Eyebrow stencil holder
View Patent ↗A novel gauging device and associated stencils facilitate the shaping of eyebrows according to a Golden Ratio standard. The gauging device is adapted to be placed over a woman's face and maintained in a fixed position relative to her eyes and nose. A nosepiece and knobs are adjusted such that a lower end of a guide rod may be rotated about various points relative to the nose and held in predetermined angles relative to the nose and eyes, possibly supported magnetically on a lower track adjacent the nostrils and an upper track above the eyebrows. An eyebrow stencil is held in a desired position relative to the previously positioned guide rod, which facilitates convenient application and symmetrical shaping, preferably with frictional clamps for permitting the stencil to be shifted in place so that a particular portion of the stencil is properly aligned with the guide rod after the guide rod has been aligned with an appropriate Golden Ratio marking on the stencil. Each stencil may be provided with more than one set of such markings to accommodate not only different eyebrows of different sizes, but also to adjust the eyebrow's ideal Golden Ratio “High Point” to complement facial proportions (preferably represented by a single Facial Ratio Value or “FRV” that takes into account several different measured ratios) that deviate substantially from an ideal Golden Ratio. A slim tab between the upper and the lower edges of the stencil cut-out preferably provides a convenient reference mark for the “High Point” of the unadjusted cut-out.
1. An eyebrow stencil holder for supporting an eyebrow stencil with respect to a Starting Point (“SP”) on a first imaginary line running vertically through a respective nostril, an End Point (“EP”) on a second imaginary line connecting the nostril to the outer edge of a respective eye, and a High Point (“HP”) on a third imaginary line between the first and second imaginary lines, said holder comprising:
a mask-like headband adapted for placement on the forehead above the eyebrows;
an adjustable nosepiece extending downwardly from the headband including an angle bracket that is adapted to be positioned adjacent to the nostrils;
at least one angle guide rod slidably and rotatably attached to the angle bracket whereby the angle guide rod can be successively positioned along said first, second and third imaginary lines, to thereby locate said SP, EP and HP; and
at least one frictional clamp attached to the headband for slidably and retractably supporting the eyebrow stencil in front of a respective eyebrow whereby a cut-out in the stencil can be positioned in different predetermined relationships with said SP, EP and HP.
2. The eyebrow stencil holder of claim 1 , wherein:
the angle guide rod further comprises a magnetic knob;
the angle bracket is curved and made of a ferrous material that provides a track for slidably and rotatably supporting the magnetic knob; and
the adjustable nosepiece further comprises a vertical nose length bar adapted to extend from the forehead to the tip of the nose with the angle bracket extending across the lower end of the nose length bar and curving around the nose.
