What is brow & lash tinting?

Brow and lash tinting is a professional service that enhances the appearance of eyebrows and eyelashes by adding temporary color. The goal is a fuller, more defined look with reduced daily makeup needs.

For this tutorial, we’ll use RefectoCil, a professional tint brand manufactured in Austria.

Tools & materials you’ll want ready

RefectoCil tint shade (choose based on desired result)
RefectoCil 3% Oxidant (developer) — cream or liquid
Glass mixing dish
Tint brush and/or mascara wands
Under-eye pads (recommended for lash tinting)
Cotton pads + water for removal

Tip: Working on clean, oil-free hair = more even, longer-lasting results.

Step 1: Clean the brows and lashes

Remove makeup, oils, and residue from the brow/lash area. Clean hair helps the tint apply evenly and last longer.

Pro tip: Many professionals prefer shaping the brows before tinting.

Step 2: Choose the shade

Match the shade to the client’s hair tone and desired intensity. Use a professional consultation and color chart to guide your choice.

Tip: When in doubt, go softer first—you can always deepen on a second session.

Step 3: Mix tint + developer (1:1 ratio)

In a glass mixing dish, combine tint and RefectoCil 3% oxidant in equal parts (50/50). Mix until smooth.

Use a tint brush for clean, controlled application.

Step 4: Protect the surrounding skin

Apply a thin barrier of petroleum jelly around the brows to reduce staining and irritation risk. For lash tinting, place under-eye pads to protect the skin beneath the lashes.

Step 5: Apply the tint evenly

Apply the mixture carefully to brows and/or lashes. For brows, a tint brush gives precision. For lashes, mascara wands can help with controlled placement.

Safety reminder: Avoid direct contact with eyes.

Lash tinting tip: Under-eye pads help prevent staining. If tint touches the skin, remove gently with a damp cotton pad. Avoid strong removers near the eye area.

Step 6: Allow processing time

Let the tint process for approximately 8–10 minutes, or according to manufacturer guidelines. (Processing time may vary by hair type and desired intensity.)

Step 7: Remove the tint

Remove tint gently using damp cotton pads. Ensure all product is removed. If results are lighter than desired, you may repeat the procedure carefully after full removal.

DONE!
