Eyebrow powder: description and reviews

Beautiful eyebrows have always been an integral part of the female image. And at different times the fashion on the eyebrows also changed. Today in the trend thick, bright, maximum natural eyebrows, and to emphasize their natural beauty will help special cosmetic products, for example, powder for the eyebrows.

What it is

Powder is a matte friable product, which is designed to make the eyebrows more bulky, thick and fluffy without excessive brightness and color shading. This is an ideal option for daytime make-up, since this is the most natural correction of shape and density. The powder gently lies down, filling the gaps between the hairs, and blends well, leaving no clear lines. Therefore, the product is well suited to the owners of rare eyebrows, which you want to make thicker. Excellent powder is suitable for those who have a good shape, but not bright enough color. The product will help them to make the eyebrows more expressive.

Like any other powder, it contains substances that give makeup durability, so it is well suited to owners of oily skin and for hot summer days - make-up with eyebrows will not go away anywhere.

Advantages and disadvantages

Among the undoubted merits of this product is the naturalness of the result. Powder is a few shades, as close to natural as possible, but they are all matte and translucent (by the way, there is also a colorless powder) - all in order to simply emphasize the natural beauty.

The product is able to give a rare or too much plucked eyebrows fluffiness, volume and beautiful bending. Powder, as it were, lifts the hairs, making the eyebrows larger and more expressive.

Plus, and that it holds well without an additional base, gel or wax, which means that the make-up will stay with you for the whole day.

The drawbacks of the product include the relative inconvenience of applying, because you will also need a special brush. Also it is worth noting that the eyebrow powder will not suit those who have naturally thick and bright eyebrows, they simply have nothing to do.

Difference from other eyebrow products

Naturally, the difference of powder from such highly pigmented products as pencil or wax is immediately evident. They give a bright color, a clear line and more model eyelashes, while the powder is applied by a soft translucent layer, masking the imperfections of the native eyebrows.

It is more difficult to distinguish powder from eye shadow for eyebrows. Shadows are also crumbly and applied with a brush, but on this their similarities end. Powder will not give such a bright color, as the shadows, which are designed primarily to color the eyebrows. In addition, shadows are less resistant and always require additional fixation.

Kinds

Powder from different manufacturers is produced in different forms, among them one can distinguish such:

• Classical matte translucent powder.
• Pencil-powder for eyebrows - combines the advantages of a pencil to correct the shape and powdery softness of applying and feathering to correct color and volume.
• Powder-shade - having all the properties of powder, they have more intense pigmentation.
• Cream-Powder - has a more delicate creamy texture, perfectly lays down and crumbles less than conventional eyebrow powder.

How to use

To apply the powder, you will need a special brush with a short hard pile and beveled shape. It is very convenient for her to apply a clear contour, and shade the product.

Before applying the powder, brush your eyebrows and, if necessary, draw a contour with a pencil. Brush a little powder and apply on the eyebrows in small strokes from the bridge to the temples. After a couple of minutes, apply a clear fixing gel or wax over the eyebrows. Your perfect eyebrows are ready.

If you have very little time, try make-up in the style of smoky brow - this is a trend to maximize natural eyebrows without a clear contour and gentleness. Just take an oval brush for the shadows and draw a powder over the eyebrows. One stroke - and fashionable eyebrows ready.

Combination with other products

For an ideal make-up of eyebrows, one powder is sometimes not enough, so some manufacturers produce sets of several complementary products. But you can also assemble this set yourself.

The first successful combination is powder and pencil. Pencil with light strokes you need to outline the form from above and below. By the way, you can do this and shadows with the help of a stiff and short beveled brush, however it is difficult and it is necessary to practice, it is much easier to make this with a pencil. After correcting the shape and feathering of the pencil, the powder will add a natural volume and fluffiness to the eyebrows.

Another good alliance is a fixing gel or wax and a powder for the eyebrows. How to use these products in the complex? Powder - as usual, and the wax or gel in this case will fix the shade and lay all the hairs in one direction, so you can achieve the most accurate makeup. Be sure to comb the eyelashes after applying the gel and choose a product of good brands, since a poor-quality gel can produce whitish stains, and it should be absolutely transparent.

Stamps and reviews

Such a product as eyebrow powder is not yet found everywhere, but Anastasia Beverly Hills, like the eyebrow guru, can not fail to find such a product. It is a two-color pallet of Brow Powder Duo, in which there is a light and dark shade. They are needed for maximum natural make-up, so apply them together, applying alternately. Thanks to such a palette, this is a very versatile powder for the eyebrows. Reviews about it are only positive, as well as about other brand products - it is resistant, easy to apply and you can always pick up your shade in a rich palette.

A set of Ecrin Sourcils from Guerlain are three shades of powder from light to dark, a highlighter for applying under the eyebrow and a tassel. Shades are universal and allow you to pick up your own, and the high lift raises his eyebrows and visually opens his eyes. Judging by the reviews, the powder does not dust, does not crumble and keeps fine all day.

More budgetary version - Eyebrow Cake Powder from NYX, in a set of two close shades of powder, wax and a brush. A similar set called "Perfection" can be found in the Avon catalog. The set includes a brush, wax and a powder for the eyebrow "Avon". The reviews praise the product itself, noting, however, the poor quality of the brush. But the set from MAKE UP FACTORY is a very resistant matte powder in two shades and three stencils for eyebrows - from thin to wide.

In the segment of pencils can be noted Maybelline Brow Satin. On the one hand, this is a mechanical pencil, and on the other - a sponge with powder, which can give the eyebrows color and shade lines. But it is worth taking into account also the reviews that claim that the pencil is an excellent product, while the powder is not well tolerated on the face.

Obviously, eyebrow products are extremely popular today, and to find their own, have a lot to try. However, the powder for eyebrows can be indispensable in any cosmetic bag for day and natural make-up.
