Eyebrows also change with age: they can thin out and droop a little. We are ready for these changes, and we know how to correct them with the help of make-up.
Do not overdo it with plucking eyebrows
In particular, this refers to the base of the eyebrow, because it is crucial in creating the shape and color. No matter how fashion changes (microblading, for example, has been replaced by a new technique), eyebrow makeup is unlikely to vanish, and a thicker form will make your face visually younger.
Try to slightly raise the eyebrow tip
Eyebrows droop slightly with age, so you will have to do makeup differently at 20 and at 40. In particular, it is important to “raise” the tip to conceal the age and fatigue. One option is Botox, and the other one is to make the tip of the eyebrow a little brighter than usual. The perfect approach is to color the base of the eyebrow at the nose bridge with a slightly lighter pencil, and then make the tip darker.
Apply eyebrow makeup in the last place
Day or evening makeup, new hair color, facial age changes – all this affects the “choice” of your eyebrows. Of course, you cannot erase your eyebrows and draw completely new ones. However, you can influence their color and saturation.
For example, if you’ve already done dramatic smoky eyes, it’s better to take the darker shade for the eyebrows as well, so that they are not lost on your face. Another thing is when you create a look for a photo shoot (this is a separate direction in the work of makeup artists) – then you can highlight the eyebrows a little stronger or try to make a contrast – for example, combine black eyebrows with blond hair.
However, if you do anti-age makeup, try duller eyebrow shades. Undoubtedly, the eyebrows should be highlighted with a suitable product, but they should not be too prominent, so as not to place a focus on wrinkles. You can also refresh the look if you apply the highlighter on the bone under the eyebrow and in the outer corner of the eye.
Choose the product
Powder will be perfect for beginners and super-thin eyebrows. Sparse hairs can be colored with a pencil. By the way, powder is recommended for anti-age makeup. Lipstick is better if you are skilled in this matter and ready for a saturated dark shade. Mascara is necessary for shape correction and care (it usually contains caring components).
If your problem is graying hairs, then you need to do tinting in the beauty parlor or at home. For home care, you can choose pigmented gels or markers.
Make the hairs softer
With age, hairs become coarser (it’s not only because of the age but also because of the procedures that we do in the course of our lives). Of course, you will not be able to change their structure, but you use a transparent gel to tame them so that they do not stick out in different directions.
