Great Brows With Eyebrow Shapes Stencils

By Myrtle Cash


Using a stencil is a very effective and professional way of approaching many tasks. Ask any DIY enthusiast or artist who works with creating neat symmetrical patterns on surfaces. This same simple and practical solution can be used to apply makeup well. Eyebrow shapes stencils enable anyone to easily and effectively create natural looking eyebrows.

The brows are an important part of the face making it balanced, framed and attractive. If these hairs are not symmetrical for whatever reason or do not have enough body, they can easily draw undue attention. Many things could affect how eyebrows look. A facial injury that heals into a scar or a patch of uneven baldness over the brows may require a quick and easy solution daily. Natural aging can also result in eyebrows becoming progressively thinner and more sparse.

Reusable templates are a wonderfully convenient and cost-effective way to have great brows when you need them without the skill of a surgeon. These practical stencil pieces are normally sold in individual packs that contain any number of separate pieces and are available from most cosmetic suppliers. There are a variety of sizes, patterns, and brands available for every occasion and intended use. The cosmetic market is rather flooded with choice.

Applying the set of stencilled eyebrows is easy and fun. The cut-out pattern guide is usually a clear plastic film that comes in varying flexible thicknesses depending on the manufacturer and type of design. Instructions for application are normally included with the good cosmetic brands on the market.

Preparing the face before tracing on the eyebrow shape is quite simple. Follow your personal cleaning routine by washing with water and cleanser; or simply wipe well with some toner. Moist facial tissues are quite handy when on the move and needing to freshen up and apply a fresh pattern of hairs.

Any stray hair can be trimmed and the lashes lightly brushed down to facilitate a smooth application. The chosen pattern is then aligned over the eyebrow and traced. This could be done with a makeup pencil or the tip of a mascara brush. There are stencil designs that allow the user to temporarily lightly stick them onto the face enabling greater convenience for those with shaky hands. Care needs to be taken not to smudge the fresh pattern when removing the stencil. After a light cleaning with tissue the stencil can usually be used again.

To neaten up the final handiwork, any stray strands of hair around the pattern can be removed with tweezers. A home waxing kit will also work well for truly neat professional looking finishes. Mistakes and smudges can be easily rectified by wiping off the pattern as you would normal makeup and reapplying the trace more carefully.

Eyebrow shapes stencils are not just for normal makeup treatments but can also be used for various artistic applications. Be it a fancy dress evening out with bold makeup, or something extravagant for a stage performance, it can be done surprisingly easily. The important thing is to spend some time practicing to do it well and have fun.
