What is Brow Tinting?

Want full, thick eyebrows without filling them in daily or the pain of microblading? Eyebrow tinting could be the solution for you! It’s a painless and inexpensive way to add depth to your facial features without a full, daily makeup routine—and it only takes five minutes to achieve a perfectly on-point look.

How Does Eyebrow Tinting Work?

An eyebrow tint enhances, shapes, and defines your eyebrows with semi-permanent dye, making them look fuller without any extra effort. A high-quality brow tint also dyes the fine hairs around your brows, elongating your natural shape. For this reason, we do an eyebrow wax before your tint to clean up the edges.

What Happens at an Eyebrow Tint Reservation?

After a consultation with one of our specialists, it’s time for your first EWC Eyebrow Tint.

Here’s what to expect when you check in:

Your eyebrow wax is completed before tinting.
After waxing, your specialist cleanses your brows to remove any makeup or oil.
They choose and apply the right shade of tint for your complexion.
Next, they remove the tint and then apply the activator, which starts the tinting process.
They cleanse your brows again to remove the activator.

That’s it! The process takes five minutes, making it easy to schedule during a lunch break or on your way home from work. You can also book it within the same timeframe as an eyebrow wax. For the best results, follow an eyebrow tint aftercare routine. Ask your specialist for additional aftercare tips when you schedule your next reservation.

How Long Does an Eyebrow Tint Last?

An eyebrow tint lasts around three to four weeks. It starts to fade around week three, so most guests like to schedule monthly reservations to keep their shape looking consistent.

How Do You Choose an Eyebrow Tint Shade?

The best tints don’t call attention to your eyebrows. Rather, they give you a beautifully natural look that frames and enhances your entire face. A natural eyebrow tint should be as similar as possible to your hair color—or one shade darker. Guests with black hair may prefer slightly lighter brows for a softer look.

Is Eyebrow Tinting Better Than Microblading?

When it comes to long-term eyebrow maintenance, many people find themselves deciding between eyebrow tints and microblading. Both result in beautiful, defined brows, but they do it in very different ways.

Which is more expensive? Microblading is more expensive than eyebrow tinting. Brow tints typically cost around the same as an eyebrow wax, making them a more affordable option in the short term.
Which is more painful? Microblading is more painful than brow tinting, which is completely painless. Unlike brow tints that apply semi-permanent colorant to your brow hairs, microblading applies color to the skin under your eyebrows, similar to a tattoo. And, like getting a tattoo, the microblading process can be painful, especially compared to a pain-free brow tint process.
Which is permanent? Neither brow tints nor microblading are permanent, though microblading lasts longer than brow tints at around 12 to 30 months. Both procedures require touch-ups between treatments, but brow tint touch-ups are faster, less painful, and less expensive than microblading touch-ups.

Is Eyebrow Tinting Worth It?

Eyebrow tinting isn’t a permanent cosmetic procedure, but many guests find the great results and easy maintenance well worth the low cost and follow-ups. The semi-permanent nature makes it easy for you to adjust the shade or match a new hair color if you’re looking for a change. Eyebrow tints save you time (and money) on daily makeup applications, as guests report that their tints give their faces a natural depth and fullness.
