If youre wondering if a brow tint makes sense for you, the answer is a universal yes.
Everyone is a candidate for brow tinting, says Chanel brow artistJimena Garcia.
Its all about color manipulation.
Brows are the only real texture thats on your face besides your lashes, says Garcia.
Overall, tinting adds shine, richness and softness to the hair, says Streicher.
Tinting is also a low-commitment option, and one that packs a touch less punch than some alternatives.
Any shaping usually takes place post-tint, as more visible baby hairs allow for a cleaner shaping.
How long does an eyebrow tint last?
The duration of your brow tint comes down to hair throw in and lifestyle.
If you have coarser hair its going to last longer.
If you have thin hair, like very smooth hair, it wont last as long, says Garcia.
it’s possible for you to look to your routine for hints, too.
Are you putting a lot of makeup on?
Are you swimming a lot?
Do you do a lot of athletics?
Its really important to consider all of those things if you want a long-lasting tint.
If you must tint at home, chat with a pro first.
Cleanse the brow area to remove oil and makeup before starting in on your tint.
Apply either Egyptian Magic or Vaseline to the area around the brow.
(This step will also protect staining on surrounding skin.)
Brush it into the brow, using the wand to coat the hair completely, says Garcia.
A spatula alone only reaches top hairs instead of getting inside the brow.
Use a Q-tip to clean up any excess product around the brow.
That way, until you master it, you have a little bit of control.
