All About: Eyelash & Eyebrow Tinting

For a naturally effortless look - perfect for making every day easier, wearing less makeup, darkening and framing features and holidays!

Tinting is basically like getting your roots touched up. The dye intensifies your natural lashes and brows by darkening them and in return adding definition to the eyes.

The tint is similar to what you use on your hair - except its specifically designed and developed to be safe around the delicate eye area. With the whole thing taking no longer than 20 minutes its the perfect quick, low maintenance appointment easily slipped into a lunch break or a quick run out.

Eyelash tinting makes lashes and brows look instantly thicker and fuller, without having to apply several coats of mascara and has the added benefit of lasting 4-8 weeks. By using tint you can also darken the lighter, finer hairs around the brow area to create a more defined shape and fill in gaps in the brows.

The most dramatic results are on those with fairer, lighter lashes and brows - but tinting also adds a glossy, smoother colour finish suitable for everyone looking for clean, dark results.

What To Expect During Treatment

You will need a patch test at least 24 hours before your first appointment to check for any reactions to products.

During the treatment you are laid on the beauty couch and for lash tinting will need to have your eyes closed for around 15 minutes.

We start by discussing desired results and thoroughly cleaning the eye area to remove makeup and oils.

The tint and developer is then mixed to the desired colour and applied to lashes/brows and left for a set time to develop. For brows this could be up to 5 minutes, for lashes up to 15 minutes.

Once development is complete, the tint is removed with damp cotton wool and the treatment is complete!
With brows you can then follow with a wax if desired to tidy and add further definition. Maintain with caster oil applied to lashes/brows to nourish and keep hydrated.

FAQ’s

Will I get ‘roots'‘?

No! Your lashes and brows naturally grow out in cycles of around 4-8 weeks depending on your hair growth so the tint will gradually fade rather than grow out like your hair.

What colour should I have?

All tinting is bespoke and colours are chosen based on skin tone and desired results! There are a range of tint colours and these can be mixed to find your perfect shade.

Can I tint my lashes/brows at home?

Recently there’s been a huge boost of ‘at home tint kits’ and although there’s nothing wrong with these- sometimes colours are standard and without proper knowledge you could end up with some drastically different results than what you’re looking for! After years of training and experience I can help achieve the look you’re after by shaping tint on brows and development times for all round perfect results! If you do use an at home kit - make sure you follow the guidelines for patch testing!

Before & Aftercare

Try to come to your appointment with a clean eye area and no makeup. Avoid fake tanning for 3 days prior as the wax will remove the colour. This ensures the best results at the treatment!

Tinting lasts around 4-6 weeks and is amazingly low maintenance - make sure you have your upkeep appointment booked!

For the first 24-48 hours avoid excessive rubbing or touching of the treated area. Avoid contact with direct sunlight and the use of sunbeds, saunas and steam rooms. Using makeup, including foundation, concealers etc on the waxed skin can irritate and block follicles so best avoided for 24h.

Avoid harsh skincare and sun exposure around tinted areas as it can fade the colour quicker.

Redness and irritation should subside within a day. If you would like to sooth the area, an aloe vera gel can be applied or a clean cool compress/cotton pad.
