Understanding facial contrasts and general colouring!
The best way to understand contrast as a whole is the difference in your looks, within your hair, skin,
eyes and lashes.
High contrast = overall better look
Low contrast = less striking, more "normal-ish" look
where contrast can matter and can be a huge difference
Blondes and gingers, especially, struggle within this category because many people with these colours
have light eyebrows and pale skin, making it hard to see the person's eyebrows, which can look slightly off-putting and or weird.
HOWEVER! too much contrast can create an unnatural and or uncanny look!
such as too dark a colour on a pale or more fair skin tone, making it a little off-putting
Positives of high contrast

old thread bad formatting but whatever

- more masculine on men

EYEBROWS
eyebrows will be put into two distinct parts
and don't want to try anything major just yet.
growth
To help with growth, there are many things you can do to optimise the shape and overall look of your eyebrows
Minoxidil for eyebrows can overall reduce the risk of irritation and unwanted overgrowth within the eyebrows
5% will be more effective within the application and acquisition, due to 10% being considered "off-label"
for eyebrows, as there are fewer tests and a larger risk of carrying side effects.
(generally try 5% and then switch to 10% if growth and progress are taking too long)
colouring
a common practice to improve colouring can be to dye
rule of thumb for dye

- Rosemary oil can improve blood circulation and increase hair growth (SRC: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/rosemary-oil-for-hair)
- 5% minoxidil is the superior serum for this, 10% is not as good as I will explain next (5% minox: https://www.boots.com/sons-minoxidil-5-cutaneous-solution-60ml-10339464)
- castor oil (on the fence about this could be cope do some research on it!)

colouring
a common practice to improve colouring can be to dye
rule of thumb for dye
- 1 shade darker (a brownish shade) for blondes and gingers
- same shade as hair for brunettes
- for black have a slightly softer black
- syoss
- l'oreal
- eylure
ways to fraud eyebrows:
- vaseline on them to make a darker tint
- hair gel again for a dark tint
Lashes
Dark lashes increase:- eye depth
- limbal ring perception
- eye size illusion
- lash tint
- castor oil
- peptide lash serums
muh ghk and mt2
Melanotan II (MT2) is a synthetic peptide that mimics the action of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), a natural hormone involved in:
primary effects: tanning duh
MT2 stimulates melanocortin receptors especially MC1R which increases melanin synthesis within the skin
MT2 can also darken freckles moles and other pigmented areas
MT2 also has some effects on reduced hunger and earlier fullness
Side effeects:
(close relative of bremelanotide)
muh ghk-cu
FAN FAVOURITE PEPTIDE EVERYONE RAVING ABOUT IT WOWOWOWOWOWOW JFL
ghk-cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper)
MAIN EFFECTS OF GHK-CU:
