How to fix bad eyebrows? Here are 12 ways to save them

When many girls put on makeup, they just brush over their eyebrows without considering the eyebrow shape and face shape. They think this part is not important. That's a big mistake! Whether the eyebrows are drawn properly or not affects the overall makeup more than a little. Now, the editor of No. 5.com will show you how to remedy the bad eyebrows. Here are 12 ways to save them.

How to fix bad eyebrow drawing

1. Accidentally draw square eyebrows

If the eyebrows are drawn too hard and too heavily, they will appear too angular, fake, or even a little fierce. And the whole eye makeup will also add a bit of stiffness.

Remedy: For a good eyebrow, the eyebrow plays a vital role. The shape of the eyebrow can also determine the quality of the eyebrow shape, so we must carefully handle the eyebrow naturally, blend it, and avoid drawing harsh and obvious lines.

Use a pencil, flat powder brush, or eyebrow brush to apply lightly with small strokes. After finishing, you can use some powder to blend the eyebrows to achieve a natural effect.

2. The end of the eyebrow is too long

Some people probably want to achieve an effect that is both delicate and tough, so they will deliberately draw a thinner line at the end of the eyebrow. However, if the curvature is not well controlled, it will look listless and unnatural, and the whole face will appear longer!

Remedy: Tilt the eyebrow pencil diagonally from the nostril to the eye, and continue to extend it to the right place (usually the brow bone), which is the best position for the end of the eyebrow!

3. The brow peak is too sharp

Such a "hard" style of eyebrows is not something that ordinary people can handle. Moreover, the eyebrows are thin on the sides and thick in the middle, and the height of the eyebrows is very weird, which makes them look super fierce at first glance!

Remedy: Start from the direction of the nostril and pull upwards towards the center of the eye, which is the brow peak. Then, use an eyebrow brush to comb downwards, and then use an eyebrow pencil to lightly apply, slightly emphasizing the brow peak, and then smooth it upwards, so that it looks more natural.

4. Lack of eyebrow shape

There is a bunch of hair on the eyes, just like wearing clothes for a long time and getting fuzzy but not willing to change them, it is so ugly! For those lazy people who don't like to take care of their eyebrows, even if your face is perfect, overgrown and unkempt eyebrows will greatly reduce your image. This is a typical "no eyebrow shape", which will ruin the whole look.

Remedy: Prepare your eyebrow trimmer and eyebrow scissors, and trim them every three to five days to remove excess hair and keep your eyebrows clean.

5. The sparse eyebrows are exposed

This is also caused by not drawing the eyebrows carefully. If the eyebrows are not filled evenly, if you look closely at the eyebrows and the edges of the eyebrows, there will still be some short and light hairs sticking out, which affects the appearance.

Remedy: Use an eyebrow pencil or brush dipped in eyebrow powder to fill in the blemishes, and then comb them with an eyebrow brush.

6. The highlight on the brow bone is too bright

Many people like to put highlights on their brow bones when putting on makeup to make their eyes look deeper, but this makes their eyebrows appear more abrupt and unnatural.

Remedy: Choose a concealer that is one shade lighter than your skin color and apply it near your eyebrows. Be careful to control the amount you apply.

7. Eyebrows are drawn too thick and the color is too dark

I believe that for girls with sparse eyebrows, there are enough detours. They choose the wrong color of eyebrow pencil, or they are too heavy, and they end up looking like Crayon Shin-chan, which also makes a lot of jokes.

Remedy: If you just want to wear a deep and natural makeup when you go out, unless it is a special occasion or a special need, you can buy a well-colored eyebrow cream to create a subtle color effect. Even thick eyebrows can look good.

8. Random eyebrows like patchwork

The most embarrassing part about drawing eyebrows is the uneven coloring, which results in varying degrees of dark and light, and mottled appearance, giving the impression that the eyebrows are only roughly half-drawn and not finished.

Remedy: If you want to draw eyebrows, draw them completely! The eyebrows, the end of the eyebrows, and the eyebrows should all be colored, otherwise the charm will be greatly reduced.

9. Choosing the wrong eyebrow pencil shade

This is a common mistake made by many novices. Either the color is too dark or too light, which will give people a dirty feeling.

Remedy: The color of your eyebrows should match your hair color. Generally, eyebrows should be one shade lighter than your hair color. If you really can't find an eyebrow pencil that matches your hair color, choose two colors that are closest to yours and mix them together! For example, if you have brown hair, choose a mixture of coffee and gray coffee. Make sure the colors are blended naturally so that the boundaries are not visible.

10. The colors are mixed completely wrong

Too much pursuit of the eyebrow tip effect, using uncoordinated colors to draw the edge line, neglecting the overall shape of the eyebrow makeup. This can be seen at a glance that there are obvious traces of painting.

Remedy: To create a natural, smooth brow tip, start with an eyebrow pencil and draw a bottom line from the base of your brow. Then use a brush to blend the two tones upwards into your brow.

11. Uneven eyebrows

This embarrassing situation also happens to many girls. When drawing eyebrows, a thick line appears mostly due to smudging. It is more terrifying to draw a deep line in the middle.

Remedy: Whether you are used to using eyebrow pencil, eyebrow powder or eyebrow cream, you need to use a variety of tools for different parts and fine hairs. Finally, the effect will be better if you lightly brush along the direction of the eyebrows.

12. Eyebrows are not combed properly

Some people are born with long and dense eyebrows that don't grow neatly. When the wind blows or when they change clothes, their eyebrows become crooked. It seems like they can't keep a fixed shape, which is quite annoying.

Remedy: People with this type of eyebrows need to always have an eyebrow comb ready. When drawing eyebrows, brush them in the direction of their growth. Of course, the most efficient way is to apply eyebrow glue to fix the eyebrow shape without being too rigid. For daily makeup, the simplest and most natural way is to start from the middle of the eyebrow and slowly draw the shape of the eyebrow to the end. Then gently fill in and scan with an eyebrow pencil, and finally use an eyebrow brush to brush the entire eyebrow.

The correct steps for drawing eyebrows

Step 1: Use an eyebrow pencil to draw an outline. Pay attention to the three points in a straight line. Try to keep the end of the eyebrow, the eyes and the nose in a straight line. This will look more natural. Beginners should not use too heavy a stroke.

Step 2: After drawing the outline, use an eyebrow pencil to fill in the end of the eyebrow, paying attention to the intensity.

Step 3: Prepare three colors of eyebrow powder, use the darkest color to fill the middle of the eyebrow, be careful not to draw to the eyebrow head, you will use a lighter color to transition later. The last step is to draw the lightest color in the middle on the eyebrow head and lightly brush it with a brush.

How to choose eyebrow products

"eyebrow pencil"

Eyebrow pencil is the most convenient to use. The eyebrow pencil core is moderately soft, easy to color, and can smoothly draw eyebrows. Eyebrow pencil can draw eyebrows clearly, and can also clearly outline, and is also suitable for carrying makeup. Eyebrow pencil is better than eyebrow powder in color rendering. Eyebrow pencil is more suitable for girls with incomplete eyebrows or sparse eyebrows. For girls with thick eyebrows, eyebrow pencil can also be used to adjust the eyebrows. Of course, eyebrow pencil also has disadvantages, that is, the eyebrows drawn look stiff and not soft, the strength is difficult to control, and the eyebrow pencil contains wax, which may be removed in a high temperature environment. When using eyebrow pencil, pay attention that each stroke should not be longer than the natural eyebrows. After drawing, use an eyebrow brush to smudge it, which will appear more natural. The types of eyebrow pencils are divided into duckbill type (first on the right), pencil type (second on the right), round (left), etc. according to the pen head.

Duckbill eyebrow pencils are also called flat-head eyebrow pencils. You can change the angle to draw different strokes. You can draw the widest strokes horizontally and the thinnest strokes diagonally. Shu Uemura's automatic chopper eyebrow pencil is this type. Generally, professional stylists and makeup artists will use flat-head eyebrow pencils. Pencil-shaped eyebrow pencils are usually sharpened with a pencil sharpener to have a very conical tip, which is very suitable for detail processing and drawing individual eyebrows. If you draw the whole, it may not be as natural as the flat-head eyebrow pencil mentioned above. Round-head eyebrow pencils can easily color and outline the eyebrow shape, which can help draw a thinner eyebrow tail. If you have fewer and shorter eyebrows, you can get a round-head eyebrow pencil.

『Liquid eyebrow pencil』

Liquid eyebrow pencil has good color rendering and detail processing capabilities, and can overcome the problem of traditional eyebrow pencils being easy to fall off and not lasting. It is very suitable for use in hot summer weather and can be paired with eyebrow powder to create a natural effect.

『Eyebrow powder』

If your eyebrows are neat, well-shaped, and have a normal density, and you only need to coordinate the coloring or create a misty eyebrow look, then eyebrow powder is more suitable. Eyebrow powder is characterized by no brush strokes, soft and natural, and can fill the gaps between eyebrows. It is not difficult for beginners to learn. However, the contour of the eyebrow shape is not easy to show, and it is easy to look thick if it is not drawn well. When choosing eyebrow powder, choose products with smooth and delicate powder that are easy to smudge. If it is obvious that it falls off during use, it means that the quality is relatively poor. When choosing, try to choose two or three-color eyebrow pencils according to your hair color.

『Eyebrow tint』

Suitable for girls with thick eyebrows and long eyebrows. Eyebrow tint is characterized by its strong shaping effect. Eyebrow tint can be dyed into the desired eyebrow color, and the brush head can be used to help shape the eyebrows during the eyebrow dyeing process. Eyebrow tint is more refreshing than eyebrow pencil and eyebrow powder, does not fall off, and has better durability. In fact, eyebrow tint is especially suitable for girls who have dyed their hair. Imagine a head of yellow hair with black eyebrows. At this time, eyebrow tint is suitable for coordinating hair color. Generally speaking, eyebrow tint is used after the eyebrow pencil outlines the shape. During use, you must master the amount and strength, and choose a color that is lighter than the hair. Of course, if you want to create a perfect eyebrow shape, you can use one or more eyebrow makeup products in combination. The normal steps should be eyebrow pencil/liquid eyebrow pencil→eyebrow powder→eyebrow tint.
