When and how to dye your eyebrows?

Not yet ready to get started with permanent makeup? But, do you want to find a way to have a makeup effect in all circumstances? So why not try eyebrow coloring? 

This technique brought up to date with the “Bleached Eyebrow” phenomenon can be an interesting solution, but which must be carried out according to the rules of the art. 

Why have your eyebrows colored? 

The main objective of eyebrow coloring is to intensify your look by highlighting the natural line of your brow bone. The ideal, before coloring, is to opt for eyebrow waxing for a sublimated and more intense look. 

However, some women also want to dye their eyebrows to match the color of their hair with that of their eyebrows. However, be careful, opinions differ on this subject. As a general rule, it is not advisable to use the exact same shade as your hair. It is rather recommended to use a shade a little lighter, if you have brown hair, and on the contrary a little darker, if you have blonde hair. 

For an enhanced natural effect, choosing the right shade is essential, especially if you don't want to have overly defined eyebrows. 

On the other hand, the advantage of coloring your eyebrows is that you can benefit from a makeup effect in all circumstances, even at the beach or at the swimming pool. 

Finally, currently, particularly with the fashion for Bleached Eyebrows, ephemeral colorings (for the duration of an evening) are on the rise. You can therefore dare to use colors and extravagance to enhance and intensify your look for a festive event. 

Eyebrow coloring: are there any contraindications? 

Dying your eyebrows is generally not recommended for women with sparse eyebrows, since the coloring will not color the skin. As a result, hairless areas will be more visible. This is why permanent makeup is often offered to people who have sparse eyebrows, because this technique is more suitable for filling in empty areas with a result that remains quite natural. 

Also be careful if you have particularly sensitive skin. Before using a product, do a test on an area of ​​your body to see how your skin reacts to the product. If you experience itching, rinse thoroughly and try to find a gentler product.
