What is Eyelash Tinting?

Dyeing Your Eyelashes? Why? What is Eyelash Tinting all about?
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.

But is eyelash tinting such a great idea after all?

Let’s start with, just what is eyelash tinting?
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 have been known about 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. This is why it is very important that it be done by a professional.

Do the benefits having your lashes tinted out way the risks?
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 it is 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 it’s up to you to find out what is best for your eyelashes.

Who doesn’t love a good smoky look?
Step one: Blend a plum shade along the across lids.. Try Prince by Overall Beauty Minerals. Smudge it all the way to the crease.
This works as your eyeliner as well as your base for the other eye shadows you will be using to stick to.

Step two: Dust Lavender over the liner keeping focus at the center and inner corners of your eyes. This way you are adding contract and the last thing you want is your eyes looking flat.

Apply with a makeup brush then press the color on your eye lids so to be sure you have added lots of color. If Lavender seems too light for you, apply Princess instead. its a few shades lighter than Prince but they really work well together.

Blend each color together at the crease by taking your makeup brush from the outer part of your lid towards to your nose. The last you want to do is go back and forth, all that does is smudge everything together and the look is lost.
Apply Lavender under your eye brows to really open the whole eye area.. If you rather use a white try Snow or White Sparkle to brighten and really give your eyes that party look!
