Unsure about the rest of you, but I for one have a love-hate relationship with mascaras. The first is that if you start tearing or get wet in the rain, you end up looking like a creepy vampire. On the other hand, in some cases, the mascara is just not easily removable. However, all this is before eyelash tinting came out. In short, eyelash tints are an easy treatment or product that creates an illusion of using mascara without actually having to use it.
To go in detail, eyelash tinting is a semi-permanent dye for your eyelashes. When you tint your eyelashes, it does not add length, volume or curls to it. It will, however, intensify and darken the strands of your eyelash hair with a semi-permanent dye that is safe to be used around the area of your eye.
When the pigment of your eyelash hair is lighter, you can easily see a more prominent difference when using eyelash tint. However, if you have naturally dark eyelashes, you will not be able to see a huge difference, but there will be light differences. It allows your eyelashes to look much thicker, darker and fuller. Hence, you will still look bomb and would not need to use mascara.
Tinting your eyelashes can be done instantly. How it works is that when the dye is painted on your eyelashes, you will have to keep your eyes closed and wait for about 10 minutes. Overall, the entire process takes about 30 minutes of your time.
As to answer the question on whether or not it is safe, as with every beauty service, you have to do your research and go to on who is a licensed professional who uses high-quality products and who also has years of experience performing the procedure. When it comes to D-I-Y kits, you also ought to do you research and look out for kits that are reputable, FDA-approved and also one that has good reviews. Plus, your eye is the most sensitive and one of the most important area of your body, you would not want to risk infecting it.
You can absolutely in no way use your regular hair dye on your eyelashes. The normal hair dye is too strong that you will definitely risk infecting your eye. Make sure the salon you are going to or the product that you are purchasing uses vegetable dyes that will in no way harm you or your eyes. Also, for those of you who are prone to eye infections and conditions such as swelling of the eye, conjunctivitis or irritation around the eye, it is advised that you stay away from eyelash tinting. This is because there is no guarantee that the dye will not infect your eyes. Another group of people who should also opt out for eyelash tinting are those of you who has had allergic reactions to hair dyes in the past.
There is a slight change that your eyes might sting and the skin around your eyelashes might be a little irritated. However, to tackle that, most salons that you go to flushes the area around your eye with saline when you feel the string. Also, if you are someone who is known for having sensitive skin, you might want to avoid getting your eyelash tinted.
Additionally, for those of you who are used to wearing contact lenses, if you are wondering whether you are allowed to get your eyelash tinted while using your contacts, the answer is yes. It is absolutely safe for you to get your eyelashes tinted and use contacts. However, it is advised that while you are getting your lashes tinted, you need to take your contact lenses out. This is because your contact lenses are able to trap fumes from the adhesive used and that leads to your lenses becoming dry. That will then lead to a skin irritation and make you uncomfortable.
For those of you who have very light eyelashes, then yes. This would definitely do you good as you will be able to see prominent differences compared to when you usually use your mascara. However, even if you have dark and thick eyelashes, when you tint them, your eyelashes appear much longer and lusher. So to answer your question – Yes, it is worth it!
