semi permanent brow

A peel-off semi-permanent eyebrow tint is a gel you apply over the brows in your desired shape, let dry, then peel away to reveal tinted hairs and skin beneath. These tints typically last up to about 3 days. To help the color set more firmly, some products recommend allowing the gel to dry for longer periods (up to about 2 hours) before peeling.

Apply the gel to the brows in your chosen shape, coating hairs and the skin you want tinted. Allow the formula to dry fully for the time indicated (shorter for everyday wear, longer for extended wear), then peel the film off—usually beginning at the inner brow—so the tinted color is revealed underneath.

They are formulated as a gel and commonly come with a brush-tip applicator to help apply and shape color evenly across the brows.

For everyday wear, leave the tint to set for at least about 20 minutes. For longer or extended wear, products often recommend allowing the tint to dry for up to about 2 hours before peeling.

A listed ingredient set includes: AQUA / WATER, ALCOHOL DENAT., POLYVINYL ALCOHOL, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, DIHYDROXYACETONE, CETETH-20, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, LAURETH-25, CITRIC ACID, GLYCERIN, DISODIUM EDTA, and SODIUM CITRATE.

Avoiding exfoliating treatments and harsh cleansers helps maintain the tint longer—products note that these actions can reduce how long the color lasts.

They’re intended to fill sparse or thin areas and to define and even-fill eyebrows so they appear fuller and more defined.
