Review of Levissime eyebrow dye
Levissime is a professional Spanish brand with a wide range of cosmetics for face care, body care, as well as products for tinting eyebrows and eyelashes. The wide popularity of the brand was provided by a series of dyes for coloring eyebrows and eyelashes.

This blog will focus on Levissime Lash Color, which is suitable for coloring eyebrows and eyelashes after lamination and long-term styling of eyebrows.

Levissime color palette
There are 5 shades in the Levissime Lash Color tint palette: conditionally 3 shades for eyebrows and 2 shades for eyelashes.
The Levissime brand is one of the few brands of eyebrow dye manufacturers that has introduced a hairdresser's designation of hair color level and undertone.
Example: shade 3.7 Marron Brown is at HCL level 3 and has a yellow-green color tone.
Shade 7.7 Light Brown - light brown with a yellow-green tint. This is a fairly light shade of warm blonde that won't darken the brows and is perfect for blonde blondes with warm undertones in their hair and skin.
Shade 3.7 Marron Brown - similar to shade 7.7 but with a deeper HCL. This is a rich brown shade on a yellow-green nuance. Suitable for fair-haired girls and non-contrasting brunettes and brown-haired women.
Shade 1.1 Graphite is a deep cool ash color with a blue-violet hue. Practically not used in its pure form, but just a necessary color to create an expanded color palette of basic shades. Ideal for darkening the base color and giving a cooler undertone.
Shade 1 Black is the perfect black color for tinting lashes.
Shade 1.6 Bluish Black - blue black color for coloring eyelashes. The deepest black with a blue undertone. Ideal after lamination of eyelashes and gives a rich result.
Popular Levissime eyebrow mixes
Levissime paint is ideal both in pure color and in mixes. The combination of shades with each other allows you to create the necessary shade, slightly cool the main color or darken it.
The main shades for coloring eyebrows are 7.7 Light Brown and 3.7 Marron Brown, shade 1.1 Graphite is used as a mix tone (as an independent shade it is too dark and unnatural for eyebrows). The combination of these three colors creates a wide palette of shades.
7.7 Light Brown + 1.1 Graphite is a beautiful neutral blonde for light blondes. Depending on the amount of graphite in combination, from neutral to a colder shade. But remember that 1.1 Graphite is on the darkest HCL, too much of it in the mix will darken the final shade a lot.
3.7 Marron Brown + 1.1 Graphite - Neutral deep brown, perfect for brown hair. Remember that the Graphite shade needs just a drop and its amount in the mix makes the shade neutral or colder and darker.
3.7 Marron Brown + 7.7 Light Brown - a combination for a warm brown with medium depth. Suitable for brown-haired and fair-haired girls with a warm undertone.
How to use Levissime dye?
Eyebrow and eyelash dye Levissime is quite simple to use, so it is suitable for starting work even for a novice browist.
- Levissime dye is mixed with Levissime Lash Activator 1.8% in a ratio of 1:1. You can also use Eyebrow Activator 3% oxidizer if you want more pronounced staining and you need a higher percentage of oxidizer.
- The dye has a creamy texture and is applied immediately in a dense layer.
- The exposure time is from 5 to 15 minutes, depending on whether you want toning or more graphic coloring.
- After that you need to remove the dye with a damp cotton pad.
- In combination with an oxidizing agent, 1.8% can be used to color eyebrows and eyelashes after long-term styling or lamination.
The shelf life of Levissime dye after opening is 6 months, so we advise you to mark the date of opening the package on the tube. In general, this is a necessary practice for all funds with a limited shelf life. This will allow you to follow the rules for storing dye and always get a predictable result of staining.
