Eyebrow Gel Tint ELAN professional line
What is ÉLAN Brow Gel Tint used for?
It provides intense and even brow tinting, has a gel texture for easy application, and nourishes the skin and hairs with vegan protein in its formula.
What should ÉLAN Brow Gel Tint be mixed with?
The tint must be mixed with either ÉLAN 1% Oxidant or ÉLAN 3.5% Oxidizing Emulsion.
What is the difference between the oxidants?
- 1% Oxidant: provides a more natural shade, does not darken the hairs.
- 3.5% Oxidizing Emulsion: creates a more saturated shade on both skin and hairs.
How to use ÉLAN Brow Gel Tint correctly?
- Cleanse the brows before tinting (recommended: ÉLAN DETOX-MOUSSE).
- Create the desired brow shape.
- Mix the tint with the oxidant in a 1:1 ratio.
- Apply the mixture and leave for 5–15 minutes, depending on the desired result.
- Remove with a damp cotton pad or ÉLAN DETOX-MOUSSE.
- Seal the result with ÉLAN COLOUR FIX fixing fluid.
Does the tint colour change after opening?
Yes, the colour may vary from light brown to black due to contact with air. This is normal and does not affect the tinting result.
Can ÉLAN Brow Gel Tint be used for lash tinting?
No, the product is intended for brows only.
What to do if the tint goes beyond the brow shape?
Immediately remove it with a cotton swab dipped in water or ÉLAN remover to prevent the tint from drying on the skin.
How long does the tinting result last?
The effect lasts up to several weeks, depending on skin type, care, and individual characteristics.
SMART BROW TINTING SYSTEM 2.0
Can the skin be scrubbed before applying the tint?
No. Scrubbing the brows partially damages the upper skin layer (epidermis), which may cause burning or redness during tinting.
How long does the tint last on skin and hairs?
The SBTS 2.0 system ensures skin tinting up to 14 days and hairs tinting up to 30 days. Results depend on skin type and hair structure.
Can SBTS 2.0 cover permanent make-up?
Yes, SBTS 2.0 can cover permanent make-up, providing a dense and saturated brow shade.
Can ÉLAN Brow Gel Tint and SBTS 2.0 be mixed?
No, these are two independent tinting systems with different compositions and working principles.
Can boosters be mixed with products other than SBTS 2.0?
Yes, the «Eyebrow Tint Colour Booster» can be used with any tinting system.
Is there a separate oxidant for boosters?
The «Eyebrow Tint Colour Booster» requires only the 2% Oxidizing Emulsion from SBTS 2.0. The booster and oxidant are mixed in a 1:1 ratio to neutralise unwanted shades.
How many booster shades are available?
The booster line includes two shades:
- 06 INDIGO
- 07 ORANGE
How many shades are in the SBTS 2.0 system?
The SBTS system has three shades:
- 04 ICY cold brown
- 05 SPICY warm brown
- 03 BLACK
What is the purpose of the Smart Skin COLOUR REMOVER 2.0 toner?
It is designed to effectively remove excess tint from the skin and adjust the intensity of skin tinting during the brow tinting process. The improved formula allows for soft blending at the brow base to create a perfect gradient, adjusts colour intensity, and provides a more natural look if needed.
What is the percentage of oxidizing emulsion in SBTS 2.0?
The oxidizing emulsion in SBTS 2.0 is 2%. One bottle of emulsion is sufficient for one tube of «Deep Brow Tint 2.0» tint.
What alkali is used in SBTS 2.0?
SBTS 2.0 uses the innovative alkali — DMAMP ULTRA PC, which reduces the percentage of oxidative pigments in the tint, minimising the risk of allergic reactions and achieving a neutral pH.
How does SBTS 2.0 differ from ÉLAN professional line Brow Gel Tint?
- SBTS 2.0 contains no ammonia or ethanolamine; traditional alkalis are replaced with DMAMP ULTRA PC — a functional analogue, a new generation development, a revolutionary agent, reducing oxidative pigments and allergy risks.
- The tint has a unique formula with a neutral pH of 7, making it the first brow tint that does not damage hairs or dry out the skin.
