Strictly Professional Eyelash & Eyebrow Dye Tint Basic Tinting Kit Tint Lash (Eyelash Tint Brown-15g SPE7510) - Tint only, no developer

Product Information

Before the treatment begins, both the client and the eyebrow tint are prepared. This involves using a cream developer to activate the tint and prepping the eyebrow hair and skin, removing all make-up traces. A moisture barrier is created around the eyebrows with Vaseline or petroleum jelly. Another of our best lash and eyebrow tints for professionals is the Apraise Eyelash + Eyebrow Tint. With colour pigment technology and beeswax infused into the rich cream base, the smudge-proof formula lasts up to 8 weeks for a semi-permanent finish. It’s available in the following selection of shades to create a natural lash or eyebrow colour:

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 kitIf 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. And remember, even if you’re tinting your own brows, it’s still important to perform a patch test and apply Vaseline or a heavy face cream around your brows to prevent unwanted staining. The brushes we supply are soft and gentle on the eyes and skin. Use our cleaning brush to get a more precise finish, angled perfectly for use on the brows. Do you have clients who would love their brows to be more visible? For those with fair hair tones, this natural color is ideal. It creates higher visibility without being over the top. Choose this dye for light blondes and redheads, giving them the extra definition they’d like for their eyebrows.

Consider using a different brush: Most kits don't provide the best brushes for applications, Imani says. "So I suggest using a brow brush you’re comfortable with and treating the application like you are filling in your brows with powder," she adds. When professionally done, a stylist will customize the brow tint, considering your hair color and skin tone when mixing your shade. However, if you’re looking to DIY the technique, there are at-home eyebrow dyes you can try.

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?
