How to Use Eyebrow Stencils the Right Way

Quick answer: To use eyebrow stencils correctly, choose a shape that suits your face, line the stencil up from the inner corner of your brow, hold it flat and steady, then press powder inside it and lift straight up. Use the same stencil on both brows so they match. The most common mistake is placing the stencil unevenly on each side.

Step-by-step with a stencil

1. Pick your shape — see how to choose a stencil shape.
2. Align from the inner corner so both sides start at the same point.
3. Hold it flat against the skin, no gaps.
4. Press powder or stamp inside, then lift straight up.
5. Repeat with the same stencil on the other brow.

A stamp combines the stencil and powder in one tool — see what is an eyebrow stamp kit.
