Application Clean eyebrows with oil-free make-up remover Do not mix Gel 1 and Gel 2. The two gels are applied sequentially Apply Gel 1 with the dyeing stick Leave on for 2 minutes. For a lighter result, only leave on for 30 seconds Remove Gel 1 with a cotton swab or cosmetic tissue For a particularly intense result, wait 5 minutes before applying Gel 2 – this allows the eyebrows to dry completely Outline eyebrows with eyeliner or fatty cream to prevent staining; this also gives the eyebrows a frame Apply Gel 2 precisely with the dyeing stick so that all hairs are coated Leave on for 1 minute. Once the eyelashes/brow hairs turn black, the development of Gel 2 has begun – but this is not the final colour! Remove Gel 2 with a damp cotton pad Remove any staining with Beautylash Colour Stain Remover Tip: Clean the dyeing stick with a cosmetic tissue before applying Gel 2, as Gel 1 and Gel 2 should not be mixed.
