Don't buy a color that's too dark: For color matching, Imani recommends starting light. Her top tip? Buy your color in a light and dark variety so you can play around with it until you get the right tone. "You can always go darker later, but going from dark to light is challenging," she says. You don't need to be a pro MUA to tint your brows at home. "I recommend buying a kit and following their directions. Mixing, application and processing can vary from kit to kit," Imani tells us.

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? To make sure you get the most life out of your tint, avoid rubbing, scrubbing or scratching your eyebrows. It’s also recommended that you stop using any oil-based facial products and replace them with gel- or cream-based alternatives. Full and fluttery lashes are a popular request from clients. Along with lash tints and lash perms, our strip lashes and individual lashes can take your clients’ eyes from wow to pow! 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.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. Get your hands on our brush and comb in a single tool. It’s comfortable to hold, helping you maneuver the tint where you need it to go as you comb the tint through the brows. Sanitize the tool to reuse it on other clients. Once you’ve had your eyebrows tinted, it’s important to keep them dry for 12 to 24 hours afterward. This angled brush has a fine point and firmer bristles to help with precision, helping you apply the tint around more detailed areas such as the arches. Once the dye has set for the suitable amount of time on the client’s brows, you’ll need to remove the excess, including any product left on the skin. Beautiful Brows and Lashes have developed a gentle yet effective tint remover to help you do this safely. It even contains beneficial natural ingredients such as extracts of willow bark and aloe vera.

We also have the Lotus Eyelash & Eyebrow Tinting Kit available for those who want to get going with the range, which includes a brush, dappen dish and tissues along with the tints themselves. It may sound easy and painless, but before you brush your brows with ink, there are a few things to take into account: Do your clients want fuller-looking, even, and beautifully shaped brows? Combine your eyebrow tinting services with a brow lamination treatment. If you are building up your own professional eyebrow tinting kit, a good selection of lash and brow tints will be essential. Having a product that can be used on both lashes and brows not only helps you keep your kit uncluttered, but allows you to tailor complementary shades for your clients.

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. Chemicals found in retinols and retinoids should also not be used around the eyebrows, as this skin is thin and sensitive and may become irritated. How long does eyebrow tinting last?
