The perfect eyebrow trend puts the brow lift in the spotlight. This technique, which involves fixing the eyebrow hairs in a precise shape, is hugely popular, both in salons and at home. How to do it? We explore all the options. 

How to have beautiful eyebrows? It's a question we've all asked ourselves at least once in our lives. Indeed, taking care of your eyebrows has never been so trendy, to the point where there are now places specially dedicated to their care! Whether they are thin, thick, full, small or long, everyone has their own eyebrow style. These two lines of hair above the eyes are an undeniable asset for accentuating the beauty of the features, but also for protecting our little eyes from external dangers such as UV radiation, sweat, or even surrounding dust. And yes, eyebrows are not there just to look pretty.

Placing and lifting your eyebrows is trendy

Trends come and go, but always with the aim of improving our appearance and simplifying our daily lives. While the ultra-thin eyebrow trend is poised to make a comeback, it will surely coexist with the (persistent) triumph of thick and full eyebrows. That's a good thing, long live variety. However, there is one technique that is likely to win everyone over: the brow lift. This way of fixing and lifting the eyebrow hairs to give them hold and shape adapts to all eyebrow styles. Whether they are thin or thick, nothing beats well-groomed eyebrows. 

What exactly is a brow lift?

Originally, the brow lift, also known as a forehead lift or eyebrow lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure used to correct sagging eyebrows and forehead. It aims to reposition the eyebrows to a higher and more youthful position, thus removing horizontal forehead wrinkles and improving the overall appearance of the forehead area. But in everyday language, the brow lift now refers to a non-surgical technique that aims to fix the eyebrow hairs upwards to enlarge the eyes and structure the facial features non-invasively. 

Brow lift, soap brow, eyebrow mascara... What products to use to lift and place your eyebrows?

To lift and place eyebrows, you can use different products and techniques, all of which are very effective. Here are some of the most popular options:

The Brow Lift

The most professional: use a product specially designed for the brow lift, also called eyebrow gel or wax. These products are generally transparent or tinted and are applied with an eyebrow brush to sculpt and hold the eyebrows in place.

Soap Brows

The most homemade: the soap brow is a technique that consists of using a transparent soap to shape and place the eyebrows. Simply lightly rub a damp eyebrow brush on the soap, then comb the eyebrows in the desired direction. This method gives the eyebrows a thick and textured appearance! 

Eyebrow Mascara

The simplest: eyebrow mascaras are tinted products specially formulated to thicken and fix the eyebrows. They are applied using a mascara brush to add color, texture, and hold to the eyebrows. Choose a shade close to that of your eyebrows for a natural result.

Eyebrow Pencil

The most illusionary: eyebrow pencils are ideal for filling in sparse areas and defining the shape of the eyebrows. It is better to choose a shade similar to that of the eyebrows and draw short and light strokes to fill in the necessary areas. Then, use an eyebrow brush to blend the pencil and give it a more natural appearance.

Tinted Eyebrow Gel

The most all-in-one: tinted eyebrow gels are practical products to lift and fix the eyebrows while adding color. They generally come with a small brush that allows you to apply the gel while styling them. 

It is important to choose quality products suited to your needs. Before deciding, it is good to test different products and various techniques to find what works best for you and your eyebrows! Small tip, for people who have eyebrows that are too short or too thin, don't hesitate to use an eyebrow serum to boost their growth and shine, this will make the brow lift application easier!

Getting a brow lift in a salon, how does it work?

It should be noted that the brow lift performed in a salon is generally a non-surgical technique that aims to temporarily lift the eyebrows using various methods. Specific details may vary depending on the salon and the technique used, but here is a general overview of what you can expect during a brow lift in a salon:

1. Consultation: everything starts with a consultation with a salon professional. We discuss expectations, the desired eyebrow shape, and appearance preferences. The professional will also assess the condition of the eyebrows and advise on the best approach to achieve the desired results.

2. Preparation: Before starting the treatment, the eyebrow area must be prepared. This may include cleaning the skin to remove any traces of makeup or oil, as well as applying a disinfectant solution.

3. Eyebrow lifting techniques: Different techniques can be used to lift the eyebrows. We use mild chemicals to soften and relax the eyebrow hairs, this step is followed by combing and brushing the eyebrows into the desired position. Finally, a fixing product is applied to hold the eyebrows in place.

4. Finishing: Once the eyebrows are lifted, the professional can perform additional touch-ups to ensure that the eyebrows have a uniform and natural appearance. This includes trimming and plucking unwanted hairs as well as applying a finishing product to hold the eyebrows in place.

5. Aftercare: After the treatment, the professional will give you advice on aftercare, such as: avoiding eyebrow makeup for a few hours, using mild products to clean the eyebrow area, and avoiding excessive exposure to the sun or activities that could compromise the results.

The results of a brow lift in a salon are generally temporary and can last from a few weeks to a few months. To maintain the results, you need to get regular touch-ups and therefore plan a small budget dedicated to this.
