How to Shape and Tint Your Eyebrows and Eyelashes

What you need: 

1. Tweezers 

2. Tissues 

3. Cotton wool 

4. Eyebrow brush 

5. 1 spatula 

6. Lamp 

Procedure for perfect eyebrow shaping: 

1. Always sterilize your tweezers beforehand. 

2. Sterilize the area that needs to be shaped with hibitane. 

3. Place one tissue on top of your client’s head.

5. Cool down the area by wiping it with hibitane. 

How to do correct eyebrow shaping to complement your eyes: 

1. Basic line - this area can be identified by placing your spatula on the outside corner of your nose and the inside corner of your eye. Any hair that grows in-between that line must be removed. 

2. Lengthening line- Place your spatula on the outside corner of your nose, taking it all the way to the outside corner of your eye/eyebrow. This is where the lengthening line must stop. 

3. The point where your brow arches- Let your client open her eyes and look in front of her, then place the spatula on the outside of her iris. This is where the brow must arch.

Procedure for eyebrow and eyelash tinting: 

1. Make sure that all eye make-up is removed. 

2. Take some rounded cotton and cut it in half. Take one half and cut out a rounded shape onto it. These cotton shapes will go underneath your eyelashes. 

3. The cotton wool must be thin enough and must be the length of your eye shape. 

4. Take a cotton bud and apply Vaseline all around your eyebrows. Make sure that no Vaseline touches your eyebrows. Also, apply some Vaseline onto your eyelid and underneath your eyes. 

5. Choose the correct color tint according to your client’s needs and mix it with 2-3 drops of peroxide. Make sure that the paste is even and not clumpy. 

6. Apply some tint onto the bottom eyelashes while her eyes are open; then apply it onto the top eyelashes while your client’s eyes are closed. 

7. Make sure that the eyelashes are covered all the way to their roots. To remove excess tint from your eyes or eyelids, you can just take a cotton bud and lightly wipe it off. 

8. Leave on for 10 - 20 minutes. 

9. While your client is relaxing, wipe out the tint from your glass bowl. Brush your client’s eyebrows with an eyebrow brush in the opposite direction that it is growing. Mix the correct color for your client’s eyebrows, with 2- 3 drops of peroxide. 

10. Apply it against the hair growth and make sure that all the hair is covered. Comb it then neatly. 

11. Leave for 5 minutes. 

12. Remove the tint with damp cotton wool in an upwards movement. Make sure you remove all the excess Vaseline as well. 

13. Remove the damp cotton wool underneath your eyes. Take more damp cotton wool and remove any excess tint from your eyelashes. Just to ensure that all tint is removed, take some damp cotton buds and gently roll them over the client’s eyelashes. 

14. Throw in some eye drops if the client’s eyes are burning.
