If you don’t have the time and desire to draw your eyebrows daily, but for some reason you can’t decide on a permanent makeup procedure, the solution for you will be eyebrow dyeing. Plain paint, of course, does not last as long as tattooing or microblading, but it gives space for experimentation and is an absolutely non-invasive procedure. Now on the market you can find quite a lot of manufacturers of eyebrow paints with a very rich color palette, so you can easily find among them the shade you need. In addition to color, there are other criteria for selecting paint, for example, you need to decide what kind of consistency of paint should be.
Consistency
- Gel. The name speaks for itself, gel-like paint is not very successful, since it is difficult to apply;
- Cream. The most popular among paints is eyebrow cream-paint, it is easy to apply and pleasant to the touch;
- Capsules It allows you to immediately measure the desired dosage, henna is included in its basis.
Let's talk about the most popular, namely eyebrow cream-paint. You can be repelled by the fact that the composition of paint, by definition, includes chemistry that is unsafe for the skin and the body as a whole. In some ways you are right, but do not forget that any makeup is chemistry and even if you dye your eyebrows with a pencil, it will not be 100% safe either, only you will use it every day, and once a month. So that you don’t have any fear regarding the composition of the paint, we’ll talk about which components are included in most eyebrow cream paints. Recall that the paint consists of two components: a tube of cream and a jar of oxidizing agent.
Oxidizer
- Aqua - water
- Acrylates \ Palmeth - 25 Acrylate Copolymer - a copolymer that regulates viscosity
- Hydrogen Peroxide - Hydrogen Peroxide
- Disodium EDTA - Carcinogen
Cream
- Cetearyl alcohol - dries the skin and is responsible for accelerating the transport of substances
- Water
- Ceteareth-23 - emulsifier
- Ethylene Glycol Polymer - Softens the Skin
- Preservatives - irritate the skin and eyes
- Triethanolamine is a toxic substance, but in the right dosage it normalizes the skin's PH
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate - Responsible for Creating Foam
- Hydrogenated castor oil - softens the action of aggressive components, moisturizes the skin
- Sodium erythorbate - it allows you to store paint for a long time and is an antioxidant
- Henna
- Cetrimonium chloride - promotes uniform application of paint
As you can see, all components will not harm the skin if applied in the right proportions, according to the instructions. Also, before staining, it is important not to forget to conduct an allergy test, for this, apply a small amount of paint to the area of the wrist or behind the ear and observe the reaction during the day, and when buying, you must definitely check the expiration date.
