The correct selection of eyebrow shape in harmony with the shape of the face will emphasize the clarity of the oval and help balance the features. For example, for a heart-shaped face, flying eyebrows with a kink are suitable, which will make a wide forehead visually smaller.

How to fix very thin eyebrows
In order for thin eyebrows to acquire a beautiful curve and delight the eyes with their shade, thickness and shine, you need to devote a sufficient amount of time to caring for them.
To correct thin eyebrows, you can resort to the following procedures:
- Tattooing: here the artist, working with a special tool with small blades at the tip, draws individual strokes that imitate hairs, introducing a coloring pigment under the skin. Here it is important not to contact the first master you come across; you need to find a cosmetology salon where professionals with experience, education, and full compliance with all antiseptic conditions work.
- Good makeup: here you will need to purchase shadows and a good quality pencil. It is very important to choose suitable shades that will look as natural as possible on your face. The only thing for whom this method may not give the desired effect is girls with very light hair.
- Use of natural oils (castor, burdock, jojoba, olive, peach, almond). These oils should be used on a regular basis, carefully massaging the skin while applying them.
- Coloring: This method is suitable for women with eyebrows of any color. The main thing is to choose a good paint of the desired shade. If you have doubts about the correct choice, you need to contact a competent cosmetologist, who will not only color the hairs, but will first help correct the shape of the arches, making it ideal. At home, you can use natural dyes, for example, henna.
Beautiful thin eyebrows may well be a reality. It is important to constantly take care of your own face, use vegetable oils, massage, if necessary, color them with special products, or correct them with decorative cosmetics.

Learn the 15 main mistakes in makeup and never make them again!
We wear less makeup than usual
To look good in a photograph, it is not at all necessary to apply all the shades of eyeshadow at once, glue on false eyelashes and line your lips with a pencil. Makeup artists, on the contrary, recommend using less cosmetics than in everyday life. It is only important to disguise the flaws and even out the tone.
The best way to do this is to use a makeup sponge. We do not apply the foundation directly to it, but to the brush. Then, with the help of sports, we take the required amount of masking cream from our hands and apply it to the face.
It is recommended to use liquid highlighter according to the same principle: first on the hand, and then on the face.
Everything about what a highlighter is and why it is needed is collected in this article.
It is not necessary to follow all stages of makeup
In everyday life, when going to work or a date, it is important to apply makeup in such a way that it remains in perfect shape for as long as possible. And for photography, it is enough to hide flaws while maintaining the freshness of your face. Therefore, it is not necessary to use a makeup primer or fixer. It is enough to even out the tone of the face and define the cheekbones.
Fuzzy lines
We all remember facial contouring, which was brought into fashion by Kim Kardashian.
However, this make-up option is not only already outdated, but also very mature, so you shouldn’t repeat it if you don’t want to look a couple of years older. Light eye and lip makeup, without clear lines, is the ideal solution for a gentle summer selfie. And remember that contouring is a professional type of makeup that is extremely difficult to replicate on your own. Any imperfections will be visible in the photograph.
We use highlighter and bronzing powder
Professional photographers assure that half the success of a successful photo is good lighting, so it is better to take a selfie in the morning or afternoon. It is also worth complementing your makeup with highlighter and bronzing powder. These products will help to “highlight” and “darken” certain areas, making the skin radiant and fresh in the photo.
Using a light highlighter (it is advisable to choose a liquid one with a loose texture) we highlight the cheekbones, the forehead area along the hairline, the tip of the nose, and the center of the chin. Apply bronzing powder with a brush to the cheekbones just below the highlighter.

Matte shadows
Even if you really want to apply sparkles or shimmering shadows to your eyes, it is better to choose matte neutral shades. These look more natural and fresh in photographs.
Pencil instead of eyeliner
Of course, if you draw arrows on your eyes every day and have perfected their shape, you don’t need to give them up. But especially for photographs, it is not recommended to experiment and draw arrows, since any inaccuracy in the photograph is very noticeable. It's better to use a dark pencil over neutral matte eyeshadow. It is applied to the moving eyelid close to the eyelashes and shaded with a brush.
Pay attention to your eyebrows
Sloppy eyebrows are especially noticeable in selfies, so try to make them look decent. Nowadays, combed-up hair is in trend. This option looks fresh and modern.

How to get an even complexion without makeup. What cosmetics will help even out your complexion?
When choosing products to create an even tone, focus on the look you want to create, but also consider your skin type.
- Makeup base
Using a primer or base is the key to obtaining a natural, even tone. For oily skin, special mattifying bases have been developed that can control treacherous shine; for dry skin, moisturizing ones have been developed. The base fills pores and wrinkles, smoothing the skin texture and thereby ensuring an even distribution of the foundation. It also prolongs the durability of makeup.

- Concealer
Applying foundation is an important step in makeup. An even tone is a must for any makeup. This is the ideal “canvas” for scarlet lips, smoky eyes and unusual art wings. When choosing a foundation, do not be lazy to test it on the skin: evaluate the texture, comfort of application, durability and, most importantly, the shade: it should not be darker or lighter than the natural complexion.

- Powder
The powder can be used at the very end of makeup: it perfectly fixes the result and ensures its durability. However, it can also be applied as a stand-alone product: in this case, choose an option that provides dense coverage. If you have problem skin, the product should contain antibacterial ingredients. For dry skin, a powder with a weightless finish is suitable.

- Concealers and correctors
These products are necessary for correcting local imperfections: for example, a green corrector successfully neutralizes redness, and a reddish pink corrector successfully neutralizes dark circles under the eyes. Foundation is not suitable for these purposes. To disguise dark circles, a special product is required - it will perform not only camouflaging functions, but also moisturizing ones.
