Is it worth getting my eyebrows tinted?

IF YOU'VE EVER spent precious minutes in the morning filling your brows with pencil or gel, you’ve probably wondered if there’s a quicker, longer-lasting solution. 

Enter: eyebrow tinting – the semi-permanent trick that promises definition, symmetry, and a little less time in the mirror (or salon).

But is it really worth it? Let’s break it down.

What eyebrow tinting actually does

Eyebrow tinting involves applying a gentle dye to your brow hairs (and sometimes the skin underneath) to create the look of fuller, more defined brows. The result? Brows that appear thicker and more structured, without the daily fuss of makeup.

The process typically takes about 15-20 minutes, and lasts anywhere from two to six weeks, depending on your skin type, how often you cleanse your face, and your aftercare routine.

Why people love it

• Time-saving: No more morning brow routine – your arches are already shaped and tinted.

• Low maintenance: Tinting helps brows look polished even without makeup.

• Customisable: Shades can be tailored to your hair colour and complexion.

• Confidence boost: Defined brows can subtly lift and frame your entire face.

What to consider

While tinting is generally quick and gentle, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. If you have very sparse brows, the tint will darken the hairs that are there — but won’t add density where there isn’t hair. In that case, combining tint with a brow gel or pencil may still be your best bet.

It’s also important to use safe, high-quality products and follow instructions carefully, especially if you’re tinting at home.
