How to make beautiful eyebrows
Beautiful eyebrows are the dream of many girls. Even the most perfect makeup won’t look complete without well-formed eyebrows. Thanks to the advice of experts and their own experience, the Woman’s Day editorial team will tell you how to properly shape your eyebrows and easily maintain them in perfect condition.
Before you start shaping your eyebrows, it is important to understand which shape is right for you. Each face is unique, but there is a universal scheme according to which even a neophyte of make-up art can easily navigate.
So, to correctly mark the boundaries, start at the point where your eyebrows should start. In parallel, attach a pencil to the wing of the nose and mark a point (indicated by the number 1 in the picture) on the bridge of the nose, in which the beginning of your eyebrow should be. The second point (indicated by the number 3 in the diagram) is the highest border of the brow bend. The third point is the end of the raised eyebrow. The line should go from the wing of the nose and go near the edge of the eye.
Brand Expert Advice Anastasia Beverly Hills Tatyana Zdorovtseva: “A beautiful eyebrow starts 1–2 mm from the inner corner of the eye to the bridge of the nose. If the eyebrows are too close together, it sometimes gives the impression of a frowning face. Eyebrows that are too far apart do not look natural either. The highest point of the eyebrow is defined by a straight line that starts at the edge of the nose and passes through the outer edge of the pupil of the eye. This will be the arch or arch. A line originating at the edge of the nose and passing through the outer corner of the eye defines the end of the eyebrow.
Of course, minor deviations are possible taking into account facial features, but still, in most cases, the formula works. In this case, the bending angle can be completely different and is selected according to personal data. “
An excellent instruction for correcting eyebrows at home was presented by a makeup artist Elena Krygina.

… and what you should never do with your eyebrows
Anastasia Volochkova’s tattoo looks completely unnatural
And finally, it is worth talking about the taboo in matters of eyebrow shaping. First of all, this is, of course, tattooing. This design technique is outdated so long ago that a rare girl now thinks about it. Most often, eyebrows after tattooing will look unnatural, and sometimes even frightening. Woman’sDay agrees with expert Tatyana Zdorovtseva, who expressed her opinion about tattooing and other taboos: “Everything is subjective, of course, but I think eyebrow tattooing is one of the taboos. Most of the work is simply ugly and rudely done. And with such a result, walking for several years, and after all, fashion and trends are changing … Permanent make-up is evil! There may be good examples, but there are very few of them. Thinly plucked eyebrows are another common mistake: it is not fashionable for a long time, it suits very few people, and it is not always easy to restore the eyebrow line after the procedure … I am not a supporter of salon eyebrow dyeing. It seems to me that this has long been outdated: neither a beautiful line, nor an exquisite, harmonious and, most importantly, natural color most often does not work. In any case, it is difficult to achieve such high-quality results as with decorative cosmetics. I am convinced that the eyebrow shaping should be trusted by the makeup artist. “
