Customer Reviews


Appreciated all the reviews from everyone prior to making this selection. I love this product! My hair ; eyebrow color is very dark, almost black ; I find myself mixing the 2 colors to fill in where my brows have thinned (I'm 52), sometimes using just the lighter of the 2, which I never thought I'd even use. I'm happy to have found this rather than using an eyebrow pencil....feathers nicely ; looks more natural. Great price, too!

This kit is such a great replacement for traditional eyebrow pencils. It's very easy to blend, but be careful not to put too much. You especially have to be careful with dark shades like this because a little goes a long way. I found the powder brush in the kit a bit too stiff, so I just used a softer brush I had from one of those $1 mini brush kits you can get on a keychain. It ended up giving my brows a much softer look, where the stiff brush from the kit just would not spread the powder evenly.
It also would have been nice to have some sort of instructions printed on the package, since I doubt many first time buyers would know how to use this (especially if they normally use pencil). I decided to look up some tutorials on youtube and still ended up with mixed directions on how to use this. Some people were using the wax first, others applying it after the powder to set it. I think I like using the wax first because it helps spread the color more evenly, but probably just something you will have to experiment with.
Overall I really like this product. I tried both colors and didn't notice much of a difference, which is a bonus because now I'll be able to use them both. It seemed that the one on the right had a more reddish tint to it, making it more suitable with warm colors like you would wear in the summer. The one on the left was more neutral and would make a good fall/winter shade.

I basically have no eye brows, so I was worried this would be too dramatic. Followed the directions exactly and it was easy to apply. Washed out a little faster than when I have had it done professionally, but still a great product.

I used to have my eyebrows dyed in a beauty salon. However, this kit is to easy use and takes no more than 15 minutes to complete. You can obtain very useful visual instructions for dying your eyebrows on You Tube.

It took me a long time to get to this point, but I'll continue to buy this product as long as they make it. I have really fair eyebrows - annoyingly so - pencils and shadows go on badly, and even if I could find something that stayed put for the day, I really just don't have the time or patience to draw them every day. I wasn't sure I had enough brows to tint, but I bought the Godefroy medium brown eyebrow tint and it worked extremely well. I followed the instructions exactly - I had to go over the brows a few times, because I wasn't aggressive in the application of it (and I only left the tint on 1-2 minutes each time, checking and reapplying until they matched). It didn't stain my skin, wiped off easily, and went on lightly enough that it doesn't feel overly dramatic.
I was amazed after using the tint to find out that my natural brow shape was there all along and that I had plenty there to work with, despite fears that my brows might be too sparse. Now that they're tinted, no more guesswork into shaping, which was formerly impossible (you can't tweeze what you can't see)!
I would especially recommend this product to anyone who wants to take their brows from blonde to brown without the change appearing drastic.
T.M.

I had used this product several years ago and loved it then was unable to find it again. Now it's back and I am very happy. I have very light, sparse eyebrows with some gray hair as well. I use this product and it darkens them to my very light brown hair color and does cover the gray. I would say that it doesn't last for 6 weeks but it doesn't take long to dye them, so it's no big deal. If you are looking for a lighter shade, I would suggest only leaving it on for about 30-45 seconds. The first time I looked like Groucho Marx. And I hadn't protected my surrounding skin so it was everywhere. It will dye your skin and it does last for a day or two. So make sure that you use something on the surrounding skin to protect it. I apply a thin layer of mineral oil with a Q-tip (baby oil is exactly the same, it just has fragrance added) and I use a small, stiff angled makeup brush to apply it. I don't care for the wooden applicators they give you. If it is too light, you can always do it again. And the amount of dye in the capsules can be divided up and you don't have to use a whole capsule at a time. I get at least twice as many applications this way. But like I said, my eyebrows are thin and sparse so you will have to evaluate it for yourself. I would recommend this product to anyone. I have sensitive skin and I have no reaction to the dye. Just be very careful that you do not mix it too thin and it drips. The last thing you want is dye dripping in your eye. That's why I prefer the brush over the stick. You can control it much easier.

Customer Reviews


I have been using this product for about 6 years now. I have found that with a large magnifying mirror and a lot of q-tips I can easily apply to both my brows and lashes. It lasts about 3 weeks on me (I am a med blond) and by the end of that time it is pretty light. I buy the bottles (both brown for brow and black for lashes). I was excited when they introduced the blister pack packaging. I felt I would have less waste. WHAT A HORROR. It is extremely messy and wasteful. They give you a huge amount of product that is basically wasted or spilled. It also messes up your trash can by leaking everywhere. Don't like the blister packs. If you get this stuff on anything write it off. Your bathroom counters etc. The foil is too thick to easily remove and if the two chemicals mix basically the kit is destroyed. Waste is also an issue with the bottles. Despite attempting to be very very careful to not cross contaminate the chemicals between number 1 and number 2 (using q-tip only once and throwing it away, making sure the cap on 1 stays on 1 and is never put on 2) I find that in about 6 months or less (with 75% of the bottle still unused) usually I start to see contamination. By this I mean when I put a clean q-tip it comes out with "tint" on it. It should be completely clear at all times before you apply it. To me that tint indicates something has gone "off". Because I want to maintain my eye health I usually discard the bottles at that time and replace.
The chemical will burn if it gets in your eye and I would have to agree that the remover is very pungent and unpleasant (even though I only use far away from the eye itself). Usually the fumes drift into your eyes and burn. I try to avoid using that and just live with the smudges for about a day after which they naturally wear off.
I do like the product better than paying the salon and even having to throw it out twice a year still makes it cheaper than going to the salon. I would like more alternatives and also I WISH they still sold the blue color. I like blue black on my lashes but they only seem to have brown and black now.

Summary of Roux Lash Tint: much better than mascara or paying too much at a salon, works well enough, but if there is a better alternative I will go with that.
I paid $60 at a boutique salon to have my lashes tinted, and while I didn't much care for the experience (even though I kept my eyes closed, apparently they fluttered as they stayed closed, and some of the dye ran into my eyes and made me tear up excessively, so some of the dye ran down a bit with the tears - cleaned up ok, but the dye stung my eyes a bit), I LOVED how my eyelashes looked. Like mascara, but natural (ok, maybe the wrong word, but they looked natural!) even the little blonde tips. I recently found out that you can buy lash tints online (and while FDA has a warning against home lash tinting with certain ingredients, neither Roux nor 1000 Hours have those ingredients, from my research), so I'm doing an experiment, side by side.
What I have found - I think Roux is the kind of lash tint the salon used. It cost me about $5 (including shipping) on eBay for a single application (I recommend trying it that way). Nice little mark-up for the salon, even accounting for labor.
The draw-backs of the Roux lash tint experiment:
1) All the ingredients come in blister-pack plastic trays with foil over, and the foil does not come off easily. I had to pierce some of the chemicals with a safety pin to open it, and even then had trouble dipping the wands into the chemicals.
2) The second dye (I guess the first dye preps the hair, the second turns it coal black) turned my fingertips black. The instructions said to use petroleum jelly (Vaseline) anywhere you don't want turning black, and I faithfully ringed my eyes below and to the eyebrow, but never thought of putting it on my fingertips! :) Now I look like some kind of medieval scholar. Oh well, it'll fade.
3) Because I was doing a self-tint, I had to do one eye at a time. I found that the first dye stung my eyes (again) but I just kept a folded-up piece of toilet paper below my eyelashes. The eye I did first is not nearly as black or luscious as the one I did second. That tells me there's a bit of a learning curve.
4) My lower lashes aren't really dyed at all. I went back over them at the end, but they just didn't dye. I think maybe there was petroleum jelly on them.
So... that is my review of Roux. I will be glad to provide an update about 1000Hour lash tint once it comes in from eBay (btw, that one is about $1 per application, but you have to buy a whole box). I have heard from other feedback that with 1000Hour you don't need to keep your eyes shut the whole time, it doesn't sting the same, and the application wand is much easier (like a mascara wand). But I will have to see for myself.

I absolutely love this product, but I don't use it as brow color. I have badly thinning hair in front and on top. This camoflauges those spots beautifully! It stays on until I wash it out. I've tried some of the expensive hair thinning products like Topix, and I wouldn't give this brow color up for three free cases of that stuff!

You only need a little bit of this to give you full, dark coverage. I really like it! I'm a brunette and it is the perfect shade for me:) It's going to take a long time to use up a pack of three though! Wish you could get it in a single pack.
