How to Tint Eyebrows: A Step-by-Step Guide

Perfectly tinted eyebrows can completely transform your client's face, creating fuller-looking, more defined brows without the need for daily makeup. Whether you're a professional brow technician or just starting out, using high-quality products and following the correct process is key to achieving beautiful, long-lasting results.

At Phatlash, we stock the trusted RefectoCil eyebrow tint range, offering professional-quality results in a variety of natural shades.

What You'll Need

Before you begin, make sure you have:

• RefectoCil Eyebrow Tint
• RefectoCil Oxidant Liquid or Oxidant Cream
• Tint mixing dish
• Tint brush or applicator
• Cotton pads
• Damp cotton pads or water for removal
• Petroleum jelly or barrier cream (optional)

Step 1: Choose the Right Shade

Selecting the correct tint colour is important for creating a natural finish.

At Phatlash, we stock:

• Light – Perfect for very fair brows or subtle enhancement.
• Brown – A versatile medium brown suitable for many brunettes.
• Natural Brown – A softer brown that creates a natural everyday look.
• Black – Ideal for clients wanting bold, defined brows.
• Blue Black – The darkest option, adding extra depth and intensity.

When choosing a shade, always consider your client's natural hair colour, skin tone and desired result.

Step 2: Mix the Tint

RefectoCil tints are simple to prepare.

Mix the eyebrow tint with either the RefectoCil Oxidant Liquid or RefectoCil Oxidant Cream using a 50:50 ratio until you achieve a smooth, even consistency.

Using the correct mixing ratio ensures the tint develops properly and provides consistent, long-lasting colour.

Step 3: Apply the Tint

Ensure the eyebrows are clean and free from oils, makeup or skincare products.

If desired, apply a small amount of barrier cream around the brows to help prevent staining the surrounding skin.

Using a tint brush or applicator:

• Apply the tint evenly through both eyebrows.
• Ensure every brow hair is fully coated.
• Work carefully to create your desired brow shape and definition.

Take your time during application, as neat placement helps achieve crisp, professional results.

Step 4: Leave to Develop

Allow the tint to develop for 10 minutes.

This gives the colour enough time to fully process, leaving brows looking richer and more defined.

Step 5: Remove the Tint

Once the 10-minute development time is complete, gently remove the tint using a damp cotton pad.

Continue wiping until all product has been removed from the brows.

The result should be beautifully defined eyebrows with enhanced colour and improved definition.

Brow Tint Aftercare

To help your eyebrow tint last as long as possible:

• Avoid getting the brows wet for the first 24 hours where possible.
• Avoid oil-based cleansers directly on the brow area.
• Refrain from excessive rubbing or exfoliating around the brows.
• Use gentle skincare products around the treated area.

With proper aftercare, clients can enjoy beautifully tinted brows for several weeks.
