The Best At-Home Eyebrow Tint Kits for Darker, Bolder Brows

This beloved set has everything you need to tint your brows: a tint, a cream activator, a mixing dish, and an angled brush. It even comes with brow growth oil that’ll keep your hair and skin hydrated after tinting. In terms of at-home kits, this option offers fairly long-lasting results—you’ll have darker pigment for three to four weeks. Plus, one purchase affords you up to 12 applications.

Pros: Complete kit; Long-lasting

Cons: Only available in two colors; Takes time to fade if you're unhappy with the result

While all brow tints are technically temporary (your natural color will come back after a few weeks), Hally's Brow Pal was crafted to only last a couple of days. With over 25 applications per bottle and three color options (a black, a brown, and a navy for the true fashionistas), it's a great way to test out a new look—and the sweep-on and leave for 20 minutes application truly could not be easier.

Pros: Short-term option; Easy to use; Formula doesn’t contain harsh chemicals

Cons: Doesn't last as long as other options, if a long-term tint is the goal

With a powder and a conditioning developer, this kit is ideal for anyone new to the brow tinting game. There are four colors to choose from, and you can customize the intensity depending on how much product you put in the pan and how long you let it sit. The kit comes with a spoolie for application—which is okay to use—but you may want to consider an angled eyebrow brush to get an even application.

Pros: Affordable; Beginner friendly

Cons: Angled eyebrow brush not included

Oftentimes, harsh chemicals can be found in box dye kits. Not in this one. It boasts a non-toxic formula, free of hydrogen peroxide and synthetic dyes. It's perfect for the brow-obsessed who have sensitive skin. Available in four natural shades, it will tint your brows for up to four to six weeks.

Pros: Non-toxic; Good for sensitive skin; Long-lasting

Cons: Blunt applicator

If you’re not ready to take the tinting plunge, but still want to achieve fuller, thicker brows that resemble a freshly tinted pair, reach for this brow pencil. It draws single hairs that last and will keep brows looking their most natural.

Pros: Hard to mess up; Natural-looking

Cons: Not a tinting kit, just a makeup product

Vincent gives this professional-level formula her stamp of approval. She typically uses this baby in tandem with the brand’s three percent cream activator. Not only is this one specifically formulated for sensitive skin, but the plant-based composition also gives a softer finish than some other tints. When it comes time for removal, you’ll want to wipe the solution off with a damp cotton swab, or use the brand’s special RefectoCil Tint Remover.

Pros: Good for sensitive skin; Professional-approved

Cons: Not as dark as other options

Tempted, but not ready to commit? This tint is the way to go—it’s going to last you a full three days, but not much more. Unlike some of the other tints in this list, this formula doesn’t require you to be an at-home chemist. There’s no mixing involved; just paint it on your brows, let it sit overnight, and peel or wash it off in the a.m. It’s also a fan-favorite, getting an average four out of five stars on Revolve.

Pros: Short-term option; Easy to apply

Cons: Not a good option if you want a long-lasting tint

Because this two-step kit has a silver nitrate-based color, it requires a speedy application. It’s definitely a good idea to line your brows with petroleum jelly so you don’t accidentally stain your skin. That said, the final result is really good, with each application lasting two to three weeks. If you want to keep your brows looking fresh around the clock, you can repeat the tinting process every other week.

Pros: Color lasts a long time

Cons: Dries quickly, so you'll have to work fast

Baebrow's flagship product is Instant Tint!, a gentle, no-mix formula that makes your tinting routine so much easier and a lot less messy. You'll sweep the product onto your brows and leave it for between 10 and 15 minutes. After you wipe the tint off, your results will likely last three to five days and up to one week. If they start to fade, apply again! It doesn't contain paraphenylenediamine (PPD, a common coloring agent found in hair dyes) or hydrogen peroxide, so you're safe to use it as often as you like.

Pros: Gentle; Mess-free; Easy to apply

Cons: Doesn't last as long as other options

A bestseller on Amazon, this Henna-based eyebrow tinting kit has been reviewed by more than 28,000 users. Like a henna tattoo, this formula is going to stain your skin as well as your brow hairs, so make sure you pick a color you feel comfortable with. This kit is especially great for anyone trying to cover gray hairs—the pigment is next level.

Pros: Intense pigment; Lots of shade options

Cons: Fades rather quickly

If this one looks familiar, it's because you've seen the paint-and-peel video tutorials on your social feeds for years. Just fill in your brows with one of the five shades, wait two hours, then gently peel off the film (don't worry; it won't stick to your hair) for a stain of color that fades slowly within a week.

Pros: Easy to use; Fun to peel off

Cons: Limited shade range

What this tint lacks in the fancy, Instagrammable-packaging department, it makes up for with true, salon-level results that last for at least two weeks. Plus, each easy-to-follow kit (available in medium brown, dark brown, and light brown) contains 20 applications, making it shockingly affordable for almost a year's worth of dye.

Pros: Professional-level results; Easy-to-follow instructions

Cons: Slim shade selection

Thrive Causemetics' Instant Brow Fix looks like your typical favorite brow gel, and for the most part it is. The big difference? Its color lasts for over 24 hours, so reapplication throughout the day won't be necessary. Semi-permanent micropigments work to keep this eyebrow gel smudge-proof and sweat-proof, while the product's proprietary formula takes a hint from microblading to tint brow hairs both instantly and over time (thereby visibly diminishing gray hairs).

Pros: Skin-loving ingredients; Available in eight shades (gray and auburn options included)

Cons: Not a long lasting option, if that's what you're going for
