How to Make Your Own Natural DIY Eyebrow Tint (4 Steps)
Makeup trends have changed drastically over the past two years due to changes in people’s lifestyles. A report on beauty trends found that people are paying more attention to eye makeup due to the increasing use of masks. Although groomed brows have been popular for quite some time, the report highlights that brow products are still one of the most in-demand products in recent years.
Tinted eyebrow gels have become a staple in every girl’s makeup, as they can provide thin eyebrows with color and volume in just a few strokes. This gives the appearance of full and thick eyebrows, which can help create a more youthful appearance.
Eyebrow products are useful because they can transform sparse eyebrows in an instant. However, if you want a longer-lasting effect, you can try making a DIY eyebrow tint. As highlighted in our previous article on natural mascaras, it can be difficult to find organic makeup with minimal ingredients and no harmful chemicals. And the great thing about making your own makeup product is that you can use cheap and simple ingredients to get the results you want. To make an eyebrow tint yourself, here are the ingredients you need and the steps to follow:
Ingredients and tools
- 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon honey spoolie brush (an old mascara spoolie will do)
- 2 Q tips
- 2 cotton pads
Instructions
- Combine the coffee grounds, cocoa powder, coconut oil and honey until the mixture becomes smooth and thick. Set aside for a few minutes.
- Wipe your eyebrows to ensure they are clean and dry. Then comb them with a spoolie brush.
- Dip the cotton swab into the mixture and use it to apply the product. Start applying the tint from the inner corners of your eyebrows and then move to the outer edge.
- Leave the mixture for half an hour for a light and natural tan. If you want it darker, you will have to leave it longer.
Understanding the key ingredients
Beauty enthusiasts who love natural makeup know how important it is to look through every ingredient. This extra step not only ensures that your DIY product is effective, but also helps you determine whether you are using an ingredient that is good for the environment and safe for your skin.
The very first ingredient you will need for this recipe is cocoa powder, which will serve as a natural coloring for the process. Cocoa powder has a warm, brown tint that makes your eyebrows look thicker and more defined. Moreover, board-certified dermatologist Marisa Garshick explains that cocoa powder is more than just a great temporary diet, as it contains powerful components. For example, it is rich in antioxidants that can help fight damage caused by free radicals. Additionally, this ingredient is also high in fatty acids, which can help moisturize dry skin and hair.
Then, coffee grounds help brighten the effect of the tint. This is especially useful for people with blonde hair, as you will need an eyebrow tint with a lighter shade that matches your hair color. Additionally, coffee grounds can help stimulate the growth of your eyebrows due to their caffeine content.
Another ingredient you need is coconut oil, a well-known remedy for thin hair. This is what dermatologist Michele Green says coconut oil contains antioxidant properties that can strengthen your eyebrows and repair any damage. Additionally, coconut oil can reduce protein loss, which can make your hair stronger and thicker with regular use. Most importantly, Dr. Green emphasizes that this natural product is safe to use around your eyes.
Finally you want some honey. Honey is important because it helps the mixture stick to your eyebrows. As an added bonus, honey is a natural conditioner that can help moisturize your eyebrow hair. This is also another ingredient that can cause your eyebrows to thicken over time.
And there you have it! This simple recipe with natural ingredients gives you a semi-permanent tint that makes your eyebrows look thick and fluffy. It’s an easy, long-term solution to get the luscious brows you’ve always wanted.
