Sure you can use it to dye your eyebrows but most definitaly not your lashes. It's extermly risky to have all of those chemicals so close to you eyes!
"Back in 1933, a congressional controversy was brewing over the need for new and stronger food, cosmetic, and drug laws. At the time, the FDA had no authority to move against a cosmetic product called Lash Lure that was causing allergic reactions in many women. Two women, in fact, suffered severe reactions to the product; one woman became blind and the second woman died. When the new Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act was passed in 1938, Lash Lure was the first product seized under its authority. A lot of time has passed since then, and although hair and lash dyes have changed a great deal, they are still formulated with peroxide and ammonia or ammonia-like ingredients. If a dye doesn't contain those ingredients, it can't affect hair color.
No one should ever dye her eyelashes or eyebrows. An allergic reaction to the dye could prompt swelling, inflammation, and susceptibility to infection in the eye area. These reactions can severely harm the eye and even cause blindness. The FDA absolutely prohibits the use of hair dyes for eyebrow and eyelash tinting or dyeing, even in beauty salons and other establishments. The FDA has also continuously warned the public about the use of coal-tar dyes on the eyebrows and eyelashes, stating that using them could cause permanent injury to the eyes, including blindness.
There are no natural or synthetic color additives (or coloring agents) approved by the FDA for dyeing or tinting eyelashes and eyebrows—either in beauty salons or in the home. In fact, the law requires all hair-dye products to include instructions for performing patch tests before use, to identify possible allergic reactions, and to carry warnings about the dangers of applying these products to eyebrows and eyelashes. The health hazards of permanent eyelash and eyebrow dyes have been known for more than 60 years. These dyes have repeatedly been cited in scientific literature as capable of causing serious reactions when placed in direct contact with the eye. "
If anything..... Mascara is the way to go!... They sell it in all kinda colors nowadays!
Good luck!

You can use it to dye your eyebrows, but make sure you don't leave it on to long. For your eyelashes, you can get an eyelish tint done or do it yourself. Don't use hair dye on your lashes. It's different type of hair.

Hair dye can be used on brows but not lashes. I t will last for only a week or 10 days because eyebrows grow out very quickly. Be very, very careful around your eyes.

Most hair dyes come with caution and they are usually said to keep away from contact with the eyes. So i think it would be unsafe to use such. Look for hair dyes meant stricktly for the eyelashes and brows.
The eye is a very sentitive object. I wouldnt take such risk if i were you. Ask those who cant see what it feels like and you would know the best thing to do

definately NOT!!! the percentage of peroxide in hair dye is much higher than what is used to tint eyelashes and eyebrows. Don't even think about it. You must be very careful with treatments around the eyes. Take care.

No. Your eyebrows are a different texture than your hair, so it's very trick to get it right. And eyelashes are just a bad idea, you DON'T want hair dye in your eyes!!!

I would not try that at home, let a trained professional do that, if you really want to dye your eyebrows and eyelashes

No, the chemicals in the hair dye are too harsh for the eye lashes , there is a chance u can get the hair dye in the eye itself and that can cause damage to the eye itself. its better to go to a beautician that specializes in this service and get it done correctly.

No please do not use hair dye as it contains high levels of peroxide and is dangerous for the eyes. You can buy specialist eyelash/brow dye from Boots - Louis Marcel do one in various shades which is much genter but still stings.
