Product Description
Velvet Espresso is a dark brown pigment with a smoky, charcoal undertone—a unique shade unlike any other in the Velvet line. This deep, cool pigment has been a longtime artist favorite thanks to its distinctive tone and ability to create bold, defined brows with a sophisticated edge.
Espresso’s charcoal hint sets it apart from standard dark browns, making it an excellent option for clients who prefer a dramatic, smoky brow look. It’s especially suited for medium to dark skin tones, but with the right mixing and modifications, it can be customized for a wide range of clients.
A true must-have for your pigment collection.
