Eyebrow and eyelash tinting is the perfect way to look made up with minimum effort. Your eyebrows and eyelashes will look defined without a slick of makeup. If you're after a more dramatic look you can choose a contrasting shade or you can always top up your look with mascara or eyebrow powder. The eyes have it...

If you’re not lucky enough to have naturally bushy brows and luscious lashes, then tinting is a quick and easy way to make your eyes look larger and lashes longer, without the need for makeup. Blondes, redheads and those with a fair complexion particularly benefit from the added definition. Even dark hair gets lightened by the sun, with the ends and lower lashes often barely noticeable. Tinting is great if you lead an active lifestyle, whether that’s playing sport or just wanting to look good in any sort of weather. Dyeing is also great for anyone not keen on or too busy for cosmetics, as there’s no need to use mascara or to pencil in your eyebrows. Semi-permanent makeup can also include eyeliner, removing the need for eye makeup all together.

What to expect from eyelash and eyebrow tinting?

Big brows are back in vogue. Tinting makes your brows look thicker, darker and longer, and the added structure adds volume to sparser brows. Imagine waking up and not needing a lick of powder, pomade or pencil - dreamy, right? If additional reinforcements are needed you can apply a regrowth serum or look into HD (High Definition) Brows: a more intensive 18 month programme which involves tinting and trimming, but not threading or tweezing, to encourage the hair to come back.

Tinting takes around 15 to 20 minutes, and about half an hour if you’re having your brows and lashes done together. The effect lasts for around 6 weeks - the time it takes for the hair to grow or fall out. A strong look will require a more frequent maintenance. In the salon your beauty specialist will help you pick the tint that will complement your hair, eye and skin colour perfectly. And whilst you're at it, you might as well have your brows tweezed, threaded or shaped for that extra brow wow.

Good to know

You’ll need to have a consultation at least 24 hours in advance and to take your contact lenses out to have the treatment - and to keep these out for a few hours after. A patch test will be done on your inner arm to check that the dye doesn’t cause a rash or inflammation. Specialist hair dye is used which is semi-permanent and suitable for these sensitive areas. This can be washed out and wiped off with water immediately after they’ve been applied if necessary. Cotton pads are placed on your eyelids and Vaseline applied to the area around your brows to prevent staining. Your clothes will be protected using a gown or a towel. If you do experience any irritation, tints made from vegetable fats can be used instead of the standard dye and peroxide.

As well as the aesthetic benefits, getting your eyelashes and eyebrows tinted means you’ll say goodbye to panda eyes and black marks on the pillow, and no longer be confronted by mascara smudges or a bare face when you look in the mirror. Long live lashes and eyebrows!
