DIY Eyebrow Tinting with Just For Men Mustache Dye
Health + Wellness
Recently, I decided to tint my own eyebrows, and I was really excited and nervous about it, but I have to say, I’m incredibly impressed with the results!
So, if you're looking for a sharper, more defined look to your brows, tinting can be a game-changer. While it's common to associate eyebrow tinting with the salon, you can achieve professional-looking results at home with a little know-how. In this guide, we're going to walk through how to use Just For Men Mustache Dye to tint your eyebrows safely and effectively.
Safety First
Before we dip into the details, it's crucial to address safety. Your eyes and the surrounding skin are delicate, so ensuring you take proper precautions is non-negotiable.
Conduct a Patch Test
Even if you've used a hair dye product before, the skin on your face might react differently. It's essential to perform a small patch test by applying a tiny amount of the dye product behind your ear or onto your inner wrist. Wait 48 hours to see if you experience any signs of irritation such as redness, itching, or swelling.
Protect Your Skin
To protect the surrounding skin from being inadvertently tinted, apply a thin layer of Beautycounter Lotus Cleansing Balm, around the brow area. This simple step can save you from post-tinting cleanup.
Supplies You'll Need
Just For Men Mustache & Beard: Choose a color that closely matches your eyebrow hair.
Lotus Glow Cleansing Balm (this is a clean alternative to Vaseline): To protect your skin from staining.
An Old Towel or T-shirt: To wipe off any excess product.
A Brow or Eyelash Brush: To apply the product evenly (I used an old make-up eyeliner brush).
Cotton Swabs or Pads: For clean-up around the brow area.
A Timer: To track the tinting process.
Steps to Tint Your Eyebrows
Now that you're prepared, it's time to get into the nitty-gritty of tinting your eyebrows. Here are the steps you'll follow:
Step 1: Preparation
Apply the Lotus Cleansing Balm around the brow area.
Put on the old t-shirt or lay the towel over your shoulders to protect your clothing.
Step 2: Mixing the Dye
Squeeze out a dime-sized amount of the dye from the tube onto a mixing surface.
Mix the dye according to the instructions on the Just For Men package. This usually involves stirring the two components until they're fully blended.
Step 3: Applying the Dye
With a brow or eyelash brush, apply the dye to your brows. I use the color taupe for every eyebrow gel or pencil and opted for Light-Medium for color to tint.
Be sure to completely cover the brow hairs with the dye, using gentle upward strokes.
Avoid getting the dye in your eyes. If you do, rinse thoroughly with water.
Step 4: Timing Is Everything
Set a timer for the indicated processing time. This is typically around five minutes for eyebrow dyeing with Just For Men.
Keeping the dye on for too long can result in a shade darker than you'd like, or it may even damage the brow hair.
Step 5: Removing the Dye
Once the timer goes off, wipe away the dye with a moist cotton swab or pad. If needed, re-wet the swab to ensure you're not smearing dye around.
Rinse your brows with warm water to ensure all the dye has been removed.
Step 6: Final Touches
If you notice there are areas where the dye hasn't lifted yet, you can repeat Steps 3-5 with a much shorter time than recommended on the package, usually 30 seconds to a minute.
Once you're satisfied with the even application and color, pat your brows dry and admire your freshly tinted look.
Post-cleanup and Maintenance
After washing off the dye and drying your brows, remove the petroleum jelly or natural oil. You should continue to care for your brows by moisturizing the area, especially if you notice any dryness. Remember, Just For Men dye will fade over time, typically within a couple of weeks, though this can vary based on your skin type and how often you wash your face.
Maintaining your newly tinted brows can be as simple as combing them out with a brow brush each morning. If any spots seem to have lightened more quickly than others, or if you're only looking for a minimal tint, repeating the process with a shorter processing time is safe and manageable. If you want to maintain a consistent tint, redoing the process every two to three weeks should suffice.
My Final Thoughts
Tinting your eyebrows with Just For Men Mustache Dye is a straightforward process that yields noticeable results. Always be cautious with any products near your eyes, but don't shy away from exploring this DIY beauty technique that can enhance your natural features. The subtle, yet impactful change to your face will have you feeling polished and put-together without the hassle of penciling in your eyebrows every day. Enjoy your newfound tinted brows and the confidence that comes with a look that's all your own!
