Step-by-Step: How to Tint Your Brows Safely at Home
Step 1 — Cleanse the brows thoroughly
Tint works best on clean, fresh brows. Use a gentle cleanser or exfoliant like the London Brow Scrub to remove oils and dead skin.
This ensures even colour and longer-lasting results.
Step 2 — Brush brows into shape
Use a spoolie to brush brows upward and outward. This helps you see your natural shape and apply tint more accurately.
Step 3 — Apply barrier cream (optional but recommended)
Place a thin layer around the brows to prevent tint from staining the skin.
Step 4 — Mix your tint
Using a small mixing dish:
-
Add 1 part London Brow Tint
-
Mix with 1.5–2 parts London Brow Developer
-
Combine until creamy and smooth
Top tip: A thicker consistency = more control and less mess.
Step 5 — Apply the tint carefully
Using a small brush, apply the tint in the direction of hair growth.
Start light — you can always deepen the colour with a second layer.
Focus on:
-
Sparse areas
-
Arch definition
-
Tail precision
For ombré brows: Apply to the tail first, then the front for the final 1–2 minutes.
Step 6 — Processing time
Let the tint develop for 3–10 minutes depending on:
-
Desired intensity
-
Natural hair colour
-
Formula instructions
Always do a patch test 24–48 hours beforehand.
Step 7 — Remove the tint
Use a damp cotton pad to gently wipe away the tint.
Avoid scrubbing — this disrupts the stain and brow hairs.
Step 8 — Brush & style
Once removed, brush brows into shape and admire your perfectly tinted look.
Aftercare Tips for Longer-Lasting Tint
To extend your brow tint results:
-
Avoid hot showers, steam, and brow makeup for 24 hours
-
Skip oil-based products around the brows
-
Use a gentle cleanser
-
Brush brows daily with a spoolie
For maintaining brow health and shine, use a nourishing serum like:
