A great product, even for beginners!
I have never tinted my brows before and usually use a medium brown brow pencil, but this kit in dark brown was perfect. The manufacturer specifically recommends NOT using it for brows, so if you are sensitive I would recommend doing a patch test. I did a patch test first which didn't show any reaction, and have never had a reaction to dyes before so I was comfortable using it on my brows.<br /><br />I mixed the powder with the developer, let it sit for about a minute, and then applied to both brows at once, starting at the tails and working my way in.<br />I made sure to apply very lightly towards the middle where my brows meet, and added extra to saturate the arches and tails while I let it sit. I had it on for about 6 minutes, from when I first started applying. Then I washed it off with soap and warm water.<br /><br />Some tingling sensations, but no burning and my skin didn't get red, after 15 to 20ish minutes those were pretty much gone. It does stain the skin so I was very careful to stay inside the lines where I would normally fill my brows, and if I did spill over, to wipe it off right away. It also says to not use on skin that has been freshly waxed, plucked, or shaved, but I plucked my eyebrows a few hours before I applied this tint and it was fine.<br /><br />The instructions say to add a full capsule of powder into the mixing bowl they give you, but after doing it once I know I could easily do only 1/2 a capsule for both brows, possibly even 1/4, so it should last me more well over 20 applications.<br /><br />The patch test on my wrist has so far stood up to multiple hand washings, at least 2 direct scrubbings with soapy water and a towel, and one scrub with straight isopropyl alcohol with only minimal fading. So even though I know the skin on my face will exfoliate faster, I am confident it will last.
