What is Hybrid Brow Dye?
Hybrid Brow Dye is one of those treatments that once you start using it in your salon… you wonder how you ever worked without it!
Unlike traditional brow tints, Hybrid Dye colors both the brow hairs and the skin underneath. This creates that beautiful, softly filled-in effect that many clients love - almost like a light brow makeup look, but without having to use a pencil every morning.
It’s especially great for clients with sparse brows, small gaps, or anyone who wants more definition while still keeping their brows natural-looking.
Another big reason Brow Artists love hybrid dye is the longevity. The skin stain can last up to 11 days, while the brow hairs stay tinted for up to 6 weeks, depending on skin type and aftercare. That means happy clients who enjoy their brows longer, and are excited to come back!
Meet Liquid Dye with Keratin
At Supercilium, our Hybrid Dye is Liquid Dye with Keratin ↗.
After the worldwide success of Brow Henna, we noticed something Brow Artists kept asking for: a tint that delivers quick, beautiful, long-lasting results.
That’s exactly why Liquid Dye with Keratin was created!
Yes, it's true. This Hybrid Dye is infused with keratin, which helps support and strengthen the brow hairs during the treatment. So while you’re tinting the brows, you’re also helping maintain healthier-looking hairs!

Why Brow Artists Love Hybrid Dye
Are you wondering why Hybrid Dye has become such a favorite treatment in salons?
Once you start working with it, the benefits become very clear. It’s fast, versatile, and gives clients that beautifully defined brow look they’re asking for.
-
Quick results
Hybrid Dye develops quickly, which makes it perfect when your schedule is full. Within minutes, you can create fuller, more defined brows - and your client immediately sees the transformation. -
Fuller brows without permanent makeup
Because Hybrid Dye stains both the hairs and the skin underneath, it helps fill small gaps and create that softly filled-in effect. Many clients describe it as a natural “brow makeup” look that lasts for days. -
Custom color mixing for every client
This is where Hybrid Dye becomes a real creative tool. With Liquid Dye with Keratin ↗, you have 8 mixable shades to work with! By mixing colors, you can adjust warmth, depth, and intensity to perfectly match every client’s hair color and skin tone.
8 Colors You’ll Love
The Liquid Dye Color Range: 8 Shades Explained
One of the biggest benefits of working with Liquid Dye with Keratin ↗ is the color flexibility! Instead of limiting yourself to just a few brow tint shades, you get 8 beautiful colors that can be used alone or mixed together to create the perfect match for every client.
Let’s take a closer look at each shade:
Ash Grey - Cooling down warm tones
Ash Grey ↗ is one of our newest shades, perfect for clients with cool undertones, grey hair, or naturally ashy brows. It creates a soft grey-brown stain that neutralizes warmth.
It’s also an amazing mixer. If a color feels too warm or slightly reddish, adding 10–30% Ash Grey will instantly cool the result.
Pro tip: Try 2/3 Blonde + 1/3 Ash Grey for a beautiful neutral blonde tone.
Warm Brown - The perfect warmth booster
Warm Brown ↗ is the shade you’ll reach for when a mix feels too cool. It creates a warm chestnut-brown tone that works beautifully on clients with golden undertones or reddish hair.
Add 25–50% Warm Brown to Medium or Dark Brown to bring warmth back into the brows. It’s also great for Fitzpatrick 3–5 skin tones where cooler shades can sometimes appear too grey.
Auburn - For redheads and warm brunettes
Auburn ↗ is designed for redheads, strawberry blondes, and warm brunettes. It gives a rich reddish-brown tone that enhances natural warmth.
You can also use Auburn to warm up other shades by adding 10–30% to your mix.
Pro tip: For a deeper copper tone, try 2/3 Auburn + 1/3 Dark Brown.
Blonde - The lightest shade
Blonde ↗ is perfect for very light brows, natural blondes, or first-time tint clients who want subtle results.
It creates a soft golden tone that enhances the brows without making them look too dark.
Blonde is also a great mixer. Add it to stronger shades to soften the result or combine it with Light or Medium Brown for extra depth.
Light Brown - Your most versatile shade
Light Brown ↗ is one of the most flexible shades in the range. It’s ideal for clients with light blonde to mid-brown hair and neutral skin tones.
It can easily be warmed up with Auburn or Warm Brown, cooled down with Ash Grey, or softened with Blonde.
Many Brow Artists love using Light Brown to balance stronger colors like Medium Brown or Dark Brown.
Medium Brown - The universal shade
If you had to pick one shade for the majority of clients, Medium Brown ↗ would probably be it!
This balanced neutral brown works beautifully for dark blondes, brunettes, and olive skin tones. It gives definition without looking too dark.
Medium Brown is also a great base shade for mixing. You can easily warm it up, cool it down, or deepen it depending on your client.
Dark Brown - Bold definition
Dark Brown ↗ creates a rich espresso-toned result that’s perfect for medium to dark brunettes or clients who prefer more defined brows.
If the color feels too strong, you can soften it by adding Medium Brown.
For warmer skin tones, mixing in Auburn or Warm Brown can help prevent the brows from looking too cool.
Black - Depth and intensity
Black ↗ is the deepest shade in the Liquid Dye range. It’s ideal for clients with very dark hair or those who love a high-contrast brow look.
Adding 10–30% Black to Dark Brown creates a deeper, more intense shade. You can also use Black shade to color lashes!
One of the secrets to mastering Hybrid Dye is learning how to mix these shades confidently. That’s exactly why we created the Mixing Masterclass with Alexandra ↗.

Pro Tips From Brow Artists
When you start working with Hybrid Dye regularly, you’ll quickly notice that small technique tweaks can make a big difference in the final result. Here are a few pro tips from Brow Artists who work with Liquid Dye with Keratin ↗ daily.
1. Build the color in thin layers
According to Mandy from @blushbeauty, one of the most important things when working with Liquid Dye is patience.
“Work in multiple, thin layers. You need to build up the tint. I usually apply two thin layers, but only after the first one is fully dry.”
This technique helps the dye develop more evenly and gives you better control over the intensity of the stain.

2. Use the Color Corrector for softer fronts
Another golden tip from Mandy is to always keep the Color Corrector ↗ nearby.
“The Supercilium Color Corrector is perfect for softening and blending the fronts.”
It’s the easiest way to create that soft ombré effect at the beginning of the brows while keeping the tail more defined.
3. Use the stamping technique for extra precision
Another great tip comes from Alexandra! She recommends working with thin layers and a stamping technique, especially along the bottom line of the brow.
Instead of dragging the brush across the skin, gently stamp the product into place. This gives you more control and helps create clean, straight lines with a smooth finish.
Working in thin layers also allows you to build the color gradually without over-applying the dye. The result is a beautifully even stain that looks natural, precise, and stays vibrant for weeks.
