Choosing your permanent eyebrow shapes is one of the most important aspects of getting an eyebrow tattoo once you have selected a qualified professional technician to do the procedure. But one of the basic problems with patients who decide to get permanent cosmetic makeup is an unrealistic expectation of what a new brow line will do to their face. Looking at pictures of tattoo eyebrows that have enhanced models and Hollywood stars is a very poor way to decide on permanent eyebrow shapes. However, pictures do serve a definite purpose when trying to decide on a realistic brow line that will suite you. Here are some tips:
Making Your Own Stencil In Advance
1. basic permanent eyebrow shapes can be found in beauty magazines and books so long as you first determine if the bone structure and face shape of the model is similar to your own. Where to begin? Go to the mirror and using a water soluble marker draw an outline of your face. This will help you see more clearly if your face is round, oval, diamond or other. Now at look at brows that you like in magazines that have YOUR face shape. Trace or cut out the eyebrows you like, and although it may seem silly, stick them onto your brow or trace them onto your face with a soft brow pencil. Make alterations where needed. Using the basic pictures of tattoo eyebrows or pictures of natural brows that you like on women who have similar bone structure and face shapes, you should now have an idea what is possible and you should have a stencil that you can take to your technician. She/he will then use your rough stencil to once again draw the shape on your face in a professional manner to make sure it is right, then she/he will make another stencil that will be used while tattooing your brow.
Using Stick-On Tattoo Shapes to Create a Stencil
2. another means to get very accurate permanent eyebrow shapes is to do exactly the same initial procedure of selecting appropriate pictures of tattoo eyebrows or natural ones form books and magazines, however, to get a more genuine idea of how they will look, you can buy a few stick-on or semi-permanent tattoo brows that match the shapes you have chosen. Instead of using a brow pencil and creating a stencil from cut out images, you try the stick-on tattoos and see which look best. Wear a few different shapes until you have the one you want to be permanent. Take that stick-on tattoo shape to your technician during your initial consultation and have her duplicate the shape using it as a stencil or altering it slightly to be perfect for your face.
