How to Tint Your Eyebrows At Home

This set has everything you need: a tint, a cream activator, a mixing dish, and an angled brush. It even comes with brow growth oil that’ll keep your hair and skin hydrated after tinting. In terms of at-home kits, this option offers fairly long lasting results—you’ll have darker pigment for three to four weeks. Plus, one purchase affords you up to 12 applications. 

With a powder and a conditioning developer, this kit is ideal for anyone new to the brow tinting game. There are four colors to choose from, and you can customize the intensity depending on how much product you put in the pan and how long you let it sit. The kit comes with a spoolie for application—which is A-ok to use—but you may want to consider an angled eyebrow brush to get an even application. 

Vincent gives this professional-level formula her stamp of approval. She typically uses this baby in tandem with the brand’s three percent cream activator. Not only is this one specifically formulated for sensitive skin, but the plant-based composition also gives a softer finish than some other tints. When it comes time for removal, you’ll want to wipe the solution off with a damp cotton swab, or use the brand’s special RefectoCil Tint Remover (opens in new tab). 

Tempted, but not ready for a long commitment? This tint is the way to go—it’s going to last you a full three days, but not much more. Unlike some of the other tints in this list, this formula doesn’t require you to be an at-home chemist. There’s no mixing involved; just paint it on your brows, let it sit overnight, and peel or wash it off in the a.m. It’s also a fan-favorite, getting an average four out of five stars on Revolve. 

Because this two-step kit has a silver nitrate-based color, itrequire a speedy application. It’s definitely a good idea to line your brows with petroleum jelly so you don’t accidentally stain your skin. That said, the final result is really good, with each application lasting two to three weeks. If you want to keep your brows looking fresh around the clock, you can repeat the tinting process every other week. 

A best-seller on Amazon, this Henna-based eyebrow tinting kit has been reviewed by more than 16,000 users. Like a henna tattoo, this formula is going to stain your skin, as well as your brow hairs, so make sure you pick a color you feel comfortable with. This kit is especially great for anyone trying to cover gray hairs—the pigment is next level. 

You'll need to let this permanent brow gel set for up to two hours, but the results are worth it—your brows will remain tinted in your preferred shade for up to 72 hours. Tip: For more natural-looking fullness, go for a shade a little lighter than the color of your brows.

If this one looks familiar, it's because you've seen the paint-and-peel video tutorials on your social feeds for months. Just fill in your brows with one of the five shades, wait two hours, then gently peel off the film (don't worry; it won't stick to your hair) for a stain of color that fades slowly within a week.

Oftentimes, harsh chemicals can be found in box dye kits. Not in this one. It boasts a non-toxic formula, free of hydrogen peroxide and synthetic dyes. It's perfect for the brow-obsessed who have sensitive skin. Available in four natural shades, it will tint your brows for up to four to six weeks.

If you’re not ready to take the tinting plunge, but still want to achieve fuller, thicker brows that resemble a tint, reach for this brow pencil. “It draws single hairs that last and will keep brows looking their most natural,” says Vincent. 

What this tint lacks in the fancy, Instagrammable-packaging department, it makes up for with true, salon-level results that last for at least two weeks. Plus, each easy-to-follow kit (available in medium brown, dark brown, and light brown) contains 20 applications, making it shockingly affordable for almost a year's worth of dye.
