Fans Sueltos Promade Marrón 5D 0.07

1. Cleanse and prime thoroughly - oil residue shows faster on brown fibre than on black.
2. Assess the client's natural lash tone in daylight before committing to a full brown set.
3. Map the set, deciding whether brown runs throughout or blends with black through part of the eye.
4. Isolate a single natural lash cleanly.
5. Dispense a slightly larger glue dot and keep it clean, since cured adhesive is more visible against brown.
6. Dip the base only, keeping the fibres clear.
7. Place the fan flat, matching curl and length to any neighbouring black fans.
8. Check the finished set in both salon light and daylight before the client leaves.

• Full brown on very dark natural lashes - artists assume brown always softens, but against jet-black lashes it reads greyish and sparse. Blend with black or reserve for lighter lash tones.
• Over-gluing - cured adhesive catches the light against brown fibre and looks like debris. Keep dots small and tweezers clean.
• Skipping the daylight check - salon lighting hides tone mismatch and clients notice outside.
• Placing brown on the lower layer - the softening effect is lost behind darker fans. Keep brown on the top layer if you are blending.
• Assuming brown reduces density - it changes contrast, not coverage; a client wanting both softness and fullness may need a density step.

CHOCO BROWN VS. DARK BROWN VS. BLACK

• Tone - Choco Brown (caramel): Warm, light, hazel-caramel | Dark Brown (espresso): Deep, cool-leaning brown | Black: Neutral jet black
• Best natural lash tone - Choco Brown (caramel): Blonde and light-to-mid brown | Dark Brown (espresso): Mid-to-dark brown | Black: Dark brown to black
• Contrast - Choco Brown (caramel): Lowest - softens most | Dark Brown (espresso): Moderate | Black: Highest
• Blending - Choco Brown (caramel): Creates a warm gradient with black | Dark Brown (espresso): Reads close to black at distance | Black: Standard base tone
• Client profile - Choco Brown (caramel): Wants undetectable enhancement | Dark Brown (espresso): Wants definition with softness | Black: Wants visible lash impact
• Typical use - Choco Brown (caramel): Natural sets, bridal, hybrids | Dark Brown (espresso): Everyday soft sets | Black: Core volume sets

Materials: PBT pro-silk fibre pigmented in choco brown, with a light cosmetic bonding agent at the base. Vegan, latex-free and cruelty-free. Patch test new clients for adhesive sensitivity.

How do I choose between Choco Brown and Dark Brown for a client?

Match the tone to her natural lash and hair, not to her preference in the abstract - caramel suits blonde and light brown colouring, while espresso suits mid-to-dark brown lashes where caramel would look washed out. Holding both against her lashes in daylight settles it in seconds.

A client wants brown but has black natural lashes - what do I recommend?

A blended set rather than full brown: black through the lower layer and inner corner for depth, brown through the top layer and outer third where light hits. Full caramel brown on black lashes tends to read dusty rather than soft, which is rarely what the client had in mind.

Why does my brown set look patchy after two weeks?

Usually build-up rather than colour change - sebum and product residue dull brown fibre far more visibly than black. Reinforce the cleansing routine before assuming the set has faded or shed unevenly.

Does brown suit a full volume set or only hybrids?

It suits both, but the effect changes: a full brown volume set reads soft and dimensional at density, while brown in a hybrid reads more as warmth and texture. The one thing to avoid is selling a full brown set to a client who wants obvious drama, since brown reduces the contrast that creates it.

Should I adjust length when working in brown?

Slightly longer often works well, because the lower contrast means the set reads shorter than the same map in black. Adding a millimetre through the centre compensates without adding weight, which is a better route than adding density.
