Method of using an eyebrow stencil holder
View Patent ↗A novel gauging device and associated stencils for 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. Each stencil may be adapted 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 deviate from an ideal Golden Ratio.
1. A method of using an eyebrow stencil holder, comprising the steps of:
providing an eyebrow stencil holder, comprising a headband, a nosepiece, and a guide rod capable of laving out a vertical line that runs through the middle of a client's nostril;
providing an eyebrow stencil, comprising a cut-out with a blunt inner end and a tapered outer end;
placing the headband on the forehead of a client with the nosepiece supported on the client's nose;
using the guide rod to lay out a vertical line that runs through the middle of a respective nostril;
finding the client's ideal starting point (“SP”) where the vertical line intersects the client's arched eyebrow line;
mounting said eyebrow stencil in said eyebrow stencil holder with said blunt inner end of said cut-out aligned with the client's SP, and with said tapered outer end of said cut-out aligned with said outer portion of the client's eyebrow line;
using the guide rod to lay out a sloping line connecting the edge of the respective nostril with the outer edge of the client's respective eye;
finding the client's ideal end point (“EP”) where the sloping line intersects the client's arched eyebrow line;
finding an ideal high point (“HP”) on the arched eyebrow at an intermediate location between the SP and the EP to thereby split the client's eyebrow arch in accordance with the client's facial proportions;
using the blunt inner end portion of the eyebrow stencil cut-out to shape the inner portion of the eyebrow;
positioning the stencil with an intermediate Golden Ratio HP location aligned with the ideal HP;
using the middle portion of the eyebrow stencil cut-out at either side of the Golden Ratio HP location to shape the middle portion of the eyebrow;
positioning the eyebrow stencil with the tapered outer end of the cut-out aligned with the ideal EP; and
using the tapered outer end portion of the eyebrow stencil cut-out to shape the outer portion of the eyebrow.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps:
providing a set of EP Offset markings on the eyebrow stencil adjacent the tapered outer end; using the guide rod to locate an ideal EP Offset marking close to said sloping line connecting the edge of the respective nostril with the outer edge of the respective eye;
providing a set of HP Offset markings on the eyebrow stencil adjacent the intermediate Golden Ratio HP location;
identifying an ideal HP Offset marking corresponding to said ideal EP Offset marking; and
using the guide rod to lay out an intermediate sloping line from the nose to the eyebrow arch and passing through said ideal HP Offset marking to thereby locate said ideal HP.
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step:
using the guide rod to lay out an intermediate sloping line from the tip of the nose to the eyebrow arch and passing through the center of the client's iris to thereby locate said ideal HP where said intermediate sloping line intersects the client's eyebrow arch.
