Brow tint?

My brows are shaped okay but fairly sparse, at the moment I fill them in with a pencil. I'm due my second baby in June and was wondering would a brow tint work on brows that are a bit sparse? There's nothing major gap-wise, they're just fairly fine and not filled out naturally.
Thinking a tint would save me one more bit of make-up in the mornings!!

I have similar eyebrows and use Dyebrow home kit that you can get from Boots and some larger supermarkets.

It does make a difference but I've found it a bit hit and miss as to whether it lasts that long. I leave it on for half an hour though, way longer than recommended. I put a bit of Vaseline around my eyebrows first so that I don't end up with slugs.

It's pretty cheap and one pack lasts ages so I think it could be worth a try to see if it works for you.

I dye my own brows and they look fabulous. The dye captures all the tiny hairs that are almost naked to the eye and the result is very natural but dense eyebrows! Not sure if dense is the right word!

The dye says ten minutes but I leave it in for hours for maximum effect.

However you could be subject to an allergic reaction so adhere to instructions for first use and then see how it turns out and leave longer next time if you see fit.

I mix in a small dish with a cotton bud until it's a thick cream. Then I apply using another cotton bud.

The first time I did it I was amazed at the difference!

Odile sounds amazing! What brand do you use and where do you get it from?

You can get a tint kit from boots a eylure one I reccoment you mix double the liquid with the cream and apply the opposite way to the hair grows apply Vaseline around the outside of the brow so it doesn’t stain skin x

The reviews on the Eyelure kit have said it isn't so good since the formula changed. It uses to be a mix&apply , now its a Step1 then Step 2.

I bought myself Revolution 3 day tint, apply , leave on (I do 2 hours when I'm not going out) and peel off the dry dye.
Works pretty well.

Wunderbrow do one as well, not tried that one .

Refectocil. Buy on amazon. 2-3 minutes and you're done. It's the best.

You've just reminded me need to take off my 'Tattoo brow' by Maybeline - have had it on for two hours and will last until Wednesday!
