We’re all are searching for ways to reduce the time we spend putting on making up. I mean, it can take some time, especially using brow products.

Have you heard of brow tinting? Does it sound like something you might consider?
Here are things you need to know about eyebrow tinting.
If you dyed your hair and want your lash to match the color of your hair, tinting is a good way to go. It’s most helpful for those with blonde brows that want something darker to help define the face and ladies who want a darker brow shade.
What is eyebrow tinting?
It’s basically the process of dyeing your eyebrow semi-permanent colors. It also stains the pores in your eyebrow to make it appear darker and fuller. You can combine tinting with tweezing, waxing and threading at the same time. Tinting your eyebrow is the same thing with dyeing your scalp hair. The same way you maintain your dyed hair is the same thing that applies here.
Brow tinting can be done in under 30 minutes and there is no pain or down time needed. It is cheaper than microblading, BUT, needs to be done every 4-6 weeks.
What you stand to gain with eyebrow tinting
Apart from helping to give your face more definition, eyebrow tinting gives you that confidence you may have been lacking. Talk about stepping out without having makeup on; with a tinted eyebrow, you can actually take that leap. Brow tinting will give you wake up perfect brows for a short time.
The beauty technique can give you that eyebrow color you’ve been dying for. And the best part is that you get to have it as subtle or as strong as you prefer. And if you’re gunning for a more tailored tone, you can always mix colors to achieve that purpose.
Another benefit is that just about anyone can tint their brows.
How long will it last?
Good question. As much as you’ll love the tint to be permanent, it will eventually start fading at about week 4-6. Eyebrow tinting is a semi-permanent option only. You can always go back for a retouch when yours starts wearing off. Your tint will last longer if you have a coarse or thick hair and lesser if it is oily or thin.
To help your tint last as long as possible, avoid washing your face for the next 24 hours after getting your eyebrow done. Don’t use makeup remover that contains alcohol but those that are mild and gentle.
What does brow tinting cost?
The price of getting your eyebrows tinting can depend on where you go. The general price range is about $20-$40. When calculating the full price, make sure you factor in the touch-ups that will be needed every 4-6 weeks.
Where can I get eyebrow tinting?
Many spas, brow bars, and beauticians offer tinting. You can easily search Google for “eyebrow tinting near me ” or “eyebrow tinting” and insert y our city. If you are a DIY’er, you can tint your brows at home, however, the products you can use will not be as strong as the ones found from professionals. Also, if not applied properly, you may stain your skin for a few days. I would highly recommend an using an eyebrow specialist.
