Steps
Do a patch test 24 to 48 hours before. Put a drop of each solution behind your ear or on your inner forearm and check for redness, itching or swelling.
Cleanse your brows with a gentle cleanser and cotton pads to remove oil, makeup and skincare. Dry the skin fully so the solutions can work.
Map your shape with a pencil or ruler: mark where each brow should start, arch and end. Pluck only the stray hairs outside that shape.
Use the spoolie to brush every brow hair upward and outward, following the direction you want the final lift to go.
Apply the lifting solution to the brow hairs with the angled brush, keeping it 1 to 2 mm away from the skin and out of your eyes.
Leave the lifting solution on for the time your kit states, usually 8 to 12 minutes for the first use. Cover with cling film if the kit advises it.
Remove the lifting solution with a dry cotton pad or the kit's cleanser. Do not wet the brows with water at this stage.
Brush the hairs back into place and apply the fixing solution over the same area. Leave it on for the time the kit states, usually 5 to 8 minutes.
Remove the fixing solution, then apply a nourishing brow oil or balm to soften the hairs and condition the skin.
Keep the brows dry for 24 hours. No washing, makeup, sauna or swimming, and brush them upward each morning to hold the shape.
Tips and common mistakes
Never leave either solution on longer than the kit says to avoid over-processing and brittle hairs.
Keep the solution off the skin itself, since it can irritate or lighten the area around the brow.
Skip retouching for 4 to 6 weeks, and give your brows a break if they feel dry or crunchy.
If you tint as well, do it after lamination, not before, so the colour sets evenly.
Questions
How long does brow lamination last?
Most people get 4 to 6 weeks from one treatment, depending on how fast your brow hairs grow and how well you keep them dry at first.
Can I do brow lamination if I have sensitive skin?
Only after a patch test with no reaction, and avoid it completely if you have eczema, psoriasis or broken skin around the brows.
Can I wear makeup after laminating my brows?
Yes, but wait 24 hours. After that you can fill gaps with pencil or powder as usual.
