Tinting

Eyebrow tinting is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that uses a special dye to darken and define eyebrow hairs, making them appear fuller and thicker. It works by colouring both the hairs and temporarily "staining" the skin underneath, which can help fill in gaps and create a more polished look without daily makeup. This treatment is different from microblading, which is a form of tattooing, and the results typically last from three to six weeks.

How it works

A professional or at-home kit applies a semi-permanent dye to the eyebrows.

The dye darkens the natural hair and can also stain the skin beneath the brow line for a fuller effect.

The process is similar to colouring hair but uses a formula safe for the facial area.

It is effective for individuals with light, greying, or sparse eyebrows.

What to expect

Duration:

The tinting process itself is quick, typically taking less than 30 minutes.

Results:

The color on the hairs can last two to six weeks, while the skin stain may fade in a shorter period, around one week.

Aftercare:

You should avoid washing the area for at least 12 hours and try not to rub or touch it excessively for 24 hours. Chlorine can also shorten the tint's lifespan.

Benefits

Not a permanent solution:

Tinting only colours existing hair and cannot fill in completely bald or missing patches of skin.

Potential risks:

Allergic reactions, chemical burns, and eye injuries are possible risks, especially if proper safety measures are not followed.

Eye lash tinting is a lash tint is a cosmetic treatment where a semi-permanent dye is applied to eyelashes to make them appear darker and fuller, giving the effect of mascara without needing makeup. The process is quick, typically taking 15–30 minutes, and the results last for about 4 to 6 weeks.
