I’m your guide, your guru, your brow bestie, and as the Product Manager at ZenaMakeup, I’m here to spill the tea (or should I say, the tint?) on achieving perfectly sculpted, tinted brows that will have everyone asking, "Did she get a professional treatment?"
Why Brow Lamination & Tinting? The ZenaMakeup Philosophy
Before we jump into the how-to, let’s talk about the why. Why are we even bothering with this brow wizardry? Well, at ZenaMakeup, we believe that brows are the unsung heroes of your face. They frame your eyes, define your features, and can instantly elevate your entire look. Think of them as the curtains of your face – you want them looking fabulous, right?
- Brow Lamination: This is like a perm for your brows (minus the 80s frizz!). It relaxes the brow hairs, allowing you to manipulate them into a desired shape. Think feathery, fluffy, and perfectly positioned. It makes your brows appear fuller and more defined. No more unruly, downward-pointing hairs!
- Brow Tinting: This adds depth and color to your brows, making them appear thicker and more defined, even without makeup. It’s perfect for those with sparse brows or those who want to enhance their natural color. Think of it as giving your brows a little love and attention they deserve!
Why Choose ZenaMakeup’s Brow Lamination & Tint Kit?

Okay, let’s get down to business! Here’s your step-by-step guide to achieving brow perfection with the ZenaMakeup Brow Lamination & Tint Kit:
Lecture 1: Preparation is Key! (The "Before" Phase)
Think of this as your pre-flight checklist. You wouldn’t take off without checking your fuel gauge, right? Same goes for your brows!
1. Gather Your Supplies:
Make sure you have everything you need within easy reach. This will prevent you from running around mid-process looking for a cotton swab like a crazed beauty blogger. Here’s what you’ll need from the ZenaMakeup kit:
- Lamination Solution 1 (Lifting Lotion)
- Lamination Solution 2 (Setting Lotion)
- Lamination Solution 3 (Nourishing Oil)
- Brow Tint Cream
- Tint Developer
- Applicator Wands (Spoolies)
- Micro Brushes
- Mixing Dish
- Gloves (Included!)
- Plastic Wrap (Optional, but recommended)
- Cotton Pads
- Cotton Swabs
- Aftercare Serum (Included!)
- A Timer (Your phone will do!)
- Mirror (Duh!)
- This Guide! (You’re already on it!)
2. Patch Test (Seriously, Don’t Skip This!)
This is crucial, especially if you have sensitive skin or are using a new product. Apply a small amount of each solution (Lamination Solutions 1 & 2, plus the Tint) to a discreet area, like behind your ear or on your inner arm. Wait 24-48 hours to see if any irritation occurs. If you experience redness, itching, or swelling, do not proceed with the treatment. Safety first, brow besties!
(Imagine a small icon of a band-aid to emphasize the patch test)
3. Cleanse Your Brows:
Remove any makeup, oils, or dirt from your brows using a gentle, oil-free cleanser. This ensures the solutions can properly penetrate the hair follicle. We recommend using a micellar water or a dedicated brow cleanser.
4. Comb Your Brows:
Use a spoolie to brush your brows upwards and outwards, into the desired shape. This will give you a better idea of how you want them to look after lamination.
5. Protect the Surrounding Skin:
Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly (like Vaseline) around your brows to protect the skin from the lamination and tinting solutions. This will prevent staining and irritation.
6. Take a "Before" Photo:
Trust me, you’ll want to see the dramatic transformation! Plus, it’s always fun to show off your brow skills.

Lecture 2: The Lamination Process (The "Perm" for Your Brows)
Alright, buckle up! This is where the magic happens. We’re about to transform those unruly brows into perfectly sculpted masterpieces.
1. Apply Lamination Solution 1 (Lifting Lotion):
Using a micro brush, apply a generous amount of Lifting Lotion to your brows, ensuring each hair is thoroughly coated from root to tip. Be careful not to get the solution in your eyes! (If you do, rinse immediately with cool water.)
2. Cover with Plastic Wrap (Optional):
This step helps to trap heat and accelerate the lifting process. Cut a small piece of plastic wrap and gently press it onto your brows.
3. Set the Timer:
The processing time will vary depending on your hair thickness and desired level of lift. Refer to the instructions in your ZenaMakeup kit for specific timing guidelines. DO NOT exceed the recommended processing time! Over-processing can damage your brow hairs. As a general rule:
- Fine/Thin Brows: 5-7 minutes
- Medium Brows: 7-10 minutes
- Thick/Coarse Brows: 10-12 minutes
(Imagine a clock icon with a timer running)
4. Remove Lamination Solution 1:
Once the processing time is up, carefully remove the plastic wrap (if used) and gently wipe away the Lifting Lotion using a dry cotton pad. Do not use water at this stage.
5. Apply Lamination Solution 2 (Setting Lotion):
Using a clean micro brush, apply a generous amount of Setting Lotion to your brows, again ensuring each hair is thoroughly coated. This solution neutralizes the Lifting Lotion and sets your brows into their new shape.
6. Cover with Plastic Wrap (Optional):
Again, this step helps to trap heat and accelerate the setting process.
7. Set the Timer:
The processing time for the Setting Lotion is typically the same as the Lifting Lotion. Refer to the instructions in your ZenaMakeup kit for specific timing guidelines.
The processing time for the Setting Lotion is typically the same as the Lifting Lotion. Refer to the instructions in your ZenaMakeup kit for specific timing guidelines.
8. Remove Lamination Solution 2:
Once the processing time is up, carefully remove the plastic wrap (if used) and gently wipe away the Setting Lotion using a damp cotton pad. This time, it’s okay to use a little water!
9. Comb Your Brows:
Use a spoolie to gently comb your brows into the desired shape. This is your chance to really refine the look and ensure everything is perfectly aligned.
(Table: Lamination Process)
| Step | Description | Product Used | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apply Lamination Solution 1 | Coat brows thoroughly with Lifting Lotion. | Lifting Lotion | Varies (5-12 minutes) |
| Cover with Plastic Wrap (Optional) | Trap heat and accelerate the process. | Plastic Wrap | N/A |
| Remove Lamination Solution 1 | Wipe away Lifting Lotion with a dry cotton pad. | Dry Cotton Pad | N/A |
| Apply Lamination Solution 2 | Coat brows thoroughly with Setting Lotion. | Setting Lotion | Same as Lifting Lotion |

| Remove Lamination Solution 2 | Wipe away Setting Lotion with a damp cotton pad. | Damp Cotton Pad | N/A |
| Comb Brows | Shape brows with a spoolie. | Spoolie | N/A |
Lecture 3: Tinting Time! (Adding Depth & Dimension)
Now that your brows are perfectly laminated, let’s add some color! This will make them appear fuller, thicker, and more defined.
1. Prepare the Tint:
Squeeze a small amount of Brow Tint Cream into the mixing dish. Add the corresponding amount of Tint Developer (refer to the instructions in your ZenaMakeup kit for the correct ratio). Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
2. Apply the Tint:
Using a micro brush or applicator wand, carefully apply the tint to your brows, ensuring each hair is thoroughly coated. Start at the base of your brows and work your way outwards. Be precise and avoid getting the tint on your skin (unless you’re going for a temporary tattoo look!).
3. Set the Timer:
The processing time for the tint will vary depending on your desired intensity. Refer to the instructions in your ZenaMakeup kit for specific timing guidelines. As a general rule:
- Light Tint: 1-3 minutes
- Medium Tint: 3-5 minutes
- Dark Tint: 5-8 minutes
Remember: You can always add more time, but you can’t take it away! Start with a shorter processing time and gradually increase it if needed.
4. Remove the Tint:
Once the processing time is up, gently remove the tint using a damp cotton pad. Be thorough and make sure all traces of the tint are removed.
5. Clean Up Any Staining:
If you accidentally stained your skin, use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to gently remove the stain.
(Table: Tinting Process)
| Step | Description | Product Used | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prepare the Tint | Mix Brow Tint Cream and Tint Developer. | Brow Tint Cream, Tint Developer | N/A |
| Apply the Tint | Coat brows thoroughly with tint. | Micro Brush/Applicator | N/A |
| Set the Timer | Allow tint to process. | N/A | Varies (1-8 minutes) |
| Remove the Tint | Wipe away tint with a damp cotton pad. | Damp Cotton Pad | N/A |
| Clean Up Staining | Remove any tint from surrounding skin. | Makeup Remover | N/A |
Lecture 4: Aftercare is Everything! (The "Happily Ever After" for Your Brows)
You’ve laminated and tinted like a pro! Now, it’s time to show your brows some love and ensure they stay healthy and gorgeous.
1. Apply Aftercare Serum:
The ZenaMakeup Brow Lamination & Tint Kit includes a Nourishing Oil specifically designed to hydrate and strengthen your brow hairs. Apply a small amount to your brows daily, especially after showering or washing your face.
2. Avoid Water & Steam:
For the first 24 hours after the treatment, avoid getting your brows wet or exposing them to steam. This means no swimming, saunas, or steamy showers!
3. Avoid Rubbing or Touching Your Brows:
Resist the urge to constantly touch or rub your brows. This can disrupt the lamination and cause the tint to fade faster.
4. Comb Your Brows Daily:
Use a spoolie to gently comb your brows into the desired shape each morning. This will help maintain the lamination and keep your brows looking their best.
5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals & Exfoliants:
Avoid using harsh chemicals or exfoliants on your brows, as this can irritate the skin and damage the hair follicles.

Troubleshooting Tips & Tricks:
- Brows Not Lifting Enough: Try increasing the processing time for the Lifting Lotion (but never exceed the maximum recommended time!). Also, make sure you’re applying a generous amount of the solution.
- Brows Over-Processed: If your brows appear frizzy or damaged, apply the Aftercare Serum more frequently and avoid any further treatments until they recover.
- Tint Too Dark: Next time, reduce the processing time for the tint. You can also try using a lighter shade of tint.
- Tint Not Dark Enough: Next time, increase the processing time for the tint. You can also try using a darker shade of tint.
- Irritation or Redness: Discontinue use immediately and consult a dermatologist.
Important Considerations:
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Consult with your doctor before using any brow lamination or tinting products if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Allergies: If you have any known allergies to hair dye or other cosmetic ingredients, be sure to carefully review the ingredient list before using the ZenaMakeup Brow Lamination & Tint Kit.
- Professional Advice: If you are unsure about any aspect of the treatment, it is always best to consult with a professional esthetician or brow artist.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
- How long does brow lamination and tinting last? Typically 6-8 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle and aftercare routine.
- Can I wear makeup after brow lamination and tinting? Yes, but avoid applying heavy products to your brows for the first 24 hours.
