Eyebrow mascara

Eyebrow mascara is a gel texture with rich pigment that colors the hairs on the eyebrows and fixes them at the same time. Today, this decorative product is especially popular because it allows you to achieve the effect of natural well-groomed eyebrows, give them shape and style unruly hairs. Eyebrow mascara in its appearance resembles a classic eyelash product: it is contained in a tube package, has a moderately liquid consistency and a brush for applying and distributing the product. However, the compositions cannot interchange each other: eyebrow mascara has a lighter gel texture and a less saturated content of pigments.

Mascara is used when it is necessary to style the eyebrows, give them shape, create additional volume and color the hairs. By the way, the product can be pigmented and transparent. In the latter case, it will be possible to lay the hairs without additional staining. Eyebrow mascara is good if a girl or woman has her own fluffy eyebrows, then the product will be really appropriate and will allow you to emphasize the natural shape and style the hairs.

Mascara captures the natural shape of the eyebrows well, but this product does not always allow you to create a complete make-up. Then shadows or a pencil come out - the main assistants in creating the shape of an eyebrow. These two products are used for:

• Drawing the missing parts of the eyebrow;

With your own bushy eyebrows, using one mascara will be enough: it will favorably emphasize the eyebrows, set them in the right direction and not allow them to stick out. If natural eyebrows do not have an abundance of hairs or have an irregular shape, it is advisable to use shadows or a pencil to create a lost shape and fix the result with special mascara. Make up your eyebrows with a pencil or shadows before using mascara, the latter will fix the result and make the look more natural by emphasizing the hairs.

Mascara allows you to create a natural look and is used in everyday life to give expressiveness to the look.It can be used during the restoration of natural eyebrows, for this it is better to choose a transparent gel texture.

Eyebrow mascara is a pigmented gel packaged in a tube. Any correct formula of the product is always gel, which allows you to simultaneously color the hairs and fix the result.

Mascara without pigments in the composition is used to fix the hairs, for example, after creating their shape with the help of shadows or a pencil. The transparent gel formula often contains a complex of caring components (vitamins, oils) and can even be applied at night.

Sculpting mascara is an excellent alternative to shadows and pencil. When choosing it, it is necessary to take into account the natural shade of the eyebrows and select the composition in accordance with this color. A few tips from experienced experts will help you get a decent decorative product:

• Choose a shade of the product that is as close as possible to the natural color (or the one you dye your hair). If it is difficult to choose the exact shade or it is difficult to determine its saturation, choose a lighter one. Dark pigment can form an untidy spot and generally look out of place with dark hairs and a whitish interhair space;
• An ordinary manufacturer produces 2-3 or more shades of sculpting mascara, professional brands may have more colors;
• There are shades for blondes, brunettes and brown-haired women, which allows you to choose the most suitable tone;
• Pay attention to the brush: the most convenient is a round brush with villi, the shape of the brush is convenient in its own way - it is also round, but has villi of different lengths. Choose the shape of the brush based on the natural thickness of the eyebrow, the round one will be the best choice for thin ones;
• Give preference to a well-known manufacturer;
• Before buying, use the tester and apply a little product to the hairs. So you can evaluate how well it fixes the eyebrows and whether it suits you;
• Evaluate the consistency of the composition - it should be moderately liquid, without lumps and foreign pungent odor;
• Pay attention to the expiration date of the product and always choose fresh products;
• There is a huge difference between mascara and brow mascara, don't use the same product for different areas;
• Brown mascara is the most common shade, so it is worth giving preference to this shade and proceeding solely from its saturation;
• Black is the prerogative of brunettes and girls with black hair. Still, the jet-black shade should be replaced with cold brown, since natural eyebrows are now in fashion 1 tone lighter than the natural hair color;
• For daily use and the sensitive eye area, choose a classic resistant texture, for a special occasion (photo shoot, wedding, vacation) you can focus on waterproof.

It is easy to recognize the mascara thanks to the tube packaging and an excellent brush, which is round or shorter in length than the mascara brush. The texture of the product distinguishes the eyebrow product and has a less rich and viscous composition.When applied, you can notice that it envelops only the hairs, gently lies on the skin with strong pressure and securely fixes the eyebrows, does not form lumps and does not stick together.

Mascara can be made independently using one of the suggested recipes. First you need to prepare the following accessories: a container for mixing the components and a small stick, spatula or brush, a jar for storing the finished carcass, a brush from the old carcass.

You will need the following components:

• 3-4 drops of almond oil or jojoba extract (shea, coconut, olive);
• 4 tablets of activated charcoal or other dry pigment (zinc oxide, for example);
• 5-6 drops of boiled water or purified liquid;
• A quarter teaspoon of potato starch.

Thoroughly mix the components together, after turning the activated charcoal tablets into powder. First, the dry ingredients are mixed, then the liquid ones are added to them one by one. The finished composition is poured into the prepared container and tightly closed with a lid immediately after preparation and each time after use. It is recommended to let the finished mascara brew for at least an hour, and then use it to color the eyebrows.

To create a mascara for eyebrows with wax, you will need the components listed above and a quarter of a tea leg of beeswax (in a bar). Hard wax must first be melted in a water bath and add a couple of drops of almond oil there. After the wax acquires a liquid consistency, it is necessary to add a mixture of activated carbon and the remaining components to it.

The correct consistency of homemade mascara is thick, oily. It must be stored in a tightly closed jar.

After the perfect mascara is already in the cosmetic bag, it’s worth figuring out how to properly dye the hairs:

• First, prepare the area - the skin should be cleansed and moisturized, in a word, prepared for applying make-up;
• You don't need to pre-powder your brows if you're using mascara as a separate decorative shaping product;
• Apply the composition with a brush from the base of the eyebrow, moving to its tip in one motion. To create additional volume, comb the hairs up, for simple styling - in the direction of growth of the gem from the side;
• After the mascara dries, you can give direction to the hairs with the same brush or a separate, dry and clean one. Brush your eyebrows in the usual direction;
• To make this area relevant, comb the hairs up at the base of the eyebrow, lay the rest neatly on its side;
• It is enough to apply only one layer of mascara;
• When used alone, you can lightly press the brush in order to put a little pigment on the skin. However, these movements should not be too strong so as not to leave an ugly blot;
• When using mascara along with shadows or a pencil, first degrease and powder the eyebrows, create a contour and fill the inter-hair space with pigment, put a little mascara at the very end;
• The fiber brush allows you to apply the composition in a single movement, since layering will create an unnatural effect and lead to the formation of lumps on the hairs.
