There are several types of brow stencils available and each one is easy to use either for yourself or your Permanent Makeup clients.

 

Regardless of the type of stencil you choose, it must be used properly to achieve the best results.

Choose a stencil shape that is close to your natural brow shape (length, curve, arch); drastic changes can results in drastic expressions that look anything but natural.
 

• Clean and groom the brow thoroughly before applying the stencil.
• Trim long hairs and brush the brow in the direction of growth for best results.
• Apply stencil aligned to the natural beginning and ending of brow.
• Hold stencil firmly in place. Trace outline of brow shape through stencil with brow pencil or mascara.
• If the stencil is a thin shape, simply fill in the desired brow completely.
• Carefully remove the stencil without smudging the sketched guide.
• Remove hair outside the stencil outline by plucking, waxing, or other grooming techniques.
• Reapply the stencil to refine the shape if necessary. Remove stray hairs with tweezers for a polished, professional result. If using eyebrow stencils to achieve an entirely new shape or to correct damage to the eyebrow, different steps may be necessary.

New Shapes

If you are using a stencil to achieve a drastically different brown shape, it may be necessary to use a larger stencil first to avoid removing too much hair. When positioning the stencil, be sure the ungroomed hairs are not overlapping the edge of the stencil; use tweezers or a fine pointed object to carefully position hairs correctly. Pre-waxed stencils are not recommended for initial brow shaping; the process may be too painful and is not likely to remove all the necessary hair for perfect results.

Fixing Problems

Stencils can be used to correct over-plucked brows. Simply position the stencil over the brow and gently fill in the open area with a brow pencil, eye shadow, or mascara. The most natural results will be achieve by using cosmetics that are as close to the natural color of the brow as possible – avoid shimmery or glittery products that will accentuate the brow.

Eyebrow stencils are quick and easy to use beauty aids that can help individuals craft perfectly shaped brows in seconds, without the hassle of measurements and guesswork. By choosing the best stencil and using it properly, having professionally groomed brows is a snap, even for someone who has never shaped their brows before.
