Eyebrow tinting

Thanks to Megan Fox, I have the world’s worst eyebrows. When I was in year 8 I absolutely loved her and wanted my eyebrows exactly like hers. For years I’d go to my local eyebrow shop, show a picture of Megan Fox and tell them I want my eyebrows done like hers😂

Fast forward to now and my eyebrows are absolutely fucked. Thin and short as shit. I can grow my eyebrows out for 6 weeks and there’s barely any growth. I’m only 24 and I refuse to live like this. I even struggle to pencil them in properly at this point.

I’ve never had my eyebrows tinted but maybe that would help? I’d like my eyebrows to be a little darker and more prominent so would tinting be the a good route to go down?

Does anyone have any pictures of how their eyebrows look before and after tinting? I’d especially love to see how if looks on black women:) thank you

Definitely try tint and shape. It dyes the little tiny fair hairs left after waxing, so after a few monthly sessions your brows should hopefully get a shape you like.

Hi, I was the exact same. I'm older than you though (40) and not only had naturally thin brows but also over plucked throughout the 00's. I used to get tinting but it didn't really help and looked messy when they tried to give the appearance of there being more.
I got my eyebrows microbladed a few years ago and it's been the best thing I've ever done. They've totally changed my whole face and look so natural (people are usually shocked to find out they're not real). Obv I'd suggest doing your research on who you get to do them. But highly recommend it!

I didn’t even think about microblading! Can I ask how much it cost you? Is it permanent or do you have to go for top ups?

My only concern is that it may look too neat if you get what I mean. Are you happy to share a picture of your eyebrows on the thread (or via PM if you’re okay with that). I absolutely have to do something with my eyebrows by the end of the year because it’s starting to get me down

Tinting eyebrows at home is more or less foolproof. I use Refectocil, and there's also a trend for using Just For Men. But whichever product you use it's all the same process, and if you don't like the result it'll have faded in three or four weeks anyway.

There are some serums for eyebrows similar to Revitalash. They might be worth a shot to encourage regrowth.

Also, I love the Elf brow gel for keeping my eyebrows in place. Makes them look a bit thicker too when I use this and then brush them upwards slightly. Stay in place too.

Rapidbrow and HD tint. Gamechanger. Will take a couple of months but it honestly works!

Thank you guys! I’m going to look into all of the things mentioned. I really appreciate the suggestions🥰

Same as anyone who teenaged in the 90s...

The maybelline paint on tint is good.
