RefectoCil Lash and Brown Tinting - Mini Starter Kit

1. Remove makeup and cleanse lashes and brows so they are clean, dry, and oil-free.
2. Place protective pads under the lower lashes.
3. In a bowl, mix approximately 2 cm of tint with 10 drops of oxidant until creamy.
4. Apply to lashes or brows using the brush and leave for 5–10 minutes.
5. Wipe off with a cotton pad, then rinse thoroughly with water.

• Skipping the protective pads under the lower lashes: increases the risk of skin staining or eye irritation. Always place pads before applying tint.
• Estimating the tint-to-oxidant ratio without measuring: an off-ratio mix can develop unevenly. Use the stated 2 cm of tint to 10 drops of oxidant.
• Rushing the mixing step: an under-mixed paste can be lumpy or inconsistent. Mix until fully creamy before applying.
• Not doing a patch test as a first-time user: any new tint product carries a small allergy risk. Patch test before the first full application.
• Leaving the tint on beyond 10 minutes hoping for more colour: risks skin irritation, especially for a beginner still learning to judge timing. Stay within the 5–10 minute window.

Can Deep Black and Natural Brown from this kit be mixed together for a softer black-brown tone?

Yes, RefectoCil cream tints are mixable across shades, so combining the two included colours is a reasonable way to create a softer, in-between tone for a client who finds pure black too harsh.

As a beginner, how do I know when to wipe off the tint instead of following the timer exactly?

Since hair porosity varies, checking the colour with a damp cotton swab a minute or two before the planned removal time is a good habit to build early, rather than relying purely on the clock every time.

Is it normal for the mixed paste to feel slightly thin compared to what I expected?

The Oxidant Cream is formulated to be gentle and easy to mix, so the resulting paste is naturally softer than some professional-strength combinations — as long as it's smooth and creamy rather than watery, it's within normal range.

How many times can I reuse the mixing bowls and brushes included in the kit?

They're designed to be reusable across many applications as long as they're cleaned thoroughly with warm water or a degreasing solution between uses to prevent product buildup affecting future mixes.

If I'm using this kit on myself at home, is there anything I should do differently from a salon application?

Working in a mirror on your own eyes takes more care with pad placement and timing since you can't rely on a second set of hands, so many home users find it easier to start on brows only before attempting self-application on lashes.
