My Eyebrow Tinting Experience & Blog (excuse the poor quality photos)


If you follow me on Magnichic, you'll know that I struggle for years on how to achieve the perfect brows. I've tried coconut and castor oils to help them grow, eyebrow threading, waxing, I've tried eyebrow stencils, under and over tweezing and it's a battle I may just have to give up on. But, giving up is for the weak. I took my brows to the next level, I tinted them!

Although I had mine tinted in a Nail Salon where they also wax eyebrows, any tinting kit contains 20 pre-measured color capsules, 1-1.5 oz creme developer, 20 application sticks including the instructions. Doing research on eyebrow tinting, I've narrowed down to use the application sticks as "mixing" sticks instead, and if you have an angled or brow shaping pencil, to use that instead to apply the tinting product on your brows.

Also, if you decided to try this at home, use only half of the capsule's product instead of the entire capsule. Kit comes in various colors, same shades as you would normally find in eyebrow pencils and shadows. Using half of the capsules will not only give longevity to your product, but the tint won't be as dark and striking.

Begin my mixing the capsule product with the creme developer in a tiny container, mixing it until you have a somewhat smooth texture (a little lumpy is ok) and picking up just a little product at a time, start applying it over your brows, respecting your brows natural shape.

Allow the tint to set for about 3-4 minutes then remove it with a baby or makeup remover wipe. At first glance, you're going to tell yourself what the H*LL was I thinking, but I can assure you the tint fades after a day or two and probably lasts about 1- 1 /2 weeks. But, not so much in my case. Where I have sparce hairs, the tint faded the very next day. In other areas, it stayed put.

My goal was to tint my brows so I don't have to spend so much time penciling them in everyday, but I got these short coming results. I will probably try tinting my brows again, but I think I'll do it myself at home.
