Ardell Brow Tint Soft Black, Longer-lasting Semi-permanent Brow Dye, with Natural Extracts, Complete Brow Tinting Kit, 1 pack

I purchased the light brown, I have dark blonde hair that photo bleaches. This was my very first time dying my own eyebrows, so I was a bit nervous however it was pretty easy. I only left the dye on my brows for 5 min bc the dye started looking dark. I think that was the perfect amount of time for me personally, I probably could have left it on a little longer and it been fine. I also probably could go with the medium brown since I have dark blonde hair. I may try it next time to see which I like better. If you have light blonde hair, I probably wouldn’t do more than three minutes and then wait 10 minutes after you take the dye off to see if you want to go darker.

I bought this product in Target before and LOVED it. I was getting to close to needing a new one, so for convenience I ordered a new one off Amazon. I purchased the same color as I did before, dark brown. Something is very very wrong. At first glance I noticed the color of the powder seemed different than my store bought one, but thought maybe mine was just older? Mixed according to the directions ratio and no matter what I kept getting a ball of gel with the powder not dissolving. The color looked like honey, definitely not the dark brown I was used to. Against better judgement, I still tried to put the gel like substance on my eye brow and it would not stay. I then dug out my old one and compared the color of the powder, and despite the new bottle saying “dark brown,” it definitely WAS NOT. Since I was out of my original developer, I then tried to use my original powder with the new developer, this mixed normal, unlike the new powder. Placed it on my brows and let it sit for the required 10 minutes, even though usually I take it off sooner. It did NOTHING. Something is super off about this product, the color is obviously wrong and the developer doesn’t even work. Also I noticed my old powder has a topper on the bottle with little holes for dispensing, however the new one did not? I’m very confused. I want to return it but I am afraid Amazon will just resell it to someone else and I don’t want someone to go through the same thing! Buy it from a store if you can, because the real version works amazing.

I used the medium brown shade and it gave me the perfect brow color—natural but defined. The tint has lasted impressively well, even with regular face washing and daily showers.The kit came with everything I needed (except a Q-tip, which I used for cleanup), and the directions were super clear and easy to follow—even for a beginner. I also love that you can get multiple uses out of it, which makes it a great value for the price.If you're looking for a long-lasting, fuss-free way to tint your brows at home, this is it. Highly recommend!

The developer is clear which, for some reason, threw me. But I gamely gave it a shot. My first attempt to mix ended up pretty sandy and thick (pic with red background). It was nearly impossible to use and I ended up just getting clear liquid on my brows (the sandy mix just stayed on the spoolie or fell off onto the counter) and I decided to try mixing a new batch. Surprisingly, while I was mixing the new batch I looked in the mirror and realized that the first attempt had left color! So my second batch I used a bit more developer and got a thinner, but still somewhat grainy texture (pic with part of the instructions under bowl). I’m used to coloring my hair and used to the colorant being a cream form and the resultant mixture is smoother. But at least this version was easier to spread. 10 minutes later, and it definitely left color. We’ll see how long it lasts!I will say the little spoolie was not optimal for application for me. I think I’ll use a stiff slanted brush next time for more precise control over where I’m applying the dye.Also, the instructions felt a little ambiguous to me. Pea-sized is harder to estimate when the developer is as liquidy as it was. And the 4:1 developer to colorant doesn’t really match the pea-sized developer to 2-3 scoops of color powder. That kind of ends up backwards (1:4). My second batch was closer to the 4:1 ratio but I used more developer (like a nickel-size) and that was a better consistency to work with. So I recommend that you go with the 4:1 direction rather than the pea-size to 2-3 scoops direction.Overall, I’m pleased with the results. I’m glad I gave it a second shot and with the 4:1 proportion.

I have coarse, dark brown eyebrows. I have been dyeing them for over 10 years to cover the gray hairs. Since I could not find the specific Godfrey kit I had been using, I decided to try this kit since Ardell is a known brand.The medium dark brown color is a nice shade that matches my natural brow shade.This kit is different and harder to use. The dye is a powder you shake out instead of a gel/cream. It is harder to determine the right quantity to use. The developer is a runny liquid instead of a cream, so it is harder to adhere to my brow hairs. Any errant application on the skin will temporarily stain, so I always apply at night so I can do a good exfoliation right away and again the next morning.My result is not as good coverage of the gray hairs.This dye does not last as long, requiring weekly application.

I've blond light brown brows you cant see easily. So this gives me fuller looking brows so I dont have to use as much brow gell to give me brows! I mix it like henna till its a paste with the spatula using the powder and developer then wait 5 min . Then apply with the spoolie. I then use a qtip to clean up the excess. It doesnt die my skin. I know I shouldn't double process them but I do two dye sessions after the first dries down and starts crumbleing I use a lightly damp tee shirt rag with water to wipe it off. Then get rinse out the old stuff out of the tray and spoolie ans do another coat. Dry and remove after it does my brows. Takes me about 25 min.
