Elevate your gaze: a guide to eyelash tinting and lifting
Published by Smart Hair on
Your eyes are a focal point of your expression, and achieving a naturally enhanced look without the daily hassle of mascara and curling is a game-changer. In this guide, we’ll take a straightforward approach to the processes, benefits and practicalities of eyelash tinting and lifting, providing you with the insights needed to make an informed decision.
Eyelash tinting
Eyelash tinting involves the application of a semi-permanent dye to your lashes, enhancing their colour and giving the illusion of fuller, darker lashes. The process is quick, usually taking around 30 minutes, and the results can last for several weeks.
The Tinting Process
- Consultation: Before the tinting begins, you’ll have a consultation with our esthetician to discuss your desired look and any potential allergies or sensitivities.
- Choosing the colour: Our esthetician will help you choose a tint colour that complements your natural lashes and skin tone.
- Preparation: Your lower lashes will be protected with a gentle under-eye pad, and you’ll be asked to close your eyes as the tint is carefully applied to your upper lashes.
Aftercare Tips
- Avoid Water Contact: For the first 24 hours after tinting, it’s recommended to avoid water contact to allow the tint to set.
- Gentle Cleansing: Use a gentle, oil-free makeup remover when cleansing your face to prolong the life of the tint.
Eyelash lifting
Eyelash lifting, also known as a lash perm, is a semi-permanent treatment that enhances the curl and lift of your natural lashes. This process provides a beautiful, wide-eyed look without the need for eyelash curlers. This post is sponsored by our partners.
The lifting process
- Consultation: similar to tinting, a consultation precedes the lifting process to determine your desired lift level.
- Preparation: your lower lashes are shielded, and a silicone pad is applied to your eyelid to shape and lift the lashes.
- Perming solution: a perming solution is carefully applied to the lashes, setting the curl.
- Setting solution: a setting solution is then applied to lock in the curl.
Aftercare tips
- Avoid Heat: for the first 24 hours, avoid exposure to steam, heat, or moisture.
- Skip Mascara: while your lifted lashes will provide a naturally defined look, it’s advisable to skip mascara for the first 24 hours to allow the lift to set.
