Keeping up with a daily brow routine can be tiring, believe us, we understand this more than anyone. But there is a cost-effective solution that means you can have the perfect brow everyday: Brow tinting. 

Semi-permanent but doesn’t quite require the commitment of year-long results, brow tinting is the perfect solution if you’re trying to achieve effortlessly flawless brows, all day, every day. 

So what is brow tinting? How long does it last? But more importantly, how do you tint your brows? We’ve created an end-to-end guide for everything you need to know before committing to brow tinting.  

What does a Brow Tint do?  

Using semi-permanent dye, brow tint dyes each of your hairs using dye that’s slightly darker than the shade of your hairs to give the look of thicker and fuller eyebrows and to also add definition and shape. ‘Tinting is one of the quickest ways to achieve a thicker, natural-looking, long-lasting looking brow.’ says Jaimineey Patel, Head of Training at Blink brow Bar.  

What does Brow Tinting involve? 

Whether you get Brow Tinting done in store by our specialist therapists, or if you’re unable to get to our brow bars and decide to complete at home with our Brow Tint Kit, the formula and ingredients used are the same. 

Whether you prefer the convenience of at home tinting, or the expertise of an in-store treatment, the ingredients and formula of both offer consistently high-quality results. 

The best brow tints start with the best preparation - which first starts with cleaning the brow area to remove all traces of makeup. Then, apply a thin layer of our Skin Protection Balm on the skin around the eyebrows and eyelids to avoid any contact with the dye and your skin.  

Then, you’ll need to mix the Cream Developer and a Brow Tint capsule together in equal amounts to create a soft creamy texture. Using the blend applicator, you’ll then brush the dye through you brows, determining your shape and the hairs that are coated in dye.  

For the best brows, we recommend choosing 1 or 2 shades darker than your natural brows, to get the best impact. 

Should I Dye at Home or Have Someone Tint? 

If what you're looking for is perfectly sculpted brows without the hassle, an in-person visit to your nearest Brow Bar [link] is the choice for you. Having shaped 20 million brows in 20-years, our specialist brow therapists know a thing or two about creating the right brows to lift, and transform your face and features. 

But, if a hands-on approach is more your thing, or can't quite make it to your local brow bar, our Complete at Home Tint Kit delivers salon-quality brows in just 15-minutes or less. A more convenient option for those that may prefer results in the comfort of their own home. 

How long does a brow tint last? 

Classic brow tinting lasts up to 3 weeks, for both at-home and in-store tinting. But if you're tired of touch ups and are ready to elevate your brow game, perhaps a Longwear Brow Tint is for you. Unlike traditional tinting, a longwear brow tint can deliver lasting results of up to 6-weeks - it's in the name! It combines the method of dying your hairs whilst also staining your skin, creating a salon-fresh, defined look for longer. 

Will Brow Tinting Dye My Skin? 

While Classic Tinting is a semi-permanent treatment, meaning brows can expect results to last around 3-weeks, if you’re looking for longer-lasting results, we recommend a Longwear Brow Tint, which also stains the skin to create fuller, bolder brows. A Longwear Brow Tint can last up to 5-6 weeks, 50% longer than a classic Brow Tint. 

Can Blondes Get Brow Tinting? 

100% - we're here to dispel the myth that brow tinting is exclusively for those with darker hair, or at least looking to achieve the results of deep browns & blacks with their brows. Tinting is all in the skill of the hand and our specialist brow technicians are the heroes when it comes to enhancing light brows with subtle definition and depth. 

Key Takeaway

Essentially, brow tinting is an incredibly cost-effective and time-effective and generally all-round effective choice for anyone who's looking to achieve fuller and thicker brows. It's the perfect option for anyone who wants that subtle transformation to enhance your face without all the fuss. Whether you decide to complete at home or in person, feel rest assured that we're positive that your results will leave you feeling confident.
