It sounds strange, but the eyebrows are one of the characteristic elements of a person’s face. Try to draw them very dark and accentuated and notice how the gaze will look meaner or you tend to redefine them upwards and see how the eye will look more lifted. But unless mother nature has given you perfect eyebrows or if you are a victim of the 2000s when they wore extremely thin, every day you will have to redesign them to get the result you like the most, with a considerable waste of time. In fact, making a mistake in defining the eyebrows can really change all the makeup, even making it worse.
In addition to shaving them and giving them their shape periodically, a trick to always have them in order even as soon as you wake up is todye them . Often, in fact, the color of the eyebrows does not correspond to that of the hair, many times dyed or perhaps because they begin to turn white, thanks to age. But even in this case there are various techniques and methods , some permanent , others natural and others long lasting , but not permanent.

. The best known method is without doubt the eyebrow dye which, as in the case of hair, dyes the hair of the pre-established color. And a permanent tintwhich is not removed with water but only with the growth and fall of the hair, it is therefore important to choose a suitable color. For those who need to darken their eyebrows, it is better to choose a tone or two less , so as not to end up with too dark hair. For those who want to lighten it is better not to use pure oxygen , but lightening dyes with pigments, otherwise the effect will be very orange or yellow.
First tie your hair, wash your face well , dry it and with a cotton swab apply Vaseline or cocoa butter on the contours of the eyebrows, to avoid stainingSkin. Now spread the color with the applicator supplied or with another cotton swab, then wait for the application time indicated on the package. The first time you do it or if you change the brand of the product used, it is always better to keep it in place a little less and repeat the operation in the following days, to avoid that the result is not satisfactory. The important thing is not to use a hair dye , as it could be too aggressive and cause severe allergic reactions in a delicate area such as the eye area, also risking to make you lose your eyebrows. However, it is always better to carry out a test by applying a small amount of dye on the arm, to avoid any allergies.

Another method of dyeing the eyebrows is to use dyeing herbs . It is a completely natural technique , as long as you choose high quality and pure henna . Attention, because they are compounds that stain the skin a lot , so also in this case remember to apply petroleum jelly to protect it. Prepare your mixture by mixing powder , water and a few drops of lemon juice to accelerate oxidation. Let it rest for a few hours and then apply on the eyebrows with the help of a cotton swab. Leave on for 15 minutes and, if necessary, reapply a second layer, even immediately afterwards. In fact, henna is a natural product, which does not damage the hair but rather helps to make it thicker , because it covers it with a patina, which makes it appear even more shiny. The henna colors the hair with a red tending to orange, but by mixing it with other dyeing plants, other colors can be obtained, such as a brown tending to mahogany or an intense black. The effect will last for about a month , fading as the hair finishes its life cycle.

For those who prefer a lasting but not permanent solution , there are gels with applicator which, spread on the eyebrows, create a patina that covers the hairs and dyes them with the desired color. They are very easy to apply and only last three or four days, therefore also perfect for those who are undecided whether to change their eyebrow color. They are applied almost as you would use an eyebrow pencil, covering the entire hair and, in the case of a few holes, even the skin. With a cotton swab, then, inaccuracies are removed and the design is redefined, then wait for the shutter speed, that is for the product to dry, then gently peel off the film. It will be enough to comb them with a transparent gel to have them in order, certainly for longer than a pencil that goes away by removing make-up can do.
