What should be in your Airbrush dye mixture?

Part 1: Liquid Dye with Keratin
When it comes to making the perfect Airbrush dye mixture, selecting the right ingredients is really important. We've developed a Liquid Dye infused with Keratin care—a true game-changer in the brow industry. It isn't just about delivering stunning color, it's also specifically crafted to be used with Airbrush techniques. Its lightweight, liquid consistency ensures seamless flow through your Airbrush, allowing for precise, even application with minimal effort. Whether you're creating ombré effects or crisp lines, our Liquid Dye with Keratin is the ideal choice for your Airbrush technique.

Why not use brow henna for the airbrush?

We get it—eyebrow henna has its devoted fans, and we understand the hype. But when it comes to Airbrush dye, Brow Henna is just not a good fit. Here's why: henna's thick and powdery consistency and tiny particles might seem harmless, but they're a recipe for disaster when it comes to your Airbrush. The powder can easily clog your airbrush. Our Airbrush-friendly Liquid Dye is specially formulated for smooth, flawless application—no clogs, no headaches, just perfect brows every time. So, while Brow Henna might be your favorite, trust us on this one: when it comes to Airbrushing, it's a no-go.

Part 2: Airbrush Developer 3%
Unlike other developers, our Airbrush Developer is specially created with a unique, more liquid consistency. Why does this matter? Well, it's about achieving the perfect balance of color intensity and smooth application. With its liquid texture, our Airbrush Developer effortlessly blends with our Liquid Dye so you can create flawless Airbrush brows!

Why not water in your mix for the airbrush?

Some might suggest making your mixture with water for your Airbrush machine, but there's a downside to it. Thinning it out compromises its staining power—the very essence of our Liquid Dye. At Supercilium, we're committed to vibrant, long-lasting results. That's why we recommend our new Airbrush Developer. With it, you can ensure the bold, flawless staining power your clients expect!

Step-by-step: Airbrush dye mixture

Let's break down the process of creating the best airbrush brow mixture into easy-to-follow steps:

Step 1: Measure the ingredients
Start by adding 5 drops of our Liquid Dye to your Airbrush cup.
Step 2: Add the Airbrush Developer
Now, introduce 5 drops of our Airbrush Developer into the same cup.
Step 3: Mix with the backflush technique
Use the backflush technique to ensure thorough mixing of the Liquid Dye and Airbrush Developer in the Airbrush cup. You can easily backflush by covering the nozzle with a cotton pad or just your finger and by pulling the trigger. The air floating back to the cup will make sure the two ingredients blend perfectly together.
Step 4: Let it sit
Before you apply the dye to the brows, let it sit in your airbrush for at least 1 minute so the dye can oxidize.

Remember, the mixing ratio is 1:1—5 drops of Liquid Dye to 5 drops of Airbrush Developer.

Where to mix the eyebrow dye:

In the airbrush cup, of course! At Supercilium, we prefer to mix the dye directly in the cup on the top of your Airbrush machine. Why? It's simple—we don't like waste. By combining the ingredients right away in the Airbrush machine's cup, you avoid losing any product during the transfer from one cup to another. It's a small step that makes a big difference in maximizing efficiency and minimizing waste!

Always prioritize your safety

Protecting yourself is important in any beauty procedure, and Airbrushing is no exception. That's why we strongly advise always wearing gloves during your Airbrush treatments! The Airbrush Developer contains Hydrogen Peroxide, which is a pretty strong ingredient for the skin when not mixed with eyebrow dye yet. Wairing gloves not only protect your fingers from coming into direct contact with the Airbrush Developer, but it also shields them from potential staining caused by the Liquid Dye. Wearing gloves is a standard policy for your and your client's safety.
