The full brow
What do lamination, shaping and tint do together?
Three jobs
Lamination sets the hairs up and across, shaping edits the outline, and tint darkens fine or light hairs. Shaping takes in the start of the brow, the arch, the tail and the strays around them, and the tint makes light hairs show against your skin.
Who it suits
You like how lamination makes your brows look fuller, but the outline still feels off. Color and direction can be exactly right while the arch or tail isn't, which is an outline job.
Where the arch sits
Brow position changes how your eyes read. In a controlled image study, lower brows made eyes look larger and higher brows made them look smaller, and the eyes looked tilted the way the brows were. One preference study placed the favored peak on or outside the outer corner of the eye; treat that as a starting point for your conversation with Desiree.
- Why brow height changes how your eyes look:
Lower eyebrows made eyes appear larger and higher eyebrows made eyes appear smaller, while eyebrow curvature had no effect on perceived eye size.

The ideal eyebrow peak was positioned on or outside the lateral canthus.

Prep and aftercare
How do I prepare for a brow lamination, shape and tint?
- Come without brow makeup.
- If you can, skip tweezing or waxing your brows for about two weeks, so there is more to shape.
- Skip retinol, acids and exfoliating products on your brows for three to five days before; they make the skin more sensitive to lamination, tint and shaping.
- If you've reacted to lash or brow tint before, call or text Desiree and ask about a patch test 24 to 48 hours ahead.
- If you've ever reacted to hair dye, tell Desiree too: tints and hair dyes can share the same ingredient.
- Arrive a few minutes early so you can settle in.
What aftercare does a brow lamination, shape and tint need?
- Keep your brows dry for 24 to 48 hours: no makeup, sweat or steam.
- Brush your brows into place each morning; a drop of brow oil keeps laminated hairs soft.
- Lamination and tint often last several weeks; Desiree will tell you when to rebook.
