Thread attended a demo this week for the original eyebrow stencil kit from US brand Senna Cosmetics, Form-A-Brow Kit, and learned how to create our ideal brow shapes with a no-brainer plastic stencil and a brush rather than an eyebrow pencil…
For women with faint, disappearing brows, sparse brows, and particularly over-tweezed / over-waxed brows, the kit shows you the ideal shape.
Founder and creator of Senna Cosmetics, Eugenia Weston, created her own line and was the first licenced professional make-up artist in the State of California. She created cardboard stencils for her clients and noted four shapes kept coming up, so she made the 4 shape eyebrow stencils: fine, natural, full, and extra full.
Now, Senna is used by many Hollywood and TV stars and was recently used in Twilight Breaking Dawn and on American Idol. The professional grade cosmetics used on screen are the same products that consumers can buy in retail.

Dianna has a make-over in Senna Cosmetics by Senna Education Manager Letiticia Benetez.
Leticia stressed the importance of primers, to lock in your moisturiser and smooth out lines.
The finished result- a defined brow using the stencil shape ‘fine’.
The Form-A-Brow kit contains 4 brow stencils, 3 brow powder colours in a mirrored compact and a brow grooming and colouring brush. I tried out the Neutral 3 colour kit which has shades for brown, blondes and dark hair.
At first I applied it too thickly and I looked like an early Brooke Shields circa Blue Lagoon. But not in a good way. My second attempt with a lighter touch was a lot more natural. The trick is to lightly load the brush with colour and not go back for more too quickly.
Also, go for the lighter rather than the darker shade as it comes out very pigmented. I used the lightest and it was stil quite strong.
Senna Cosmetics is available in NZ directly from Creative Nails NZ.
