Eyebrow tinting is the process of applying semi-permanent dye to enhance, shape, darken, and define eyebrows. The tint is made from a semi-permanent vegetable dye or henna that is formulated to match your natural eyebrow color. The process is temporary, pain-free, and darkens even the ultra-fine hairs you can barely see. Here are some positive and negative aspects of eyebrow tinting:

Positive:

• Fuller, more defined, and more symmetrical brows
• Immediate difference in brow appearance
• Smudge-proof results remove the need for “filling in”
• Results last up to a month
• More youthful appearance

Negative:

• Allergic reactions
• Injury to the eye if dye drips in it
• Infection
• The FDA does not recommend DIYing your brow tint, as it can cause permanent skin discoloration and even blindness
• Eyebrow tinting dyes aren’t FDA-approved, and formulations can vary widely
• It is illegal in some states for any licensed professional or salon to carry and administer brow dye to a client

It is important to note that eyebrow tinting should be done by a trained, licensed professional to minimize risks. At-home eyebrow tinting carries more risk and is not recommended.
