Abstract: Background of the Invention The invention relates to cosmetic devices in the area of eyebrow contour tools. Although there are several eyebrow tools that aid eyebrow shaping on the market (like stencils, stencil holders and measuring guides), many tools currently available are awkward to use without two hands, very time consuming and are not suited to easily follow the individuality of natural eyebrow shape. Many devices on the market do not , account for the differences and individuality in the shape of the eyebrows and that is what the eyebrow contour tool addresses. With one hand, the novel eyebrow contour tool creates two consistent width of lines of eyebrow pencil makeup to create evenly contoured, symmetrical and full eyebrows in minutes. Each individual has unique width, thickness, and length of eyebrows and this tool addresses all people's unique shapes allowing the most natural contouring for optimum eyebrow shape. This novel tool allows the user to use one hand to effectively define and shape each eyebrow with consistent and equal width, following the unique natural shape of the user's eyebrows. This invention effectively allows the user to enhance what they already have for the most natural look. Summary of the Invention The invention is an eyebrow contour tool that solves the following issues in eyebrow shaping: creates two lines with consistent width of eyebrow pencil makeup, creates consistent symmetrical contours on each eyebrow, and is easily held in one hand. All together, these issues have not been addressed in prior patents or patent applications. The device secures two eyebrow makeup pencils in place at a width set by user, allowing the user to use one hand while two makeup pencils simultaneously draw and contour the eyebrow. The invention provides advantages especially in the field of eyebrow makeup application due to the symmetrical contours, ease of use with one hand, natural enhancement of individual eyebrows and time saving benefits. The user secures their preferred eyebrow makeup pencils in the device, adjusts the placement of the pencils higher or lower to determine the width of the makeup pencil tip which thus creates the width of the user's eyebrow. The eyebrow contour tool, set at the user's preference width, will simultaneously line the top and bottom contours of the natural brow shape. Starting at the beginning of the brow, lightly move the tool across the brows in a consistent line, the pencils will draw a top and bottom line representing the top and bottom edge of the eyebrow. When the tool comes to the arch, rotate the bottom of the tool towards the outside of the face. By turning the tool, the pencils narrow in width and create the natural shape to the tail end of the eyebrow where it naturally narrows. The top and bottom brow line have now been created with symmetrical guides. The process is repeated on the other brow and the symmetry remains intact from completing the first eyebrow. Use one pencil of the eyebrow contour tool to create light strokes to fill in eyebrows between the lines and then use an eyebrow brush on the other side of the eyebrow makeup pencils to blend the final look. With the device in one hand, beautifully contoured eyebrows are created in minutes.
