Getting your brows and lashes to match red, copper, or auburn hair tones can be frustrating. Most tints come out too brown, too dark, or too ashy—leaving redheads with results that don’t blend. RefectoCil Red Tint is one of the few options designed for warm-toned hair, delivering rich colour that stays vibrant without looking artificial. This guide explains exactly how to use it, what you’ll need, and how to apply it safely at home—for bold, defined brows and lashes that don’t rely on heavy makeup.

Why RefectoCil Red Tint Is Perfect for Red and Auburn Hair

• Formulated for warmth: The tint enhances natural red undertones instead of muting them, avoiding that dull, over-dark look many black or brown tints cause.
• More consistent than henna: Unlike henna eyebrow dye, which can fade unevenly or stain unpredictably, RefectoCil Red Tint gives smoother, more reliable results.
• Natural-looking finish: It’s widely regarded as one of the best red tints for eyebrows and eyelashes, with colour payoff that complements, not overwhelms.
• Semi-permanent and blendable: The shade lasts weeks and fades gradually, blending seamlessly with auburn or copper hair colours.

What to Have Ready Before You Start

Before using any at-home eyelash tint or eyebrow dye, make sure your skin is clean and makeup-free. Here’s what you’ll need:

Essentials:

• RefectoCil Red Tint
• RefectoCil Oxidant (liquid or cream)
• Tinting dish and angled brush or mascara wand
• Petroleum jelly to protect the surrounding skin
• Cotton pads and a timer

Important:

• Always do a patch test 24 hours in advance, even if you’ve used the product before. Skin sensitivity can change over time.

How to Apply RefectoCil Red Tint at Home?

1. Cleanse the brow and lash area using an oil-free cleanser.
2. Protect the skin around your brows and eyes with petroleum jelly to avoid staining.
3. Mix the tint: Combine 1cm of RefectoCil Red Tint with 10 drops of oxidant in your dish. Stir well.
4. Apply:
   • For brows: Use an angled brush to apply evenly through the hairs.
   • For lashes: Use a clean wand, and keep eyes closed at all times during application.
5. Wait 10–15 minutes, depending on how intense you want the colour.
6. Remove carefully with damp cotton pads, and gently pat dry.

This tinting process is ideal for beginners and a great way to safely tint lashes and brows at home without needing salon experience.

How Long Does the Colour Last?

• Lasts 5–6 weeks on average, depending on skin type, skincare routine, and sun exposure.
• Oily skin types or those using exfoliants may notice slightly faster fading.
• Safe for reapplication every 4–6 weeks, as long as the skin shows no signs of sensitivity.
• To maintain results: 
  • Avoid oil-based cleansers near brows/lashes
  • Minimise friction or over-cleansing in the tinted areas

The tint is long-lasting yet gentle, making it one of the most popular semi-permanent red eyebrow dyes available for home use.

Who Should Use It – And How to Apply It Safely

Best for:

• People with ginger, auburn, or copper hair tones seeking a natural match
• Anyone with faded or pale lashes/brows who wants definition without mascara or brow pencils
• Those switching from henna tint for eyebrows and lashes, preferring more consistent results

Safe use tips:

• Apply petroleum jelly generously around the eyes and brows
• For lashes, always use protective eye pads and keep eyes completely shut
• Never tint directly after waxing, plucking, or threading—give skin 24 hours to recover

Pro Tips for Better At-Home Results

• Wait 24 hours after shaping brows before applying tint
• Avoid exfoliants or scrubs around the brow/lash area for at least a day
• Blend brows with a spoolie after applying the tint to distribute colour evenly
• Protect the lower lash line using pads or tissues to avoid staining the skin
• Store in a cool, dry place and keep the cap tightly sealed between uses
• For extra lift, pair your lash tint with a gentle lash curl after the colour has set
