DARK CHOCOLATE No.5 – Hybrid Brow Line

DARK CHOCOLATE No.5 is the coolest and darkest pigment in the Etalon Mix hybrid range, designed to create depth, contrast, and definition in brow work. With its cool base, this shade delivers a refined, muted brown at low saturation and can build into a deep graphite tone with more intense application. After healing, it maintains a cool, stable result, making it ideal for adding structure and intensity without unwanted warmth.

For application, DARK CHOCOLATE is primarily used as a modifier to darken and cool down other pigments. Due to its strong concentration and cool undertone, it is not recommended for use on its own, especially on lighter skin types, as it may heal too cool. Best results are achieved by adding 1–3 drops into mixes to control depth and temperature. It is especially suitable for Fitzpatrick types 5–6 when combined with a warm or orange corrector to achieve a balanced dark result. Not recommended for lighter skin tones when used alone.

Recommended Mixes:
• Dark Chocolate + Milk Chocolate No.2 – creates a balanced deep brown with controlled warmth.
• Dark Chocolate + Hazelnut No.1 – produces a cooler medium-to-dark brown with natural softness.
• Dark Chocolate + Cognac No.3 – results in a rich, deep brown with a subtle warm balance.
Adjust ratios carefully to control depth and avoid excessive coolness.

DARK CHOCOLATE features a hybrid formula ensuring smooth implantation, controlled saturation, and stable healing. Known for its color stability and versatility, it provides reliable 60–80% retention when used correctly in mixes. The pigment is REACH-compliant, meets strict European safety standards, and is an essential tool for professional artists seeking precision in depth and tone control.
