They’re wild, a bit unruly and we’re obsessed! No, they’re not the cute boys who live down the street. They’re Cara Delevigne’s eyebrows. We just can’t get enough of the unkempt full brows she flaunts with every fierce and glorious glare into the camera.
But we’re not all born blessed with these beautiful bushes. The solution? Eyebrow tinting.
The best part about this beauty trend is that it’s not permanent. But fortunately, it does last for a good amount of time – longer than wax in fact. So if you’re interested and need more information, ENTITY took the time to gather everything you need to know about eyebrow tinting.
Eyebrow tinting spices up your look by darkening your color, making the procedure ideal for those with fair and light-colored brows. Although, anyone with a darker feature can certainly benefit from tinting by creating a darker richer texture.
Tinting can also add definition and thickness to your arches because it dyes and fills in your peach fuzz hairs to help lengthen your overall look. The key is to elongate the eyebrows by using the natural, fine hairs you already have.
Also, do you go blonde in the winter and brunette in the summertime?
You may want to consider getting an eyebrow tinting treatment done if you tend to dye your hair often. Changing your hair color can throw off your eyebrow coloring or make them seem a bit off balance. If you’re naturally brown and you recently went blonde, you can opt for a lighter shade for your eyebrows to even things out. The same rule applies if you opt for a darker shade of hair color.
The Benefit Cosmetics website says that eyebrow tinting typically lasts between 3-4 weeks. Although, beautyresource.org claims that the tinting should last between 6-8 weeks because “eyebrow hairs have a short life cycle” and they tend to fall after this amount of time.
Do not wash your face and especially don’t touch your newly tinted eyebrows for the remainder of the day or, at the very least, a couple hours after treated.
Washing your face would prevent the color from fully absorbing into the eyebrow hair, thus shortening the amount of time the dye lasts.
First-off, eyebrow tinting should only be done by a licensed professional. Do not treat this as one of your Saturday DIY projects.
Being selective about the salon you choose is okay because you want the job to get done safely and efficiently. And if you have skin allergies, it may be smart to test out the dye on a small area on the back of your arm. Try finding an expert who uses vegetable-based dye to help decrease the chances of a reaction.
You can also try any benefit cosmetic’s store where a licensed eyebrow technician can provide a professional tinting service to give you a custom-blended color and more personality to your arches.
