At Brow LiftingThe hairs are smoothed and lifted with a chemical solution so that they are more flexible and can take the desired shape, thereby concealing gaps or protruding areas. Once your natural eyebrow hairs are straightened, a setting solution is applied to keep the hairs straight and, if desired, colored. The result is fuller brows that stay in place when brushed and last around six weeks.
However, if you decide not to visit a beauty salon and want to care for the appearance of your eyebrows yourself at home, then carefully follow the steps in this guide. The Brow Liftingwill transform your face into a more harmonious version of itself.

Using a lotion that is not specifically formulated for eyebrows may produce suboptimal results. That's because eyebrow lotion is designed not to damage the skin (unlike all fixatives that are not intended for direct skin contact). In other words, the eyebrow lotion is optimized to deliver phenomenal results specifically for the eyebrows. - Nourishing lotion for comprehensive care

- Brow lifting glue (hypoallergenic and suitable for direct contact with skin)
Step by step tutorial for brow lifting
First, you need to soften the keratin of the hair with the eyebrow lifting lotion - this is the only way you can work on and shape the brows. You then need to fill in the sparse areas and blend the color. The new direction of the brow is fixed with an eyebrow fixing lotion. Finally, the nourishing overall care lotion strengthens the eyebrows and fixes the cuticle of the hairs, while it moisturizes and regenerates the skin.
Step 1: Preparation and Cleaning
First, gently cleanse the skin under your eyebrows, preferably with a micellar cleanser. Avoid any scrubbing or exfoliation during this phase to avoid irritating your skin.
Step 2: Apply lifting lotion
Apply the lifting lotion - it opens the cuticle of the brow hairs. Follow these steps: quickly coat the entire brow in a circular motion to allow the product to penetrate the entire outer layer of the brow hairs. Applying the lifting lotion takes about 5 to 6 minutes, depending on the type of eyebrows. For thicker brows 6 minutes are needed, for thinner brows no more than 5 minutes.
Caution: Too long use can irritate the skin. We recommend that you start a timer as soon as the product comes into contact with the skin. When the time is up, gently wipe it off with a cotton ball.
Step 3: Apply the Brow Lifting Fixing Lotion
The fixing lotion for brow lifting closes the cuticles of the brow hairs. Use it immediately after wiping off the previous lotion (without rinsing). Apply the lotion with a lip brush and brush the eyebrow hairs thoroughly, making sure to cover the entire brow. This step takes about 5 to 7 minutes, regardless of brow type. Wipe off the lotion with a cotton pad.
If you would like to color your brows during a brow lift
Step 4: Color eyebrows (optional)
If you need to color your eyebrows, this is the time to do it - right after you apply the setting lotion. To do this, apply the brow color with a flat brush. You don't have to leave it on for as long as usual because the cuticle layer of the hair is already opened by the fixing lotion and the coloring therefore works faster. Finally, wipe off the excess paint with a damp cotton swab.
Step 5: Apply nourishing lotion
Finally, it's time to apply the care lotion. It nourishes and repairs damaged eyebrow hair and skin. But that's not all: it also gives your brows shine and intense volume while fixing them in their new shape. Leave it on for 6 minutes and then remove the excess with a dry cotton swab. Finally, apply wax and pluck your brows if necessary. If necessary, you can finish by applying a final coat of cleansing lotion.
