Eyebrow tints: features, product overview, tips for choosing

In the arsenal of modern fashionistas there are many cosmetics and tools that simplify and facilitate the procedure for applying makeup. One of these products is tint - a unique tinting agent designed for coloring eyebrows. What is this item of decorative cosmetics? What are the pros and cons of using it? What should be considered when choosing a tint? How should they be used?

Eyebrow tints have recently appeared in the beauty industry and quickly gained popularity among fans of innovative cosmetic products. With the help of tints, you can easily adjust the shape and color of the eyebrows, making their contour more expressive and clear.

The main component that is part of the tints is a special waterproof pigment that provides fast and even coloring of eyebrows at home.

The tool is easily applied to the surface of the eyebrows with a convenient applicator, brush or brush. The viscous gel-like consistency of the tint does not allow it to spread beyond the lines of the formed contour.The duration of the staining procedure can vary from 20 minutes to 2 hours. On the modern market of decorative cosmetics, there are 2 main types of tints for eyebrows:

• gel-like tints that form a thin film after drying, which can be easily removed with your fingertips;
• creamy coloring tints, the remains of which are removed after the procedure with hydrophilic oil or micellar water.

It should be noted that tints stain not only the hairs, but also the skin under them. This allows you to ensure the most stable effect of staining. After the procedure, the eyebrows acquire a more saturated shade, but at the same time do not lose their naturalness. The stability of the results obtained depends on the brand of the product and the characteristics of the coloring components that make up its composition.

Usually the effect after applying the tint lasts for 3-10 days. Modern manufacturers offer an impressive selection of tints of various shades. The color palette of these cosmetics includes golden red, light and dark blond, gray-brown, brown-red, chestnut brown, ash gray and even jet black shades.

According to many representatives of the beauty industry, tints have absorbed all the best qualities of other decorative cosmetics used for coloring and contouring eyebrows. Traditional cosmetic pencils, mascaras, markers, shadows and cream gels are significantly inferior to tints in terms of their effectiveness. Among the indisputable advantages of tints for eyebrows, their heat and water resistance should be noted.

After the procedure, the face can be rinsed with water, cleaned with cosmetic milk, hydrophilic oil, treated with tonics, lotions or any other skin care products. In wet, windy or very hot weather, eyebrows tinted with tint will not lose their clarity, brightness and expressiveness.

The relative fastness of staining is another advantage of using tints. The results obtained, on average, last for several days, during which the eyebrows will not require additional staining or contour correction. In addition, unlike tattooing, eyebrow tinting with tints retains the ability to periodically experiment with appearance. So, if necessary, with the help of tints, you can easily change both the usual contour and the shape and color of the eyebrows. With permanent make-up (tattooing) of eyebrows, it is almost impossible to change their existing shade, curves, contours and shape.

The cost-effectiveness of spending tints is another of their objective advantages. For a single eyebrow dyeing procedure, an extremely small amount of product is required, so a standard bottle of 10-12 milliliters may well be enough for several months. The procedure for coloring eyebrows with tints does not take a lot of time, does not require the use of special tools and tools.

The disadvantages of tints themselves include a relatively limited color palette.Using a tint of a certain color, it is difficult to get an original shade that differs from that declared by the manufacturer. Some types of tints, as they fade, can give the eyebrows a reddish-red or greenish tint. Most often, this effect is observed when staining very light eyebrows with tints of brown and rich dark gray tones.

Eyebrow coloring with a tint requires a certain skill and precision of action. For this reason, using this tool for the first time, it is worth practicing in advance in applying clear and even strokes that follow the contours, shape and curves of the eyebrows. Even small flaws (streaks, irregularities) made during the staining process are corrected with great difficulty after the tint dries.
