My eyebrows are pale in colour and look almost non-existent when I don’t put any products on them. That’s why I decided to try out a Dybrow kit and review it at the same time.
For the purpose of full disclosure – I chose and paid for the eyebrow kit myself. This is not an ad, but sales links included will be affiliate links.
Dybrow Review
I chose to go with Dybrow as a product partly because I consider Eylure a trusted brand (I already love their lashes), and partly because I could get it the next day on Amazon Prime.
I went for the dark brown colour because I wanted there to be a noticeable difference after I’d tinted my brows, but there are other colours available too.
Dybrow Review: What’s in the box?
Inside the box is a mixing tray that doubles up as packaging, a mixing stick, a spoolie brush, the dye and the dye’s activator. There should be enough for 12 applications, which for me would be about a year’s worth of product. Not bad for about a fiver!
There are also instructions which you should definitely read. The instructions recommend you do a patch test, which I didn’t bother with. Luckily I was fine, but even if you’ve had no problem with other dyes in the past, you really should do a skin test (I only learnt that afterwards when I was chatting about my experience.)
Dybrow Before and After
These are my patchy, pale eyebrows before I dyed them:
You have to mix the dye with the activator, then apply a barrier cream to your face before putting the dye on your brows. I think you’re supposed to use Vaseline for the barrier but I didn’t have any so used Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream.
Once I’d covered the skin around my eyebrows with the barrier cream, I applied the dye freehand. I used an angled brow brush then combed it through with the spoolie, leaving the tint to work its magic.
Dybrow – The Results!
Immediately after washing off the dye and barrier cream, I didn’t really notice that much of a difference. I don’t know if it was because while the dye was doing its magic, my eyebrows looked quite dark, but initially, I wasn’t sure much had changed.
The next day when I looked in the mirror I found that I could see my eyebrows a lot better. It’s been about 4 weeks since I first dyed my brows and although I was initially disappointed, I can definitely see a difference.
I’ll probably dye my brows again in a week or so, and I’m hoping to keep it up for the foreseeable future. The results seem to be similar to when I used to have my brows tinted in a salon.
If you’re thinking of trying this at home, I’d say it’s definitely worth giving it a go.
It’s great to tint eyebrows and eyelashes when they naturally grow in quite full. It can mean you don’t need to use mascara or brow products and can get away with just tinting the hairs. If they don’t naturally grow in thick, a lash serum can work for both lashes and brows to help them grow in thicker, darker and more luscious!

I have used this product in the past, but found for it to be really noticeable I mixed the dark brown with a little of the black. It meant buying two packs but me and my friend did each others so halved the cost that way. I bought the wrong one last time and just got Brown – oops. But worth a try mixing if you want it a little darker. That said I can really tell you have done them on the pic!
