TUTORIAL: How to fake a brow tint (or cover up bleached brows) in two easy steps

Fun fact: You can completely transform your fine, faint eyebrows with nothing but a little pigment and dye.

Sparse, fair hairs can be instantly zhushed up with a tint, making your brows look fuller without looking overdone.

Ahead, find our tried-and-tested, two-step method in action:

What you’ll need:

1. A liquid eyeliner pen

2. A brow gel

How to:

STEP 1: Use the eyeliner pen to colour the individual hairs of your browsStart by backcombing your brow hairs with the eyeliner pen, then filling them in with the grain of your eyebrow hair growth. This will ensure full coverage that still looks natural.

STEP 2: Use the brow gel to brush through your brow hairs and shape themCoating your brows with liquid eyeliner can leave them looking unruly and feeling crusty, so a quick brush through is a must. In addition to making the “tint” look more natural, it also helps to keep the liner in place all day.Tip: Use a lighter-coloured tinted brow gel to create more dimension in your brows and make them look more natural.
