Hey y’all!
So, if you’re an even semi-avid follower of beauty trends on Instagram nowadays, you’ll already know that semi-permanent makeup solutions are all the rage. Every day it feels like you hear of something new — lash lifting, eyelash extensions, microblading, ombre brows, brow laminating, makeup tattooing, lip injections, the list goes on.
These trends have often had my attention since the very beginning, but I’ve yet to really take the leap and try them out as it does seem like a commitment. However, as I begin to get busier with my current job, which requires I look put-together almost daily, the idea of stopping in for an appointment once a month becomes a lot less daunting compared to having to have flawless makeup applied every day.
However, when I finally took the leap it was entirely on a whim — while getting my eyebrows threaded about a month back, my brow lady finished up, and casually suggested that I should give brow tinting a shot — and I did.
This was really unlike me for so many reasons — I’m really not one to take such a permanent approach without fair research and prep, as my appearance is rather important to me. I also have a lot of allergies to non-food items, meaning there was a VERY likely chance I could have reacted negatively to the dye.
Luckily, not only did everything work out — it went amazingly. My brow lady reminded me a little hesitantly that sometimes people freak out about how dark their brows look, but after a day of getting used to it she was sure I would love it. However, it didn’t even take a day. I took one look in the mirror and was immediately sold — and honestly felt a little silly for not taking the leap on semi-permanent makeup for so long. My brows looked FANTASTIC, as if they were naturally perfect, and took an entire step out of my makeup routine going forward before work.
If you’re someone who doesn’t love wearing lots of makeup, or find you constantly are in a rush to get ready, give brow tinting a shot. In terms of semi-permanent brow solutions, it’s a lot cheaper and significantly more low-commitment than many alternative options. (While obviously prices change between salons, this service cost me $15.00). Ultimately, if you don’t love it, it’ll wear off in a couple of weeks — but if you do love it, you’ll be saving all kinds of time and money on daily makeup application.
For those of you, like me, who’ve never given semi-permanent makeup a go, I hope this review of my experience was helpful! Stay tuned for more posts like this — since I’m definitely going to be trying out more of these services in the near future.
Xo,
Meredith

This is such an interesting read! I had given thoughts to semi-permanent makeup. Since it lasts longer, it’s less effort on your part usually. I might give it a go and see whether I like it or not.

I have such dark brows that grow so fast I can’t wait to be able to wax them or something in the perfect way and they stay that way for a long time lol

I’m so jealous, my brows are so much lighter than my hair colour!! It’s certainly still a bit of maintenance but I find it makes my life a lot easier before work and such.

I love having my eyebrows tinted, I think it makes so much difference.
I’d like to go and get the HD brows or similar but I’m worried it might be too much.
Enjoy your new brows 😊

It really does, it makes my life so much easier! I’ve always wanted to try something more permanent but unfortunately my mom had a terrible reaction to microblading and I feel it would go the same for me, so brow tinting is perfect!

I never know what to do with my eyebrows. Eyebrows are important because they frame the face. My mom would never let me do anything permanent so….

Brow tinting or simple brow makeup is a good place to start! There’s a first time for everything, and everyone has to start somewhere!

I love brown tinting, it’s easy, not permanent, and it gives a very natural look.

I’d definitely recommend it! It’s generally quite affordable and quick, and helps give your brows a very natural but complete look for everyday.
