How to make your eyebrow tint last a really (really) long time

2 August 2021 by Beth Ryan

You’ve tinted your brows. Everything is fuller, sharper, all-round preened. You’ve seen a world of ‘perfect’ brows and can’t imagine one without. Fear not, tinters, there are simple tricks that’ll keep that dye lasting long beyond your nightly makeup removal. From where to go, to how to care for ’em, here are the four things you need to do to keep your brows looking top-notch once you’re out the salon door.

    1 Go to a pro

    An at-home tint just isn't the same thing. Don't try it. The colour used in a professional salon is vegetable dye, which lasts longer full-stop. Avoid the raccoon-stripe of dye across your brows, and just head to the professionals. They'll keep your brows looking tip-top for longer.

    2 Go a little darker

    We'll state it now – it's better to go darker with your brow tint. The colour will fade (boo), so a darker dye will create a fuller illusion for longer. Turns out, roots are a thing for brows too, so bear that in mind when shifting your brow shade from light to dark, or vice versa. Invest in a good pencil, or pomade, to top up between tinting trips.

    3 Keep them dry

    Don't be tempted to wash (or touch) your brows after tinting – for 12 hours. Cleanse around the brow area; this gives the dye more time to settle into the hairs. When you do remove your makeup, oil-based cleansers can strip the tint, so swap for gel or cream-based products.

    4 Careful with the spoolie

    In short: be careful when grooming post-tint. Continuous combing (as wondrous as that spoolie-shaping feels), will encourage hairs to fall out more quickly, and can lift the tint. A quick shape in the morning, and you're good to go. FYI, HD brows will maintain a stronger-shape for longer as well as your tint. Just a thought.  

    With Treatwell, you can book beauty online at all your favourite salons – simple, hassle-free, and you can do it on the go. Discover amazing salons in your area for your brow tint.
