Schwarzkopf Brow Tint Professional Dark Blonde Permanent

Eyebrow tinting involves applying semi-permanent or permanent colour to create darker, more defined looking brows. And the best bit? Since brow tints can last for weeks at a time, you can do away with the everyday pencilling in, eliminating a time-consuming task of your morning makeup routine, while adding in some extra snooze time. If you’re someone who has their brows done professionally at a salon already, you could save yourself time and money by switching to tinting at home.Amy Clark of Rob Peetoom Salon New York says to make sure the shade of your brows compliments the tones in your hair color. "My general rule would be to keep it as close to the shade of your hair as best as possible, or one shade darker," she says. Going too dark can look severe.

Secondly, keep it simple. Instead of experimenting with a 12-piece tinting kit that makes you feel like a mad scientist, go for the low-stress kits that come with just a dye, an activator, and a few tools for application, or try the peel-off formulas that just require painting over your brows, letting them dry, and then gently peeling off the coating. Or, if you just want to test out some temporary one-day tints, go for a wash-off brow gel or colored brow wax. You guessed it - red hair is notoriously the hardest to match. Very few people have truly red eyebrows, instead opting for an ashier blonde or darker brown shade.

Your hair on your face and around your face should frame and enhance your natural beauty," says Christine Thompson, co-owner and color director at Spoke & Weal. "Getting the tones and level right are essential to translating your look, whether it's soft or strong." Put 1g of eyebrow colour cream (1 division mark on colour cream tube) into the bowl and mix with 0.4g (10 drops) of developer lotion and mix well to a creamy consistency with the other end of the brush. Those who are new to tinting their eyebrows at home are probably best plumping for a semi-permanent tint. Depending on the individual product, a semi-permanent tint can last anywhere between a few days to a few weeks, but can also be removed easily if you’re unhappy with the results. Note that you should only use a tint that’s made specifically for tinting your eyebrows – hair dyes often contain ingredients that make them unsafe for application on the skin around the eye area. For those same reasons, you should never use an eyebrow tint to tint your eyelashes either. Should I opt for semi-permanent or permanent?
