3 Ways to Make Eyebrow Tint at Home
Eyebrows can frame your face and highlight your facial features, but not everyone is born with perfect brows. Whether they’re too sparse, light, or unruly, eyebrow tinting can give them new life and put a little extra pep in your step. Luckily, you don’t have to go to the salon for professional-grade results. Here are three ways to make eyebrow tint at home for natural-looking, fuller brows.
1. Using Coffee Grounds and Cocoa Powder
Ingredients:
– 2 tbsp of used coffee grounds
– 1 tsp of unsweetened cocoa powder
– 2 tsp of coconut oil
– 1 tsp of honey (optional)
Instructions:
1. Combine the coffee grounds and cocoa powder in a bowl.
2. Add the coconut oil and honey (if using) to the mixture.
3. Mix well until you have a smooth paste.
4. Take a thin brush and apply the mixture to your eyebrows, following their natural shape.
5. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes (or less if you desire a lighter shade).
6. Wipe off gently with a wet cotton ball or tissue.
7. Repeat once every two weeks or as needed.
2. Using Henna Powder
Ingredients:
– Henna powder (choose a shade that matches your natural hair color)
– Lukewarm water
Instructions:
1. In a non-metal container, mix henna powder with enough lukewarm water to form a thick paste.
2. Cover the container with plastic wrap and let it sit for about an hour (this allows the henna dye to release).
3. Apply petroleum jelly or coconut oil around your brows to protect your skin from staining.
4. Using an angled brush, apply the henna paste on your eyebrows, following their natural shape.
5. Let it sit for about 30-45 minutes.
6. Remove the henna gently with warm water and a cotton ball.
7. Repeat after four weeks or as needed.
3. Using Food Coloring
Ingredients:
– Food coloring (select a shade similar to your natural hair color)
– Petroleum jelly or coconut oil
– 1 tsp of white vinegar
– Cotton balls and makeup remover
Instructions:
1. Combine a few drops of food coloring with 1 tsp of white vinegar in a non-metal container.
2. Protect the skin around your eyebrows by applying petroleum jelly or coconut oil.
3. With a thin brush, carefully apply the tint to your eyebrows, following their natural shape.
4. Allow the tint to sit for about 10-15 minutes.
5. Remove any excess tint from your skin using cotton balls soaked in makeup remover.
6. Rinse the tint off with lukewarm water.
7. Repeat every three weeks or as needed.
