Eyebrow mascara

Brow mascara is a gel texture with a rich pigment that colors the hairs on the eyebrows and simultaneously fixes them. Today, this decorative product is especially popular because it allows to achieve the effect of natural well-groomed eyebrows, to give them shape and to lay unruly hairs. Brow mascara in its appearance resembles a classic product for eyelashes: contained in a package-tube, it has a moderately liquid consistency and a brush for applying and distributing the product. However, the compositions cannot interchange with each other: mascara for eyebrows has a lighter gel texture and a less saturated content of pigments.

How to use?

After the perfect mascara is already in the cosmetic bag, you should figure out how to dye the hair correctly:

  • To begin, prepare the area - the skin should be cleansed and moisturized, in a word, prepared for applying make-up;
  • Pre-browning is not necessary if you use mascara as a separate decorative product for shaping;
  • Apply the composition with a brush from the base of the eyebrow, moving to its tip in one motion. To create additional volume, comb the hairs upwards, for simple styling - along the direction of growth of the heme saboque;
  • After the mascara has dried, you can give the hair a direction with the same brush or separate, dry and clean. Make eyebrows in the usual direction;
  • To make this area relevant, brush the hairs up at the base of the eyebrow, rest gently on its side;
  • It is enough to put only one layer of ink;
  • When used separately, you can gently press on the brush in order to put a little pigment on the skin. However, these movements should not be too strong to leave an ugly blot;
  • When using mascara with eye shadows or a pencil, first degrease and powder eyebrows, create a contour and fill the hair between the hair with pigment, put a little carcass at the very end;
  • Fiber brush allows you to apply the composition of a single movement, since the multi-layer will create a non-natural effect and lead to the formation of lumps on the hairs.

After using the mascara, you must give it time to dry, after which you can additionally brush your eyebrows with a dry brush. However, with too long capricious eyebrows, makeup artists do not recommend this, because this way you break the fixative structure.
