9 Best Eyebrow Tinting Kits in 2024 (Tested & Reviewed)
Ensure it's safe for your eye area
When it comes to using any kind of dye, you want to make sure you’re getting the safest formula with the longest-lasting results—a tall order when every kit on Google claims to be the very best. First things first: Make sure the kit is actually made for eyebrows. As in, don't think you can just sub in your at-home box dye because "hair is hair." Nope. As Malynda Vigliotti of Boom Boom Brow Bar in New York City has told Cosmopolitan, hair dye contains ammonia, which is dangerous for your eyes and the sensitive skin around them. Instead, eyebrow tinting kits tend to be made with natural, vegetable-based formulas.
And a reminder, despite all the eyebrow tinting kits claiming to be safe for your eye area, there is no DIY kit that the FDA deems safe as of 2024 due to potential risks such as eye damage, skin discoloration, and more seriously, blindness. If you'd rather go with a safer alternative, consider opting for a gel peel-off tint like the Maybelline Tinta Sopracciglia Tattoo Brow Peel-Off or a tinted brow gel like Kosas Air Brow Tinted Clean Volumizing Eyebrow Gel.
The fewer steps, the better
Instead of experimenting with a 12-piece tinting kit that makes you feel like a mad scientist, go for the low-stress kits that come with just a dye, an activator, and a few tools for application, or try the peel-off formulas that just require painting over your brows, letting them dry, and then gently peeling off the coating. Or, if you just want to test out some temporary one-day tints, go for a wash-off brow gel or colored brow wax.
