Brow Stencil Reviews: What Our Testers Thought

[Read part 1 of this article on How to Shape Your Brows in yesterday’s post.

We purchased two brow stencil products and asked several women to try them out for a week. Here’s a brief description of each product and what our testers had to say.

Ardell Brow Perfection Stencils

The Ardell brow shaping product is an envelope of four transparent plastic stencils: Delicate; Elegant; Glamorous; and Classic. Easy to follow instructions are on the envelope. $4

Tester Comments:
• Good price.
• Plastic should be more flexible. You can’t get a stencil to lay flat against the brow without distorting the shape.
• These take a bit of practice to learn to use, but I like the shapes. There’s one here for every woman.

Anastasia Beverly Hills All about Brows Kit.

The Anastasia kit comes in a pretty pink zipper case and includes: four flexible plastic stencils (Petite Arch, Medium Arch, Slim High Arch and High Arch); two shades of brow powder in a silver compact; brow brush (angled on one end and “spooley” on the other); precision tweezers; and brow gel. Clear directions with diagrams are on the box. $65

Tester Comments:
• I love the kit, but it would be a splurge for me.
• If you price out the individual components, the price is fair.
• The rubbery plastic is very easy to position and hold while filling in my brows.
• The directions are very helpful except I disagree with one thing. If I line up the inner edge of the brow stencil directly above the “center of the nostril”, I get very angry looking brows – like I’m scowling. If I line it up directly above the edge of the nostril, the brows are very flattering. Maybe it’s just me. I have a thin nose and face.
• Best brow gel I’ve ever used.
