L'Oreal Paris Brow Tint 30mlBoots

Available in five different shades, the L'Oreal Paris Brow Tint is one of our favourite kits. With a quick and easy application, you can skip that next salon appointment and save some dollars. The tint lasts around five weeks, and the solution will allow you to tint 10 pairs (!). No touch-ups, no mess.

Boots customers vouch for this pick - with an average 4.5/5 average star rating, to boot. Actually, 94% of reviews would recommend this product, which is crazy high (!) Many users found the tint easy to use and effective, with results lasting ages. And it can cover grey hairs. And, if you're a blonde girlie, don't worry - so many light-haired gals recommend this in the blonde shade. The application is super smooth, shouldn't have any gross chemical smell, and provides even coverage. Not only that, but it's salon-quality and affordable, providing a durable and smudge-proof tint at home. However, a few found that the tint did not work on darker brows, and others reported reactions - do a patch test.

  • A useful, budget at-home alternative to salon treatments
  • Many report that the tint lasted for weeks without fading

Best brow tint for volume

Morphe Brow Tease Fiber-Infused Volumising MousseMorphe / LOOKFANTASTIC

Or, if you lack a little volume, we recommend the Morphe Brow Tease Fiber-Infused Volumising Mousse. It visibly thickens and volumises your brows in literal SECONDS. With one swipe, you're ready to go. It's been infused with bamboo fibres, veggie wax and coffee seed oil to add texture and condition your brow hair. Thanks to the unique brush, the application is a DREAM. You won't be let down by the hold, either - it's said to be buildable and non-sticky...

With a 4.3 average star rating at LOOKFANTASTIC, this Moprhe Brow Mousse is well-liked by customers for its value for money and long-lasting hold. Many users love how affordable this mousse is and how it adds depth and volume. Morphe is a reliable brand for a brow tint, and it's long-lasting and effective. Brows are said to be fuller-looking brows with good staying power. However, users with thinner brows found it less effective on its own and needed additional products. A few users found the applicator too large, making precise application tricky - it'll take a little practice.

Pros

Best permanent tint kit

Schwarzkopf Brow Tint KitAmazon
Price: $7 (was £8.39)

For professional results at home, the Schwarzkopf Brow Tint Kit has been designed to intensify and define brows. The colour is said to last up to four weeks, which makes it strong stuff. Simply mix together the colour cream and developer lotion, apply with the included brush, and leave for 5-10 minutes. And, then, you're golden. It covers up greys and can be used up to 10 times.

With a 4.4 average on Amazon, the Schwarzkopf Brow Tint Kit is a salon-worthy pick, which is so easy to use (even for newbies) and can last for a whole month. Many found it lasted well as long as you don't use strong facial cleansers in the meantime. It enhances brows without looking overly dramatic, too, which we're here for. It's affordable, with multiple applications per kit. However, some found the brush too rigid (compared to a spoolie or cotton bud) and needs careful application.

Pros

  • Stays vibrant for up to four weeks, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups
  • Effectively tints grey hairs for a uniform, natural-looking brow
  • 10 applications per kit offers nearly a year’s worth of use - saves you money!

Best for brow growth

KOSAS Air Brow Tinted Volumizing Treatment GelKOSAS / Sephora
Price: $19 (was £20)

www.sephora.co.uk

This KOSAS Air Brow Tinted Volumizing Treatment Gel creates airy, feathery, natural-looking brows. Though not a tinting kit, it's a 2-in-1 product with easy application, thanks to the small spoolie brush. It boosts, lifts and evenly coats each hair - keeping brows in place with no flakiness. I love that the ingredients are biodegradable and plant-based, which helps support healthy brow growth and conditions, nourishes, protects and helps brows reach their full potential. Expect shiny, defined brows.

KOSAS is a brand that I personally like, and customers enjoy this day-to-day tint, preferring it to Boy Brow and Benefit's counterparts. Many users love how simple it is to apply, making their makeup routine faster. The KOSOS Tint provides a fuller yet natural-looking brow with great tint and hold. It works well for all-day wear without clumping and has a great variety of shades - even for blondes. Several users with sensitive skin or eczema experienced irritation or breakouts. It'll take a while to master - some users report that it can look overdone and can stain the skin around their brows.

Pros

  • Creates a full, face-framing brow with a soft, feathery finish
  • Keeps brows in place - all day - without feeling stiff or flaky
  • With plant-based fibers and castor oil for healthy brow growth
  • High-pigment formula with a little spoolie for precise application

Cons

  • Do a patch test - may not suit all with sensitive skin
  • It'll take a while to make your brows look correct - trust the process (!)

Eyebrow tinting FAQs

How long does eyebrow tinting last​?

Eyebrow tinting typically lasts for 3 to 6 weeks, with the colour gradually fading over time.

How do I remove eyebrow tint?

If you've used the wrong colour and look a little silly, don't panic. It's a simple fix, thanks to something you'll already have to hand. We recommend gently massaging a clarifying shampoo or a gentle oil like coconut into the brows and then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
