The concept of having flawlessly shaped brows dates back all the way to the early 1920’s. Over a century has passed and multiple tricks and tools have emerged to help individuals get the perfect brow shape. One of the tools that have since risen in popularity is eyebrow stencils.
Especially when there is anabsence of a brow outline, shaping is not only frustrating but it can also be too difficult to achieve on a daily basis. With stencils, it’s much easier to get consistency at a faster pace, leading to more people using brow stencil kits for their morning routine.
Below, we delve deeper intoeyebrow stamp and stencil kits, how to use eyebrow stencils, and practical tips for beginners.
What is an Eyebrow Stencil Kit and How Does it Work?
An eyebrow stencil kit is a perfect tool that helps you achieve instant brows in the exact shape you want them. Each kit comes with multiple stencils that you can use to fill in your brow line, essentially “coloring” within the empty space and drawing your preferred brow.
The stencils come in different lengths, arch heights, and thickness, serving as a one-stop-shop for anyone trying to find their ideal shape. What makes these stencils convenient is that they can work for those with brow loss at any level. Whether you are experiencingthinning brows ortotal brow loss, these stencils step in to save the day in a matter of minutes.
Choosing the Right Eyebrow Stencil Kit for Your Brow Shape
A great thing with stencil kits is that you’re left with multiple shapes to choose from. This not only means you get to test out different looks, but you also get the chance to find what suits you best. Here’s a quick guide to choosing the right eyebrow stencil for you:
Brow Bone
Even withsparse brows, you can determine how high or low your brow bone is. For those with naturally higher brow bones, opt for stencils with a higher arch for a more natural look. Similarly, those with lower brow bones may be better suited with low-arch stencils.
Natural Length
After determining your arch height, use your brow line to determine the length of your tail. The closer to the natural shape you fill in, the more realistic the results.
Adjust The Thickness
Over the years, brow trends have gone from skinny to bushy and all else in between. While arch height and tail length are major factors in getting a natural brow, the thickness is where you can be more playful. Those who want thick and bold should use wider stencils while those who want a minimal look can stick to slim stencils.
Step-by-Step Tutorial on Using an Eyebrow Stencil Kit
Eyebrow stencil kits are one of the most beginner-friendly brow tools on the market. They only require 4 easy steps and can achieve your desired look in minutes.
Step 1: Choose Your Stencil
Above, we have a quick guide on how you can choose the right stencil based on your natural brow line and personal preference. Don’t be afraid to explore different options, a shape you never considered before may just surprise you.
Step 2: Get In Position
Once you have your chosen stencil, align it on your brow bone.
Step 3: Fill In Your Brows
Some stencil kits come with an eyebrow pencil, others come with brow powder, and still others come with brow stamps, such as the kit from My Two Brows. With stamps, all you have to do is choose your desired brow color, twist to apply the pigment, and gently dab into the stencil, filling in all the spaces. Stamps are much faster compared to using powder or pencils as each dab covers a wide area.
Step 4: Blend
The last step is to take the spoolie and blend in your stamped-on brows till it fully mimics a natural look. Simply repeat steps 2 to 4 over the other brow and you’re ready for the day!
Tips and Tricks for Beginners Using Eyebrow Stencils
While brow pencils are almost every beginner’s stepping stone, brow stencils have brought new meaning to “user-friendly”. They are easy, fast, reliable, and allow you to explore multiple brow possibilities without having to purchase a different set.
Brow stencils aren’t just for beginners, either. Makeup enthusiasts and long-time users can benefit just as much as the next guy. However, if this is your first time, here are a few tips to get you going on the right path to gorgeous brows:
Choose Your Color Wisely
Get a color that either matches your hair or is one shade lighter. This helps your brows blend in naturally with the rest of your look.
Explore Colors Close Your Natural Look
Try on one to three hues close to your hair color, don’t be afraid to put them on rotation!
Try On Different Stencils, Too
Explore different stencils. My Two Brows Stamp and Stencil kit comes with 25 stencils of different arch heights, thickness, and sizes.
Always Blend It All In
Whether you havetotal hair loss or justthinning strands, always use a spoolie to blend it all in.
Map Out Your Brows
If you have difficulty using your brow bone to guide your brow line,map out your brows with an eyebrow pencil instead. To do so, simply rest one end of the pencil on the dimple of your nose and vertically align it with the inner corner of your eye. This point is where your brow should start.
Next, still keeping the tip on the dimple of your nose, diagonally move the pencil towards the middle of your brow line until it lines up with your iris - this point is where your arch should be. How low or high you want it is completely up to you.
Lastly, tip still on the dimple of your nose, diagonally move the other end of your pencil towards the other corner of your eyes - this marks your brow’s tail.

Totally realistic looking brows - it's like my brows have returned
I've had microblading done twice, I've tried ALL the brow pencils, gels, and even the Amazon temp brow tattoos - these are FAR superior to all of that. They last on my oily skin for 2 full days (morning on one day, morning two days later to replace), take 30 seconds to replace and they look SO realistic! I always had fabulous brows that I really never appreciated until I lost them. They're back!

My Two Brows are Wonderful!
I saw another woman with Alopecia with beautiful brows and commented on them. She told me they were temporary tattoos by “My Two Brows”, and said I would love working with Jason. I am so thankful I ran across this woman! She changed my life! I now have beautiful, realistic looking brows 24/7. They are easy to apply and last up to a week, getting them wet, sleeping with them, swimming, sweating, life! I love waking up in the morning and having brows again! Jason is a real pleasure to work with getting just the right style and color for you. I LOVE “My Two Brows”! And Highly Recommend them! Try them, you’ll be happy you did!

Most natural looking eyebrows!
I cannot rave enough about my new eyebrows. After having looked at different products on the market, what drew me to "My Two Brows" is that you can customize your eyebrows so that they're tailored to you, how realistic they look and how well they stand up to sweat and water. When I tell people that my eyebrows are tattoos, they can't believe it! Im wearing the sassy curve in light brown, they last anywhere from 2-5 days.
Moreover, the ordering process is very easy and the customer service excellent. i highly recommend them.

So realistic
I permanently lost my hair and eyebrows from an issue with a breast cancer chemo drug. Unfortunately there is a fairly large segment of women that this has happened to. I am so happy to have found my two brows as I love the realistic look of them. I am still trying to get the positioning right, as well as the size, shape and color, but I'll get there. I find that if I cut the paper close to the brow itself, I can figure out the placement a little easier. The ones in the picture are medium, sassy swerve in medium brown. The color is a little off from the medium brown I ordered before, but Jason said he will make sure the dye lot is right with my next order. I find that I can wear the brows for up to a week if I am very careful in the shower and don't rub them while washing or drying my face.

I wish I’d found these sooner!
I only have one regret about my two brows - I wish I’d found them sooner! I’m still not sure where my own eyebrows went or why, but these actually look better than mine ever did. The colour and size selection means I can find the perfect shape and shade and even change them if I’m tanned or dye my hair. Big shout out to Jason for being so helpful and for the personalised touches with packaging and delivery.

I was so Skeptical
I couldn’t have been more of a skeptic going into this thinking I’ve used brow pencil for years there is no way these will look actually any better intact I thought they would look worse. When I first received the sample pack I still thought seeing them no they won’t work and was so scared to shave of the tiny tiny bit of blonde eyebrow hair (keep in mind I have dark brown almost black hair) that did grow back after chemotherapy but finally I worked up the courage to try and was completely blown away after I got the first pair on and my eye brows have NEVER LOOK MORE REAL AND BETTER!!!I couldn’t go back to pencil now and I’ve only had them on for 4 days!
