Trimming

Before onmake eyebrows by removing excess hairs. Splitting eyebrows is called a trimming.

Trimming is necessary even for the most beautiful eyebrows, because without this well-groomed eyebrow type it is impossible to achieve.

Trimming is performed in bright, preferably daylight, otherwise it may happen that onstreet your eyebrows will look like an unshaven male chin

If you have never plucked your eyebrows, it would be advisable to use the services of a specialist in the beauty salon. In the event that you are full of determination and desire, it is quite possible to cope with this procedure yourself.

Eyebrow plucking is not recommended immediately before applying make-up, as it should take time to get rid of the redness of the skin. Trimming procedure:

1. Wet a cotton swab in the alcohol-containing lotion and wipe those skin areas from which the hairs will be removed. This will disinfect the skin and make the hairs more dry, which will facilitate plucking.

2. Comb your eyebrows with a special brush in the direction from below upwards from the nose to the temples.

3. Sharpened pencil( the pencil should be dark, but its shade here is not so important) to draw the desired shape of the eyebrows.

Excessive correction of the shape of the eyebrows should not be - in spite of the concept of the ideal, it is believed that the natural shape of the eyebrows given to a person by nature is best in harmony with his type of face. The exception is small hairs in the nose - they always need to be removed. When forming the outline of eyebrows, there is a rule: the higher the line of eyebrows is, the more open the view, and therefore, the more pleasant the facial expressions as a whole. Therefore, even if you have very curvy eyebrows, the lower edge of the

eyebrows is removed, and only in the most exceptional cases you have to adjust the upper line.

Ensure that the right and left eyebrows are symmetrical.

4. Pull out all the hairs that grow outside the imposed contour. Each extra hair is pulled out with a sharp movement in the direction of growth, grasping the hair with tweezers at the very base and holding the skin( to reduce pain).

For plucking eyebrows it is convenient to use tweezers in the form of scissors.

The tweezers used for trimming should be pre-disinfected.

5. Wipe the area cleared of hairs with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol-containing lotion. Traces of pencil completely wipe, using cosmetic milk. Sites of skin on which the hair has been plucked, grease with cream.
