Product Information

LIGHT BROWN: Aqua (Water), Cetearyl Alcohol, Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil), PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate, p-Phenylenediamine, m-Aminophenol, CI 77491, CI 77499. Do one brow at a time. Apply the dye fully to one brow before moving to the next. This helps you monitor the processing time of each brow with precision. Protect your surrounding skin. Apply a barrier of Vaseline or another petroleum jelly product to the skin around your brows to avoid staining. Note that you should only use a tint that’s made specifically for tinting your eyebrows – hair dyes often contain ingredients that make them unsafe for application on the skin around the eye area. For those same reasons, you should never use an eyebrow tint to tint your eyelashes either. Should I opt for semi-permanent or permanent?

Begin with clean brows. Remove any brow powder, pencil, or other makeup that may be on your brows before applying the dye. If your brows have started to turn grey, eyebrow dye is an ideal way to deepen them so your face has more definition. But unfortunately, not all eyebrow dyes are strong enough to cover stubborn grey hair. If you have grey eyebrows, choose a dye that’s specifically marketed for grey hair. VersatilityDARK BROWN: Aqua (Water), Cetearyl Alcohol, Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil), PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, p-Phenylenediamine, Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate, m-Aminophenol, Triethanolamine, CI 77491, CI 77499. url": "https://www.lorealparisusa.com/beauty-magazine/makeup/eye-makeup/eyebrow-color-based-on-hair-color" If you’re looking for results that last weeks instead of days, we recommend choosing a permanent eyebrow tint. This will mean you won’t need to top up the colour anywhere near as frequently as with a semi-permanent option. Some permanent eyebrow tints can last anywhere between six and 12 weeks, depending on the brand. There are a range of different at-home eyebrow tints available, including kits comprising a few components, to those that are ready to be applied immediately.

Secondly, keep it simple. Instead of experimenting with a 12-piece tinting kit that makes you feel like a mad scientist, go for the low-stress kits that come with just a dye, an activator, and a few tools for application, or try the peel-off formulas that just require painting over your brows, letting them dry, and then gently peeling off the coating. Or, if you just want to test out some temporary one-day tints, go for a wash-off brow gel or colored brow wax.

As you’ll see from our list below, tinting your eyebrows at home can be far more cost-effective than having them done professionally at a salon. Distribute the dye. After you’ve applied the first layer of the dye to your brows, run a clean spoolie or brow brush through them to ensure that the dye is evenly distributed. LIGHT ASH: Aqua (Water), Cetearyl Alcohol, Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil), PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate, p-Phenylenediamine, m-Aminophenol, 2,6-Diaminophenol, CI 77499. It’s understandable that if you have gray hair you might not want to sport gray eyebrows, and that’s okay. This light color likely won’t be as noticeable against your skin and will prevent you from getting that prominent brow look most of us desire. Instead, try an ashy blonde or brown pencil that’s one to two shades darker than your gray hair.

Many eyebrow dyes can be used on the hair on other parts of your body. For example, you may be able to use the dye to cover up roots between colouring appointments or to cover grey hairs in a beard or moustache. You should only use eyebrow dye on your eyebrows; don’t use hair dye on this delicate area. Using a dye that’s meant for the hair on your head could damage your eyebrows and cause breakage. StrengthThose who are new to tinting their eyebrows at home are probably best plumping for a semi-permanent tint. Depending on the individual product, a semi-permanent tint can last anywhere between a few days to a few weeks, but can also be removed easily if you’re unhappy with the results.

Then, after letting the dye sit for anywhere from 20 minutes to overnight, depending on the instructions and how dark you want your brows, you'll either rinse your brows or peel off the hardened dye coating. My advice? Start with letting the dye sit for the shortest amount of time advised by your kit, and see how dark they get. You can always apply it again for more color, but you can't exactly hit the rewind button once that dye is set. How to choose an at-home eyebrow tinting kit If there’s no reaction within a few hours, it likely means that you should be completely safe to apply the tint to your brows. However, if the test area becomes red, itchy or irritated, it indicates that you might be allergic to one of its ingredients or are especially sensitive to that particular formula – in which case you shouldn’t use the product. Note that there are eyebrow tints designed with sensitive skin in mind, and we have included such products in our list below. Let's first start with WTF these kits actually are. Eyebrow tinting kits semi-permanently dye your eyebrows for up to a few days or a few weeks, depending on the kit, so you can skip the brow pencils and gels every day. You'll need to follow the instructions that come with your kit very carefully (since every kit is a little bit different), but generally, you'll paint the dye across your clean, dry eyebrow, in the direction of your hair growth, covering any area you would normally cover with a brow gel or pencil.

Another pro tip when tinting your eyebrows: outline your brows in a light layer of petroleum jelly or Vaseline. This will prevent any tint from escaping the brow area and dying the skin around your brows. Just be careful to keep the Vaseline from getting onto your actual brow hairs, since as mentioned, this could interfere with the tint working correctly. How much should I spend? id": "https://www.lorealparisusa.com/beauty-magazine/makeup/eye-makeup/eyebrow-color-based-on-hair-color", Hi, if you haven’t been introduced to eyebrow tinting kits yet, hold on for a sec so I can change your life. Picture this: You’re about to do your makeup, which usually requires ten minutes of eyebrow pencils, brow gels, and positive thoughts. But instead of putting in all that effort to get Cara Delevingne-level brows, your eyebrows are already done before you even start. Welcome to the magic of eyebrow tinting, where a few minutes with an at-home tinting kit and some detailed instructions will give you semi-permanently dyed brows that can last anywhere from one day to three weeks. Yup, you'll literally be able to say you woke up like this. Let's get into what you need to know. How do you use eyebrow tinting kits? Most products contain semi-permanent vegetable dyes specifically made for the eye area to avoid irritation. Eyebrow tinting involves applying semi-permanent or permanent colour to create darker, more defined looking brows. And the best bit? Since brow tints can last for weeks at a time, you can do away with the everyday pencilling in, eliminating a time-consuming task of your morning makeup routine, while adding in some extra snooze time. If you’re someone who has their brows done professionally at a salon already, you could save yourself time and money by switching to tinting at home.
