Eyebrow slit girls means a girl having a cut or a slit in her eyebrow or both the eyebrows. Eyebrow slits are a new way of expressing fashion.
Eyebrow slits are a way to cut or shape eyebrows, which are generally seen as a trend or fashion statement. The main idea is to remove a small section or hair - or, alternatively, paint it with makeup - to give the appearance of a crack or open stain on the eyebrow. Some people choose only a slit, while others opt for a more striped look; the slits can also be on one eyebrow or both. They can be created in many different ways, with varying patterns. In most cases, the reasons why people choose this look are completely personal. It is often seen as modern and can also help to identify a person as a member of a specific group or team if all members choose to adopt the appearance. Sometimes, people also use slits to highlight eyebrow piercings. The appearance is usually noticeable immediately and usually requires a little work to maintain.
History of eyebrow slit trend :
It may seem that eyebrow cuts have started appearing throughout the Instagram feed recently, but they are actually predating the social media platform by a few decades. The pop-culture creator of eyebrow slits is MC Big Daddy Kane, who started using them since the 1980s. Eyebrow cuts were strongly associated with hip-hop culture in the 90s and 2000s, with rappers like Bow Wow, the duo Kriss Kross, Soulja Boy and Vanilla Ice, all shaking the look at different times in their careers. There have been cases of people outside the hip-hop scene having a furrowed brow, like David Beckham in 2001, but it was in 2015 that the look started to appear on the eyebrows of Instagram influencers and now this trend has conquered every part of the world.
What will you need for a perfect slit eyebrow?
- An eyebrow comb
- An eyebrow razor (the same type you would use for homemade skin removal)
- Optionally, eyebrow scissors, can also be useful, especially for the first time you cut your eyebrows.
- Your favourite concealer and eyebrow makeup product will also be helpful.
How to create an eyebrow slit?
• Before you start cutting your eyebrows, we suggest that you first clean them to a shape you like using tweezers or an eyebrow razor. Eyebrow slits are usually combined with a well-defined and well-filled eyebrow, but there is nothing wrong with combining them with a cuter “boy’s eyebrow”, so choose the style you like.
• For the first time making an eyebrow crack, it is good to map things first. A little thick, high coverage concealer can help you plan where to cut your forehead.
• Draw a line of concealer with an angled eyebrow brush or with a crowbar applicator included over your eyebrow and spread it on the skin at the top and bottom to visualize the appearance of an eyebrow slit in the same area.
• You can do this as often as you like, in a number of different ways to help you find out what kind of eyebrow slit you will like the most.
• When you’re ready to cut, remove the concealer and use the eyebrow spool to brush your eyebrow hair down.
• Use your eyebrow scissors to create the first part of the slit. Hold the scissors vertically, with the sharp end pointing upwards, and place it against your eyebrow to align it where you would like the eyebrow slit to start.
• Then, slide the scissors in and make a vertical (or slightly diagonal) cut that aligns with the side of the slit closest to the beginning of the eyebrows. If you are opting for a very thin slit brow, this may be enough, while for something a little thicker, you can advance the scissors a little bit to continue creating vertical cuts to shape your slit or slits.
• Now that you have the start of the eyebrow slit, it’s time to make it a little bit sharper with the help of the eyebrow razor, but first, you must use the spool to brush the eyebrow hairs up now.
• Then, hold the razor vertically over the slit of the eyebrow you created with the scissors and slowly bring it close to your face, aligning it with the beginning of the slit. As soon as the blade comes into contact with the skin, gently move it to the side to scrape the part of the eyebrow as close to the root as possible.
• Be extremely careful to keep your movements slow and delicate to prevent the crack from being wider than you want.
• If you are nervous about the possibility of accidentally shaving too much hair, apply a small piece of tape where you would like the slit to end and it will act as a protective guide.
• When you are satisfied with the eyebrow slit you created, you can go ahead and fill in the eyebrows! Use your pencil or brush, which should be covered with eyebrow ointment to draw a line where the eyebrow hair stops and the slit starts and then fill them on each side.
• Then fill in the rest of the eyebrow as you normally would.
• Finally, use a concealer that matches your skin tone to sculpt this slit line and spread it on your skin above and below your eyebrows.
• Finally, finish your makeup as you normally would! You can sculpt your eyebrows with concealer for an ultra-sharp look or keep things more natural if you prefer.
• When you’re used to cutting your eyebrows, you’ll probably feel more confident, so you can shave immediately, without using scissors or tape - and if not, that’s fine too!
