What is Eyelash Tinting?

Eyelash tinting is a cosmetic procedure that makes your natural eyelashes darker by using dyes without the need for mascara. This beauty treatment, which can be done in salons and spas and lasts 15 to 30 minutes, is great for people with busy lives. The effects usually last for 4 to 6 weeks, so it's a low-maintenance choice. Not only does it save time, but it's also great for people who are sensitive to mascara or who live active lives.

In this article, we'll talk about how to get the best eyelash tinting experience, from picking the right shade to taking care of your eyes afterward.

Is eyelash tinting safe?

Yes, eyelash tinting is generally safe when performed by a skilled professional using an approved product. Our Flawless Lashes Keratin Tint is 100% safe for your brows and eyelashes. The process of tinting involves applying a specially formulated dye to enhance lash colour, eliminating the need for mascara.

While allergic reactions are rare, a patch test is advisable to ensure compatibility. Strict adherence to safety protocols, such as using protective eye pads during the procedure, minimises risks. DIY attempts are discouraged due to the potential harm to the eyes. When performed in a reputable salon or spa, eyelash tinting can provide a safe and effective method for achieving darker, more defined lashes with minimal risk, as long as proper precautions are followed.

How long does eyelash tinting last?

Eyelash tinting typically lasts for about 4 to 6 weeks, offering a semi-permanent solution to enhance lash colour.

The longevity of the tint depends on various factors, including the natural growth cycle of lashes and individual care routines.

As lashes naturally shed, the tint gradually fades. To extend the results, avoiding oil-based cleansers and excessive rubbing of the eyes is recommended.

Periodic touch-ups every 4 to 6 weeks help maintain the vibrant look. While eyelash tinting provides a longer-lasting alternative to daily mascara application, individual results may vary based on factors like lifestyle and aftercare practices.

How do I care for my tinted lashes?

A careful care routine is needed to make sure that your newly tinted eyelashes stay bright and long-lasting. Follow these tips to keep your tinted eyelashes looking beautiful and to keep them healthy and shiny.

• Avoid water in the first 24 Hours: Allow the tint to set by steering clear of water contact within the initial day.
• Say no to oil-based cleansers: Prevent accelerated fading by avoiding oil-based cleansers during makeup removal.
• Gentle eye makeup removal: Use a non-oil-based makeup remover for gentle and effective cleansing around the eyes.
• Handle waterproof mascara with caution: Be cautious with waterproof mascara, as its removal process may compromise the longevity of the tint.
• Moisturise with Lash Wizard Eyelash Serum: Maintain lash health and lustre by moisturising with an oil-free lash conditioner.
• Avoid vigorous rubbing: Refrain from vigorous rubbing of the eyes to preserve the integrity of the tint.
• Regularly comb through lashes: Prevent clumping and ensure even tint distribution by regularly combing through lashes with a clean spoolie.

By adopting these aftercare practices, you'll enjoy beautifully tinted lashes that frame your eyes flawlessly.

Can I tint my eyelashes after a lash lift?

Tinting your eyelashes after a lash lift is a common and complementary practice. While both procedures enhance the eyes, they serve different purposes. A lash lift involves curling and lifting the lashes, creating a natural, lifted look. Eyelash tinting, on the other hand, involves colouring the lashes for a darker and more defined appearance. Combining both procedures can yield stunning results, offering a striking and low-maintenance solution to accentuate your eyes.

Our advice is to typically perform these procedures together for enhancement. However, it's essential to consult with a skilled technician to ensure compatibility and assess individual needs. When done sequentially, a lash lift followed by tinting provides a harmonious and long-lasting effect, resulting in beautifully lifted and tinted lashes.
