Lash and brow tinting is one of the simplest ways to enhance your eyes without daily makeup. At Beauty Tonic in Hastings, we offer a full range of tinting services including lash tint, brow tint, combined tinting packages, brow tidying and the popular Eye Trio. Each service is tailored to your colouring, face shape and natural features so you leave with balanced, natural looking definition.
Tinting deepens the colour of your lashes and brows, adds fullness and makes the eyes appear brighter. It is ideal for clients with fair hair, busy schedules or anyone wanting a polished look without the effort of mascara or brow pencils. If it is your first time having an eye treatment, a patch test and consultation are required at least twenty four hours before your appointment. This ensures your skin reacts safely and gives your therapist time to discuss the best shades and results for you.
Beauty Tonic is based in Hastings and welcomes clients from across Hawke’s Bay who want reliable tinting services performed by an experienced therapist.
An eyebrow tidy keeps the brows looking clean, refined and well shaped. Your therapist will gently remove stray hairs, refine your natural arch and ensure the brows complement your facial structure. A tidy is ideal for maintaining shape between larger brow treatments or for clients who prefer a simple, natural brow.
Price: $25
The service can be performed using waxing or tweezing, depending on your skin type. The aim is to achieve definition while keeping the brows soft and natural.
A lash tint darkens your natural lashes, creating the appearance of more length and volume without mascara. Many clients in Hastings choose lash tinting for convenience, especially if they have fair lashes or find mascara irritating.
Price: $25
Your therapist will choose the right tint shade for your skin tone and eye colour. The tint is applied carefully and left to develop, then removed to reveal darker, more defined lashes. Tinting usually lasts three to four weeks depending on your natural lash cycle.
A brow tint adds colour and fullness to the eyebrows, helping define the shape and fill in lighter or sparse areas. This service gives your brows structure and balance without creating a heavy or overly bold look.
Price: $25
Your therapist will select a shade that matches or enhances your natural brow colour. Brow tinting usually lasts up to three weeks.
This package darkens both the lashes and brows for a balanced, defined look.
Price: $40
The tinting shades are selected to complement each other and match your natural colouring. This service is perfect for clients who want noticeable definition without makeup or those who prefer low maintenance eye grooming. Results last three to four weeks depending on your hair growth cycle.
The Eye Trio is one of the most popular options at Beauty Tonic. It includes a brow tint, brow tidy and lash tint.
Price: $50
This three step treatment enhances the entire eye area. The brows are shaped and tinted for definition, while the lashes are darkened to make the eyes pop. The Eye Trio creates a fresh, lifted, balanced look and works well as a regular maintenance appointment every three to four weeks.
Patch Test and Consultation
A patch test and consultation are required at least twenty four hours before your first eye treatment. This ensures your skin tolerates the tint safely. During the consultation, your therapist will assess your natural lashes and brows, explain the process and help you choose the right tint shade. This step also gives you time to ask questions and understand how to care for your results.
Once you have completed your initial patch test, you will not need to repeat it unless your skin becomes more sensitive, you experience a reaction, or you have a change in health or medication that may affect sensitivity.
What to Expect During Your Tinting Appointment
Your appointment begins with a gentle cleanse of the area to remove oils or makeup. For brow tinting, your therapist will mix a custom shade and apply it carefully to shape and define the brow. For lash tinting, you will relax with your eyes closed while the tint develops. After the tint is removed, your therapist checks symmetry and makes any final adjustments.
The treatments take around twenty to thirty minutes depending on the service chosen. There is no discomfort and no downtime. You can return to normal activities straight away.
