Precautions when painting
Despite the hypoallergenicity of Estelle, declared by the manufacturer, it is recommended to test for skin sensitivity to the components. Do not dye if redness, burning or itching occurs. You can try to choose a different coloring agent.
Prepare everything you need to help if the paste gets on the mucous membranes of the eyes or unaffected areas of the skin. Clean water and dry sponges may be useful.
Protect the clear skin around the eyes by applying thick cream, Vaseline or special eye patches. Follow the recommended exposure time in the instructions. Washing off ahead of time or increasing the painting period can negatively affect the final result and cause irritation. In case of injuries, scratches, small cuts, you should not dye your eyebrows or eyelashes to avoid unpleasant consequences.
Quick coloring of eyebrows with shadows or powder
Shadows for shaping eyebrows are chosen to be matte and not free-flowing. To apply, you will need a flat brush with an angled tip. Before dyeing, eyebrows should be combed against hair growth. Lift the hairs and apply a small amount of shadow.
For thin and sparse eyebrows, tinting powder is ideal.
Apply pigment to the borders a tone darker than the base color. Then gently shade it and comb the hairs again in the direction of growth. You can remove excess with a cotton swab and trim the contour. Use powder to emphasize expressiveness by drawing the lower border with it.
Powder for tinting eyebrows has recently appeared on the decorative cosmetics market. It is ideal for thin and sparse eyebrows, as it tightly fills the gaps between the hairs and visually adds volume. Apply in the same way as eyeshadow.
