Could I tint my own eyebrows. Is it a risk

That's it really.

Which tint would you recommend so I don't look like I have catapillars stuck on my face

I see eylure has lash tint too.

I may get that too.

I've struggled with this, makes my eyes run but that could just be me

I've used that in the past too. No issues with it at all, I just slightly prefer the Schwarkopf one, but it's just personal preference.

Worst case, cover up with a bit of concealer.

Just realised you said lash dye, duh. I personally wouldn't recommend that. I've tried it a few times and it has never ended well. Usually end up with dye in my eye at the least.

alcquestion · 15/04/2023 21:32

Yes. It's very easy! Dylure.

LighterNights · 15/04/2023 21:33

I've done it every month for the past 6 years or so. Super easy.

Ponderingwindow · 15/04/2023 21:36

It’s ridiculously easy. You just have to be sure to buy eyebrow specific dye and a jar of petroleum jelly to avoid getting anything on the wrong spots.

I never tried doing my eyelashes even though the dye I used claimed to work for that as well. Just didn’t see how I could diy that.

my eyebrows and lashes are cornsilk colored and not actually visible so I dyed my brows weekly for years.

I can’t recommend a brand because I can’t do it anymore due to adult onset allergies.

TempName247 · 15/04/2023 21:37

It’s easy to do but you must patch test even if you have used the dye before as it’s really common to develop allergies with repeated use and being near your eyes you need to be careful - dab some on your wrist or behind your ear and leave for 24 hours.

RunningFromInsanity · 15/04/2023 21:38

I use eyelure. Don’t even bother with Vaseline.
I leave for about 4 minutes, wipe off and if I want it darker put some more on.
Easy.

crazyaboutcats · 15/04/2023 21:38

I do mine. The only issue I had is when I bought a super fast working version by mistake

I’m allergic to dyes too but have recently found a ppd free hair dye I am going to try when I get round to it.

Use Just for Men beard and moustache dye. Honestly far better than brow dye

TheMindfulMum · 15/04/2023 21:42

Can this Dybrow be used on skin - where very little/no brow hair exists? Is it a skin tint?

shivawn · 15/04/2023 21:43

I've been doing mine with Just for Men beard dye for years after seeing it on YouTube. So quick and easy, takes minutes.

Eyesopenwideawake · 15/04/2023 21:44

I've used Eylure for years, really easy. Comb it on, have lunch, sponge it off. Job done for 4/6 weeks.

Lockdownmummy · 15/04/2023 21:44

Agreed on the just for men beard dye.

Super easy and quick. Use it with a small eyeshadow brush.

PinkArt · 15/04/2023 21:47

Another vote for the Just For Men beard dye. I used the use Eyelure - both very easy to use it the JFM works out much cheaper.

It comes off the skin pretty quickly.

Murphs1 · 15/04/2023 21:51

Used to get mine waxed and tinted at a well known brow bar and it cost ££. Now use eyelure and save myself £10 every time. It’s so easy. Swipe it on, I leave for 5 mins and wipe off.

KeyWorker · 15/04/2023 21:55

It’s fine. I used the Eylure one for years but have recently switched to the Schwarzkopf eyebrow tint which I feel gives me a deeper colour.

Slimjimtobe · 15/04/2023 21:57

Just for Men works brilliantly but I also love the brand Godefroy

Slimjimtobe · 15/04/2023 21:59

This is great (it’s just that Just for Men works out cheaper)

Could I tint my own eyebrows. Is it a risk
IcanandIwill · 15/04/2023 22:00

Go for it!

I use eyelure on lashes and brows. So easy.

If you're going to do it then absolutely do this. Don't be tempted to skip it.

What colour are your eyebrows naturally? I know a couple of people who dye theirs and tbh it looks ridiculously fake but they have naturally light brows I think.

ClaraBourne · 15/04/2023 22:08

Agree with the beard dye, quick, easy and last longer. Be sure to wipe the excess off.

Bournetilly · 15/04/2023 22:09

Schwarzkopf Brow Tint, it’s so easy

Really crap reviews for eyelure lash tint on boots website anyway. So will avoid their lash tint. Any recommendations for alternatives??
