You won’t find perfectly symmetrical eyebrows on almost anyone, so you shouldn’t be surprised if a clear asymmetry in the location of the eyebrows is visible in the mirror. Today, modern cosmetology offers many options for correcting this situation.
Correct eyebrows are one of the conditions for a beautiful look and makeup
Features of eyebrow care
Every woman dreams of beautiful, symmetrical eyebrows that complement her makeup and complete her look. But not everyone has been blessed by nature with a perfect appearance; most modern beauties have to constantly work and improve themselves.
There are a lot of correction methods, but first of all you need to clearly understand what the correct eyebrow lines should be.
On a note . The easiest way to get your eyebrows in the correct shape is to visit a beauty salon. About 90% of them have a similar service in their price list. Already at home, as the hairs grow, you can remove them, adhering to the chosen shape.
If nature has given you fine light hairs, then using tweezers will not give the desired result; here you need to choose more radical options: dyeing, bio-tattooing, and so on.
Symmetry points and correction rules
Eyebrow Tweezers
Using imaginary lines you can correctly place the main points of the eyebrows
Symmetrical eyebrows should correspond to three specific points (you can take a pencil to check):
- The starting point. The pencil should be applied to the wing of the nose and directed towards the sides of the forehead. Ideally, the eyebrow should start on this line.
- Bend or height point. It is very important to choose correctly here, since the slightest mistake can be disastrous. Using a pencil, draw a line from the wing of the nose through the pupil. There should be a bend where it intersects with the eyebrow. It is important that the underside of the eyebrow is perfectly straight.
- End point. It can also be determined using a pencil. In this case, it is applied to the wing of the nose and a line is directed through the outer corner of the eye. At the intersection there will be the desired point.
Using lines you can measure the width of the eyebrow tail
Step-by-step instructions: how to correct a defect using makeup
- Comb your eyebrows with a special brush, styling them naturally. Shape your eyebrows gradually, step by step.
- Using your brow product of choice, draw the bottom line of the one above. This way you will lower it at least visually.
- Draw a line from above with shadow or pencil a little higher to raise the eyebrow that is below. So you kind of “equal” them to each other.
- At the beginning of the brow, use a lighter shade or apply light pressure to achieve a natural transition. Then fill in the main part of the brow.
- At the point where the eyebrows bend, they should also be as similar as possible.
- In some places you can go a little beyond the boundaries of your natural eyebrow by drawing, for example, a bend.
- Carefully go over them with a brush to shade any too sharp lines.
- Use the clear gel to set your brows in place, enhance the durability of the product, and style them the way you want.
- Remember: it's okay if you have slight asymmetry in your eyebrows. Many people won't even notice it, but asymmetry is present in everyone on the planet.
What is asymmetry
Eyebrow shape for oval face
Almost every person has asymmetry in the eyebrows and other parts of the face. For some it is very noticeable, for others it is almost invisible. Sometimes an uneven contour or thickness can significantly affect the appearance: the face will appear tired, rough, and the look itself will appear gloomy and sad. If the shape is too asymmetrical, a woman may even look several years older. Therefore, the question arises of how to correct eyebrow asymmetry.
There are many types of asymmetry, for each of them there is a correction method
Types of asymmetry
The general concept of eyebrow asymmetry implies several problems:
- different eyebrow shapes;
- different thickness;
- different length or width;
- one eyebrow is higher than the other.
On a note. When women go to a salon for tattooing or other correction procedures, the specialist often makes correct symmetrical eyebrows, but they most often look drawn on and unnatural, since people are accustomed to the fact that a correct symmetrical face is practically never found.
Reasons for asymmetry
There are a lot of reasons for the asymmetrical arrangement of eyebrows, among them the most common ones should be highlighted:
- One of the most common reasons for the appearance of an asymmetrical arrangement of eyebrow arches on the face is incorrect or unprofessional correction of the eyebrow shape. Sometimes, when plucking independently and with unskilled craftsmen, it is not possible to place them on the same level. In this case, only time will help: after the hair grows back, the eyebrows will become symmetrical again.
- Another reason that is congenital is the disproportionate shape of the skull or heredity. In this case, the asymmetry will only increase over time.
- An equally rare cause is past illnesses and injuries. Such a defect causes pinching of nerve endings or inflammation of the facial nerve.
After determining the cause of asymmetrical eyebrows, you can decide how to make the eyebrows look the same if they are different.
If one eyebrow is higher than the other
Regardless of the reason that caused the uneven shape of the eyebrows, it is initially necessary to grow it to its maximum length and width in order to successfully perform the correction. Only after this should you contact a professional or adjust the shape yourself. There are a number of ways to create symmetrical eyebrows. When choosing, you should take into account your individual characteristics and capabilities.
Plucking
Eyebrow modeling
This method is suitable for women who have thick and wide asymmetrical eyebrow lines. From such initial material you can create almost any shape, if you wish, experiment periodically.
Important! If the procedure is performed independently, then the tweezers must be disinfected first.
To reduce pain, you can apply a cold compress; chamomile decoction, which should be rubbed on the skin, will help relieve inflammation.
Cosmetics
When you can’t pluck asymmetrical eyebrows, or there simply aren’t enough hairs, you can use decorative cosmetics. This is a lifesaver for every day. Using a pencil, you can emphasize the line, draw missing vegetation with strokes, fill in empty areas with special shadows or powder, making the drawing uniform and symmetrical.
Important! When performing correction, you should use only special eyebrow cosmetics.
Painting or biotattoo
If drawing with cosmetics every day is problematic, you can always dye it with henna or other dyes in the salon. In addition to the hairs, a special composition is used to color an area of the skin, giving the eyebrows the desired color and shape. The duration of such correction is about 3 weeks.
Eyebrow tinting gives beautiful results
Tattoo
When eyebrows have different shapes, tattooing is very effective. Essentially, this is a tattoo with a special ink segment, the effect of which lasts up to 2 years. This option is very convenient for thin, invisible hairs, since the artist re-creates the arches and draws the eyebrows themselves.
Tattooing is an excellent option for rare light eyebrows
The main disadvantage of this method is the high cost of high-quality tattooing. It is important to choose a professional here, since any mistake by the master will be visible and ruin the overall impression. It will be very difficult to fix.
A big breakthrough in cosmetology was the emergence of microblading services. This is almost the same tattoo, only done by hand without a machine.
Microblading is a modern way to correct the eyebrow line.
Eyebrow extensions
A very modern method that has recently begun to gain popularity. New artificial hairs are attached to a special glue. The procedure takes little time, as a result the girl gets beautiful natural eyebrows. But such a correction is short-lived; after a short period (1-2 weeks) correction may be required.
Massage and special exercises
In order to choose the right way to eliminate asymmetry, it is important to understand the reasons that caused it. If the defect appears as a result of pinched nerve endings, then massage and exercises will be quite effective. There are many complexes, for example, exercises from Camilla Wohler, Reinhold Benz, Caron Maggio. The key to success in this case will be regular execution. Massage and exercises will help relax muscles and restore facial symmetry.
Administration of botulinum
To restore asymmetry, it is sometimes advisable to inject botuloxin-based injections, for example, Botox, Dysport, Lantox, into the frontal muscle and muscle tissue responsible for wrinkling the eyebrows. They will straighten the muscle, it will take the correct position. This is an effective method that will help restore wrinkled muscles without complex surgical interventions.
There are many types of asymmetry, but each of them has its own method of correction.
Removing pigment with remover
Remover is a substance based on acid, alkali or salt that removes pigment particles from the skin. The procedure itself is generally reminiscent of the process of applying permanent makeup. To penetrate the composition into the layers where the pigment is located, a slight loosening of the skin surface is sufficient, so the work can be performed without the use of anesthesia. The healing process is sometimes accompanied by the formation of crusts, dryness and flaking of the skin in the area where the correction was performed.
The cost of this manipulation varies depending on the amount of work from 2000 rubles to 5000 rubles.
Expert advice
To competently and quickly cope with the asymmetry of eyebrow lines yourself, you should follow the simple rules of makeup artists:
- before straightening your eyebrows, especially using tattoos or paints, you need to clearly understand what shape you should get;
- It is best to pluck yourself before bed or a few hours before going outside;
- Before turning to a professional, it is important to make sure of his qualifications, education and experience;
- when plucking, the main correction should be carried out along the hair growth line; it is better to remove from above only those hairs that protrude from the line;
- It is better to choose shadows or a pencil not by the color of the roots, but by the shade of the shadow that falls from the hair;
- The idea of drawing a line on skin without hairs is a failure and looks vulgar; it is advisable to emphasize existing eyebrows.
The choice of a solution that will help get rid of asymmetry depends primarily on the cause of the defect. What to do if the eyebrows are different needs to be decided for a specific person. Each case is individual and unique. Initially, it is worth trying to eliminate the problem using decorative methods, as well as cure it if the asymmetry is associated with diseases. Only after this is it advisable to resort to injections or plastic surgery.
Triangular face
Straight eyebrows are not recommended in this case, as they visually sharpen facial features. But the curved shape will help create their harmony. The eyebrow line should be smooth along its entire length.
To begin, find the top point of the eyebrow and raise it a little. On the contrary, the head and tail need to be lowered a little. We connect the points with a smooth arc from above and below and remove excess hairs. Make the tail thin.
Rounded eyebrows also suit a square face.
