What to choose for eyebrows. Budget eyebrows

Makeup artists recommend this product to beginners - those who are just learning how to do eyebrow makeup. Pencils are convenient because you can literally tint your eyebrows on the go: additional tools (for example, brushes and brushes) are not needed for this. At the same time, you need to be careful when using an eyebrow pencil. If you draw a line without lifting your hand, and even with strong pressure, the eyebrows will look unnatural. Everyone will see that they are not yours. To prevent this from happening, choose a product with a soft, “creamy” lead and do not sharpen it too hard. Draw with a pencil not lines, but light, barely noticeable strokes - then the result will look as natural as possible.

  • Eyebrow shadows

Powder textures are ideal for creating softer, unobtrusive eyebrow makeup. It is easy to use shadows to give your eyebrows a clearer shape (use an angled brush for this), to “fill in” their contour and thereby make them thicker. The result is easier to adjust: unlike pencil lines, strokes made with shadows can be easily shaded. By the way, Maybelline was able to combine eyeshadow and pencil and created Brow Satin with a powder stick.

  • Lipstick, eyebrow wax

Products with a viscous, dense texture are suitable for those who need long-lasting results throughout the day. With the help of lipsticks and wax, you can, firstly, make the color of the eyebrows more bright, secondly, carefully “arrange” the hairs if the eyebrows are fluffy and “unruly”, and thirdly, firmly fix their shape. The durability of these products is very high: they withstand heat and humidity and do not wear off during the day. Thus, lipsticks and wax are good for their versatility. Interestingly, such products, unlike pencils and shadows, help make eyebrows more voluminous - due to the fact that their texture envelops the hairs.

  • Gel for eyebrows

Pigmented gel is an option for those who are generally satisfied with their eyebrow shape, but would like to give them volume, “set” and fix them. For those whom nature has blessed with thick, wide and bright eyebrows, a transparent gel is suitable. These eyebrows only need light fixation to keep them looking neat.

  • Eyebrow highlighter

Highlighters were also produced separately for eyebrow makeup. They are used to make the emphasis on the eyebrows even more noticeable. Highlighter is used to tint the skin around the eyebrow contour above and below. Thanks to this, the outlines of the eyebrows become clearer, and a stronger contrast is created with the color of the tinted hairs. This product is for “advanced” beautyholics who are willing to spend a lot of effort and time on shaping their eyebrows. Pay attention to the double-sided Eye Brow Push-Up Bra pencil from NYX Professional Makeup with a highlighter on one end.

When using several eyebrow products, you need to know the rules for combining them with each other. They can only be layered in the following order: pencil, powder, lipstick, wax, gel.

The topic of eyebrows has been of concern to all girls in the country for a very long time. After many years of fashion for “threads” and tattooing, the awareness of all the beauty and charm of well-groomed, natural, “sable” eyebrows has finally come. Several years of diligent growth flew by unnoticed. The time has come to model, style, color and generally modernize eyebrows in every possible way.

The beauty market reacted instantly. Eyebrow products began to appear in all market segments from mass market to luxury. Nowadays it is difficult to find a cosmetic company that has not presented at least one product for eyebrows.

It is not possible to review all existing means due to the variety of forms and manufacturers. The happy owners of the Krygina Box “Eyebrow products under 500 rubles” have already been able to try and appreciate many products, and in this post we decided to focus on decent budget products, the quality of which is in no way inferior to their expensive counterparts.

The first logical question that arises after growing your natural, wide eyebrows is: what to do next with them? You can’t just leave them “earing under the sign of the Moon.” Eyebrows need to be combed, shaped, styled and, if necessary, colored. For these purposes, the beauty market offers a huge variety of products: transparent fixing gels, tinted mascaras, markers, powders, pencils, shadows, waxes and even lipsticks.

The most indispensable thing in eyebrow care is, of course, the Makeup2Makeup brush, and the most popular eyebrow product is still a regular pencil. It is available in almost any women's cosmetic bag. A huge variety of pencils can be found on the budget products market. They differ in the stylus (shape and hardness), sharpening method (sharpener or automatic pencil), and the presence or absence of a brush in the set. Hard and sharp pencils easily remove missing hairs, while soft ones fill the space between them.

Stylists and makeup artists around the world today pay special attention to eyebrows. This trend, naturally, was immediately reflected in the cosmetics market - in recent years, many specialized eyebrow products have appeared. You've definitely never seen such diversity before!

Therefore, we decided to help you understand the main products designed to create the shape and color of eyebrows, and also decide which of this arsenal you need specifically.

Before talking about cosmetics, it is worth noting that your cosmetic bag must have tweezers and an eyebrow comb. Tweezers are necessary to remove excess hairs on the bridge of the nose and correct the eyebrow line. Even if you always make corrections exclusively with a specialist in the studio, you will still need this tool at hand. After all, your eyebrows should always be well-groomed and neat.


If you are going to do eyebrow makeup, you will definitely need a brush. Double brushes are very popular and are used for eyebrows and eyelashes. One part of such a brush is a comb, which is used to separate the eyelashes after applying mascara, and the second part is a rather dense nylon brush, which allows you to comb and style your eyebrows.

If you think this is an unnecessary thing, just try combing part of your eyebrow, which is closer to the bridge of the nose, in the upward direction, and the tail is slightly upward and towards the temple. You will notice the difference, because properly combed eyebrows help open up your eyes and make them more open.

Also, by combing your eyebrows after applying pencil or eyeshadow, you remove excess product, distribute the color evenly, and give your eyebrows a natural look.

Now we can start talking about various cosmetics designed specifically for eyebrows.


Eyebrow shadows

When wide eyebrows came into fashion, there was a need to create these eyebrows and maintain them in a beautiful way.

Of course, for thin eyebrow arches, which were welcomed before, shadows were not at all suitable, but on thick eyebrows shadows do an excellent job of giving expressiveness. Eyebrows tinted with the help of shadows (if they are tinted correctly, of course) look well-groomed, have a more saturated color and make the entire appearance brighter, while maintaining the naturalness of the image.

What should eyebrow shadows be? It is advisable that you use a specialized product for your makeup, especially if you need good longevity. Regular eye shadows stick worse to hair and skin; if you use them, the best option would be to fix the result with a gel. Remember, eyebrow shadows are used only matte, pearlescent, glitter may only be appropriate for evening holiday makeup .

Today, a huge number of eyebrow shadows are sold. It is very convenient to use palettes that contain two or more natural shades. If you want to achieve naturalness, choose a shade exactly to match the roots of your hair or a tone lighter or darker. We devoted an entire article to choosing the right shade in our blog.

You will also need an angled brush for easy application of shadows.. To begin, outline the lower border, this will give the eyebrows clarity and accuracy. Then paint the tip of the eyebrow, the break line, as well as the upper border in the area of ​​the eyebrow head. Use neat strokes to fill the space of the entire eyebrow.

To further highlight the eyebrows, apply kajal or a light corrector under the lower contour of the eyebrows and blend with a brush. Afterwards you can apply some light shadows. This effect will visually raise the eyebrow and
will highlight it.

The pencil is still the leader in popularity among women of all ages. This familiar and practical option has several features. Which pencil you need depends on how your eyebrows grow and the result you want to achieve.

The pencil has one ability that other products lack - it can be used to draw small strokes that will imitate eyebrow hairs. Using this technique, you can fill in the gaps in the eyebrow, as well as give it greater thickness, slightly extend a short eyebrow, etc.

For such tasks, a hard, well-sharpened pencil is best suited. Softer pencils allow you to create well-pigmented, thick lines. They are best used when you want to give your naturally thick eyebrows the desired shade. On sparse eyebrows, simply painting over the empty space with a thick layer of pencil will look downright unnatural.

Many pencils contain wax and other components that make this coloring method one of the most durable. Moreover, a pencil with wax allows you to set the direction of the hairs and fix it after combing with a brush.

Makeup artists suggest combining the capabilities of pencil and shadows in eyebrow makeup. Most often, this option is the best. Using a pencil, use neat small strokes to fill in the gaps and extend the eyebrow if necessary. Also, a pencil is often used to give the eyebrows a clearer contour, and the inside is filled, in turn, with shadows.

Also, depending on the characteristics of your facial features, you can use a pencil to darken the head of the eyebrow, the tail of the eyebrow, the culmination of the eyebrow (the arching area), and also outline the lower contour of the eyebrow arches. In this case, you can add the main color to the eyebrows using shadows. In general, there is room for experimentation.


Eyebrow felt-tip pen/marker

This product will appeal to those girls who love the effect of tattooing, or simply bright and expressive eyebrow lines. If you use a felt-tip pen or marker yourself, then you first need to draw the eyebrows along the lower contour, form the tip of the eyebrow and the bend line, and draw the rest of the eyebrow with strokes in the direction of hair growth.

The main feature of this makeup is its durability and color saturation.. However, it is important to understand that a felt-tip pen leaves less room for error, it cannot be shaded like eyeshadow, and the saturation can be reduced by combing with a brush.

You can combine the use of a felt-tip pen with shadows or a pencil. In this case, the lower contour is outlined with a felt-tip pen, and the body of the eyebrow is filled in with shadows or a pencil.

Gel for eyebrows
This product has one distinctive advantage - it allows you to set the desired direction of the hairs and fix the shape for a long period. Today you can find different products on sale - transparent and tinted gels.

The transparent option is suitable if you have dark, thick eyebrows and only need to fix their shape, giving a well-groomed appearance. The product also allows you to fix eyebrow makeup done with eye shadow or a pencil.

The tinting gel gives the eyebrows not only shape, but also the necessary shade. Such gels can have different degrees of color saturation, so you can find both the most natural and bright options. For those with sparse eyebrows, as well as those with significant gaps or short eyebrows that need to be visually grown, it is better to give preference to a pencil.

Every woman should pay attention to her eyebrows. They are the ones who can highlight the beauty of the eyes and make the look more expressive. A large assortment of cosmetics from different manufacturers will allow you to give your eyebrows the desired shape, color and carefully fix them.

The task of any cosmetic product for eyebrows is to give them an attractive and well-groomed appearance. Many manufacturers include such products in their line so that a woman can do effective makeup on her own. However, “camouflage” alone is not enough. Eyelashes and eyebrows need comprehensive care, which is provided by all kinds of oils, serums and gels.

By combining medicinal and decorative compositions, you can achieve:

  1. A beautiful eyebrow shade that matches your face and hair color.
  2. Makeup completeness. Even if you apply a whole arsenal of cosmetics, your face will not look well-groomed if you do not pay due attention to your eyebrows.
  3. Clarity of lines and their elegant drawing.
  4. The freshness of the face, its neatness.
  5. Moderate thickness of eyebrows, their smoothness and even shape.

Properly selected cosmetics can work real miracles, transforming not only the look, but the face as a whole. To obtain a lasting eyebrow color that will last a long time, you can use special paints. Estelle, Rocolor, Igora products are distinguished by their high quality and affordable price.
