«The technique – similar to the one performed on the hair – is obtained using specific oxygen-based bleaching kits for eyebrows which lighten and then tone the brow hair », he continues Schettini.
How to lighten eyebrows without really bleaching?
«It is possible to try the trend even just for an evening or simply for a particular occasion using make up ».
It will be enough obtain «a concealer with high coverage with a not too full-bodied texture, of a clean fiber brush with which you will apply the product and a transparent gel with which to fix everything “.
Who are they good for and who should avoid them?
«In my opinion it is not a technique aimed at an aesthetic improvement but rather an eccentric and fun trend ” he replies Giulio Schettini of Benefit Cosmetics.
“The bleached eyebrows they give only to those who are naturally blond. However, it is certainly a captivating effect that attracts attention and is heavily used in the fashion world ».
Do it yourself mistakes not to make
«The main mistake to avoid is that of resort to non-specific bleaches for eyebrows which risk burning and ruining the hair, which is much more delicate than hair. It is also important, where you want to resort to “do it yourself”, carefully follow the timing of installation some bleach so as not to stress the hair too much ».
Furthermore, «we must evaluate the final result well on themselves: if you start from a very dark base it is certainly more complicated to obtain a light blond effect like the one seen on the catwalks or red carpets “, specifies the expert.
Care and make up: the products to use to define the Bleached Brows
“Once the hair is bleached, you will need to find a pencil or eyebrow marker from the new one shade obtained after bleaching. Also specific mascara help maintain the effect, as do the pomade ei fixing agents transparentthe”.
The extra advice? «Never forget to moisturize the eyebrows daily with oils or serums based on keratin with restructuring virtues ».
How to return to the original color
“First of all it is possible return to their natural color by re-coloring the eyebrows with ad hoc products ” concludes the expert.
However, have patience: «lHowever, the texture of the bleached eyebrows will be a little different until the hair renews itself in about 6 weeks ».
