THE 

HISTORY OF 

EYELASH 

AND 

EYEBROW 

STYLES 

FROM ANCIENT TIMES 

TO THE PRESENT

THE HISTORY OF EYELASH 

AND EYEBROW STYLES 

First impressions count. Whether you will be perceived as pleasant and 

trustworthy is decided in a fracture of a second. Since enhanced and open 

eyes make you look warmer and more approachable, it is no surprise that 

eye make-up has been a popular tool throughout history. 

ANCIENT TIMES 

As early as in Ancient Egypt, both men and women started emphasising 

their eyes through dyeing eyebrows, blackening lashes, tinting eyelids 

green and giving the eyes an almond form. It was believed that this way 

one could recreate the image of Re, the sun god and that make-up would 

keep evil spirits away and protect from several illnesses. Men generally 

styled their eyelashes more than women, even children got their eyelashes 

smeared at the time of birth to strengthen their eyesight and protect from 

evil spirits. Eye make-up was an everyday companion, worn by people of 

the upper as well as the lower classes. 

In ancient Greece, body care was also very important. Creams and 

oils kept the skin supple. A pale complexion, elaborate hair styles and 

enhanced lips were in fashion. Women emphasised their eyes with kohl 

and blackened their eyelids with incense. Natural and unibrows were 

considered beautiful. To achieve that look, some used black paint, others 

even applied fake eyebrows made out of oxen hair. 

„A woman without paint is like food without salt.“ Roman 

philosopher Plautus (254-184 BC) wrote. 

In Ancient Rome long, thick and curly eyelashes were considered 

beautiful. To achieve that look, women used burnt cork to thicken eyelashes 

and kohl for darkening eyelashes and eyelids. When the Romans conquered 

Egypt, the Egyptian way of tinting eyes green became fashionable in the 

Roman Empire as well. Monobrows were still in fashion which led to women 

often extending their brows inwards using soot.

MIDDLE-AGES 

During the middle-ages 

hygiene standards in Europe were 

poor, make-up declared a sin by the 

church and therefore only worn by 

prostitutes. It was believed that a 

natural look was more pleasant for 

God. 

Still, people, especially from the 

upper class, found a way to live up to 

the beauty standards of their time. Since a high forehead was considered 

the most important feature in women’s faces, women would depilate hair 

in that area and pluck their eyebrows heavily. Eyelashes were not styled, 

sometimes even removed. A pale complexion was considered noble. 

RENAISSANCE & MODERN TIMES 

During the Renaissance people began 

discovering antique cultures. Body care and 

make-up slowly but steadily returned. A style 

icon during early modern times was Queen 

Elizabeth I. Her complexion was very pale, 

her hair reddish. Many women tried to achieve 

her look. Some dyed their hair in her colour 

or used reddish wigs or hairpieces and tinted 

eyelashes and eyebrows in the same colour. 

Dangerous dyes were used; for example a 

mixture of rhubarb juice and oil of vitriol. 

Vitriol is pure sulfuric acid. These tinctures 

frequently caused hair loss or damages in 

the scalp. Also, ways to darken eyelashes 

secretly were found. Crushed berries or soot 

obtained from fireplaces did the trick.



In the 18th century a pale complexion 

and dark brows were fashionable. Eyelashes 

and eyebrows were darkened; sometimes false 

brows made out of mouse fur were used. 

With the industrial revolution, mass 

production of cosmetic products became 

possible but still most people used home 

methods, like ashes or lamp black mixed with 

elderberry juice. 

During the 19th century make-up was 

considered vulgar and only worn openly by 

actresses and prostitutes. Common women 

sneaked into beauty salons via backdoors and 

make-up was often sold under the counter. 

When it came to styling the eyes, women found ways to emphasise 

them secretly: castor oil was massaged into the lashes and to achieve 

bright eyes, a drop of lemon juice was put into 

each eye. Brows were left rather bushy and 

untamed. 

During that period, the production of 

cosmetics changed profoundly. New methods 

of manufacture, safer chemicals and natural 

ingredients were incorporated. Still, the first 

mascara as we know it today wasn’t invented 

until 1914. The name “mascara” was created in 

1933, until then it was called “eyelash darkener”. 

Empress Elisabeth of Austria was famous for her 

cult of beauty. She used hardly any cosmetics, but 

invested hours in styling her long, voluminous hair 

and in caring for her complexion and her figure.

ANCIENT TIMES 

ANCIENT EGYPT: 

Eye make-up was an every-day 

companion for men and women. 

It was supposed to improve looks 

and at the same time ward off evil 

spirits and illnesses. Eyebrows 

were dyed, lashes blackened, eyelids 

tinted green and the eyes given 

an almond form. 

3100 B.C. 

- 30 B.C. 

ANCIENT GREECE: 

Elaborate hair styles, a 

pale complexion, enhanced 

lips and eyes were in 

fashion. Unibrows were 

considered beautiful 

which led to women 

using black paint or fake 

eyebrows made out of 

oxen hair.

cork and kohl were used to 

thicken and darken eyelashes 

and eyelids. Monobrows 

were still in fashion which 

led to women often extending

more pleasant 

for God.

20 TH CENTURY - 

THE ERA OF STYLE ICONS 

For the first time, modern cosmetic 

products were available for a majority of the 

population and quickly became very popular. 

Styling eyelashes and eyebrows became a key 

factor for achieving the perfect look. 

It was during the 1920ies that people for the first time got inspiration 

for their styles from entertainers. The stars of Hollywood‘s silent movies 

had the biggest impact. 

Case in point: Fake eyelashes. They became very popular because of 

the movie „Intolerance“ in 1916. The director wished an effect of fluttering 

eyes for his actress and used fake lashes. Soon they were to be seen in 

other Hollywood productions and became popular with women in general. 

Another look that caught on inspired by the stars of silent movies was 

wearing eyebrows thin and straight. To add shine, emphasise and groom 

them, Vaseline was used. 

In 1930 Josef Gschwentner opened his hair salon in Austria. 

During the 30ies and 40ies more and more women included mascara 

and earthy eye shades to their daily routine and the eyelash curler was 

invented. They were made of stainless steel, not very expensive and 

very popular. Besides, women of the 1930ies 

and 40ies would still wear dark, shiny and 

severely tweezed brows. The only difference 

to the 1920ies brows was, that now they were 

plucked into dramatic high, rounded arches, 

which sometimes extended all the way to the 

temple. 

The beauty icon of this time was Lucille Ball. 

The Lucille Brow: She kept her 

eyebrows thin and round. That way



her face appeared rounder, her features 

were softened and her eyes emphasised. 

In the 1950ies the cosmetics industry grew 

rapidly and RefectoCil was born. 

In the USA a glamorous style was demanded. It 

was all about elegance and femininity. Eyes that 

appeared big and innocent were fashionable. 

There were many beauty icons like Grace Kelly, 

Marilyn Monroe and of course Audrey Hepburn. 

The Audrey Brow: What made her look 

iconic was the contrast between her straight and 

thick brows which gave her a confident, serious 

almost manly impression and her innocent and 

large appearing eyes. Also, while stars like Marilyn Monroe emphasised 

their femininity and curvy bodies, she wore straight cut clothes, trouser 

suits and had a very slender figure. Her most famous look was the elegant 

black dress she wore in „Breakfast at Tiffany’s“. 

During the 60ies a doll-like look, 

big eyes and long lashes, was trendy. 

Artificial lashes made with human 

hair or synthetic materials were 

high in demand. The Italian actress 

Sophia Loren symbolized that style. 

Her eyes were greatly emphasised 

and appeared round and big. 

The Sophia Brow: Because 

her natural eyebrow curve was too 

close to the eyes and made her look 

permanently sad, she shaved her 

eyebrows off entirely, and pencilled 

them back in using super-short, 

precise strokes. The result was cur ved 

and thick eyebrows that secured 

a bold, yet seemingly natural look.



In the 1970ies women’s liberation changed make-up 

needs. Advertising now concentrated on wordings like 

“natural” and “barely visible”. Parallel to that, colourful 

trends and 1920 retro style emerged. 

There were three main eye looks: natural and barely 

there, soft and smoky, bold and garish. Popular colours 

were blues, greens and purples as well as earthy tones. 

Two main brow styles were favoured during this time: 

Thicker, more natural brows and thinner, more pronounced 

arches. A 70ies style icon clearly is Cher. 

The Cher Brow: It was plucked into an arch and gave her a gentle and 

feminine look. 

During the 

1990ies it was all 

about glamour. Eyes 

were contoured 

smoky most often 

in neutral brown, 

beige, black and 

eggplant finished off with a clean liner. 

Eyebrows were tweezed heavily and superthin. 

Drew Barrymore’s brows were styled 

typically for this decade. 

The Drew Brow: Her eyebrows were thin 

and plucked into a tiny arch letting her face 

appear round. 

In the 1980ies eyeliner around the eye and thick, 

heavy brows were in fashion. Usually they were 

grown-out, groomed and pencilled in. 

The Brooke Brow: It is typically 80ies. Her brows 

were kept natural and thick and let her appear 

decisive and self-confident.

From the year 2000 until 

2016 the trend went from 

thin and curved brows to 

thick, lush looks and natural 

arches. 

2015/16 – THE YEARS OF 

BUSHY BROWS 

Thin brows are declared a 

phenomenon of the past, 

thick and natural brows are 

the way to go. To not only 

get them into the desired 

form but also achieve a look 

that matches personality 

and hair colour, eyebrows 

are styled with pencils and 

powders or simply tinted. 

Also in style are bleached brows which are to be seen on the runways 

of almost every fashion show. 2015/2016’s brow style icon clearly is 

Cara Delevingne. The Cara Brow: Her dark, natural and thick brows give 

her an iconic look and let her appear decisive and serious. 

Beauty ideals and icons may have changed over the years but the 

importance ascribed to styling the eye-area has not. Eyelashes and 

eyebrows have always been a key factor when it comes to creating the 

perfect look. 

RefectoCil has been a market leader in the segment of eyelash and 

eyebrow tints since 1930. We have optimized and extended our product 

line constantly to meet the needs of our customers. 

Today we offer a variety of products, which ensure beautiful and accentuated

straight with a slight 

bend and thicker than

the 1940ies.

1990ies 

00-16: 

From the year 2000 to 

2015, the preferred eyebrow 

form went back to 

a thick and more natural 

shape, like Keira Knightley’s 

brows. 

2015/2016’s brow style 

icon clearly is Cara Delevingne. 

The Cara Brow: Her 

dark, natural and thick 

brows give her an iconic

THE HISTORY OF REFECTOCIL 

In 1930 hairdresser Josef Gschwentner opened his salon in Vienna. 

From the beginning he was concerned to offer his customers only 

the best products. He developed his own hair colour and hair care 

products, which definitely distinguished themselves in effectiveness 

and intensity from other products available on the market. Encouraged 

by the huge success he started to develop products for other hair 

salons thus laying the foundation for Gschwentner Hair Cosmetics. 

The company continued to grow and made a name for itself beyond 

the borders of Austria as producer and supplier of top professional 

products for the hairdresser. 

The founder‘s inventiveness and decisiveness resulted in the creation of 

a new business in 1950. RefectoCil, a professional hair-tinting product 

for eyelashes and eyebrows was developed by the Gschwentner 

laboratory. This product has achieved international recognition. For over 

70 years RefectoCil has been the worldwide leading brand in the field of 

professional eyelash and eyebrow tints. 

With a choice of 9 shades RefectoCil offers the largest selection: pure 

black, graphite, blue black, deep blue, natural brown, light brown, 

chestnut, red, and the bleaching paste Blonde Brow. In 2015 RefectoCil 

Sensitive was developed, offering 4 colour shades especially suited for 

clients with sensitive eyes and skin. Another styling tool is RefectoCil 

Eyelash Curl which provides the lashes with an upwards swing. Many 

useful accessories make the RefectoCil product line the perfect styling 

system for eyelash and eyebrow tinting by professional personnel. 

RefectoCil has always been the leader providing the best colouring 

results, highest product quality and continual product innovation. 

These products have proven themselves through millions of successful 

applications and for many decades have been worldwide leading 

products recognized as “Made in Austria”. 

Today the RefectoCil brand is the undisputed world leader in this market 

segment and represented in over 65 countries on 5 continents.

APPLICATION 

Clean the eye-area 

First clean the lashes with RefectoCil eye make-up remover. Then use 

RefectoCil Saline solution to make sure, residues are eliminated. Only if 

the eye area is cleaned of residues, optimal adhesion of the eyelash roller 

can be guaranteed. 

Select the eyelash roller 

the shorter the lashes and the more curl the customer desires, 

the smaller the roller you select! 

• You have selected the correct roller size when the 

eyelashes cover half of the roller circumference. 

• If the chosen roller is too small and the eyelashes too long 

the result will be a U-shaped curvature. 

• If the chosen roller is too large and the eyelashes too short 

the result is no curl or a weak curvature.

EYELASH CURL

EYELASH CURL 

Apply roller 

• Roller is self-adhesive 

• Only touch the sides of the roller 

• By bending the roller several times the eyelash roller will 

adopt a form corresponding to the lid curvature 

• The eyelash roller is too long? Trim it with scissors! 

• Gently stretch the eye lid with your fingers, first apply the 

eyelash roller at the inner lid edge – just above the base of eyelash 

Fixing lashes 

• With an upwards move press the eyelashes evenly and straight 

onto the roller using the application stick. 

• For stubborn eyelashes or those that have come off, apply a 

small amount of RefectoCil Glue to the eyelash roller and affix the 

eyelashes again. 

Apply Lashperm 

• Squeeze a pea-size amount of Lashperm into the bowl 

• Tubes must be closed directly after use 

• Generously apply a strip to the center section of the eyelashes 

(do not apply at the base or tips of eyelashes) 

• Apply horizontally (not from the bottom up) 

Application time: 15 min 

• Remove with a dry cotton swab after application time.

after 

Apply Neutralizer 

The same way as Lashperm! Remove with a dry cotton swab. 

Application time: 10 min 

Removing roller 

• Touch the eyelash roller several times with a moist cotton pad. 

The moisture slowly loosens the glue 

• Gently stretch the eyelid and roll the eyelash roller downward.

EYELASH CURL 

Tint lashes 

After perming, tint the eyelashes with RefectoCil eyelash 

and eyebrow tints. The hair shaft is still open, therefore the 

application time is just 2 minutes! Tinted lashes will make the 

effect of the perm even more visible. 

Attention: 

Products are number coded on the tubes, cosmetic brushes 

and cosmetic dishes with No 1 and 2! This prevents contact of 

Lash Perm 1 with Neutralizer 2, rendering them prematurely 

unusable through chemical reaction. 

Shelflife: 

• Lashperm & Neutralizer: 2 months after opening 

• Glue: 3 months after opening 

Close the tubes directly after usage! 

Application time: 

The application times indicated in this folder refer to normal/ 

thin eyelashes. ATTENTION! Longer application times are 

necessary for thick/strong eyelashes:

Tips & tricks: 

• Your client can not imagine the result of an 

eyebrow tinting treatment? 

With the help of a cream eyebrow pencil or powder-eye shadow, 

you can easily simulate the effect of a tinting treatment. Just dab 

on a bit of desired colour, the effect will be convincing. 

• What is the best and easiest way to integrate 

the tinting-process in your daily routine? 

Choose a time slot when you are not busy doing something for 

the client – when you are waiting for the hair colour to work 

or during a manicure or pedicure or a face mask. 

• Here are some good ways to raise your client’s interest for 

tinting eyebrows and eyelashes without asking directly: 

Stress the fact that the colour profile can be complemented 

best by the right eyebrow tint, to suit skin and hair tone. 

Ask when the client’s last eyebrow and eyelash tint was. 

Point out your own eyebrow and eyelash tint! 

Complement on the new hair colour and make aware, 

that the effect of eyelash and eyebrow tinting treatment 

would enhance the result. 

Try to sell an eyelash and eyebrow tinting treatment as 

part of a facial treatment.

or tinted spots due to open hair follicles! 

Remove Tint 

Remove excess tint first with a dry cotton swab, then use a 

wet (water) cotton pad to clean the rest of the tint. Rinse the 

eye by using a very wet cotton pad and squeezing it from 

the outer to the inner edge of the eye while the eye remains 

closed.

THE THEORY OF COLOURS 

HISTORY, FACTS AND 

TODAYS’ TRENDS 

Colours play an important role in every aspect of life. 

As early as at the start of the 19th century, many 

extraordinary personalities like Philipp Runge, Goethe, 

Newton or Schopenhauer started dealing with the 

theory of colour in various fields like physics, chemistry, 

psychology or art. 

“Keep it simple”, following this principle, Johannes Itten, 

an art educator, established the twelve-part circle 

of colours in 1961. Thanks to his clear and simple 

presentation, it is still well-known and the standard 

for printing inks today. 

His theory also served as basis for categorising colour 

types. One of his students, Carole Jackson, wrote the 

bestseller “Color me beautiful” during the 1980ies and 

became the founder of the 4-seasons-colour-theory. 

This theory plays a major role when it comes to finding 

the optimum colour style for each skin type. 

The appearance of our skin colour is affected 

by the colours surrounding us. 

This is why, the colour of our clothes, hair, make-up 

and eyebrows determine our look and how we are 

perceived by other people.

THE THEORY OF COLOURS

Choose a colour – set a statement 

Over the course of time, beauty ideals changed. For many years, 

a harmonious overall look was the absolute goal. Today, any style 

is possible. There are women trying to emphasise their features 

and look as natural as possible whilst others try to provoke 

deliberately with extraordinary looks. Finding the perfect style 

became a question of knowing who we are and what we want. 

The choice of colour – hair, clothes, eyebrows – already 

determines our look. Therefore it is important to know which 

colour can have which optical effect in order to avoid setting the 

wrong statement involuntarily. 

On the next page you find some tips, which will help you to use 

the theory of colour to your advantage.

THE THEORY OF COLOURS

The effect of colours on our look 

People tend to automatically choose the colours that suit them 

best. Nevertheless fashion trends sometimes let people decide for 

colours that are not ideal for their type. 

Clothes, hair and eyebrow colour can be chosen whereas our 

skin type is a given. Therefore we always have to take it into 

accordance. 

Colours lying next to each other always have a reciprocal effect. 

The explanation for that effect can be traced back to Johannes 

Itten and Carole Jackson. 

According to their theories, there are colour contrasts that 

explain the effect colour choices can have on our appearance. 

Two of them are especially relevant in this particular context: the 

successive contrast and the simultaneous contrast.


Successive contrast: If you are looking at a colour 

field for a longer time, the eye automatically builds the 

complementary colour. Meaning, if your skin type is rather 

cool and you wear for example an orange pullover, the eye 

automatically builds the contrast colour, in this case blue. 

Therefore the skin will appear even paler and more bluish. 

Of course, the phenomenon of the successive contrast also 

applies to warm skin types. 

Simultaneous contrast: It deals with the perception of 

a field of colour depending on its background as well as on 

colours that may lie next to it.

Why does our skin appear rosy or 

shimmer golden? 

The composition of our skin-colour consists mainly of 3 pigments: 

melanin, haemoglobin and carotene. 

The melanin share is embedded in our genes. Since it is also 

serving as protection against UV radiation, its share depends on 

where we and our parents were born. 

Melanin is responsible for the colour depth of the skin (light or 

dark) as well as for the colour of eyes and hair. 

Haemoglobin, the red blood 

pigment, is responsible for 

the cool or blue cast part of 

our skin type. If the blood 

circulation is good and the 

skin thick, it appears rosy. If 

the skin is thin, it will lead to 

blood shining through which 

lets the skin appear bluish. 

Carotene is responsible for 

the warm colour shades of 

the skin. It is absorbed by the 

body via food intake.


Tips: 

There are a few things to consider when selecting your colours: 

• Consider the successive and the simultaneous contrast. 

• Eyebrows and hair have a similar effect - they define your face. 

• The skin type (warm or cool) has always to be taken into 

accordance when it comes to styling the eye-area, choosing a 

new hair colour or clothes. 

• If the right colours are worn, the skin appears young, healthy 

and fresh. 

• A harmonious look is not automatically the look best suited. 

• You can emphasise your type perfectly if you consider skin type, 

character and individual style. 

• There may be new colour trends each season, but if you want to 

look your best, you have to find out what suits YOU best. If you 

want to know your colour type, it is best to have it analysed by 

a professional. This way you make sure, the analysis is objective 

and leads to the best results.

The Effect of Colours 

One simple fact that will help you to optimise your style easily: 

While light colours come to the foreground, dark colours recede 

to the background. For example, if you have deep-set eyes, your 

brows have to be darker, to place emphasis on the eyes. On the 

contrary, if you want the brow to catch the eye, it should be dyed 

in a light colour. 

ANGELINA JOLIE 

At the Oscars, in the role of the loving mother or UNHCR special 

envoy - her eyebrows reflect her current task. 

The effect: 

Light colours: they make the face look soft, young, fresh, open, 

round, delicate and less wrinkled. 

Dark colours: they let the face appear square, masculine, strict, 

straight-forward and wrinkles are easier to be seen.


Choose the look you prefer and select the colour accordingly. If 

you strive for a rather dominant look, go with a dark shade for 

your eyebrows. If you desire a gentle and feminine appearance, 

choose bright colours. You desire an optical distinction between 

spare time and work-life? Just change colours to switch between a 

lovely and sweet look for weekends and a decisive, self-conscious 

look for being at work. 

CHARLIZE THERON 

Her motto is “stay true to yourself”! For one movie she had 

to dye her hair black. TO keep her look lovely and sweet, she 

accentuated her brows in a lighter shade. 

RESUMEE: 

In todays’ society we have many different beauty ideals. Any style is possible, 

whether you like it harmonious and classy or rebellious and unconventional. Individuality 

and creativity are the two key factors. Find out which style suits you best 

and which one you like best. Just be yourself and create a style as unique as your 

personality.

BROW 

SHAPES 

CREATE YOUR WOW BROW

BROW SHAPES 

The WOW brow 

Become a lash and brow consultant and help your client 

achieve a stunning look from head to toe. Eyebrows are 

a number one styling factor. They frame faces, give them 

structure and illuminate the eyes, thus opening them 

and making them appear brighter. Eyebrows convey our 

emotions. Depending on their form, they change how we 

are perceived. No wonder, accentuated brows and lashes 

are topic number one not only on catwalks but also in social 

media channels like Instagram, YouTube and Facebook. 

Numerous tutorials show people trying to find the perfect 

eyebrow shape. Meet that need and help people accentuate 

their beauty. We have some tips for you that will support you 

in creating the style that will make your clients look their best. 

Eyebrows are sisters not twins 

Contrary to common belief, it is 

not necessary that eyebrows look 

exactly the same. Most faces aren’t 

completely symmetrical. Therefore 

eyebrows don’t have to be identical. 

They are just supposed to resemble 

each other strongly.

1. Determine where your inner 

brow should end. Place a pen 

or a ruler by the outermost 

corner of your nose and have it 

point upwards to the innermost 

corner of your eye. 

2. Determine where your arch 

should peak. With the pen 

still resting against your nose, 

move it until it extends past the 

outermost edge of your pupil 

while you are looking straight 

ahead. Where the pen crosses 

the eyebrow should be the 

peak. 

3. Determine where your outer 

brow should end. Move the pen 

(still resting against the nose) 

to the outermost corner of your 

eye. That is where the eyebrow 

ends.

EYEBROWS SHAPE FACES 

Basic Level Brow Styling 

Find the ideal form 

A total look needs brows that match the face. Three simple steps will 

help you to find out where the inner and outer brow should end and 

where the highest peak should be: 

Tip: The ideal gap between eyebrows is the size of one of the eyes. 

Individual brow forms 

Each face is shaped differently - each brow should be shaped 

accordingly. When it comes to styling the eyebrows, individual needs 

have to be seen and met. Similar to a haircut, eyebrows need to 

match a person’s face and personality. 

Therefore you shouldn’t 

just follow brow trends. 

Work with what you have 

and what suits the face 

shape best. 

IDEAL 

If your customers‘ eye 

distance is ideal, the brows 

will need to start beyond the 

inner eye corner. 

WIDE 

If the eyes are set 

wide apart, the brows will 

need to start more in the 

middle to optically reduce 

the distance. 

NARROW 

If the eye distance is too 

close, the brows will need 

to start more outside to 

optically add some 

distance.

Oval: 

The oval face form is 

ideal, therefore the 

form of the brow can be 

chosen individually. 

Trapeze: 

First priority is to soften 

the broad chin. 

A thick, flat and elongated 

brow is the way to go. It 

takes focus away from the 

chin to the eye-area.


Circle: 

You can optically prolong 

the face and let the 

round form appear more 

angular, if the eyebrow is 

plucked into a high arch. 

Square: 

You can soften the 

contours and prolong the 

face by plucking the brow 

into a high curve.

Rectangular: 

In this case, it is important 

to shorten the face form. If 

you pluck the eyebrow flat 

but elongated, the face 

appears broader and 

shortened. 

Triangle: 

A short and soft eyebrow 

form shifts the focus away 

from the pointy chin. If 

you pluck the eyebrow 

into a high arch, you can 

conceal the distinctive 

part.


Brow Shaping – Frame your beauty 

To summarize, eyebrows are a tool that determine your look and can 

be used to optimise the face form. With choosing the right 

eyebrow form, you can make each of the 5 main face shapes look 

their best. 

Though there are many different styling options, there is one rule that 

applies to each of them: You should always aim to form the brow 2/3 

rising and 1/3 falling. Regardless face shape or style, this form opens 

the eye and lets you appear warmer and more approachable. 

In todays’ society we have many different beauty ideals. Any style is 

possible, whether you like it harmonious and classy or rebellious and 

unconventional. Individuality and creativity are the two key factors. 

Find out which style suits you best and which one you like best. Just 

be yourself and create a style as unique as your personality.

Blonde Brow is a unique product, specifically designed to 

create a variety of bright hues and to enhance any blonde 

style in a breathtaking way. 

The product 

RefectoCil Blonde Brow is especially suited for the 

sensitive facial skin and can therefore be used on the 

brows without concern. It causes less reddishness than 

normal bleaching products and ensures natural results. 

Additional information that probably goes without saying 

but is worth mentioning anyway: do not use common hair 

bleaching products on eyebrows. The eye-area is more 

sensitive and needs especially suited products.

From fashion to daily style 

Not only during the fashion weeks but basically on 

every runway during the past months, bleached brows are 

absolutely in style. The very bright, almost white eyebrows 

let the face lose its contours and therefore create an 

unconventional look. To make it an every-day style and still make 

a fashion statement, just let the bleaching work-in for a shorter

period of time. This way, the brow doesn’t lose all of its contour.

LONGLASH BALSAM AND GEL 

The effect 

Tinted hair needs care. 

Our two nurturing conditioners, Longlash balsam as 

an intensive treatment for the night and Longlash gel 

to use throughout the day, ensure a fresh and neat look. 

They help the hair to be healthy and shiny and 

therefore long and strong. 

The product 

Both products have high quality ingredients such as 

Vitamin E & D-Panthenol. They moisturize the hair and 

therefore prevent it from becoming dry & brittle. 

As an additional benefit, the tint lasts longer and is 

more visible on healthy eyelashes and eyebrows.

Longlash gel or langlash balsam? 

Longlash gel with its light consistence gives the hair gloss, shape 

and care for the day. It provides long-lasting moisture and prevents 

dry or brittle eyelashes and eyebrows. Therefore it helps to preserve 

their full natural hair length. Used throughout the day, it tames unruly 

hair and lets it shine. 

Beach & pool tip: 

Enjoy summer, sun, beach and sea without worrying about your 

make-up and still look stunning. For a natural style, use RefectoCil 

Longlash gel only, to freshen up your look any time throughout the 

day. If used on already permed and tinted eyelashes and eyebrows, 

it guarantees for a fresh look and perfect style, even after diving into 

the water.

LONGLASH BALSAM AND GEL 

APPLICATION: 

Longlash gel 

• Apply RefectoCil Longlash gel every morning with the brush 

applicator from roots to tips of eyelashes and eyebrows. 

• To achieve a natural look, RefectoCil Longlash gel is used alone. 

If mascara is used too, apply Longlash gel first, and then add the 

mascara. 

Longlash balsam 

• After removing make-up in the evening, apply a small amount 

of RefectoCil Longlash balsam between thumb and index finger, 

and gently coat eyelashes and brows, away from the base. 

• The high-quality active substances will nourish lashes and 

brows intensely overnight. 

• Tip: For glossy lashes and brows throughout the day, apply 

RefectoCil Longlash balsam in the morning. 

• Attention: Do not apply RefectoCil Longlash Balm within 24 

hours after tinting because the high fat content can affect 

the tinting result!

OF 

TRAININGS

The purpose of trainings 

Trainings offer numerous opportunities. For one, you can spread 

your message, support new product launches and reach new 

customers. Besides it is a great possibility to bond with already 

existing customers and create trust in the product by answering 

questions and by solving problems participants might experience. 

Thanks to the personal conversation – either face to face or headset 

to headset - you can create an environment of support, connect 

to the users and give them a feeling of appreciation. This way, you 

can establish a relationship and become their number one partner, 

clearly set apart from competitors. 

Key factors for a good training 

To make your training a success, we have an exemplary run of the 

event for you, plus some additional tips below: 

Procedure 

• Lead the participants in with a 20 minute introduction of the 

RefectoCil world and the beauty and importance of eyes. 

• Inform them about the 4 module concept of RefectoCil which 

you find explained on the following page. 

• Start a live demonstration while simultaneously explaining all the 

steps. 

• Next, let them work in pairs and practice what they have learned. 

• At the end, finish with a short summary and ask for feedback.

ORGANIZATION OF TRAININGS

Additional tips for a successful training 

1. KEEP IT SHORT. 

A maximum of 2.5 hours is advisable. Most likely, participants will 

maintain their concentration powers during that time. 

2. KEEP IT PERSONAL. 

Limit the number of participants to a maximum of 20 per group. 

That way you’ll be able to respond to questions individually. 

3. KEEP IT PRACTICAL. 

“Hands-on!” should be the motto of your training. 

The practical part should take up most of the time for two 

reasons: 

a. That way the attention span won’t fade out 

b. Participants have to practice to gain confidence 

4. KEEP IT VIVID. 

Functions and theory explained during a live demonstration will 

help understanding the process. 

5. KEEP IT CONCISE. 

Try to split up the topics. Too much information packed into one 

session will prevent the desired effect. Our advice on this topic is 

to create 4 modules. For example: 

a. Module 1 – The eye-opener (Eyelash Curl) 

b. Module 2 – Classic & Unconventional Styles 

(eyelash & eyebrow tinting)

pure

ORGANIZATION OF TRAININGS 

c. Module 3 – Bleach the brow (breathtaking blonde) 

d. Module 4 – Sense & Sensibility (plant based eyelash & eyebrow 

tinting) 

6. KEEP IT OPEN FOR DISCUSSION. 

The training shouldn’t be a frontal lecture but perceived as an 

opportunity to initiate a dialogue. Ask and answer questions, hear 

opinions and connect with your audience. 

Material for a successful training 

• Use a presentation for the 

training session. 

• Use folders and goodies. 

• Use a training certificate: 

After the training, hand out 

a certificate to everyone 

present. It will leave the 

participants feeling 

appreciated 

and motivated to 

attend future 

trainings.

Choose your kind of training 

There are three effective ways to tutor hairstylists and cosmeticians. 

Either you teach in the salon, create an event or you perform a webinar. 

Below you find further information to the three different methods, that 

will help you choose the one that meets your needs best. 

SALON TRAINING: 

Training in the salon is personal and proofed to be very effective 

since you can reach every person working there at once. Include 

a live demonstration, printed materials and practical tasks for the 

participants.


EVENT 

If you want to reach out to hair stylists and cosmeticians working in 

different places, but still tutor in person, create an event. It will not 

only serve as training but also as a great marketing tool since you 

draw attention to you and the product. All you need to do is, check 

a room, snacks and drinks and you are good to go. Other than that 

the training can be followed through according to the same scheme 

as in the salon.

WEBINAR 

Having trouble getting everyone to the same place at the same 

time? Then a webinar is a great way of working together even 

over great distances. It is a very good method for introducing new 

information to people who already know the basics. 

For first timers a webinar is not the best training method for one 

simple reason: There can be no practical part and no direct 

feedback from your side. Therefore teaching people tinting 

eyelashes and eyebrows or applying the eyelash curl for the first 

time can become a difficult task. We would advise you to do the 

first training in person and then follow-up with webinars to refresh or 

teach about new trends and possibilities. 

There are a few things you need to check before performing online: 

• You need to be registered at a platform, for example edudip. 

• It will cost you a low monthly fee 

• Webcam 

• best used with a tripod 

• Good internet connection 

• Notebook 

• Headset for the presenter to prevent reverb 

• Duration: maximum of 1.5 hours since a practical part is 

not possible 

• Send out marketing materials beforehand and afterwards a 

training certificate for everyone who participated.


TIPS FOR THE PRESENTER: 

If you are doing an online training for the first time, it can feel weird not to get feedback 

directly from the group. To prevent the training from becoming a full frontal 

lecture, patch in participants with a microphone or activate the online chat. This way 

interaction with the group is possible. Ask questions to involve them. To avoid awkward 

silences while you are waiting for an answer from the group, tell people you will 

continue with your program until you get feedback. It is also crucial to read answers 

or questions from the chat out loud so that everyone feels included. 

Whether you choose webinars, events or salon trainings, it will help 

bonding with your customers and establish partnerships.
