If you’ve got a fast car, fast food and fast fashion you need a fast face. Make up stencils aren’t exactly a new thing but they’re having a bit of a come back at the moment and with my love of all things futuristic I had to investigate. First there’s the classic brow stencil which means you can create the perfect Audrey Hepburn, Angelina Jolie or Brooke Shields look through a simple piece of plastic and just colouring in. Surely there’s no excuse now for the Scouse Brow? Brow extraordinaire Anastasia Beverley Hills does a great set of stencils that look technical enough to sit in your make up bag without giving away too many secrets of your prefect brows. Next stop is eye stencils which range from a simple Marylin Monroe flicked eyeliner to Divine style eyeshadow, check out Beth Bender’s Cat Eye Stencil for some basic linear guidance or go full power with Violet Glitterati Eyes. Finally we have to talk about lip stencils and transfers. Old school lip stencils were mainly there for shape guidance but that’s nothing a trusty MAC Lip Pencil can’t take care of, the new wave of lip transfers could give Blade Runner a run for it’s money. Whether you’re getting patriotic with the Union Jack or matching your to your leopard print nails Violent Lips are going to have something for you so go get your face on. Fast.
