Review (5/5): Must-have product
I have dark, thick hair on my head but for whatever unfortunate genetic reason, I have very light and thin eyebrows, and fill them in with makeup every single day. I have never dyed them before. This dye darkened them to match my hair perfectly, and my method of application gave me the perfect shape with no skin staining or irritation.
First of all, I only used about 1/4 of the powder in the capsule because I could tell that would probably be more than enough (and it was), so this stuff is going to last forever.
Instead of washing my face beforehand, I used a dry microfiber cloth to wipe off my eyebrow area as clean as I could. I think the fact that I didn't wash my face meant that my skin had a small layer of oil on it for protection against staining and irritation. A little oil also will not hinder the hair coloring process.
I used the included application brush, putting very small amounts of the dye on the brush and applying it in light, careful strokes. The movement is like sketching in a sketchbook instead of drawing solid lines all at once, and I did not have a pile of dye on my brows at the end.
I know that with my hair, I need to leave dye on it for a long time, so I left this on for 10 minutes. I rinsed the dye off with cool water to avoid opening up my pores. I checked my brows and thought they could be a little darker, so I re-applied and left on for another 5-10 mins. Total of 15-20 mins.
Finally, I washed it off for good with a gentle unscented soap, using my fingernails to help get all the dye off and exfoliate the skin underneath and around my brows, so I was left with no stains.
And that was that. I have eyebrows now! I can even TOUCH them! I can't believe I never tried this before, this will be a staple in my life now.
