Before performing eyebrow tinting with a semi-permanent dye, the esthetician should:
a.Skip any patch test because the dye is for brows only
b.Use the dye only on clients who have never had any cosmetic before
c.Perform a patch test at least 24-48 hours in advance to check for allergic reaction
d.Apply the dye and rinse quickly if the client reports stinging

Brow tints often contain ingredients such as PPD that can trigger severe allergic contact dermatitis. A patch test 24-48 hours before the service is the standard precaution; skipping it can put the client at risk of swelling, blistering, and anaphylaxis.
