To improve their image, women resort to various procedures, including eyebrow dyeing. For a daily result, they use decorative cosmetics, and for a long-term effect - a special paint. The staining procedure can be carried out both in the salon, trusting the hands of a professional, and independently at home. Let's talk about the second option.
We select eyebrow dye for your color type
It is not difficult for a professional to find the right shade, but what about those who plan to paint the house?
A few recommendations before self-staining:
- Owners of a dark blond shade, as well as brunettes with fair skin should choose an identical shade or 1-2 tones more networked. For swarthy skin, professional paint is necessary for black eyebrows.
- Blondes, red-haired and owners of an ashy shade should choose a paint a couple of shades darker.
How to choose a professional paint for eyebrows and eyelashes?
So, if this type of staining is new to you, then begin your experience with the selection of funds. How to choose a paint based on your color type, we learned, so go to the next nuance.
Decide on the desired product structure - friable or pasty. If you rely on usability, then, according to customer reviews, gel (professional) paint for eyebrows and eyelashes is considered the best. The advantage of the product is the ease of mixing, that is, it is guaranteed that you will not be mistaken with the proportions.
Do not neglect the rule of studying the composition of the paint. The abstruse names of the ingredients will tell little to the ordinary consumer, but if the paint contains components such as castor oil and various vitamins, you can safely make a purchase (reviews confirm the benefits of such a product).
Is harm possible?
Before staining, many are asked about the dangers of paint. You can answer it this way: it is not useful. Incorrect use of the product leads to dermatitis, as a result of which the loss of eyelashes and eyebrows begins. However, in most cases, the paint does not affect the skin.
It is worth recognizing that modern cosmetology does not stand still and is developing, therefore, a new generation of products with no harmful substances began to appear on the market.
Inventory selection
Professional kits often include everything you need for staining. Just in case, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the inventory that will be required during the procedure:
- ceramic, glass or plastic container;
- cotton swab, unused mascara brush or stick with a corrugated tip;
- gloves
- protective agent to prevent skin pigmentation: cream, petroleum jelly, cotton pads.
Rating of 5 best eyebrow colors
Cosmetic companies often produce whole lines of eyebrow tinting products. The most popular of them are:
1. Igora Bonacrom by Schwarzkopf - despite the high cost, professional dye for eyebrows and eyelashes is considered the market leader. Igora is produced in Germany and is currently presented in three shades - black, brown and extremely black. The consistency of the paint is creamy, does not pigment the surface of the skin and, most importantly, does not irritate the eyes. In addition to the instructions in the kit there are special paper strips for dyeing eyelashes, a small bottle for mixing paint and a spatula for applying. According to customer reviews, the product from the Igora brand differs from its colleagues not only in high cost, but also in durability. In addition, the result is maintained for a long time.
2. RefectoCil - paint (professional) for eyebrows from the Austrian brand is considered one of the best in the number of shades, mixing which you can get the desired colors. At the moment, the company produces two options for black and brown paint, as well as blue, graphite and red shades. RefectoCil also produces a special paste for brightening eyebrows. According to the manufacturer, as a result of use, you will get the desired shade, which will last up to three weeks. The advantages of the product, according to the opinions of customers, include hypoallergenicity, a specially developed caring composition and reusability. There is only one drawback: paste for clarification is purchased separately.
3. Estelle - domestic eyebrow dye (professional), reviews of which are most often found on thematic forums, offers two options for dyeing: Only Looks and Enigma. The first product includes 2 shades of black, gray and brown. In Enigma, in addition to the primary colors, there are two brown, emerald, dark purple, burgundy. Also in them there are pigments that give shine. A significant plus, according to customers, is the large volume, which is enough for 8-10 months of regular use. However, there is a flaw in Enigma. It consists in the presence of resorcinol and ammonia, which can cause irritation of the eye mucosa and intolerance. But the neutral-alkaline balance in Only Looks, on the contrary, does not cause allergies and is recommended for use with sensitive skin. It should also be noted that the Enigma is very persistent. Estelle products are widely used by stylists, according to whom the brand has the best eyebrow paint (professional) in Russia in terms of quality and price.
4. Rokolor is another domestic product with an economical expense and a fairly low cost. On average, one tube of paint is enough for 1 year of use. The Rokolor product does not contain hydrogen peroxide, and the product itself does not irritate the skin and gently stains eyebrows. Among the shortcomings include the limitedness in the palette. Rokolor is available in only two shades - brown and black.
5. The last representative of domestic production - paint (professional) for eyebrows from the Studio brand. The kit includes a measuring cup that allows you to dose the product, and the product itself does not pigment the skin. The disadvantages of the customer were the presence of hydrogen peroxide, which often causes irritation, the duration of the staining procedure (up to 20 minutes) and the lack of an applicator in the kit, which is necessary for mixing paint.
How to dye eyelashes?
The mixture for staining is prepared before the procedure and in no case before. Initially, the paint has a light shade, but when applied to eyebrows with eyelashes, it darkens.
Judging by the reviews, all colors have almost the same cooking order. And if you are new to this business, strictly follow the instructions on the product packaging.
Before staining the eyelashes under the eyes, apply a layer of cream for protection. Then the eye closes, and a napkin or cotton pad is placed under the eyelashes . The paint is applied in a thick layer and left for 5 or 10 minutes.
When washing, never rub your eyes.
How to wash off the paint with an eyebrow?
If the coloring was unsuccessful (the color turned out to be too dark or even completely different), then the pigment can be washed off. Never use acetone or other harsh chemicals. Better use the following methods:
- Take vegetable oil (castor, olive, sunflower, almond), apply on eyebrows and leave for a quarter of an hour. Remove and wipe with alcohol-based lotion. Repeat several times until the desired result.
- Make applications using lemon juice or a solution of citric acid: apply cotton pads moistened with liquid for 3-5 minutes on eyebrows and rinse with water. Despite the effectiveness, the procedure can cause slight redness.
- Moisten a cotton swab in hydrogen peroxide, walk along the eyebrows and rinse with water exactly 15 minutes later. To get the desired result, the procedure is performed several times.
- The last way is to use laundry soap. It is enough to soap the hairs and rinse after 10-15 minutes. You will get the desired effect only after 1-2 days of regular use of the method. This option is suitable in cases where no previously mentioned funds are available at all.
Eyebrow tinting
Professional eyebrow paint "Henna" is a product made by lawsonia inermis technology. The powder is obtained in dry, hot countries from a shrub plant. The most popular in cosmetology is Indian and Iranian henna. Moreover, the first option, as the reviews show, demonstrates the most striking result.
According to the instructions on the package, dissolve the henna and set aside for the specified time for infusion. How to carry out the procedure? In almost the same way as dyeing eyebrows with professional paint:

How to strengthen cilia and eyebrows after staining?
Regular brush massage using warm oil and vitamins for even growth.
