Tina Davies FADE Eyebrow Pigment Medium Warm Auburn - Soft

In this review of the Tina Davies FADE Eyebrow Pigments in Medium Warm Auburn, the bottom line is simple: this shade is made for artists working with red-haired and strawberry blonde clients who want a natural, warm taupe that still reads reddish-brown. The pigment is designed as a hybrid inorganic formula that fades predictably over 12-24 months, making it a good choice for clients seeking temporary or adjustable brow color. The reviewer found the color payoff rich and true to the warm temperature, while noting retention and water content observations from users that may affect technique and expectations.

Key Features

• Warm medium taupe: Delivers a balanced reddish-brown tone that layers well for clients with strawberry blonde, red, auburn, or medium brown hair.
• Hybrid inorganic formula: Built to fade into a softer version of the original color within 12-24 months, offering flexible color longevity.
• Medium opacity: Provides solid coverage and depth while still allowing subtlety for natural-looking microblading and machine work.
• High pigment load, ready to use: Formulated for immediate use with microblading and machine techniques for consistent color pay-off.
• Safety and compliance: Vegan-friendly, cruelty-free and EU REACH compliant, which supports professional salon standards.

Who It's For

The FADE Medium Warm Auburn is best for professional brow artists and clients who prefer a warm, medium-value pigment that can be used alone or as a warm modifier to adjust cooler shades. It particularly suits Fitzpatrick skin types 1-3 and people with natural red, auburn, strawberry blonde or medium brown hair seeking a softer reddish-brown result.

Artists who need extremely long-term retention or a very dense permanent color may want to test retention carefully or consider a different line, since FADE pigments are formulated to soften over time and some customers report lighter retention and higher water content affecting application style.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• True warm tone that produces natural reddish-brown brows on red-haired clients.
• Hybrid inorganic formulation helps prevent unwanted warm/red fading for truer color over time.
• Ready-to-use, high pigment load works for both microblading and machine techniques.

Cons

• Some users report variable retention and a perceptible water content that can affect the feel and flow during application.
• Designed to fade within 12-24 months, which is a limitation for clients seeking permanent results.
