Blocking the eyebrows for an Elizabethan look

   Using a soap:

  1.  Soak the soap in warm water

  2.   Get an angled brush and try to get a cream(a thick cream from the soap) and put it on the back of the hand

  3.  Go with the soaked brush against the eyebrow’s hair- It saves the hair from popping up

  4.  With the finger press hard forward the eyebrows

  5.  Use a cotton bud to clean the excess around the eyebrow

  6.  Continue with putting the soap cream forward the eyebrows and pressing it with the fingers after. don’t get any lumps in the eyebrows

  7. Keep smoothing off. The harder you press the more the soap gets in and smoother it will get

  8. Clean the area around and make sure there are no huge lumps or bumps
  9.  Let it dry

To know:

 ü   This kind of blocking the eyebrows with the soap is used a lot in the fashion world because it is very easy and quick to take it off (with warm water)

 ü  While building the eyebrows DO NOT rub them but pad them

 ü  If you lift the model’s head slightly up, when building up the eyebrows, it stops any liquid running down the face.

 Using a Prit Stick

   1.  Put some Prit stick on the back of the hand. You have to work quite fast because it dries quickly

   2.   Go against the hair with the glue using a spatchler

   3.  With the finger press forward the eyebrow

   4.   Continue building up going forward the eyebrow

   5.   Working with the glue can look a bit shiny under the base so powder it with translucent powder and it will texture the eyebrow like the skin

 How to cover the eyebrows for natural skin:

Ø  Mix up a sort of greasy rosy-pink color because it covers the dark colors

   Ø  DO NOT rub it but stipple it

   Ø  Using a soft brush or a sponge apply that greasy cream on the blocked eyebrows. It helps to cover through the foundation

   Ø  Then stipple on the base

   Ø  Powder after you’ve done the rest of the face, pressing with an sponge slightly

          v  For an Elizabethan look, use white Supercolor on a mascara wand and go down through the eyelashes and then up

   

Made with soap

Made with glue

Personally I found it easier to build the eyebrows with the glue. It was easier because even if I had to work quite fast, the glue sticked the eyebrows better from my point of view.
