Most of us wear mascara all the time. With your busy life you just  might start thinking that if my
eyelashes were tinted you wouldn’t have to bother applying mascara, saving time in the
morning getting ready.

 

 

It’s a done at your salon by a well-trained and highly experienced esthetician who has trained to
do it. You sit back, they place cotton pads under each eye as to keep the dye off your skin. They
apply the dye to your lashes, wait about 15 minutes or so and your lashes are now dyed.  If you
wear contacts you will want to remove them before having lash tinting done. If done correctly
you shouldn’t feel any stinging.

 

There are problems that could come up if you tried it at home, but there are kits for doing it at
home.

 

Eyelash tinting takes a special type dye, you just can’t use hair dye like the type that you would
use in coloring your hair. In fact the FDA prohibits the use of hair dyes for use as an eyelash tint
or for tinting your brows.

Did you know that the FDA requires that all hair-dye products including eyelash tinting come
with instructions on how to perform patch tests before use just to be sure you do not have an
allergic reaction.

 

 The health hazards about lash tinting ingredients has been known for over 60 years.

 

What would be the allergic reactions? The allergic reaction to dye formulation could cause
swelling, inflammation and possible lead to eye infections. Which is why it is very important that
it be done by a professional.

 

 

 

If you are super busy, someone plays sports, swimmer etc eyelash tints might be something
you could look into. Without having mascara smudges is a good idea. Also its not
recommended that you wear water-proof mascara all the time due to the damage it can use
trying to remove it each night.

Also if you are sensitive to eye makeup, lash tinting by be a good idea. Always be sure to
patch test before even thinking about having it done if you are sensitive to makeup overall.
 

 

Cost factor: Eyelash dyeing costs around $25 to $75 dollars depending. If you see it for less,
be careful, it might be someone who is newly trained and just trying to bring in business
doesn’t mean she knows what she is doing.

 

 Eyelash tinting is not permanent so if you see that, that is misleading. It’s really
semi-permanent and lasts as long as your lashes do. The life style of your lashes is about 4 to
5 weeks which is why there is no way it should be called permanent makeup.
 

 

The best thing you should do it research for yourself about the benefits and risks and see if its
really something right for you. This article is by no means s always it best to speak with your
skincare professional to be sure you  are using the correct products.

 

These are just guidelines and its up to you to find out what is best for your eyelashes.
