The inspiration for this post stems from an inquiry I received on twitter the other day: "I didn't know people dyed their eyelashes as an alternative to wearing mascara @Nicole_Alexis please educate me on this one."
It’s true! Eyelash (and brow) tinting is becoming more and more popular these days. I have been tinting lashes and brows for 4 years and have seen it catch on more within the last year or so.
Most people who have their lashes tinted do it to achieve the look of wearing mascara without the fuss of daily application, washing it off at night and smudging. Typically, those with naturally blonde or light brown lashes get them dyed to add drama and the illusion of thickness. Brow tinting is a great option for someone with fine, pale or sparse; adding dimension and depth. Both are great for those with active lifestyles that involve playing sports, swimming or chasing kids.
Lash/brow tinting is temporary. The most common tinting applications involve the application of vegetable-based dyes in order to minimize irritation to the eye and surrounding area.
Typically, the tinting process takes about ten to fifteen minutes and lasts approximately 3-5 weeks. Pricing typically ranges from as little as $15 to as much as $40.
I have performed both lash and brow tinting safely for years. However, neither is approved at this time by the FDA for obvious reasons. Tinting may cause itching, stinging and in rare cases temporary blindness.
My suggestion is to do your research. Ensure the salon is reputable and is not just introducing tinting as a service because that usually means the esthetician is new to the process.
Have you ever gone to reapply mascara after a few hours and ended up breaking your lashes and/or creating a clumping mess? Rejuvelash is the remedy. It is better than a lash comb because it is a wet application.
Rejuvelash is a unique lash exhilarator that uses a blend of natural emulsifying agents in combination with our patented flexible bristle brush to gently eliminate clumps. Herbal hair restoratives are delivered with every application to improve the overall quality of your lashes. At the end of the day you can run a coat of rejuvelash over lashes to revive – you can even add a fresh coat of mascara without worrying about drying out or breaking your lashes!
Bottoms up is the perfect mascara to give you clump-free application to each and every lash. I also tried it out on my top lashes. Bottoms up does not provide a great deal of length, so I would recommend it solely for the bottom lashes (as designed) or if you are looking for that natural, I- have-makeup-on-but-I-don't. It works for me, because I am somewhat of a minimalist when it comes to my own look. Bottoms Up is a flake-free formula with a precision tapered brush that allows you to target the tiniest of lashes and wide-set bristles that separate and evenly coat. The ergonomic component ensures easy application for perfectly defined bottom lashes.
I think both products are great buys, even at regular price.
