- January Jones
January Jones, the Mad Men actress during the lockdown practiced some self-care routine while she was at home during the cold 19 pandemics. January Jones has ever since been a huge practitioner of relaxing beauty rituals which she even documented and put up on social media. However now, she has decided to try something a bit more experimental which is tinting her eyebrow at home, using pro tips.
January Jones showed the whole process step by step on her Instagram story as she applied a temporary eyebrow dye to give her arches a new tint. “DIY brow dyeing will keep you posted. Sincerely, Groucho,” Jones humorously titled the first picture of her with the tint used on her eyebrows.
Then she posted another selfie in which the dye appeared to be quite darker than before. “Was busy posting and forgot to set a timer. Tell me when,” the actress further stated. In the third and the final picture, the actress finally took up to say, “Like now?” Although the actress said she would share the final results, she did not really show off what the final results would look like yet. Neither did she show the products that she used to dye her brows at home. However, there are plenty of kits that can be found all over the internet as well as recommended by top beauticians.
The whole process is not as hard as it seems. “Tinting your brows at home is surprisingly easy,” states celebrity brow specialist Ramy Gafni, who works with Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, and Rihanna. “The key is to select the correct color and formula,” he adds further.
Gafni’s also gives a superb tip if you want to get the best tinting experience saying: “Choose one that is two to three shades lighter than your eyebrow hair color. But if your brows are completely gray or pale blonde, then go two to three shades darker.” However, if the color ends up being darker than it was expected to be, there are tips and tricks to fix it at home. And those tricks too, are super easy.
“If it’s too dark, shampoo your brows two to three times to speed up the color fade,” Gafni says. “If you feel the color is too light, you can correct it by tinting the brows a darker shade.” Besides this, the actress, January Jones, shares that if you want to color just the brows and not the surrounding area, you need to apply a thin layer of Vaseline around the whole skin. “Then any dye on the skin will wipe away easily,” she comments. But even if you do not have any Vaseline right on you at the moment, you need not worry. “Even if you don’t add a protective layer, the dye will wash off of your skin easily when you shower,” Gafni says.
- Emma Watson
Emma told her secret out to the Huffington Post that she threads and tints her eyebrows to give it some definition and make it look neat and trendy. She says, “I get my eyebrows threaded, I find that that gets the best shape. Because it’s so painful, I pluck as many as I can and then I let them shape them, which works well. And I get my eyelashes tinted so if I’m not working or I have time off, then I can just be natural which is really nice.” It is a great way to make your who look quite nice, isn’t it?
- Rita Ora
Beisdes her statement lips, Rita likes to keep her brows bold and strong and makes sure it is always threaded and tinted. She told in an interview, “I love eyebrows – they structure the face. I was always a big fan of having a little arch, and thick brows. I love the fact that mine are thick and dark with such blonde hair.” She also liked to brush through her brows with mascara to give it a darker look and darker attention.
- Cara Delevigne
A list makeup artist Wendy Rowe says about Cara Delevigne oh so famous thick brows. She clearly puts in work and efforts by threading and tinting her brows in the direct shade. “Brush through a dark brown mascara to give a darker feel. She advices: ‘when creating a strong (or bigger) brow shape, steer clear of powder products that tend to attach to the skin, creating a block colour that looks painted in. Instead, fill it in with a cream-textured product to create a bigger groomed shape that doesn’t look overdone—my favourites are Suqqu Brow Liner, Anastasia Liquid Brow Liner and Tom Ford Brow Sculptor,” says Rowe. So how does she put it on Cara? “Always apply in brush strokes in the same direction the hairs naturally grow. This will have a see-through quality and look more natural as it won’t be heavy or solid.” Did you note it right?
- Lily Collins
Lily’s Audrey Hepburn inspired brows are super popular amongst her fans. She tweezes it every other day and even likes to tint her brows in various shades. She told the Telegraph “I didn’t tell Mum when I plucked my brows for the first time – I thought I looked great. She saw me later and was horrified, worried that they wouldn’t grow back. Luckily, they did, but from then on, I only let one person touch them, who has been shaping them ever since. Recently a makeup artist used a glue stick (applied with a finger) to set my brows. Unlike eyebrow gel, it doesn’t flake off. It does work and washes off easily with warm water.” Well now isn’t that a pretty little secret?
- Reese Witherspoon
Anastasia Soare, eyebrow artist for Reese told the in an interview that you must “treat brow colour like hair colour”. It is exactly how she approached with Reese Witherspoon’s eyebrow. “There is top and undertone to consider. Try on different brow powders in the store and see how your brow shade complements your hair and skin tone,” she explains.
- Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian is a huge fan of trying products on to her skin to give her the best possible look that she absolutely can. She also tints and threads her eyebrows to get the best result. However, she goes for the simpler way, gel. “A great brow gel locks in your look so your face is fresh all day. Moreover, if you style your brows with powder, a bit of gel minimises the matte look that can accompany dry cosmetics” she tells her fans.
- Camilla Belle
Brow guru Brett Freedman, who’s handling the brow department for Camilla’s awesome pair of brows, said in an interview to Beauty High “I brush her brows up and snip the very tips off with a tiny pair of scissors. This helps to ‘de-bulk’ a brow and keeps it looking tidy”. Giving a little tip, he continues, “Be careful not to trim too much” he warns, “you want the brow hair to have enough length to lay naturally. I use a touch of brow gel to keep her brows very pristine with an ‘up and out’ brush up.”
- Jennifer Connelly
Another famous celebrity who has a set of famous eyebrow tells her secrets in an interview to Vogue US and says that her personal approach when it comes to eyebrows is that, “I try and leave them pretty natural. I do a little bit of minimal brow wrangling myself. I get the strays out of the way. The only time I really shaped them was way back when I did A Beautiful Mind. They are pretty straight so it takes a lot of work to get them arched. I think that with anything, you go with what suits you.” However, she has also tinted her brows on many occasions and really likes the approach!
