Schwarzkopf Brow Tint Professional formula Eyebrow Dye Brow Tinting Kit with Gentle Permanent Colour - Dark Blonde

Product Information

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. 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.

The main difference for me is always at the beginning of my brows. This is the area I usually have to fill in with a pencil, adding hair-like strokes. But when I have a fresh tint, all I need to do is run a styling gel, like Glossier's Boy Brow through them and I'm out the door. Such a timesaver! These are the best brow products, according to GLAMOUR HQ: I would always suggest using more than one product, whether it’s a pencil and a gel, or a powder and a pomade, whichever your preference or style,' says Laurretta Power, National Brow Artist at Benefit. 'This will add texture leaving brows looking fuller and more lifelike. Also for dimension and added depth use products in slightly different shades, for instance Benefit's Precisely My Brow Pencil in shade 6 alongside Gimme Brow+ in shade 4.5.' Eyebrow pencils and crayons are great for defining and filling in eyebrows. Use eyebrow pencils to create a refined, clean look. Application is very important when it comes to eyebrows. Follow these steps to get the perfect look:

These are the best brow products, according to GLAMOUR HQ:

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. Do you go for a gel, pencil, pomade or powder formula? Do you brush up, brush out, fill in sparse areas or the whole lot? And the age-old question: what eyebrow shade is right for you? From her first appearance alongside boyfriend Prince Harry in 2017 to the present day, these are Meghan Markle's fashion favorites. The general rule for brunettes is to stay one or two shade ranges from your hair colour. 'If in doubt you can always add either to your existing brow products, to add warm or cool tones to the brows,' advises Power. If you’ve got ashy, cooler or light brown hair we love Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Medium Brown. Eyebrow powder fills in brows while creating a soft, natural look. It works well to fill in sparse spots.

Still can’t decide which brow product is right for you? First of all, says Patel, think about the texture. 'Gels are best for offering a subtle amount of colour to brows, as they only coat the brow hairs,' she says. 'Pencils and pomades are great for a more defined look, filling in any gaps and adding colour AND shape to brows.' Because lets face it, with a hundred thousand different skin tones and a plethora of hair shades out there, choosing your eyebrow shade isn’t as simple as ‘ blonde or brunette.’ Being fair-haired (my natural colour is a mousey brown), my eyebrows really benefit from a tint, to make them 1-2 shades darker. Because I cleanse my skin thoroughly every night ( micellar water counts!), a tint only lasts in my brows for a week or two, so this way I can have regular top-ups without splashing the cash. 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. 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.Instead, opt for a cooler medium toned brown instead. You can always build up the product if you like a darker finish. We like Nudestix Eyebrow Stylus in Brown. There are several different types of eyebrow makeup to choose from, each giving a different effect. The type of eyebrow makeup you choose depends on how you want your eyebrows to look. You can even use different types of makeup at once to create a more complex look.

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. 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.

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. Personally I tend to opt for a light warm brown for red heads, usually the brows are extremely fair so using a red or auburn alone looks less natural,' says Power. 'Instead I use brown with redder undertones, for those with darker brows I match to the brow hairs.'Some eyebrow shapes may be more (or less) flattering than others because of your face shape. Read about how to choose eyebrow shapes for your face shape here, then groom your brows accordingly to get the right look for you. STEP 2. Once your tint is ready, prep your skin by making sure all makeup is removed. Apply a moisture barrier around your brows (to prevent from any staining slips ups), using a balm like Lanolips or any old moisturiser. Just a thin layer underneath your arch and above your tail is usually all you need. If you have blonde eyebrows and you're not a fan of makeup, there are several semi-permanent methods you can use to darken, define, fill-in, and embolden your brows. First and foremost, you want to comb your eyebrows. Use your spoolie brush to comb your eyebrows in an upward motion, grooming and separating your eyebrow hairs. Tempted, but not ready for a long commitment? This tint is the way to go—it’s going to last you a full three days, but not much more. Unlike some of the other tints in this list, this formula doesn’t require you to be an at-home chemist. There’s no mixing involved; just paint it on your brows, let it sit overnight, and peel or wash it off in the a.m. It’s also a fan-favorite, getting an average four out of five stars on Revolve.
