I have previously worked only with an eyebrow pencil and always had the problem that the two eyebrows not quite had the same bow, when I had finished. That was also the reason why I bought the template. Add to that a ARTDECO eyebrow powder and a brush. I must say that the first applications were not so easy, but with a little practice one knows how much powder is on the brush and how you have to hold the stencil. It works really well, my eyebrows look now symmetrical and properly chic :) am satisfied. Buy recommendation :)
