The Skinny On Eyelash Tinting

Since the introduction of eyelash tinting to the beauty industry many women have become curious but are hesitant to try it because of lack of information regarding the basics of the procedure.

So to help take away hesitations, here is the skinny on lash tinting.

What is it?

Lash tinting is a quick and painless way to enhance the appearance of your eyelashes by making them look longer, fuller and thicker.

How is it done?

The tinting procedure is done by dyeing lashes with the use of natural, chemical-free eyelash tints. These tints are made with herbal and vegetable extracts.

How long does it take to get it done?

The process of dyeing eyelashes only takes up to 15 minutes.

Is vegetable-based dye safe?

Vegetable-based dye is considered a safe tinting liquid. There are no noted side effects regarding the use of it, although it can cause redness and stingy watery eyes when it comes in contact with eyes.

How long does it take before lash tints fade?

Vegetable-based dye is not a permanent coloring agent and can last up to four to six weeks. Although temporary, lash tints do not easily wash out with water. This makes it an ideal procedure for women who are into swimming.

Where are tint services available?

The procedure is offered by estheticians or salon expert personnel. Since the eyes are sensitive and fragile it is only best to have a credible esthetician do it for you.

Can the procedure be done at home, by you?

Lash tinting kits are sold in the market and can be available for home use. But it is not recommended as a do-it-to-yourself procedure because it is difficult to do it with one eye closed. Improper application will only lead to a painful and messy outcome.

What are the benefits?

The benefits are mostly appreciated by women who wear contact lenses and women who have a busy lifestyle. These women find the procedure practical and economical because it saves them time compared to the use of mascaras. And when dyed, tints do not need to be reapplied everyday.

Also, eyelash tinting works well for women who are allergic to conventional cosmetics. They can now enhance their eyes without the risk of skin irritation. Eyelash tinting is a good way to achieve natural healthy beauty. What could be more natrual that ditching the cakey mascara?
