Ensure brows and lashes are completely free of makeup, oils, and residue before beginning the procedure. Clean hair ensures even color absorption.

Professional tip: Many professionals prefer shaping the brows before tinting.

Select a tint shade that complements the client's natural brow color, skin tone, and desired outcome. When in doubt, start with a softer shade and adjust future services based on the client's preference. Berrywell offers a range of professional shades for customized results.

In a glass dish, mix the tint color with the 3% developer in a 1:1 ratio (equal parts). Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no visible streaks or unmixed product before application.

Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly around the brow area to help prevent staining. For lash tinting, place under-eye pads to protect the skin beneath the lashes.

Apply the mixture carefully using a tint brush for brows and a mascara wand for lashes. Work in small sections and fully coat each hair while keeping the product within the desired brow shape. Ensure even coverage and avoid direct contact with the eyes.

Let the tint process for approximately 8–10 minutes, or according to manufacturer guidelines.

Remove the tint gently using damp cotton pads. Ensure all product is fully removed. If the result is lighter than desired, the process may be repeated carefully.
