Eyebrow stencil: how to choose and use correctly?

Beautiful eyebrows are the dream of every woman. They are able to successfully emphasize the expressiveness of the face and add a bright touch to the appearance. Despite the fact that making an ideal eyebrow shape is not so easy, with the advent of stencils, the task has been simplified several times, because now it is not necessary to contact a specialist - you can make perfect eyebrow arches yourself.

A template is a small piece of some kind of material on which a variety of eyebrow shapes have been cut. Today you can find the most bizarre stencils that have various lengths, thicknesses and bends. This is done with the aim that every female buyer finds the desired look for herself.

They use stencils for different purposes: some girls use them to draw the necessary shape of the eyebrows, while others eliminate excess hairs, thereby correcting natural eyebrows. Therefore, with the help of this small detail, you can improve your appearance at your discretion.

Despite the fact that stencils appeared not so long ago, they are already in great demand among girls, since they allow not only to facilitate the make-up process, but also to reduce the time for its application. There are a large number of stencils on sale - the buyer decides which one to choose.

Below are some of the options for eyebrow templates.

• Plastic stencils. These are small pieces of plastic with eyebrow-like holes inside. Most often, such products are used by specialists from beauty salons. There are a lot of such options, and they differ in shape and appearance. Plastic kits include 4 to 6 stencil elements.
• Masks with mounts. They are popular due to the fact that they can be put on and tightly fixed, while the hands will be free to work - this will make it possible to easily use such material at home. These masks will be the perfect solution for those who are doing the procedure for the first time or are doing eyebrow shaping on their own.

• Special masks that can be attached to the nose. This option is very difficult to find in stores, but you can easily order them on the Internet by researching the topic on this issue.
• Paper. It is better to use such stencil elements if you have experience in eyebrow shaping. In addition, such products are disposable.

• Forms with masks. They allow you to fix the stencil on the face in the desired position and carry out modeling of two eyebrows at once.
• Paper options with an adhesive base. Such stencils also belong to disposable products, but their use is more convenient, since they are tightly attached to the skin, while the hands are free, which is more convenient in comparison with other options.

When making a correction for the first time, a girl should feel comfort and complete freedom of action.

It seems to many that it is very difficult to choose the right shape of the eyebrows for the contour of the face, but in fact it is not so. The most important thing in this procedure is to correctly determine what type of person the person belongs to.

Face in the form of a square or rectangle. For such a face, you should not make straight lines - because of this, it will become shorter, and the jaw will acquire rough features. The main emphasis here should be a smooth transition at the base of the chin so that its roughness disappears. The ideal solution in this case is to perform a fracture, which should be displaced to the temple.

In the case of a round face, you must completely abandon the presence of a sharp or thin line. The presence of sharp fractures should also be avoided, as this will visually enlarge the face. For the same reason, you do not need to make arcuate options. An ideal choice would be a triangular shape with a break. She will be able to focus on the eyes: to emphasize their expressiveness and transform the face.

In addition, straight shapes will not work here, as they will make facial features excessively sharp. For the same reason, you will have to refuse from too long options. In this case, the shape of the face must be softened - this can be done with the help of curved eyebrows with a minimum rise, their length should be medium. As for the width, it is desirable to make it the same size, sometimes the eyebrow may be slightly narrowed at the end.

Almost any type of eyebrow can fit the oval shape of the face, since this particular type is considered the most correct. But nevertheless, the best option in this case can be considered eyebrows with a modest break. If the oval is very narrow, it is recommended to perform visual expansion. This can be achieved with the help of not very large, but straight eyebrows, which will not be located low.

With a pear-shaped face, it is better to give preference to wide and long eyebrows. You can visually transform the upper part of the face by increasing the distance between the eyebrows.

If there is no time to choose one or another option, then it is better to stop at eyebrows with a wide base, a slightly raised middle and a narrow tail at the end.

There are several secrets that can help you create eyebrows that accentuate the shape of any face.

• You don't need to position your eyebrows too high or low, otherwise you will end up with a sad or surprised look.
• If the face needs to be visually wide, then straight eyebrows should be preferred.
• In the event that the eyes are set close, then they can be visually made wider. This will require increasing the distance between the eyebrows, and, conversely, with a large gap between the eyes, the separation between the eyebrows must be reduced. The main thing is not to overdo it and not turn two eyebrows into one continuous line.
• To make a wide oval visually narrow, you can use rounded eyebrows. However, the bend in this case should be very smooth so as not to get a surprised look as a result.
• When removing hairs, experts recommend doing this only along the lower part so that the eyebrow is not very low, otherwise the eyes may visually decrease.

In order to achieve a beautiful result, it is important to maintain the correct distance between the eyebrows. This gap should be no more than the distance of two fingers on the hand.

Eyebrow templates have some advantages:

• stencils have only symmetrical lines;
• it is very easy to choose the necessary form;
• it becomes easier to maintain a neat eyebrow line;
• before purchasing the form, you can try on and choose a more suitable option.

Also, to the positive qualities, it should be added that the work on modeling the eyebrows is carried out very quickly, but this is only if the stencil is convenient, and there is at least minimal experience in this process.

Despite the fact that the popularity of templates is growing, there are users who have abandoned them.

The following positions stand out from the disadvantages of using:

• more and more often there are stencils on sale that are inconvenient to use;
• began to produce more and more identical eyebrows, which means that identical and recognizable eyebrows can be found in almost every girl;
• when dyeing, the shape of the eyebrow becomes unnatural;
• sometimes the choice is not so good, and it is not possible to acquire the necessary shape.

Perhaps the first time the result will not be what you expected, but the second attempt will seem simple and easy. Therefore, in order to correctly perform the required adjustment, you need to follow some recommendations for using such an eyebrow template.

The process of using templates is presented below.

• You need to take a transparent powder or talcum powder and apply it to the area near the eyebrows - this will not allow the stencil to stick to the skin.
• Stencils must be applied to each eyebrow - they must match the shape.
• After the stencil is attached, it must be fixed by hand - this is not required if it is with an adhesive base or with Velcro, because such products are securely held in a fixed position.

• Use shadows or a pencil to outline the shape of the template. Now it can be removed to the side - all that remains is to eliminate the extra hairs. This can be done with tweezers or simply cut.
• To consolidate the result, you need to apply wax.

When the work is finished, the disposable stencils should be thrown away. If they are made of plastic, then they will need to be rinsed with cosmetic milk or running water.

If it is not possible to purchase a ready-made template, then you do not need to be upset, because you can make it yourself. Creating a stencil for the eyebrows is not difficult, but it takes training.

For work, you need a marker or pen, knife and plastic (suitable from a bottle or food container). You also need a printer.

Sometimes in the process of printing it is very difficult to figure out in what size the picture with stencils will be submitted.It is best to find pictures with a special mark with the words "actual size". In the event that such a fragment is not available, you can try to measure the length in centimeters using a variety of graphic programs.

If there are no programs available, then you can proceed in a different way: you will need to open the picture and enlarge it until the sheet becomes A4 size - this will be the real size of the image, which means that the template will correspond to the required format.

If there is no printer, then you can do this:

• find the required template;
• put plastic on it and outline it with a marker;
• cut out the resulting image with a knife.

The third stage can be called the most difficult, since not everyone succeeds in cutting a perfectly flat figure on the first attempt. Of course, when purchasing a production template, you can be sure that it will be perfectly smooth. But even at home, if you try, you can make a neat stencil.

In some cases, it is not necessary to use plastic containers or bottles for stencils - there are other options. For example, using a plastic folder for files that are colored on one side and transparent on the other. It is this transparent side that is required. It will be enough for several attempts, which is very important when the product does not work the first time.

This material is very soft and can even be cut with scissors for a neat finish.

It is very difficult to make the mask itself with a template according to the type of face in full size or adhesive stencils, as well as Velcro options, therefore, as testimonials indicate, it is better to use the simplest option, which requires a minimum of materials: a ruler, knife, paper and plastic.

The main mistake that most often occurs during the application process is the incorrectly selected form. In order to prevent this from happening, it is advisable to consult with a beautician who will help you make the right choice. Often, girls only worsen the state of their appearance due to the illiterate use of such templates.

Despite the fact that today wide types of eyebrows have become relevant, some girls go for extremely thin shapes. It is better to stick to this look so that the face looks harmonious as a result.

In addition, you should also be aware that templates differ in the type of use. For example, there are those that allow you to correct the created makeup, as well as other options that are designed only for color and tattoo.

If a young lady is going to carry out such a procedure for the first time, then it is better to give preference to those species that can be fixed. Regular paper stencils are inconvenient for beginner girls to use, but they can be fixed with adhesive plaster to obtain a reliable fix.

Some people prefer to use stencil masks that are attached to the bridge of the nose. They wrap around the nose, so that the fixation becomes reliable and the hands are free. You won't be able to make such stencils yourself - they need to be purchased in stores.

If there are deviations, then you will have to tinker with the stencil in order to achieve the desired result, which is very inconvenient. Using an eyebrow stencil, you can quickly make face corrections at home without going to a specialist.
