20 Best Eyebrow Tinting Products To Completely Change Your Look

So many of us want darker, fuller-looking eyebrows, but if our options are microblading (ouch!) or visiting the salon for tinting, that’s expensive and time-consuming. This is especially true when doing it at home as a viable option.

But that's where eyebrow tinting comes in. What is eyebrow tinting? Instead of plucking or threading your hairs, tinting doesn't remove any hair, and instead uses semi-permanent vegetable dye to enhance the color, thickness, shape, or all at once.

You don't have to go to the salon and get an expensive treatment though. At-home brow tints exist and they range from dyes to more temporary solutions like brow gel or brow powder (which is basically makeup for your brows). You choose how permanent you want to be, but the result you get is fuller, natural-looking brows (minus the feared Groucho Marx effect!).

Not sure where to start? Get your hands on these 20 great eyebrow tinting products.
