What Is Eyelash Tinting?

Eyelash tinting is a procedure used to make your lashes appear darker, thicker, and longer without the use of mascara. If your eyelashes are naturally light, eyelash tinting applies a hint of color that darkens them temporarily. This can make thin lashes look more full as well. Results typically last about 4 weeks. 

Benefits of Eyelash Tinting

Eyelash tinting offers many benefits: 

  • Accentuates eyes. Darker lashes help the eyes stand out and look more vibrant. 

  • Lashes are darker. Eyelash tinting temporarily dyes the lashes a darker shade so that they are more visible. 

  • Lashes appear thicker. Tinting the lashes helps thin eyelashes appear thicker and adds even more volume to lashes that are already thick. 

  • Lashes appear longer. Darkening the lashes help them appear longer, which also helps to frame the eyes so that they look bolder and brighter. 

  • No mascara necessary. Tinting eliminates the need to wear mascara. You can stop buying it altogether when you get regular eyelash tinting. 

  • Tint won’t run. Eyelash tint will not run due to moisture the way mascara can. 

  • Plant-based tint. Our tint is a non-toxic plant-based color that is safe for your eyes and lashes. 

The Eyelash Tinting Process

Eyelash tinting is applied using the following steps: 

  • Consultation. The first step is a consultation to determine the shade of tint to be applied that will meet your goals for your lashes. 

  • Preparing the lashes. Next the lashes are cleaned and a gel or pad will be placed under your eyes to prevent the tint from dying your skin. 

  • Applying the tint. The tint is applied and allowed to sit on the lashes for a few minutes while the dye is absorbed. 

  • Removal of excess. Excess tint is removed and the process is complete. Your eyelashes will look noticeably darker with just one application.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eyelash Tinting

How often will I need to get my eyelashes tinted? 

Results typically last about 4 weeks, so you may need to have your lashes retinted once a month. You can typically schedule your eyelash and eyebrow tinting appointments together if you choose to receive both services. 

Is eyelash tinting safe for my eyes? 

The tint is plant-based and non-toxic to prevent irritation. Your eyes will be closed when it is applied, but if it were to get into your eye accidentally, it causes no harm. It can be easily rinsed out with a saline solution. 

Am I a good candidate for eyelash tinting?

Eyelash tinting is most effective for people with light to moderately light eyelashes. If you have dark brown or black lashes, you are not a good candidate for eyelash tinting because the tint can’t darken lashes that are already dark. 

Can I still wear mascara if my eyelashes are tinted? 

You can still wear mascara after having your eyelashes tinted, but the main goal of the procedure is to make it so you don’t need it. If you still feel the need to apply mascara after eyelash tinting, talk to your esthetician about getting a darker shade. 

How long does eyelash tinting take? 

The procedure should take somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes. The darker you want your lashes, the longer the process may take as the dye will need more time to absorb and multiple coats may need to be applied. 

Can I shower after eyelash tinting? 

It is best to wait at least 24 hours before getting your eyelashes wet at all after tinting. This allows the tint to fully absorb before being rinsed out. Your results will last longer if you wait. 

Should I get my lower lashes tinted? 

Some people get their lower lashes tinted and others don’t. It is ultimately up to you so that you can achieve the desired look that you want for your eyes. 

Is eyelash tinting worth it?

Whether or not eyelash tinting is worth it is up to you. Do you value the concept of taking less time to get ready in the morning or before going out? Does the cost of eyelash tinting help you save money by avoiding purchasing expensive cosmetics? Are you tired of mascara running when swimming or working out? For many people eyelash tinting is worth it for these and other reasons.
