How To Tint Brows At Home Tutorial | Shonagh Scott

Today's tutorial is on how to tint your eyebrows at home. This is ideal for when you're going on holiday or just don't want to consistently fill in your brows with a pencil, pomade or powder. The tint will stain your skin and colour your vellus hairs (white soft 'peach' hair) thus making your natural brows appear fuller and create a better shape.
Remember to patch test all tints BEFORE use to prevent you having an unwanted reaction.
NOTE: You should clean your eyebrow hair before tinting to remove any oils sitting on the hairs, and you can use vaseline around your eyebrows to prevent excess staining - usually only necessary if you're going to tint for the full 10 minutes. As mentioned in the tutorial, I prefer to do it minutes at a time as my hair grabs tint really well and I don't like them dark.

I tint my eyebrows.... the first time I did it I was going on a blind date the next day , and I had eyebrows the size of slugs when I had finished 🤣😂 I was laughing so much and panicking at the same time... it was a long time ago now and definitely improved 😂😁... thank you so much for the video I enjoy them so much 😀😃

If that happens again use a really good concealer and lile out your wanted eyebrow shape.( yea its a stupid tip bcs everyone may come to this idea, but if i would be ind that situation i would freak out and not think about the obvious tips)

[@allanapel123]

Thanks Shonagh, I've just tinted my wife's brows for the first time using the Syoss kit. And may I say, a great job too 🙂. I purposely searched for a non-Syoss video to find practical pro tips and yours is great. It confirmed my suspicion that the manufacturer's marketers propose far too much product per application. I like how you start with a short application and another if needed.

[@thesun-N-moon8885]

Use the Just for Men beard dye. Works great ….

[@mariapurdea5890]

[@YellowRoses10]

A couple of other tutorials, I saw on brow tinting. They used either concealer or vaseline above and under the eyebrow. It keeps the tint off the skin.

[@ShonaghScott]

This tint is so subtle you don’t have to be concerned as you’ve got time to clean up around it.

[@kristelane8390]

Thank you so much! Everyone seems to be using beard color but I wanted something that is MEANT for around your eyes. I almost bought a box of just for men but I read on the side that it could potentially cause vision loss.

[@ShonaghScott]

Oh gosh, yeah AVOID THAT! How scary. This stuff will be fine, and they also do Black for your lashes!

[@HiHoSilvey]

I've done this for many years using demi color (light natural brown). I'm surprised you remove it so quickly. I leave it on for 25 minutes. Lasts about a week. I also don't have a problem with it staining my skin even though I don't carefully clean it up.

[@ShonaghScott]

25 mins for a weeks wear, wow, that’s a lot more effort. Maybe you should give this a try? I’ve found that many hair colour tints lift the natural hair slightly and when the deposit wears off the hairs are left light which I personally would dislike for brows, you may not find that with your demi? I tend to stick with the products designed specifically for brows. This method usually lasts two weeks on me, and for 30 seconds worth of tinting this is definitely a better option for myself. Glad to hear you’ve found a method that works for you but definitely give this tint a try since it lasts well ☺️

[@HiHoSilvey]

@@ShonaghScott I may give your method a try. The way I've been doing it is foolproof. I don't find it a hassle for a one-week payoff but i do like to experiment. Thanks for your truly.

[@kelliecolunga9730]

I just tried this and my brows are much darker than I’d like😬I used the same color and left it on maybe a minute and a half but they look almost DARK. I’m ashy blonde and maybe should have used a lighter tone or let it on even less time. Hoping it will fade but since we’re basically still in lockdown not sweating it too much. Just wanted to offer fair warning to other blondes. So grateful for the advice and tutorial though!! 💓

[@ShonaghScott]

Hey Kellie, you can always wipe over them with a little bit of acetone or IPA and then wash them. It’ll help take a bit of the colour away, just be careful around your eyes. It’s definitely trial and error when it comes to finding the right tint colour for your brows, I sometimes wipe mine off after 30 seconds just so it doesn’t over-develop. Some people leaves theirs on for 5 minutes! Mine would be black! Haha.

[@honeyowen3163]

Funny story. When I decided to attempt a brow tint it was while I watched a movie. Now, in my own defense, I had a very busy day and you can imagine the horror when I awoke the next am having forgotten to remove the dye. It took 3 days to clean my skin as I'd put a glob on each brow (dark brow) the size of a band-aid. Not nice.

[@theonlylivingparadox]

i have auburn hair and the tips of my brows look quite golden/become invisible in the light so I was thinking of tinting them to match the reddish brown i fill them in with. this was great! i'll def check out the products.

It depends on many factors, how often you wash face, which products you are using your skin, applying SPF, etc… everything will have an affect on how long it lasts. I usually find two weeks on myself. Some people have theirs done every 3-6 weeks.

I picked up the men's beard and mustache tint and haven't used it yet but am seriously thinking of it for the weekend. I am hopeful I'll get the same results as you've had here. I have little to NO hair as I'm of the generation that plucked the life out of my brows in the 80s and 90s. So, I'm left with little to nothing. The MAC pen has been a Godsend to me. I would like to have some color all the time though so I'm going to give it a go over the weekend. Love this video.

It depends on how vigorously you wash your face and which products you use as this can affect the longevity of the dye. I find it lasts on the skin for about 1 week and on the hair for about 4 weeks.

Hi Shonagh, my eyebrows are bushy at the front but they stopped growing at the tail, I have hair it’s just really sparse. Can I still tint my eyebrows ?

[@ShonaghScott]

Hi Cithaly, I would recommend creating an ombré effect with your tint - so place your tint across the brow but avoid the front where it’s bushy. However, don’t create a straight line where it meets the bushy brow, soften it slightly by blurring the line where it stops with a cotton bud. Then you will have a darker tint on the areas that are lacking hairs, and it’ll work as a guide for filling them in with either a pen or pencil. I have loads of tutorials on how to fill them in; kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWLOinWMrZl-pKM kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmXdhZpnnalqeLM kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ7LhJSja7Fmorc

You have to remove it with water. Nothing else, just warm water.

[@claddagh1981]

hahaha brilliant, Snuffleupagus’s eyelashes

[@Allegory101]

May I ask why you did the tinting twice and not in one go?

[@ShonaghScott]

My brow hairs take very quickly and I like them to be very natural so I prefer to tint them in short bursts - if I tinted them too long I’d regret the outcome! Haha… so sometimes it’s better to do two rounds so you can monitor how dark they go.

[@Allegory101]

@@ShonaghScott thank you 😊

[@user-xf2wg5re8j]

omg the color turned like orange brown is there any way to fix this or neutralize it? 😭

[@ShonaghScott]

You can removing it with some acetone (nail polish remover) or IPA (Isopropanol Alcohol) which will take it off the skin at least. In regards to the colour on your hair, you can use a coloured brow gel over it to help neutral it each day but just keep washing them and it’ll eventually fade.

i too have kind of dark brown color and i used a “medium brown” to tint mine (it’s the bran just for men. i know it’s not for eyebrows specifically but i swear it works just the same!) plus, the more you leave it on the more it darkens. so just leave it on for a while longer. hope this helps!

[@Sobersince17]

I just wanna know how to do it without dying my skin and looking like I have two blocks of color on my face

Well as you can see, I don’t end up with two blocks of colour on my face, it’s very subtle because I don’t leave it on very long. That’s the key, only allow it to tint for a max of 60 seconds and see how it looks, you can go again if you need a deeper tint.

[@bkim7000]

I get so many blotchy parts and it's so annoying... How do i prevent that please

[@ShonaghScott]

If it’s blotchy there’s a chance you’ve got natural skin oils still sat on the skin when you’re applying the tint so it’s not penetrating that part and therefore leaving you with a patchy finish. Make sure to really remove any oils from the skin first, which hazel is good for this. It’s a natural astringent.
