Eyebrow tinting is the new form of eyebrow shaping. Tint can be done for people suffering from light eyebrows.
The bold look is preferred by most of the women nowadays. Tinting your eyebrows can make you look gorgeous.
Eyebrow tinting is a process of applying a semi-permanent dye on your eyebrows to define its shape and your natural arch. It takes about 10 minutes at the saloon but if you try at home it might take longer.
You can do it yourself at home using a tint kit that is available at the beauty market.
The tint can last until four to six weeks. During this period the dye slowly fades away. Hair dye can react differently to different people.
To make your tint last as long as possible, keep your brows completely dry for 12 hours after tinting. It is best to avoid oil-based make-up during the tint.
