Professional looking Brows in Seconds


Eylure Brow Stencils


Pre Shaped Arches

Brows can be tricky to get right even for a makeup artist. There are so many little things to take into consideration such as your face shape, colouring, eye setting and general look you are trying to achieve. Of course there are tips and tricks you can use to help create the perfect brow such as, mapping out where your arch should start and where the brow should begin and finish. But let's be  honest this can be time consuming, and if like me time is too valuable a commodity to spend calculating your brow dimensions then just cheat! Don't get me wrong I’m all for knowing how to to do something correctly and mastering the art of good brows is a skill. A skill which many of us may not be able to master in the short space of time we have to do our makeup everyday. So I came across these amazing Eylure Brow Stencils. They are super easy to use and come in four different arch shapes (Full, High, Medium, Slim). So you're sure to find one to suit. Personally I use the slim arch as my brows are naturally thin and sparse.  

Here's a quick run down of how to use these stencils:

·       Choose an arch you think is most suited to your natural brow shape.
·        Place the thicker part of the arch at the starting point of your natural brow, ensure the top line of the stencil is in line with the top of your own brow.
·        Hold in place with one hand, using a small flat rounded brush pick up some of your usual brow shadow colour.
·        Using dabbing motions apply from the narrow point of the arch and work inwards towards the nose making sure to get the product into the skin behind the brow hair.
·        Brows naturally go from light to dark and so by starting at the end point of the brow you will get a more natural looking finish as the product from the brush is used.
·        Remove carefully, wipe the stencil clean and repeat on the other brow (I will admit though it can be a little tricky to hold the stencil in place on your non dominant side but you get the hang of it very quickly). 

And there you have it easy peasy professional looking brows in seconds.
