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.

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.Comb through brows with a clean spoolie once product is applied for more definition and thorough coverage 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. 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?

Then, it’s time to mix up your tint. “You’ll need a small glass dish and an angled brush.” Vincent’s go-to? The KIMIKO’s Essential Brow & Lash Brush, which is ideal for this type of precision application. Put the product over your entire brow, not just sparse sections, for the most even looking application. Set your timer and let the magic happen. Yes, dyeing your own brows feels intimidating, but with some expert tips and the best kits in the game, you’ll be set up for success. Here, we’re sharing our favorite at-home brow tints along with expert-approved tips for getting a natural-looking, albeit slightly enhanced, finish. What to Look For in an Eyebrow Tint 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. In terms of colour, our eyebrows don’t always match the hair on our head exactly; you should consider how your natural brow colour compliments your hair. As such, tinting your brows may involve going with a hue that’s slightly darker or lighter than your hair colour. This is especially true if you’re looking to create an understated, more natural appearance to your brows. What should I do to prepare for applying an eyebrow tint? 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 kitEyebrow 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. 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? 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. 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?

Once you know you’re fine to use a product, cleanse brows and dry them fully before applying the tint to your eyebrows. Any moisturiser, or other skincare product or excess oils present on your brows will prevent the colour from taking properly, so for the best results, this step is essential. Those 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. 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.
