RefectoCil Base Gel

1. For lash tinting, attach Lash Lift Shield with Skin Protection Cream and Eye Mask.
2. Optionally apply Intense Brow[n]s Intensifying Primer to eyebrows only, leave for 4 minutes, and remove with a dry Q-tip.
3. Apply the Base Gel, in your chosen shade, and leave on for 2 minutes, then remove with a dry Q-tip.
4. Apply Intense Brow[n]s Activator Gel and leave on for 1 minute, then remove with a moist cotton ball.

• Leaving the Base Gel on longer than 2 minutes: can shift the intended colour balance before the Activator Gel is even applied. Follow the stated timing closely.
• Skipping eye protection pads or papers for lash tinting: risks skin staining or eye irritation. Always protect the lower lash line before starting.
• Applying to lashes or brows with leftover makeup or oil: interferes with even colour uptake. Cleanse and degrease the area first.
• Forgetting to follow with the Activator Gel promptly: the Base Gel alone won't develop into the final colour. Move to the Activator step without long delays between steps.
• Combining Base Gel from one shade with Activator timing meant for another: can produce an unexpected result. Keep the full sequence consistent for the shade being used.

Why did the tint result come out lighter or darker than expected?

The Activator Gel's dwell time is what develops the final depth of colour, so even small variations in that one-minute step can shift the outcome. Keeping a consistent timer for both the Base Gel and Activator Gel steps is the most reliable way to get repeatable results.

Can two Base Gel shades be combined for a custom tone?

The Base Gel and Activator Gel steps are formulated to work together as a set, so blending two different Base Gel shades isn't a documented use of the system. If a custom tone is needed, it's safer to test on a small area first rather than assume the shades will blend predictably.

Why does colour show up unevenly on lashes versus brows in the same appointment?

Lash hair and brow hair have different textures and often different levels of natural oil, which can affect how evenly the gel sits before the Activator develops it. Treating each area as its own timed application, rather than rushing through both at once, usually improves consistency.

How does client skin sensitivity factor into using this system?

Because the system is applied close to the eye area, a patch test before a first-time application is good practice, even though it isn't unique to this specific colour. Any known sensitivity to tint ingredients should be flagged before starting the Base Gel step.

Does room temperature affect how the Base Gel and Activator Gel perform?

Gel-based systems can develop slightly differently in very warm or very cold treatment rooms, similar to other tint chemistries. Keeping products at a stable, moderate room temperature helps keep timing and results consistent from client to client.
