Tinting Procedure

Before you indulge in direct application of the eyebrow tinting base, perform a patch test. If possible, do it two days before performing this procedure. That way, you can ensure whether the chemical formulation is safe for your skin or not.
Make the paste as per the instructions, apply a small amount on your hands, and check the after reactions. Once you are confirmed that the beauty product is safe, only then proceed with tinting eyebrows.
Go through the user directions mentioned in the leaflet. As you open an eyebrow tinting kit, you will find two paste tubes of different shades, probably of brown and black color. Mix appropriate amounts of the paste until you get the color of your choice.
Add the tint developer as instructed and combine well with the paste. Using a cotton ball, rub the skin areas surrounding the brows with petroleum jelly.
The next step is to apply the paste to the eyebrows. Using an eyebrow brush, gently coat the brows with the tinting paste, starting from the inside of the brows and working your way towards the outer side. Repeat the same step for the other eyebrow.
Allow the color to set for the stipulated time period. Following this, remove the paste gently with a cotton pad. Your eyebrows will not only appear thick, but you will also have the color of your choice.
After you are done with the procedure, before and after look of your eyebrows can be compared. You can definitely make out significant enhancement in your brows. However, tinting eyebrows is not the end of the story.
It is to be borne in mind that regular threading, shaping, and trimming eyebrows should be followed even after tinting your brows. With this cosmetic procedure, you do not have to worry about putting eye makeups everyday before you step outside.
