the first white hairs begin to appear and when you want to give a more decisive color. You can do it directly at the hairdresser or with convenient DIY kits that are available on the market.

5- Mistakes to avoid

- If you use tweezers, never tear against the hair! The follicle may shift and the hair grows back at an unnatural tilt.
- Do not exceed in hair removal, the risk is to get carried away and find yourself with very thin and unsightly eyebrows. Leaving too much space between the two eyebrows is also a mistake not to make. It's okay to avoid the mono-eyebrow, but don't overdo it.
- Finally, don't forget the upper part: keeping it clean and tidy will open your gaze a lot.

6- The BIO board

Did you know that castor oil is able to strengthen, fortify and accelerate the growth of the eyebrows? Sure, it won't work wonders if yours are very sparse or thin, but it's still a great natural treatment to keep them healthy. Alternatively, you will find many easy-to-apply gel or cream products on the market, to always have tidy and healthy eyebrows.

7- The tattoo

Are you lazy and don't want to constantly dedicate yourself to your eyebrows? Tattoo them! A solution also indicated in case of very sparse eyebrows or for those who have lost them, perhaps due to medical treatment. Choose the permanent ink professional to rely on very carefully, both in terms of hygiene rules and because if your indelible eyebrows that you don't like will be a heavy baggage to carry around!
