Whether you’ve been to the salon and your brows have come out way darker than you’d have liked, or you’ve tinted your brows yourself and they’ve ended up the wrong colour, don’t worry there are multiple ways to easily and effectively remove eyebrow tint.
How long does it take for eyebrow tint to wear off?
Your normal cleansing routine, paired with the natural oils on your face being secreted will help to fade your brow tint in around 5-7 days. But if you can’t wait and need to remove excess eyebrow tint ASAP, then keep on reading for our top tips.
5 ways to easily remove eyebrow tint
1. Use a silicone-based or oil-based makeup remover to erase excess eyebrow tint
One way to remove eyebrow tint is to wipe over your brows with a silicone-based or oil-based makeup remover and a cotton pad. This will help to knock out some of the excess pigment in just a few swipes of the cotton pad.

2. Use a clarifying shampoo to cleanse away eyebrow tint
You can also remove eyebrow tint by cleansing your brows with a clarifying shampoo. Clarifying shampoos work by stripping hair of build-up from natural oils and products, including brow tints. Use a flannel and warm water to work the cleansing shampoo into a lather and massage into your brows. Leave for a few minutes before rinsing and repeating until the brow tint has faded.

3. Use baking soda to cleanse away eyebrow tint
If you don’t have a silicone-based makeup remover or a cleansing shampoo to hand, you could try using an old store cupboard favourite, baking soda. Combine a teaspoon of baking soda with your normal shampoo to form a thick paste. Apply the paste to your brows and massage in, leave the paste on your brows for a few minutes before rinsing clear.
4. Use brow makeup to tone down the intensity of the eyebrow tint
For a super quick fix on-the-go, use mineral makeup, or pressed powder on your brows to dial down the colour of the tint. You could also use a brow gel in a lighter shade to help add some lightness to your brows.
