Eyebrow Tinting: Myths vs. Facts
By Amaya Determann and Alayah Brantley
There are a plethora of eyebrow tints and dyes on the market. Eyebrow tinting has increased in popularity due to its time-saving nature and natural looking effect. It can help reduce the time spent getting ready and enhance the appearance of fuller brows. While eyebrow tinting has been around since ancient times, it has seen a resurgence in popularity and exposure through social media. As with any appearance-enhancing product, there are many myths surrounding eyebrow tinting, and some people are still skeptical about it. Myths like eyebrow tinting is painful, the tint is permanent, and that eyebrow tinting can break the bank. In today's blog, we are here to share facts you may not know about eyebrow tinting, and debunk all of these brow myths. Let's get into it.
Myth: Eyebrow Tinting Looks Unnatural
One myth surrounding eyebrow-tinting is that it can give an unnatural appearance. Most eyebrow tinting uses semi-permeant dye which stains the skin and hair, providing a more filled-In look to the eyebrow. It is important to choose the right shade range to ensure natural results. Don’t be alarmed if your eyebrows look too dark when you first remove the stain, as eyebrow tinting does lighten overtime. There are also stain removers to help reduce the level of darkness of the brows.
MYTH: EYEBROW TINTING IS PERMANENT
As mentioned before eyebrow tinting is semi-permanent, which mean sit will not leave a long-term effect like microblading. Most eyebrow tint will last 3-6 weeks depending on the brand, and will fade to your natural brow shade over time. Eyebrow tinting provides a more natural look compared to heavy brow pencils or pomades. It will also decrease the number of products used on your brows. You will only need to brush them through or apply a clear eyebrow gel to hold the hair in place. Overall, it is a great solution for those who like a more natural, longer lasting makeup look.
In Indian culture, henna is used for special occasions such as weddings or festivals. This form of art is known as mehendi, and is used to create beautiful designs on the body of men and women. Henna leaves behind a stain, allowing the beautiful designs to last a while.
Myth: Eyebrow Tinting is Expensive
Those with the mistaken belief that eyebrow tinting is expensive may have not heard of at-home tinting. Depending on where you live, getting your brows done at the salon can be on the more expensive side. Tinting your brows at home is the best solution for those of us who are on the go. It’s a easy and affordable beauty treatment that’s right at your fingertips. Unlike salons that make you schedule routine visits and pay premium prices, at home tints allow you the luxury to customize your look for a fraction of the price.
