Method of shaping eyebrows
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 for shaping and presenting an eyebrow above an eye on a face by applying makeup to the face to represent the eyebrow, the face having a nose, and the nose having first and second nostrils comprising the steps of:
identifying a first guide line as a vertical line from the middle of the first nostril of the face corresponding to said eyebrow, the eyebrow being the eyebrow on the face being above the respective first nostril;
determining a Starting Point (“SP”) for the eyebrow from the middle of the first nostril as a first intersection point of the first guide line and a beginning of the said eyebrow, the eyebrow being the eyebrow on the face being above the respective first nostril;
identifying a second guide line as a line defined by an outer edge of the said first nostril and the outside end of the eye corresponding to the said eyebrow, the eyebrow being the eyebrow on the face being above the respective first nostril;
determining an End Point (“EP”) for the eyebrow as an intersection of the second guide line and the said eyebrow, the eyebrow being the eyebrow on the face being above the respective first nostril;
identifying a third guide line as a line defined by the tip of the nose and a center of an iris of the eye below and corresponding to said eyebrow;
determining a High Point (“HP”) for the eyebrow as an intersection of the third guide line and said eyebrow, the eyebrow being the eyebrow on the face being above the respective first nostril;
applying and using an eyebrow stencil on the face with a cut out related to the SP, EP and HP, the eyebrow stencil having an outline including a straight edge for location above the eyebrow, the straight edge being for location substantially horizontally when shaping the eyebrow; and
shaping and presenting said eyebrow by applying makeup to the face to represent the eyebrow, the eyebrow being the eyebrow on the face being above the respective first nostril as defined by the SP, the EP and the HP.
2. A method of shaping and presenting an eyebrow above an eye on a face by applying makeup to the face to represent the eyebrow, the face having a nose, and the nose having first and second nostrils, comprising the steps of indicating a Starting Point (“SP”) for the eyebrow from the middle of the first nostril on a first guide line running vertically through the first respective nostril from the middle of the first nostril corresponding to said eyebrow and at a first intersection point of the first guide line and said eyebrow; the eyebrow being the eyebrow on the face being above the respective first nostril determining a Starting Point (“SP”) for the eyebrow from the middle of the first nostril as an intersection of the first guide line and said eyebrow and at an intersection of the first guide line and said eyebrow, applying and using an eyebrow stencil on the face with a cut out related to the SP, the eyebrow stencil having an outline including a straight edge for location above the eyebrow, the straight edge being for location substantially horizontally when shaping the eyebrow; and shaping and presenting said eyebrow by applying makeup to the face to represent the eyebrow, as defined by the SP as the start of the eyebrow.
3. The method of claim 2 including indicating an End Point (“EP”) on a second imaginary line connecting the first nostril to the outer edge of a respective eye, determining the End Point (“EP”) as an intersection of the second guide line and said eyebrow, and shaping and presenting said eyebrow as defined by the SP and the EP.
4. The method of claim 2 including indicating a High Point (“HP”) on a third imaginary line between the first and second imaginary lines, the third line passing over the center of the eye, and determining the High Point (“HP”) as an intersection of said third guide line and said eyebrow; and shaping and presenting the said eyebrow as defined by the SP and the HP.
5. A method of shaping and presenting an eyebrow above an eye on a face by applying makeup to the face to represent the eyebrow, the face having a nose, and the nose having first and second nostrils comprising the steps of indicating a Starting Point (“SP”) for the eyebrow from the middle of the first nostril on a first guide line running vertically through a respective nostril from the middle of the nostril and at an intersection of the first guide line and a beginning of said eyebrow, the eyebrow being the eyebrow on the face being above the respective first nostril, indicating a High Point (“HP”) for the eyebrow on a third imaginary line, wherein the third guide line for the HP passes through a tip at a center of the nose, applying and using an eyebrow stencil on the face with a cut out related to the SP and HP, the eyebrow stencil having an outline including a straight edge for location above the eyebrow, the straight edge being for location substantially horizontally when shaping the eyebrow and shaping and presenting said eyebrow by applying makeup to the face to represent the eyebrow as defined by the SP and the HP.
6. The method of claim 5 including determining the High Point (“HP”) as an intersection of the eyebrow, the line passing through a pupil at a center of an iris of the eye.
7. The method of claim 6 including determining an End Point (“EP”) for the eyebrow as an intersection of a second guide line and said eyebrow, and shaping and presenting the said eyebrow as defined by the SP, the EP and the HP.
8. The method of claim 5 including determining an End Point (“EP”) for the eyebrow as an intersection of a second guide line and said eyebrow, and shaping and presenting said eyebrow as defined by the SP, the EP and the HP.
