Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought something was strange? Sometimes it's just little things – but it still stands out. One of these things can be our eyebrows, because they make up a narrow sea. We'll tell you what mistakes you could ruin your eyebrows without even realizing it.
Hairspray
Sure, hairspray might be cheaper than a real eyebrow gel. But it is not better. Hairspray fixes the eyebrows so strongly that you have a lot of effort to remove your make-up. And the more you rub your eyebrows, the faster individual hairs fall out. The result: gaps in the eyebrows. And of course we want to avoid that. In addition, hairspray is not exactly skin-friendly …
Pluck during the period
There are days when eyebrow plucking hurts a lot. And there are days when we feel asleep. When we have our periods or are in poor health, we are more sensitive to pain. Of course, this also applies to the eyebrows. Whoever plucks in pain can, in the heat of the moment, take too much away here and there so that the whole thing is over faster. Not cool! Until that has grown again, it can take a few weeks for the country …
Too close to the mirror
The thicker the mirror, the better we see the mini hair that has to go. It's logical! Eh, no! If you hang super close to the magnifying mirror while plucking your brows, you can no longer see how they relate to each other. In addition, you have no impression of what the result does on the entire face. If you accidentally pluck too much from an eyebrow, the face can quickly look asymmetrical. Our tip: Always keep an arm's length away from the mirror. You can of course check again afterwards in the magnifying mirror whether everything is really gone. But just watch, don't touch!
You are putting too much pressure on
If you have ever wondered why your eyebrows look totally "painted" after filling them in, then we have the answer here: You are exerting too much pressure. This can happen quickly, especially with very soft eyebrow pencils. Instead of natural eyebrows, we have striking bar brows. If you cannot assess the pressure as well, you should best use products with harder leads. They also don't wear out so quickly.
Products too dark
The most common mistake when it comes to eyebrows: you use colors that are too dark. If we resort to products that are much too dark, the brows immediately look super unnatural and much too made up. In general, the brows always look the most natural if you use two different colors. A shade lighter than your own brow hair and a shade darker. You use the lighter color in the front area of the brows, the darker one for the rear part. The whole thing looks really natural due to the color gradient.
