I personally ended up preferring the light brown shade to the chestnut (my personal “formula” is a pea size squeeze of light brown and a rice size squeeze of graphite). She recommends a pea size squeeze of chestnut and a rice size squeeze of graphite. The chestnut is too warm on its own so the graphite (which is basically black), cools it down. So my biggest tip is don’t stress! It’s much less scary than it seems.Īlso, a word about the dye colors as figuring this out can be a little confusing! I ordered three colors: light brown (I got the kit, be sure to get the kit!), chestnut, and graphite. She also reassured me that a) now is the time to learn, we’re not going anywhere! and b) if you mess up you can put a little dish soap on your brows to fix them if you go too dark.
#Eyebrow shaping and tint how to
My friend Jackie has been tinting her own brows for a couple years now and she told me everything to buy and how to do it. Honestly, I was really scared to do this! But my hair is naturally dark blonde and I have some very light eyebrow hairs so I like to dye them a shade or two darker. The one thing I always do is trim them they get SO long. I’ll always be jealous of my sister Becca who never over plucked hers when we were young and has perfectly shaped brows without needing to do much! I’ve been letting them grow for a long time and still have tiny holes I have to fill in. I first talked about my “eyebrow journey” in 2013 when I first got them professionally shaped and learned where my arch is and then again in 2015. You have to just let them be, for as long as you can (quarantine would be a great time to start!). I get asked how I grew them back in and honestly, the best answer is patience.
#Eyebrow shaping and tint full
These days, I’m definitely of the less is more, as full as possible approach. And I make sure to give them a good tweezing every month or so but am a little traumatized… I had sperm brows in high school and college and consider myself to be still in eyebrow recovery… to this day I have a few little holes that I fear will never grow back! I will start by saying that I don’t pluck my brows all that often. Thank us later.Learning how to tint (and shape) my own brows at home has been on my to-do list for a long time but quarantine has definitely bumped it up on my things to learn list – mine were out of control!
