The shape you give to your line can even transform you entirely and give you a totally different expression depending on the look it has.

For those who are tired of working their eyebrows every morning with a pencil, a brow mascara, wax or any other dedicated make-up product, but who do not necessarily want to go through a radical solution such as permanent tattooing: coloring is an ideal option that offers long-lasting results. With it, your eyebrows are beautiful for several weeks, without the need for touch-ups. Only downside: this kind of technique relies on products which, although designed for application to this sensitive area that is the face, remain chemicals. A major problem in the beauty routine for lovers of naturalness.

How to dye eyebrows naturally?

Henna eyebrow coloring: the specifics

Unlike more classic hair colors, henna coloring not only dye the hair but will also act on the skin. It also colors it during the process, which offers a result quite similar to a microshading which creates a shading effect by drawing a multitude of tiny dots with blended contours on the skin at the place of the eyebrow. The eyebrow line then appears thicker and more homogeneous. If the technique does not give more body to the eyebrows like that of the brow lamination which creates the impression that they are really fuller, it will still have this advantage compared to a more classic eyebrow tint. As for the outfit, the color lasts between four and six weeks on the hair, while it offers this ombré look on the skin for about fifteen days.
Note, however, that the particular effect on the epidermis depends on the quality of each person’s skin and that in the event of very dilated pores or dry or damaged skin, the color may not hold very well. . One thing to take into account if you have very thin eyebrows.

For who ?
