Eyebrow tinting has become one of the fastest-growing beauty segments, driven by trends in brow lamination, natural-looking fullness, and at-home brow kits. For brands, this opens a major opportunity: brow tinting tools and shaping kits have extremely high-margin potential and strong repeat purchase behavior.
This article breaks down how professional brow tinting tools are made, what materials matter, what kits consumers expect, and how factories help brands develop a high-performance brow-tinting line.
1. What Tools Are Needed for Brow Tinting and Shaping?
A complete brow tinting kit typically includes:
Spoolie brushes
Brow mapping pencils
Microbrush applicators
Tint mixing bowl
Tint applicator brush
Protective under-brow pads
Brow razor
Cotton swabs
Measurement rulers (brow mapping rulers)
Brow tint cream/gels (OEM cosmetic side)
Factories must ensure each tool is cosmetic-safe, durable, and beginner-friendly.
2. Material Engineering Behind Brow Tint Tools
¢Ù Microbrush Applicators
Tip materials: PBT fiber, microfiber, flocked nylon
Stem materials: ABS, PP
Bendable wire for angled application
Tip absorbency control for precise product pickup
Premium microbrushes must have:
no shedding
anti-droplet design
non-absorbent fibers
¢Ú Brow Tint Brushes
High-precision flat or angled brushes used to apply tint:
Fiber: PBT nano-fiber (0.05¨C0.07 denier)
Ferrule: Aluminum or copper
Handle: ABS/PETG/bamboo
Glue: Cosmetic-grade epoxy (waterproof)
The fiber must stay firm enough to create sharp lines but soft enough to avoid skin scratching.
¢Û Brow Mapping Rulers
Materials: PET, acrylic, or biodegradable PLA.
Precision requirement: ¡Ü0.5 mm deviation in printed measurement.
¢Ü Tint Bowls
Heat-resistant polypropylene or silicone, requiring:
chemical resistance
stain resistance
non-slip base
3. The Factory Process for Tint Tool Production
¢Ù Fiber Preparation
Antibacterial treatment, diameter sorting, static alignment.
¢Ú Ferrule Assembly (Brushes)
Adhesive selection is crucial: must resist tint chemicals without yellowing.
¢Û Microbrush Head Manufacturing
High-speed flocking machines ensure even density.
¢Ü Injection Molding (Handles, Bowls, Tools)
Mold temperature 180¨C230¡ãC depending on material.
¢Ý Printing & Branding
UV printing for rulers, hot foil for premium kits.
¢Þ Sterilization & Sealing
Finished kits sealed in hygienic rooms.
4. QC Testing Standards for Brow Tint Tools
Tool QC Standards
Microbrush No shedding after 50 strokes
Tint Brush Ferrule pass 1 kg pull test
Ruler Measurement accuracy ¡Ü0.5 mm
Tint Bowl Solvent resistance for 24 hrs
Mapping Pencil Sharpening test 10 cycles
Razor Sharpness 27¨C30¡ã edge angle
5. OEM/ODM Kit Development
Factories can create complete kits:
Beginner brow tint kit
Professional brow lamination kit
Brow mapping & shaping kit
Brow salon starter kit
Brow tint + tweezer + razor combo
Vegan fiber brow brush kits
Eco-friendly bamboo tool kits
MOQ for full kits: 300¨C2,000 sets.
6. What Buyers Should Ask Factories Before Ordering
? Fiber density & softness levels
? Chemical resistance test reports
? Ferrule and glue type
? Antibacterial certification
? Packaging options (retail / e-commerce)
? Shelf-life for cosmetic components
? Sample customization capability
Conclusion
Brow tinting tools rely on strict material specifications and careful manufacturing. For beauty brands, selecting a factory with proven expertise in fiber engineering, chemical-resistant materials, and professional kit assembly is the key to producing safe, high-performance brow tinting products that build trust and repeat sales.
