It will not cause blindness unless, you poke yourself deliberatly in the eye with the product. And I highly doubt anyone is going to do that.

Why should you buy a separate product to colour your eyebrows? That's the same marketing ploy they use selling eyecreams. (What's next? chincream, nosecream...?) I think that as long as you're careful (took the allergy test, use caution when applying, etc.) all should be well. Anyway, I took the plunge with L'oreal casting creme (dark brown) and I used a mascara brush to apply it. I let it sit for 10 minutes, washed it off (well, I used a wipe. Wouldn't want any of that stuff ending up in my eyes). Anyway, it works. My eyebrows are much darker and after 3 weeks I can say the colour is holding up quite nicely. I'll definitely do it again when I need to dye my hair. I thought: what the hell, if it works on one area, it should work on another as well.

I am going to dismiss the first response to allergies because if you were allergic to tint you would not be able to color your hair without suffering from the side effects. With that said, the chemical if it gets into your eyes can cause permanent damage to your vision. Please read that last sentence again. Also, your eyebrows shed and grow back in such a rapid cycle that effects of tints are short lived. If you are going to be darkening or attempting to lighten your brows apply the product during the last 5-10 minutes. It really does not take that long, and besides no one wants their eyebrow to look that fake. However, you really should not do it.

Because i just dyed my hair blonde...and im thinking if they make a mascara in that color, would just be Perfect :D because i cant find a place anywhere to do it and i've never really been much for box dye. And sadly, using make-up (or any powder pigment of the such) doesnt really work with dark brows. Does this all apply to people who want lighter eyebrows?
