Review (5/5): but I always hated feeling like I NEEDED to do my eyebrows before ...
Honestly and truly, this eyebrow tint changed my life. I have naturally blonde hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes. I dye my hair regularly to a dark reddish brown, and obviously need my eyebrows and eyelashes to match so as not to look weird. I wear mascara everyday no problem and have been anyways for years, but I always hated feeling like I NEEDED to do my eyebrows before I went into public. Plus I hate feeling like they look drawn on and too done up. Beyond that, if I spent the night at anyone's house I would have to wear at least brow mascara to bed and risked looking bad when I woke up with it smeared all over my face.
I read the reviews before I used this and everyone said to leave the dye on for around 5 minutes. However the box says 2 minutes. The first time I used the dye I was freaking out a little because I thought I was messing up by leaving it on so long. DON'T WORRY. After the first time, I leave it on for closer to 10 minutes now. The dye definitely makes your brows dark, but that's what I prefer.
The first time I used this, it was before I went over to my boyfriend's house for the night. I literally was just laying in his bed smiling at how happy I was that I wasn't wearing any makeup, I felt confident in my brows looking good, and that I wouldn't have to worry about how I looked in the morning. It was such a great feeling! My eyebrows are one of my biggest insecurities and this gave me such a confidence boost!
I actually ended up opening all the little capsules and emptying them into the little bag provided and I just scoop out a little at a time to use. I did this because when I emptied an entire capsule into the little mixing pot, it made SO MUCH DYE and I ended up throwing away 3/4 of what I made. They give you 16 capsules but this still felt like a huge waste. This way I make smaller batches and have less waste and can stretch the product longer.
I'd say the only two cons of this product are that it only lasts maybe 5 days before I have to reapply, and that it's hard to apply it without staining your skin. So don't dye your eyebrows right before you leave your house, I try to do it at night and by the morning my natural oils have made the dye lift a little. By day two you can't see the stains anymore.
