Eyelash tinting has become very popular over the last few years. It is great for anyone who has very light lashes or for everyone during the summer months when you go to the beach or pool and do not want to worry about your mascara running down your cheeks. Lash tinting gives your eyes definition and makes them pop without mascara or other eye makeup.

You definitely want to have your eyelashes tinted by a licensed esthetician for several reasons. First, if the product gets in the eyes, it will sting. A professional can work swiftly and carefully to insure that any contact of the product with the eyes is minimal. Also, a licensed esthetician has access to the best tinting products available. these safe and effective tints are difficult for the average person to acquire.

It is best to apply the product to the lower lashes first, as quickly and as close to the lash line as possible. You do not want any gaps between the lash line and the lashes, so it looks as natural as possible.

When placing the tint onto the upper lashes, it is okay to get a little product on the skin near the lash line. This can look like eyeliner and will last a few days. Really pack the product on the lashes so you do not miss any spots. Again, you want a professional to do this so you get the most natural and even results possible. The tint is the consistency of pudding, so it can be very tricky to work with if you are not used to it.

Now the stain processes for about five to seven minutes. Once the processing time is complete, the stain is gently removed and lashes look amazing.
