8 Brow Stamp Mistakes to Avoid
There are several common misconceptions about brow stamps like that they’re not natural looking and they’re difficult to use. However, you can definitely get showstopping eyebrows if you use the right product the correct way.
Steer clear of these common mistakes.

- Customer reviews

- Cruelty-free
- Water-resistant for all-day wear

- Being Afraid
If you’re avoiding joining the eyebrow stamp trend because you’re not sure how to do it, what it will look like, or not being good at it – don’t. I promise it’s very easy to use! In fact, our brow stamp kit is perfect for beginners and experts alike. It comes with 6 stencils so you can try out different ones to see which one works best for you.
- Choosing the Wrong Color
When you use a brow stamp, the last thing you want to do is pick the wrong color. This is what gives an unnatural look. You definitely want to avoid going too dark. Instead, select a color that’s slightly lighter or similar to your brow color.
Our brow stamp kit comes in 5 different shades. Check out our brow stamp color guide to pick the one perfect for you.
If you’ve already purchased your eyebrow stamp kit, you can lighten and darken the color if needed. To darken it, repeat the process of applying the stencil and color. If you want to lighten the color, press the eyebrow stamp onto a tissue to get rid of excess product.
- Not Being Mindful of the Shape
Brow shape matters! In fact, it’s just as important as the color. The shape of our eyebrows affect other facial features and brighten our overall face. The good news is that most brow stamp kits provide several shapes to choose from.
Here’s how you can choose the right brow shape for your face.
- A high arch and full brow are best for a round face.
- A straight brow and minimal arch are best for a long or oval face.
- A soft arch is best for a square face.
- A natural brow with a slight arch is best for a rectangular face.
- A curved, full brow is best for a diamond-shaped face.
Indecisive about what your brow should look like? Try all the stencil options in your eyebrow stamp kit and see which one you like best!
- Worrying About Making Them Identical
Have you ever heard the old saying, ‘brows are sisters, not twins?’ This is because they don’t need to be identical! A popular eyebrow mistake is driving yourself crazy over making them look exactly alike. But, luckily this actually isn’t necessary.
Of course, you want to use the same stencil for each brow, but don’t worry if they’re in slightly different places or the shade isn’t perfectly the same. As long as they look pretty similar, you’re good to go.
- Over Tweezing
While plucking until we had barely-there brows used to be the trend, it’s not anymore. If you’re using a brow stamp, you probably want eyebrows that make a statement. So, go ahead and put the tweezers down. Only tweeze when you see a stray hair grow in that’s away from the brow line.
If you’ve already plucked a little too much, not a problem. Just leave the tweezers alone for a little while your hairs grow back in and focus on boosting your brow look with your stencil.
- Not Being Patient
We’ve all done it. We try a new product out and it doesn’t look like perfection on the first try so we say nevermind. If you’re patient in trying out your new brow stamp kit, you’ll be thankful! The great thing about most eyebrow stamps is that they’re easy to wipe off and try again if you mess up. After a few attempts, you’ll be applying your stencil like a pro on the first try.
- Not Maintaining Your Brows
It’s important to remember that even though you have a new brow product to keep your eyebrows looking fresh, you still need to maintain them for a top-notch look.
A simple way to boost your brows is to brush them. Lightly brush through your brow hairs in its natural direction to blend the color and finish the look. You can also use a brow soap after applying your stencil and letting the stamp dry. The soap will create a fuller, more groomed look.
