Schwarzkopf Brow Tint in Dark Brown is designed to provide a natural-looking, yet significantly enhanced, dark brown tint to your eyebrows. When applied correctly, it effectively darkens and defines individual brow hairs, including fine or light ones, creating the appearance of fuller, more structured brows.
Perform a Patch Test: Always conduct an allergy patch test 48 hours before each use, even if you've used the product before. Apply a small amount of the mixed solution to a clean, small area of skin on the inner elbow or behind the ear. If any irritation occurs, do not use the product.
Clean Brows: Ensure your eyebrows are clean, dry, and free from any makeup, oils, or creams. Use a non-oil-based cleanser to thoroughly clean the brow area.
Protect Skin: Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or a rich cream around the eyebrow area, avoiding the brow hairs themselves. This acts as a barrier to prevent skin staining.
Mix the Tint: Follow the instructions provided in the product packaging precisely. Typically, this involves mixing a small amount of the developer liquid with the tint cream in the mixing tray until a smooth, uniform paste is formed. (Info needed: specific ratio if available)
Apply Carefully: Using the applicator stick or brush, apply the tint mixture evenly to your eyebrow hairs. Work from the inner corner of your brow outwards, ensuring all hairs are thoroughly coated. Be precise and avoid getting the product on your skin outside the brow area.
Processing Time: Leave the tint on for the recommended processing time. For a lighter shade, start with the minimum time; for a darker, more intense result, you can extend it slightly, but never exceed the maximum time specified in the instructions. (Info needed: typical processing time range)
Remove Tint: Once the processing time is complete, gently remove the tint using a damp cotton pad. Wipe from the inner corner outwards until all residue is gone. Rinse the area with cool water if necessary.
Your eyebrows will appear visibly darker, fuller, and more defined. The permanent formula ensures the color is waterproof and smudge-proof, lasting up to 4 weeks, after which it will gradually fade. Regular maintenance every 3-4 weeks is recommended to retain optimal brow definition.
Getting started with your Schwarzkopf Brow Tint requires a few pre-application steps for safety and best results:

Preparation: Ensure eyebrows are clean, dry, and free of makeup or oils. Protect the surrounding skin with petroleum jelly.
Mixing: Accurately mix the tint cream and developer as per package instructions in the provided mixing tray.
Eyebrows Only: This product is specifically formulated for use on eyebrows. It is not suitable for eyelashes or other body hair.
Shade Suitability: The Dark Brown shade is best suited for individuals with dark brown natural hair color or those desiring a dark brown brow shade.
Skin Types: While generally compatible, a patch test is crucial for all users to ensure no adverse reaction.
Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Seal Tightly: After each use, ensure all containers are tightly sealed to maintain product efficacy.
