Easy to use, worked on my skin where hair is sparse
Super easy to use! It worked really well on the tails of my brows where my hair is really sparse and is mostly skin.
I decided to order this product because the majority of the reviews were positive and it was under $13 so it wouldn't be a huge loss if it resulted in a similar experience to the negative reviews. I can't speak yet to the longevity since this morning was my first application, but it was extremely easy to use and the color held on my skin just as well as it did the hair.
What I did:
- For application I used an angled eyebrow brush and a spoolie.
- For the fuller parts of my brow I mixed the henna powder with a few drops of water at a time until I got a brownie batter consistency
- For the tails of my brows where it's thinner and the hair is sparse, I added more water until I got a liquid eyeliner consistency
- I had qtips ready and used neosporin (I didn't have vasoline or petroleum jelly so I had to get creative) on the skin above and below the brows so that I could easily clean up any areas where the dye shouldn't be
- I left the henna on for 20 minutes and did a second application immediately after
- Instead of washing the dried henna after 20 min like directed in the instructions, I used the spoolie to brush it off like you would with a henna body tattoo
I'll update my review tomorrow and speak to longevity at that time
Update:
The color faded more than I had hoped, but I applied for 3 mornings in a row (2X each) and now it's staying a little better. If you look up close you can tell, but just looking at myself in the mirror, it looks fine, more like natural brows than the trendy filled in/shaped brows which is what I prefer. I've added a picture from this morning (1 week since first application) so you can see what I mean. I imagine for people like me, with little to no hair in areas, it will last about a week or two depending on your skin, and by last I mean to the extent of the updated photo. It's not perfect, but for me it's still better than coloring them in every morning, especially as summer brings the warmer weather. I don't have to worry about touching up the make up, or sweating it off midday
