What is eyebrow threading and tinting?

It is a brow appointment that combines mapping, threading and tinting. Your brow shape is mapped to your features, unwanted hair is removed with thread for a clean outline, and a custom-blended tint adds colour and definition to your natural brow hairs.

What is the difference between eyebrow threading and tinting?

Threading shapes: it removes unwanted hairs to create a clean, structured outline. Tinting colours: it darkens the brow hairs you keep so they look fuller and more defined. Together they refine both shape and depth.

How long does eyebrow tinting last?

Brow tint typically lasts around 2–3 weeks. Longevity depends on your skin type, your skincare routine and how closely you follow the aftercare instructions.

Does eyebrow tinting make brows look fuller?

It can. Tint darkens fine, light hairs that are otherwise hard to see, which makes brows look thicker and more defined. It does not create new brow hair.

Does eyebrow threading change the natural brow shape?

Threading refines your natural shape rather than replacing it. Your brows are mapped first, then unwanted hairs are removed to clean up and define the outline. You can discuss how much shaping you want before anything is removed.

Is brow tinting suitable for sparse eyebrows?

Tint can make existing fine or light hairs more visible, so thinner-looking brows often appear fuller. It cannot fill areas with no hair. If you want significantly more fullness, brow makeup or a longer-lasting option such as microblading may suit you better.

Can I choose how dark my brow tint will be?

Yes. The tint is custom-blended to your natural hair colour and skin tone, and your preferred intensity is discussed before it is applied, so the result looks natural rather than drawn on.

How long does the appointment take?

Typically 30–45 minutes, covering mapping, threading and tinting.

Is eyebrow threading better than waxing?

Neither is right for everyone. Threading removes hair in small, controlled sections, which suits detailed brow shaping. MG Makeovers offers both threading and brow waxing, so you can ask which suits your brows at your appointment.

How is brow tinting different from microblading?

Brow tint colours your existing brow hairs and fades over a few weeks. Microblading is a semi-permanent makeup (PMU) technique that uses pigment in the skin to create the appearance of hair strokes, and lasts much longer. They answer different needs.

Can I get threading and tinting before an event?

Yes. Plan your appointment so you can keep your brows completely dry for the first 24 hours afterwards, as the aftercare advises. Your artist can help with timing when you book.

How often should I get my brows threaded?

MG Makeovers recommends a maintenance appointment every 3–4 weeks to keep your shape clean and the colour looking fresh, although it varies with how quickly your brows grow.

Is eyebrow threading and tinting permanent?

No. Threaded hairs grow back and tint gradually fades, so the results are temporary. It is not permanent makeup, and no pigment is implanted into the skin.

Can I get brow lamination instead?

Yes. Brow Lamination is a different temporary service that lifts and sets brow hairs in a chosen direction for a fluffy, brushed-up look, while threading and tinting focuses on shape and colour. Your artist can help you choose at your consultation.

Which brow service is right for me?

For a clean shape with added depth, choose threading and tinting. For lifted, fluffy brows, consider Brow Lamination. For longer-lasting enhancement, explore permanent eyebrow options such as microblading. Your artist can recommend a service after looking at your brows.

The Difference

More Than Threading.
It's Brow Design.

Ordinary threading tidies hair. A brow appointment at MG Makeovers designs the shape first, then threads, tints and finishes it around your face.

01
Mapping
Reading your facial proportions, natural brow structure and hair direction before anything is removed.
02
Precision Threading
Removing unwanted hair to refine the outline, following the mapped shape.
03
Custom Tinting
Adding depth and definition to your natural brow hairs with a tint blended for you.
04
Final Styling
Brushing and finishing the brows so the result feels balanced and polished.

Brow mapping guides · illustration, not a template

Brow Mapping

Your Brows Should Suit Your Face, Not a Template.

Every appointment begins with mapping: measuring and marking out a brow shape around your bone structure and natural features, before a single hair is removed.

The aim is not the same brow on every client. It is a shape that suits you, and two brows that look balanced together, even though no two natural brows are exactly alike.

Your brow design considers

Natural brow shape
Facial proportions
Eye shape
Brow density
Hair direction
Desired finish
Personal preference

Step Two

Precision Threading

Threading uses a fine thread to remove unwanted hairs from the root, working in small, controlled sections along the mapped outline.

It is a precise way to clean up and sculpt the brow while keeping the structure of your natural shape.

Clean Definition
Stray hairs are cleared for a crisp, tidy outline.
Controlled Removal
Hair is removed gradually, so the shape can be refined step by step.
Natural Structure
Your existing brow shape is refined, not replaced.
Balanced, Not Copied
Brows are shaped to look balanced with each other without being forced into identical twins.

Brow Tinting

Add Depth Without Drawing Them In Every Morning.

Brow tint colours the brow hairs themselves, including fine, light hairs that are easy to miss, so brows look darker, fuller and more defined.

Unlike microblading or other PMU, no pigment is implanted into the skin. Tint is temporary and fades gradually over time.

Darkens naturally lighter brow hairs
Makes fine hairs more visible
Creates a fuller-looking brow
Adds definition to your shape
Can reduce the need for daily brow makeup

Your Tint, Blended for You

The shade and intensity are chosen around:

01Your natural brow hair colour
02Your preferred intensity
03Your skin tone and overall look

Tint is temporary and fades gradually. It does not permanently change the skin or create a tattoo-like result.

Best for: Colour + depth

Is It for You?

Is Brow Threading & Tinting Right for You?

It can be a lovely fit if you have, or want:

Sparse-looking brows
Light or fair brow hairs
Wanting more definition
Filling in your brows every day
A polished brow without PMU
Your first professional brow appointment
Preparing for an event
Maintaining a brow shape you already love

Honest Expectations

Tint colours the brow hairs you have, it can't add hair where there is none. Very sparse areas may still need brow makeup, or a different treatment if you want significantly more fullness.

Your artist looks at your brows first and will tell you if Brow Lamination or permanent eyebrows would suit you better.

Longevity

How Long Does Brow Tint Last?

MG Makeovers' current guidance is that brow tint typically lasts around 2–3 weeks. It is never guaranteed, how long colour stays visible varies from person to person.

2–3

weeks, typically · varies

Skin Type
Your skin type can influence how long tint stays visible.
Skincare Routine
Oil-based cleansers and products can break down tint sooner.
Hair Growth
Brow hairs naturally shed and regrow, softening colour and shape.
Aftercare
Protecting the tint in the first 24–48 hours helps it last.

Protect Your Tint

Brow Aftercare

MG Makeovers' current guidance, your artist will confirm it for your appointment.

Keep your brows completely dry for the first 24 hours, avoid washing your face over the brows, heavy sweating at the gym and steam rooms while the tint sets.
Continue to protect the tint through the first 24–48 hours to help the colour stay vibrant.
Avoid oil-based cleansers and oil-based brow makeup, which can break down tint and make it fade sooner.
Follow any specific instructions your artist gives you at your appointment.

Before Your Appointment

Arrive with clean, makeup-free brows. If your skin is very reactive, MG Makeovers recommends a patch test 24 hours before your appointment, ask when you book.

Keeping it fresh: MG Makeovers recommends a maintenance appointment every 3–4 weeks.
