How to: Tint your eyebrows at home

Despite my natural hair colour being quite a dark brown, my body hair has always been very fair. This is a blessing in one way, but for my eyebrows, it's always been a curse. My hair colour at the moment is a deep plummish colour - which doesn't go very well with my blondish eyebrows. They can actually look non-existent! I'm forever having to darken them with eyebrow tints/pencils, you name it.

In my younger years, I stupidly over plucked them into oblivion - resulting with some very poor excuses for eyebrows. My poor little brows never fully recovered and now they really struggle to grow back fully.

With this all in mind, I was wondering how all you girls take care of your eyebrows?

Salon tinting can prove quite expensive when you're having to make regular trips. So, in this post I'm going to explain how I tiny my own eyebrows at home. If you have never tried this, it could be a great idea for you. I've used the Dylash kits before as I just don't feel they work as well as the products I'm currently using.

OK, so what you'll need is:

* Eyelash dye activating solution

* Eyelash Dye (I use 'brown')

* A very thin brush

* A small glass

Step 1:
Pour two drops of Eyelash Activating Solution into your small glass.

Step 2:
Then, add roughly a 2cm length of Eyelash Dye to your solution. This will make the perfect consistency for applying.

Step 3:
Using your brush, mix together the Dye and the Solution.

Step 4:
Using your brush, dip the end into the dye mixture and carefully apply to your eyebrow area. Making sure than you coat all of the hairs. Be very careful with a steady hand and try not to get any on your skin surrounding your eyebrows as this will stain. If you make any mistakes, wipe away with a cotton bud before the dye dries. I usually apply a thick coat to my eyebrows to make sure that I've covered each and every strand of hair.

Step 5:
Leave on for roughly 10minutes until the dye has dried.

Step 6:
Using a cotton pad soaked in eye make-up remover (or a baby wipe - whatever you choose), gently wipe away the remaining dye until your eyebrows are completely clean.

And voila! Home tinted eyebrows!

I hope this post has been helpful for any of you ladies who are wanting to give home tinting a try!
