By Gold Cosmetics & Supplies
Regardless of our age, we all feel a bit shaky when doing eyebrow or eyelash tinting, especially if it’s our first time doing it. Also, with the ever-increasing social trends today, chances are that every woman craves more professional eye makeup that can last.
Now, the question is, can we do this without always involving a makeup artist? Find your answer from this article. Here, we will expose all the easiest hacks to a professional eyebrow tinting.
Generally, brow and lash tinting is the process of temporarily dyeing eyelashes to attain mascara looks that can last, without having to apply makeup daily. Of course, this is one of the newest trends in the beauty industry today. Now, most women just dye their eyebrows
In our explanations, we will be using Berrywell Augenblick brand, a Germany-based beauty brand. Also, we recommend this brand because of the quality of their hair dyes which can last up to 6 weeks. With this product, you’d be sure of fuller looks on your eyebrows and lashes.
Now, let’s get started on the process!
#1 rule of the game is never to get started with the tinting process while still having your makeup on. We recommend that you wash your face first for the best experience
Then, lightly brush through your brows to ensure there’s no dirt hanging on them.
**We recommend that you shape your eyebrows before the tinting procedure**
If you are tinting yourself or you work as an esthetician for clients, the next thing to do is, choose the perfect color that best matches your eyebrows or your client’s
Interestingly, Berrywell Augenblick offers seven beautiful tinting colors which you can choose from. They are:
Black #1 color, Blue Black #2 color (Darkest black), Dark Brown 3.0 color (a popular one which is also called mid-brow), Light brown 3.1 colors (perfect for blondes), Graphite 4 color, Chestnut 5.1 color (brownish red) and Blue 2.2 color.
After picking a color, preparing the mixture will be the next step. Pour your choice color into a glass mixing dish and then, add the 3% cream developer into the mixture. Note, we recommend that both the developer and the color should be in equal proportion (50:50) to ensure the best effects Now, kindly mix well using a Brow and Lash tinting brush. Don’t stop until you’ve attained a well-blended mixture. Voila! Your hair dye is ready.
Entering the next step, apply petroleum jelly around your cleaned eyebrows to avoid irritation, especially if you have experienced skin staining. Very important!
Although this part is a bit optional because many people hardly experience staining on their skin. But we recommend that they still use petroleum jelly as it can prevent accidental staining.
Vaseline is highly recommended if you are looking for a safe cream to apply around your eyebrows.
Here’s the real deal – time to apply the mixture! Gently apply the prepared mixture to your eyebrows or eyelashes using a brow & lash tinting brush. This brush is specially designed to help you rub the mixtures evenly on your brows and lashes But if you prefer using a mascara brush or maybe a tinting brush. That’s okay but here’s what you need to know. Mascara brushes are great for eyelashes while tinting brushes are great options for eyebrows. However, if you need both brushes, we recommend Dual Mascara& Tinting Brush. This is a 2 in 1 product, it consists of two brushes. Highly Recommended!
Do Not Forget This! Please do not forget to place the eye pads under the eyelashes when applying. We have two types of eye pads. The first is the “Sticky eye pads” which come with sticky gel and can be easily placed under the lashes. And then, there is the “Non-sticky eye-pad”. This eye pad is usually less expensive and they are quite popular. You’ll have to apply Vaseline to put them under your eyelashes. They can also cover the under-eye skin area. Hence, preventing the mixture from staining your skin. However, should you in any case get stained on your skin? Nothing to worry about. Just get a wet cotton ball and wipe off the stain.
After the 8-10 minutes have elapsed, dip a cotton pad or ball inside water and gently clean your brows and lashes You may wash your face to ensure no paste is still hanging on your brows. The goal is to have the tint come out. If the appeared tint seems too light, you can repeat the procedure for darker tints. Yeah! We are done! Now, one of the amazing benefits of this procedure is that it can last up to six weeks. Also, you can always refresh the procedure whenever the tints start fading, like after three or four weeks.

If you dye your eyelashes too then you can buy the under eye-pads for a safer and cleanser process.
Absolutely, you can mix colors but make sure you keep an eye on proportions. So we know that is 50% - 50% tint and developer, so if you choose to mix, let's say the dark brown and light brown, use 25% dark brown, 25% light brown and 50% developer.
As long as it's 3% - 5% you're good. NOT MORE! (***this can be dangerous as this area is very sensitive) This is why your best choice is to purchase the Berrywell Augenblick 3% developer for optimal results.
