Have you ever done a brow tinting session and ended up with less-than-perfect results?
It’s a common frustration, but one that the Élans Smart Brow Tinting System is here to solve. This system stands out for its unique approach to brow tinting, combining gentle formulas with remarkable effectiveness.
With groundbreaking neutral pH formula and components like Heliogenol™, this system not only delivers stunning, long-lasting colour but also cares for the skin and hair.
But, to get the best results, you need to avoid the common mistakes that can compromise the tinting process. It’s more than just applying the tint; it’s about understanding the dos and don’ts that ensure flawless results every time.
Brow tinting mistakes – no.1: Improper brow cleansing
The foundation of a great brow tint lies in proper skin preparation, and that starts with deep cleansing.
Using harsh or aggressive scrubs can damage your client’s skin and affect how the dye sets on the eyebrows. That’s why it’s crucial to choose a product that is not only gentle but also fixates the tint.
We recommend Élan Cleansing detox-mousse. The formula of the mousse is designed to cleanse without stripping the moisture while preventing dryness and irritation. Because of undecylenic acid, it has bactericidal properties making it perfect for clients with sensitive skin.
Additionally, its unique blend of natural extracts and moisturizers helps prep the skin for creating an ideal canvas and ensuring the tint adheres deeply and evenly to the skin.
The result? A flawless and lasting tint that beautifully complements your client’s natural features.
Brow tinting mistakes – no.2: Waiting for the tint to oxidize
In brow tinting, timing is everything.
A common mistake is waiting for the tint to oxidize before applying it to the eyebrows. This can lead to uneven tint distribution and patchy results.
To achieve the perfect colour intensity, apply your Élan colour mixture immediately following the defined shape of the eyebrows. Leave it on for 5-10 minutes, depending on the client’s desired tint intensity.
By applying it directly without waiting, you take advantage of its quick-acting formula, resulting in a more uniform and predictable tint. This approach eliminates guessing and allows precise control over the tinting process, ensuring a professional and satisfying outcome for every client.
Extra tip: Mix the tint and the oxidizing emulsion in a ratio of 1:1. Always use a non-metallic bowl to mix the solutions. Why? When metal comes into contact with the tint and oxidizer, it can react chemically, potentially altering the colour and effectiveness of the mixture.
Brow tinting mistakes – no.3: Uneven tint application
Achieving an even and natural-looking tint is crucial. A common mistake occurs at the start of the brows where the tint application can be uneven. To get this right, use a precise brush for a more controlled application.
And if you do go over the lines, don’t worry! Élan Skin colour remover is your best friend.
Élan Skin colour remover is specially formulated to gently and effectively remove excess tint without irritating the skin or disturbing the tint within the brow area. With this product you can correct any mistakes easily, making it perfect for achieving that natural ombré effect.
By avoiding these common mistakes, you can ensure a flawless application every time. Remember, the key to perfect brow tinting lies in the details – from the way you cleanse and prepare the brows, to how you time and apply the tint.
With these tips, you’re well on your way to becoming a brow-tinting pro!
