There are many things (physically) that I wish I had. I wish I was taller. I wish my hair was as thick and lush as it was when I was younger. And I wish I had killer eyelashes like my husband and kids do (their lashes are crazy long!). Another thing would be decent eyebrows.
I’ll admit that I never gave my eyebrows much thought when I was younger… and by younger I mean my 20’s, 30’s or 40’s (I’m fifty something now). The older I get, the more I realize my eyebrows are rapidly disappearing. Not only that, they look “off.” My left eyebrow is very sparse, and my right eyebrow has longer hairs. I do not understand that one bit.
I am using a product to help grow my eyebrows, but I’m sure I have a few more months before they look full again.
I also do not know the first thing about styling my eyebrows. What do I know? I don’t even twease them because I don’t know how I should do it. I see thin eyebrows, I see thick eyebrows, I see arched eyebrows. What type of eyebrow am I suppose to have? What would look best on me?
The thing is, you CAN go to a professional and have your brows waxed and tweezed to look a certain way, but what if you don’t like the way it looks? You’ll have to wait a long time for your brows to grow back again. It would be much nicer if you can style your own eyebrows in a way that you can change the look if you are not happy with them, quickly, easily and painlessly.
You can with AVAKA’s Brow and Stencil Kit!
AVAKA’s Brown and Stencil Kit helps you to create full and symmetrical eyebrows easily. That is another thing I’ve always worried about – what if I tweezed my brows TOO MUCH, where one is totally different than the other?
To use this kit, you first need to choose from one of six brow color shades to best match your eyebrow color. My hair is fair, so I have a light shade. The colors available are;
- Blonde
- Soft Brown
- Taupe
- Medium Brown
- Dark Brown
- Nearly Black
No matter what your brow goals are, this effortless brow hack will take the stress out of making brows full and symmetrical. You’ll notice your eyes stand out more when you create a beautiful frame above them.
To use AVAKA’s Brow and Stencil Kit simply select from one of the several included stencils that shape and style brow you’d like to have.
I received a kit to review that also came with the brand’s freeze gel to not only hold your brows in place, but also to give them a thicker, healthier appearance. I also received a set of eyebrow brushes (which I desperately needed) to help brush and style my eyebrows.
To use this kit, take one of the brushes to apply the eyebrow gel, and brush your eyebrows in whatever way works with the look you are going for. Next, take one of the stencils and place it over your eyebrow. Using the powdered eyebrow brush, gentle tap the eyebrow color over the stencil (hopefully this is making sense the way I am describing it). Then carefully peel the stencil off, and you are left with beautiful brows.
Here is before and after of me using this product.
I’m sorry that the photos are not the best, but you get the idea. It’s me. You can tell by my nose piercing and wrinkles (ugh!).
I can tell you that I have yet to perfect this eyebrow stenciling. I can stencil perfectly, but they don’t always look even. My daughter on the other hand can do her brows using this product and they look perfect every single time. To be fair, I also suffer from severe Carpal Tunnel, which makes typing difficult, let alone doing something like applying an eyebrow powder with a stencil.
I think it’s more a case of “practice makes perfect.” I only practiced on the weekend so as not to go work with eyebrows that are a bit “off.”
Extra brushes to get the perfect brow.
It’s fun to play with the different stencils to achieve a different look. The one I have in the photo above is my favorite. I think it looks more natural. It’s not too thin and not too thick.
I find that the powder stays on all day, until I wash my face. I think the gel really helps to grab a hold of the poweder and keep it on, and in place.
The powder and gel wash off easily too.
I like the final look, I just need to perfect it a bit more. For now I just do it on the weekends, or on days off from work where I don’t care if my brows are slightly off.
