Eyes Lips Face Eyebrow Stencil vs. Anastasia Stencils

Eyes Lips Face Eyebrow Stencil ($1) is a reusable stencil that is easy to use with 4 stencils: Curved Arch, Soft Arch, Structured Arch and Full Arch to choose from, making these brow stencils suitable for all brow shapes. Now your brows can look picture perfect everyday! “Choose the stencil that best fits your natural eyebrow shape. The stencil should align at point 1 and point 2 and much of your natural brow hair should be inside the stencil cutout. Next fill in the brow area with your desired filler preference, such as a brow pencil or a brow powder. Use the same stencil for both eyebrows, simply flip and repeat the previous steps to fill in your other brow.”

Recommendation: Great price compared to Anastasia’s $20 stencils. You can get the same look with both stencils but at a fraction of the price. Even if you don’t want to use this as a makeup stencil you can use this as a guide on how to shape your brows.

e.l.f. Tweezer vs. Tweezerman

Eyes Lips Face Professional Perfect Tweezers ($1) is a slanted tweezer like Tweezerman’s ($20) for easy and accurate tweezing. Both are made of stainless steel and provides the user with a strong grip that will easily remove unwanted hairs. As you can see from the picture e.l.f.’s doesn’t have the same sharp edges as Tweezer man and it’s width is smaller. I was hoping that e.l.f. would be comparable to Tweezerman. I was unsure but it was only $1 so I gave it a try and actually bought 2 in case it would be really good. I tweeze my eyebrows everyday so it is really important for me to have a good tweezer that won’t take up a lot of my time. With Tweezerman I can pull out a short hair in 1-2 tries but with e.l.f. I had to go back 2-4 times to get it since it kept slipping out. (more…)
