What Is Eyebrow Tinting?
Eyebrow tinting uses semi-permanent dye to temporarily enhance, shape, and define brows.

“Tinting your brows at home is surprisingly easy,” says celebrity makeup artist and brow expertRamy Gafni.
“The key is to go for the correct color and formula.”
It always seemed like something I could do.

And so I did.
And I haven’t paid for an in-salon eyebrow tinting since.
Then brush through them with a spoolie as you normally would.

“That way, any dye on the skin will wipe away easily,” notes Gafni.
Wait for a complete 24-hour period to ensure you do not experience any adverse reactions.
“Choose a shade that is two to three shades lighter than your hair color,” advises Gafni.

So if you have brown hair, you should start with blonde eyebrow dye.
To mix the dye, follow the instructions that come with the kit you’ve purchased.
Mix the two until completely combined.

Then, use a clean spoolie to help evenly distribute the dye throughout your brows.
But for your first time, it’s better safe than sorry!
If it really bothers you, try cleansing the brows with a cotton pad drenched inmicellar water.

Step Six: Repeat on the Other Brow
Repeat the above steps on your second eyebrow.
The Final Look
And that’s it!
Give it another scrub with cleanser and follow up with toner.

As I mentioned before, the tint will fade.
But at around $15 for three applications, it’s a better deal than going the salon route.
“If you stain your skin, simply exfoliate the area,” says Gafni.
And if you’re unhappy with the results, they’re easy to correct.
