Eyebrow templates real size. How to make a DIY eyebrow stencil

Well-groomed and beautiful eyebrows are the dream of any girl, especially now, when the beauty industry is only doing what draws everyone's attention to the importance of eyebrows and their care. Of course, neat eyebrows play a big role in the whole image of a girl, because they frame the face and emphasize all its beauty.

Unfortunately, not every girl has learned to draw beautifully and, but it doesn’t matter! Came to the aid of the girls new trend, which was already once popular in drawing arrows, namely stencils.

Below we will figure out whether eyebrow stencils are needed at all in order to give the correct shape and how to make them yourself.

What are stencils and why are they needed

Stencils obviously help with the pattern and not worry that you will go beyond the contour somewhere and ruin the whole picture. With their help, you can not only outline the place where the future drawn eyebrow will be located, but also fill this place without any difficulties.

Are these forms necessary? real life, girls use them or it's just a useless marketing ploy - it's hard to say. As they say, for every product there is a buyer. Of course, the price of such stencils varies from completely cheap to more or less expensive, depending on the brand.

Surprisingly, initially such eyebrow stencils could only be found on cheap sites and in cheap stores such as Aliexpress or Fix Price. However, having noticed the growing popularity of stencils, the idea was picked up by more eminent brands and began to produce their own, more expensive and high-quality counterparts.

Of course, talking about which option will be better, cheap or expensive, is meaningless. Someone likes high-quality plastic that fits snugly to the eyebrow from popular manufacturers, while someone is content with a low price and is ready to put up with average quality, the main thing is to have a result.

One way or another, a third of these two options arose, namely, the creation of such stencils on our own, at home, but we will talk about this below.

Varieties of stencils

If it seems to you that such a product as a stencil, a priori, there cannot be several varieties - you are mistaken. There are so many various options that the eyes run wide. We will list some of them:

• plastic pads with a slot in the shape of an eyebrow (there are different shapes, thicker and thinner, with a high and low corner);
• overlays-stickers (special forms, silicone-based, so that it is convenient to attach the overlay to the skin and draw an eyebrow);
• a plastic bezel (this thing is one object, on a stick, to hold on to it, on which the stencil is located directly);
• self-made templates (do-it-yourself forms, from cardboard, paper and other improvised materials).

Of course, everyone chooses the option with which he will be comfortable. One way or another, all eyebrow stencils are made in life size, and only in rare exceptions (depending on the type of person) they may differ.

For example, Chinese and Korean forms will be slightly smaller than those from European manufacturers, since different nationalities are completely different types faces.

An eyebrow template or stencil is used to tint the lines neatly. It is made from different materials with a cutout of various shapes. You can find samples for different types of faces, because depending on this parameter, the geometry will vary.

The product is used for different purposes - drawing a line, removing extra hair and shape adjustments. It is very popular, allows you to reduce the time of applying paint on the eyebrows, makes makeup more accurate. There is a wide range of templates.

Choose the shape of the stencil for the eyebrows

@olga_krasiva2008

Before using stencils for eyebrows, you need to select the geometry and determine suitable type products. The most popular are life-size plastic eyebrow swatches.

@tetatet_cosmetics

The product is a rectangle with a hole of the corresponding shape. On sale there are kits for different geometries.

Another type of product is a mask with a mount for drawing the natural shape of the eyebrows. It can be securely fastened, while both hands are free to work. Such a product is popular among beginners due to its ease of use. There are masks that are worn over the nose.

The cheapest templates are made from paper. They are used once, suitable for those who have experience in applying makeup.

@saltanat_centr

There are paper versions that have a base with glue. Their difference is that such items are more convenient to use, as they are tightly fixed on the skin and allow you to work with two hands.

The main difficulty is to choose a form for correction. It is necessary to establish what type of person. If it has a square or rectangular shape, a straight shape should not be used, a gentle rise is applied.

If the face is round, apply arcuate different variants and with a slight break. They focus on the eyes.

@browissimo_nt

With a triangular type, too wide or thin, overly raised lines should be abandoned. You cannot use the direct form. You can make curved lines with a slight smooth rise. At the end, the eyebrow should be narrowed. Almost any shape will suit an oval face, but more often the classic version with a slight break is used, or straight lines are made.

@browissimo_nt

Usually any line implies a wide base, a raised middle part and a tail at the end, which tapers and has a sharp end.

Tips for defining the form:

• Do not make the arcs too high or underestimate them, it is better to focus on the natural location.
• If necessary, to make the face wider, straight eyebrows are performed.
• With a close landing of the eyes, the distance between the arcs slightly increases. If the eyes are set far away, this distance decreases.
• A wide oval can be slightly narrowed using rounded arcs.
• The gap between the lines should be about three to four centimeters.

There are some pros and cons to using templates. The advantage is that as a result you can get symmetrical arcs, it is not difficult to choose the right shape, you can first try on the outlines. Modeling is fast.

@hotshop.msk

The downside is that you can often find only uncomfortable standard stencils that are of the same type and are not suitable for some face shapes. When staining, the result does not always look natural.

The template is easy to use. First, it is applied to the skin and fixed. After that, the form is outlined with a pencil or shadows, in the future the stencil can be removed.

@london_cosmetics_astana

If necessary, excess hairs are removed, the arch cavity is painted. The result obtained is fixed with a gel for fixation. After finishing work, the stencils, if they are disposable, must be thrown away. If they are made of plastic, they can be washed and reused.

If you can not find the product of the desired shape, you can make it at home. To work, you need a pen, scissors and paper, as well as a printer. You can find pictures on the net with a caption that the size is real, or you can adjust the size yourself using programs, after measuring the length of your own eyebrow.

After printing, it remains to cut out the shape and make two such stencils for two eyebrows. To make the product reusable, it is made of plastic - a piece of a container or bottle, a knife is used. The main mistake that occurs when applying a template is an incorrect shape that does not fit the face.

@saltanat_centr

There are different stencils for eyebrows, and you need to use the one that suits the shape and type of face. First, you can make points on the eyebrows with a pencil - mark the beginning, the highest point, and the end of the line, then apply the template.

You can use a ruler for arcs.

@celebrity_professional

With it, the necessary notes are made quickly. To use a stencil - a ruler, you need to place it closer to the arcs. Note the start, break and end points. If there is asymmetry, the points are shifted so that the lines are the same. With the help of markings, you can correctly apply stencils for eyebrows and make the arcs the same.

How to use eyebrow stencils:

• Powder is applied to the arcs to make the drawing more expressive.
• The stencil is applied and fixed.
• Outlined in pencil.
• Templates are removed and the result is evaluated.
• Extra hair is removed.

After drawing the outline, you need to carefully fill it with a pencil or shadows, make a thorough shading. After completing the action, the lines need to be combed with a brush so that they look more natural. If necessary, the hairs are fixed with a gel.

How to make a DIY eyebrow stencil

@look_at_brow

In total, there are three types of products for drawing eyebrows - stencils. They are performed taking into account the actual size of the arches and allow you to draw eyebrows at home.

What types of products are used:

• A card made of plastic with a slot that repeats the geometry of the eyebrow.
• A mask with a fastening at the back, at the back of the head, a ruler.
• Paper stencil with or without Velcro.

Templates are sold singly or in a set of 5-6, there are sets with copies of different models. The stencil can be made independently. For the action you need plastic or cardboard, a marker. First, a suitable eyebrow shape is selected, which is printed in the desired size on a sheet. If a suitable template was previously bought, you can repeat its outlines.

A strip is cut out of plastic or paper that matches the desired shape. Both the left and right eyebrows should be drawn on the sheet. If the drawing is planned to be cut with scissors, a puncture is made in the center, and then cut out the desired shape. The stencil should not have any hooks or bumps so as not to scratch the skin.

If you want to make a mask for drawing lines, an additional tape or strap is used to which the stencils are attached. The advantage of such a product is that the hands become free, it is more convenient to apply makeup and pluck out excess hair.

Almost every woman's day begins with makeup. It takes a lot of time and effort, and not always everything turns out perfectly and the first time. But if the shadows and lipstick can be washed off and reapplied, you will not return an unsuccessfully plucked eyebrow back. You can not take risks and go to the beautician. But what if life proceeds in an emergency mode and there is simply no time left for a beauty salon? It was for this case that eyebrow stencils were invented.

Types of ready-made stencils and their disadvantages

Three types of stencils are available for sale:

• mask with a "nose", two temples and slits for the eyebrows;
• plastic strip on straps with Velcro and two cut-out eyebrows;
• a small piece of plastic with a cutout for one eyebrow.

It is most convenient to use an eyebrow stencil in the form of a plastic strip on the belts. It can be fixed at the back of the head with Velcro. At the same time, both hands remain free, and the risk of applying the second eyebrow asymmetrically to the first (higher, lower, at a different angle) disappears.
Unlike the strip on the straps, the mask and single template have to be held by hand. However, this is not such a big disadvantage. Therefore, when choosing an eyebrow stencil, the focus is on the shape of the eyebrow pattern. After all, choosing among the many ready-made eyebrows the one that suits you is not so easy.
Small single stencils are not sold individually. And this is their big disadvantage. After all, out of 6 or more copies included in the kit, only one is really useful. It's a shame to overpay for something you won't use.
In addition, cunning marketers came up with a brilliant move to increase the income of manufacturing firms. Therefore, many of the most popular forms are sold complete with powder, tongs, pencil, mirror and other related products that you do not really need in this moment. However, in pursuit of an eyebrow pattern that suits you perfectly, you will have to lay out your hard-earned ones and for the “appendage” to the stencil.
To avoid all these unpleasant moments, many women are thinking about how to make an eyebrow stencil with their own hands.
The advantages of this approach are obvious. In search of the perfect eyebrow shape, you do not have to buy a whole set, or even several. But do-it-yourself stencils also have disadvantages. They don't always work the first time. It is not always possible to make a cut without notches, "burrs" and other defects. However, this is fixable.

Method of making templates and their use

So, to make eyebrow stencils with your own hands, you will need the following tools and materials:

• felt-tip pen or marker;
• stationery knife or scissors;
• needle and thread;
• transparent plastic (packaging box from a supermarket, a bottle, a dense stationery folder or any other product made of thin plastic);
• thin straps from old things, satin ribbon, etc.;
• Velcro;
• drawing of the desired shape of the eyebrow (Fig. 1).

From transparent plastic, first cut the tape for the entire forehead. Attach to yourself, mark the center of the resulting rectangle, as well as the beginning of both eyebrows. It would be nice to draw a flat horizontal line marking the top of the eyebrow line.
Save and print the drawing that suits you. If its dimensions do not fit, increase or decrease it. Then put a picture under the plastic so that the tops of the eyebrows touch horizontal line. This will help keep your brows even. Do not forget to take into account the marks of the beginning of the eyebrows.
If you have nowhere to print the picture, attach the plastic to the monitor and transfer the image with a marker. If possible, fix the plastic with something so that the hand does not tremble and the drawing does not move out.
When the eyebrows are drawn, you can start cutting. It is better to do this with a clerical knife.

So that there are no teeth and notches, it is better not to pierce the plastic through, but to drive with sawing movements along the perimeter until the middle is squeezed out.

If you can't cut straight with a knife, use scissors. To do this, in the middle of the picture (in the part that will fall out), make a hole. If the plastic does not lend itself to breaking, heat the scissors over a fire. After the cutting part of the scissors penetrates the plastic, start cutting towards the edge of the picture. And then it will be easy to make a cut around the perimeter without damaging the material.
When the slits for the eyebrows are ready, make small rectangular cutouts for the straps around the edges. Pass a ribbon or strap through them and sew. Try on and mark the places where you need to sew Velcro. A couple more strokes of the needle - and the stencil for eyebrow correction is ready.
If this method of making a stencil seems too laborious, you can make a small template for one eyebrow, which you will apply to the eyebrows in turn and hold with your hand during the makeup process. Making it yourself is much easier. All you need is a small square of plastic, a drawing, a felt-tip pen and scissors. Further, everything is similar to the above.

The stencil is easy to use. Powder is applied to the eyebrows, a stencil is applied, the free space is shaded with a dark pencil. The stencil is removed, all excess hairs are plucked. The shape of the eyebrows is obtained without the slightest flaw. If the task is to simply draw an eyebrow without plucking, powder is not needed. Simply, quickly and effortlessly, the eyebrow slit is shaded with shadows, and you can run about your business without fear that the eyebrows will be drawn in different ways.

Eyebrow stencils presented on the Internet are in most cases laid out in a raster (dotted) format. They do not have any specific scale, since the size of the printed image depends on the resolution of the printer, the software used, and other technical factors. is problem number one.

To solve this problem, you need a computer with a standard set of software and an inkjet or laser printer, which is in every office. :

• Printing a stencil from a text editor;
• Printing with a graphic editor;
• Translation of the stencil for eyebrow makeup from the screen.

From a text editor

This easy way free to make a life-size eyebrow design template that takes a minimum of time. It will require a computer with a document editor installed. For example Wordpad. Let's use his example to show the whole process.

The advantage of this editor is that it allows you to insert an arbitrary image into the document and it has a "ruler" tool with marked divisions in its arsenal. This line can be used to evaluate real size printed stencil, and, if necessary, stretch or shrink it with the mouse or touchpad. The process looks like this:

• Open the editor;
• Press the "images" button;
• Select the downloaded file with the image of the eyebrow;
• We adjust the size according to the ruler;
• We send a template for makeup for printing.

When rescaling, keep the proportions of the picture so as not to distort the original form of natural size.

Of course, the first time you may not be able to print stencils for eyebrows in the right size - in this case, try again by adjusting the scale. If you managed to find and download a stencil with ready-made divisions, then the task is simplified, since it will be enough to adjust the size of the divisions on the downloaded image to the line of the document editor. Attach plastic to the printed image and transfer the image to it.

Using a graphic editor

This method also does not require much effort. You will need a simple and affordable graphics editor, such as Paint from Microsoft.

Since this editor is not equipped with a ruler that can be used to estimate the actual size of the template, the fitting process is different here. First, open the downloaded stencil image with an editor, and then change the image properties. To do this, go to the "File" menu and select "Properties". Here you can adjust the size of the image in various units, such as centimeters or millimeters. Check the box next to the appropriate unit of measure and enter the required dimensions in the fields. If the original image goes beyond the specified limits, you will have to repeat all the operations, having previously reduced the scale of the picture. When the original image completely enters the corrected frames, stretch the eyebrow pattern to the specified boundaries. At the same time, keep the proportions so as not to lose the original shape of the picture. Now everything is ready for printing, but there is one thing left - before sending it to the printer, you need to open "Page Setup", where you specify a scale of 100% of natural. Now you can safely click on the printer icon and transfer the stencil to plastic.

By the way, if you have some skills, this method allows you to adjust the shape of the template, as they say, “for yourself”.

Screen translation

The only skill that is needed here is the ability to change the scale of the image. Open the image in any viewer program, and then resize it to achieve the desired result. To estimate the correct scale, attach a ruler to the screen. When the size of the picture is selected, attach the plastic to the screen and circle the picture with your hands. This will require a little more effort than translating from a paper template, but may take less time. Below are some free brow design templates that you can print at full size.

Making a do-it-yourself transparent plastic stencil has several advantages over buying ready-made templates. One of them is making a set of templates on your own, and the opportunity to try different options for yourself by choosing the right makeup.

The cosmetic industry has come up with many ways and tools that are designed to be created at home in the shortest possible time. Stencils are a novelty that has already gained popularity around the world due to its ease of use and affordable price.

• The required drawing should be transferred to the workpiece. If the current shape of the eyebrows suits you, then you can attach a plastic tape to them and circle them along the contour.
• Next, you need to cut the resulting arcs using a clerical blade.
• For the convenience of the stencil, it is worth supplementing it with fasteners. From the sides you need to make cuts, fasten the ribbons or sew on the belts.

An important point is to pay attention during printing, that is, to control the scale of the image. The size must be real, otherwise they simply cannot be used.
