Eyebrow Shaping Devices and Methods
An eyebrow shaping device may include a shaping base member and an eyebrow shape holder. The shaping base member may include a first section and a second section that are designed to join together in mating engagement. The first section may include a first eyebrow pattern. The second section may include a second eyebrow pattern. Together the first eyebrow pattern and the second eyebrow pattern may form a complete eyebrow pattern. The eyebrow shape holder may include a body member having a handle extending therefrom. The first and second sections of the shaping base member may be adapted for releasable engagement with the eyebrow shape holder, such as through the use of mating magnets. Using the eyebrow shape holder, the first and second eyebrow patterns are placed into contact with a make-up solution, and then pressed against a person's forehead in the desired position to create an eyebrow.
The present inventions generally pertain to personal grooming devices, and more particularly to devices that can be used to shape eyebrows.
