In our “Help Case” section we tell you what to do in case of various beauty incidents. How to fix a broken nail, revive dried mascara or remove foundation from clothes – we will answer one question in each material. Next is a problem that each of us has encountered in one way or another: unsuccessful eyebrow correction. If you play with tweezers, how can you remove paint from the skin, correct the color of the paint or enlarge eyebrows?
How to remove paint from eyebrows and skin?
When tinting your eyebrows at home, unexpected things can happen – the paint will be too dark or, on the contrary, too light. In the latter case, you can reapply the product, but in the former there is almost no rewind option.
On the Internet you can find a lot of recommendations on how to remove paint from eyebrows and skin. Most often they contain lemon juice and hydrogen peroxide. But the only reliable way to remove eyebrow dye is with a remover. It is a substance that gently removes pigment. The remover differs from home remedies in that it does not contain hazardous substances that are harmful to the skin. Typically, remover is used by professionals during the procedure – to lighten the beginning of the eyebrow or to remove paint from the skin if it has fallen out of the desired shape.
After in-salon eyebrow tinting, technicians often recommend avoiding peels and scrubs in this area to prolong the effect of the procedure. Hence the solution: If the paint is too saturated, you can resort to (important!) delicate peeling. It is sensitive because the skin in this area is already injured. Therefore, there is no need to additionally pulse with large scrubbing particles. After peeling, the skin will peel off along with the pigment, and after a few days the shade will become much paler.
What to do if the paint does not wash off?
If the paint is not removed by the remover and it takes too long to wait for the peeling effect, makeup comes to our rescue. It’s time to try it out and try to lighten your eyebrows using cosmetics – fortunately, this technique is now in trend. You will need a thick foundation or concealer and an eyebrow pencil. When you equalize your tone, apply the product in a thicker layer not only on your face but also on your eyebrows. Dust this area with powder and apply a layer of foundation if necessary. You can leave your eyebrows as they are and fix them with a transparent or light gel – you will have a make-up with bleached eyebrows. Or you can go even further and make them look more believable by drawing eyebrow hairs on top of the foundation. Most likely, you will need to apply this makeup for a day or two, waiting for the color to fade.
How to correct the color of colored eyebrows?
If the color of your colored eyebrows turns out to be less saturated than you expected, this can be corrected by repainting. However, this matter should only be trusted to a professional. For recoloring to be successful, you need to know the laws of color and understand how the pigment from the previous procedure will interact with another. Only an experienced master will be able to predict the result, so it is better to entrust this matter to him.
How to enlarge eyebrows if you overdo it with tweezing?
If you’ve lost track of time and done something with tweezers that you didn’t want to do, the first thing you should do is forget about it for the next few months. Now your schedule is minimal – cleansing, massage of the eyebrow area (to activate dormant bulbs and improve microcirculation) and regular use of hair growth products (look for nicotinic acid and oils – burdock, castor, olive, coconut). By the way, we wrote in detail here how to grow eyebrows quickly.
