Benefits of eyelash tinting

Contraindications to the staining procedure

The list of contraindications to the beauty procedure should be studied first.

You cannot paint eyelashes with special paint if:

• the girl has any diseases of the eyes, mucous membranes, eyelids, otherwise the chemicals in the cosmetic product can only worsen the condition;
• there is an allergy to any component of the coloring substance;

  

• The fair sex has sensitive eyelid skin;
• the girl wears contact lenses, which make her eyes more susceptible to any irritants (in this case, it is not recommended to even resort to salon coloring).

If the procedure has already been carried out, then the entire next day you should refrain from going to the bathhouse, sauna, or swimming pool. It is also advisable not to use oil-based makeup removers for 3 weeks. They quickly wash the dye out of the hairs.

What about eyelash extensions?

Today, eyelash extensions are a very common procedure. And there are many peculiarities regarding how to paint eyelashes with paint for girls who already have false eyelashes. You can paint them, but as a rule there is no need for such a procedure. They are already rich and long, and paint under some circumstances can only spoil all the beauty. The thing is that such eyelashes are applied using a special glue, and therefore if dye gets there, it can damage or completely lose this adhesive base.

Which paint to choose for tinting eyelashes?

Eyelash dyeing at home is successful only if the correct coloring agent for the procedure is chosen. It is especially important to study its composition before purchasing.

It is advisable that the paint does not contain resorcinol, peroxide and ammonia. These substances can cause severe allergies. Unfortunately, most popular manufacturers add them to their products.

You also need to pay attention to the waiting time during the dyeing process. If it exceeds 20 minutes, then the procedure is too long and uncomfortable. It is better to choose quick paints.

Dark-haired girls should always purchase black dye products. If you take a shade that is too light, it may simply be invisible on your hair.

It’s great if you have the opportunity to purchase phytocosmetics with a mild hypoallergenic formula. Such products are more expensive, but they are prepared on a plant basis and do not harm the body.

If, despite contraindications, a girl still decides to dye her eyelashes while wearing lenses, then she needs to choose exclusively low-fat preparations. To make sure that the paint will not cause dangerous reactions, it is recommended to first conduct an allergy test and check how the skin reacts to the product. You can use the composition if a reaction has not occurred within 20 hours.

Eyelash tinting procedure in the salon

Girls and women with blond, light brown or red hair often resort to eyelash tinting.
The staining procedure is not particularly difficult. In the salon, the specialist selects a shade of dye that suits the face. The shade must be in harmony with the color of the skin and hair. Currently, manufacturers offer a fairly wide range of shades: from black and graphite to brown and gray. The paint used is designed specifically for eyelashes. Please note that hair dyes cannot be used to color eyelashes. Eyelash dyeing is a delicate and painstaking job. The procedure is absolutely painless. A professional master performs it in 10-15 minutes. The specialist places cotton pads or a hypoallergenic adhesive plaster under the eyes so that the paint does not get on the delicate skin. After this, the specialist applies a thick layer of the product to the eyelashes. The eyes are completely closed. You cannot open them during the procedure, as the paint can get on the mucous membrane and severely burn. After a certain time, the paint is washed off, and the eyelashes become brighter, thicker and longer. Before applying paint, you need to protect your skin. For this, as a rule, fatty baby cream and Vaseline are used.

After painting your eyelashes with professional paint, you will never have problems such as running mascara or smudged eyeliner. With colored eyelashes, you won't have to spend extra time on makeup every day. Dyed eyelashes are relevant not only during vacation and on the beach, but also in everyday life. A professional tinting procedure can be a lifesaver in a situation where eyelashes are severely fading, graying and thinning due to age.

The paint stays on the eyelashes for 2-3 weeks, and then begins to fade. Then the staining procedure must be repeated. Recommended frequency of coloring: once a month.

Natural dyes (henna, basma)

Today you can find natural eyelash dyes on sale. They have only one drawback - using such products is somewhat more difficult than chemical compounds and you will have to try hard to achieve the ideal result.

Among plant dyes, the most popular are henna and basma. Both options do not cause allergies and are absolutely safe for the female body. Henna is used to obtain a lighter brown shade, basma - for black. If desired, you can mix both products in different proportions and get unusual, interesting shades.

If natural mixtures are used to color the hairs, then the exposure time on the eyelashes will need to be increased. The procedure may even have to be repeated. But natural dye also strengthens hairs and accelerates their growth.

It is very important to use only fresh basma and/or henna. The latter in its pure form is not suitable for dark-haired, dark-skinned girls, as it gives a noticeable copper tint.

Special paints

Special chemical eyelash dyes are much easier to use than natural ones. The result is excellent with less effort.

The following store-bought products are considered the best:

• Bonahrom (from Schwarzkopf) – has no odor, does not sting the eyes, gives a bright beautiful color, but has only 3 shades in the palette;
• Enigma from ESTEL - with a huge range of colors from emerald to burgundy, suitable even for sensitive skin, but contains ammonia;

  

• Rocolor is a budget paint, with a convenient container for mixing and a brush for application, but with only 2 colors in the palette.

Packages with ready-made products always contain detailed instructions for their use. This greatly simplifies the procedure. In addition to ordinary paints, there are also special laminating compounds on sale today. The substances from their formula fill the voids in the hairs and make the hair look healthier and the color richer.

Regardless of what kind of paint you purchase, you should always carefully study its composition first. The best options will have most natural ingredients: oils, vitamins, plant extracts, wax. But hydrogen peroxide, resorcinol and ammonia can cause not only allergies, but also severe irritation and even swelling of the eyelids.

Selecting a shade

When choosing a shade for your eyelashes, you need to remember that they should be the darkest hairs on your face. Even the eyebrows will be slightly lighter. Experts suggest: ideally, eyelashes are 1-2 shades darker than the hair on your head.

The black palette is not suitable for blondes and light brown girls. It is better for them to turn their attention to products of a gray shade. For red-haired representatives of the fair sex, black is also not suitable, but they can choose brown or dark brown. If the curls are bright, you can even take chestnut or any color with a red tint.

Dark-haired girls are allowed to use different shades of the black palette.

For bright brunettes - even blue-black. But a graphite shade suits gray hair well.

can also help with choosing the right eyelash shade :

• winter: all shades of black and gray (dark) paint;
• spring: brown and dark brown paint;
• summer: purple, gray and black paint;
• autumn: burgundy, black, brown paint.

Today there is a special computer program that, using photos, helps you choose the perfect shade of eyelashes and eyebrows for a girl. It should be used before the coloring procedure.

Is it harmful to dye eyelashes or not?

Although many manufacturers of professional paints claim that their product contains completely natural materials, this is not true. In fact, they all consist of chemicals, and plant components are called vitamin supplements that are included in the paint or come with it. Therefore, even professional dyes for eyelashes and eyebrows are just as harmful as their counterparts for hair. And if applied incorrectly, they can also cause conjunctivitis, skin dermatitis, irritation and excessive eyelash loss.

Is it possible to dye eyelashes and eyebrows for pregnant women? Of course, most salons will not refuse you such a service. However, think for yourself whether it is worth exposing your body, which is already in a stressful situation, to chemicals.

When not to dye eyelashes

There are periods in a woman’s life when it is not recommended to dye any hair. For example, during menstruation. During this period, due to hormonal imbalance in the body, the result of the procedure may differ greatly from the desired one - you may end up with a completely unexpected shade or the paint may not work at all.

If products containing chemicals are used, the procedure is prohibited for women during pregnancy and lactation. This is especially dangerous in the first months of the “interesting situation.”

Harmful components of paint can affect the development of the baby’s brain and vital organs. Even the fumes of the product that the girl will inhale during the procedure are dangerous.

Step-by-step instructions for tinting your own eyelashes

Eyelash dyeing at home is possible even without help. But in the process you need to be extremely careful and make sure that the coloring agent does not get into your eyes. Usually, only the first procedure is the most difficult. The next time you get used to it, the process becomes much easier.

Precautionary measures

When performing the discussed beauty procedure at home, you need to observe the following precautions:

• Be sure to remove the lenses before starting coloring, otherwise the paint may damage them irrevocably;
• you must act extremely carefully and do everything possible to prevent the coloring composition from getting into your eyes;
• if you still cannot avoid trouble, you will need to immediately remove the paint with a cotton swab and rinse your eyes with plenty of clean warm water;
• To protect the skin around the eyes, before the procedure it should be covered with a thick layer of any fatty cream.

  

The allergy test mentioned above is also required. It should be done about a day before the procedure.

Required Tools

The entire dyeing process usually takes 12-15 minutes. The procedure does not require purchasing any rare expensive materials and instruments. The most important thing is to choose a suitable container for mixing coloring compounds. It is better to take a container made of glass or porcelain for this purpose.

Metal bowls are prohibited for use, as this material reacts with paint and as a result the color of the composition may not be the one the girl expects.

You also need to prepare:

• a large mirror (it will help you closely monitor the entire work process and avoid many mistakes);
• paint brush (left over old mascara is good for this purpose, but you can also use regular cotton swabs);

  

• cotton pads (they are needed not only to remove excess paint, but also to protect the lower and upper eyelids);
• scissors (to cut cotton pads);
• rich face cream/vaseline (to lubricate the area around the eyes).

Some eyelash paints also come with everything you need to apply them. For example, a special brush and a mixing container. Such sets are a little more expensive, but very convenient to use.

Preparation of the coloring composition

Natural paints are very easy to dilute or mix with each other. They are first poured with hot water to obtain a homogeneous consistency without lumps, and then carefully combined. The exact proportions for mixing henna and basma are in the table above.

To prevent the appearance of an unsightly greenish tint in the composition, you need to add a pinch of ground coffee or 3-4 drops of strong chamomile infusion to it.

Ready-made store-bought paints are diluted with an oxidizing agent. For example, take 2 drops of peroxide per 2 ml of coloring composition. The latter can be replaced with a hydroperide tablet dissolved in water. The composition is mixed exclusively with a wooden stick.

Eyelash preparation

It is very important to prepare not only the coloring compositions, but also your eyelashes and the areas around them.

To do this you need:

1. Cleanse your eyes and the skin around them with a light, oil-free cleanser.

   

2. Degrease eyelashes with a primer or suitable toner.
3. Comb hairs with a clean brush.
4. Apply a thick layer of cream (oily) or cosmetic Vaseline around the eyes.
5. Cut the cotton pad into two equal parts and place the halves under the eyelashes on top and bottom.

If possible, it is best to ask your loved ones for help with tinting your eyelashes. You won't be able to quickly complete the task on your own.

Applying composition to eyelashes

When the eyelashes and skin around the eyes are prepared, you can dilute the coloring composition and begin the procedure. You need to apply the prepared composition to the hairs. This can be done with a special brush, an old one left over from mascara, or an ordinary cotton swab.

It is more convenient to apply paint from the roots of the eyelashes to the ends (necessarily in a thick layer). All coloring movements must be clear and accurate. The procedure will be the same for both store-bought and natural formulations.

The exposure time of the paint on the eyelashes depends on the chosen product. It is always indicated on the packaging. Thus, the popular product Estelle Enigma takes up to 10 minutes, and Rocolor takes up to 15 minutes. Less common are paints with an exposure time on eyelashes of up to 25 minutes.

Natural remedies will have to be left on the hairs longer. Minimum period – 35-40 minutes. Otherwise, the dye simply won’t take.

Removing Dye

Eyelash dyeing at home is completed by removing the dye. No special means are used for this. Regular warm water is enough.

You can wash your face directly under the tap or using a cotton swab and a bowl of liquid. The procedure must be repeated until clear water begins to flow from the eyelashes. All that remains is to blot your hair with dry cotton swabs and wipe off the paint stains from your face.

We paint in the salon

Did your friend get her eyebrows and eyelashes done in a salon near her home and she really liked the result? Ask for the phone number of the salon or master, her name and make an appointment with her. If you don’t know anyone who has undergone this procedure and no one can recommend anyone to you, rely on your intuition. Come to any salon, look around, choose a specialist you like, and he will carry out the procedure, you will pay, and most likely you will like the result.

Before the procedure begins, the specialist will examine the shape and thickness of your eyebrows. If they are wide, as is fashionable now, but individual hairs grow, they need to be removed as they grow. The specialist will wipe the area with a cotton swab and lotion, disinfect it and apply an anesthetic as the hair grows. Then, carefully pull out the hairs one by one with tweezers as they grow. The eyebrow shape has been corrected. You will have the opportunity to look at yourself in the mirror, if everything suits you, the master will continue.

You may want to make your eyebrows somewhere narrower or with a break or an arch; ask a specialist to pull them out in that area as they grow. He will give them the desired shape that you will be satisfied with. You can apply the product and begin the coloring procedure.

Eyelash care after coloring

After coloring for about 20 hours, you cannot use any cosmetics for the eyes and eyelashes. It is also advisable to avoid swimming in the sea, visiting a bathhouse, sauna, or solarium.

Dyed eyelashes always require special care. At home, you can nourish them with natural oils (even ordinary olive or burdock), as well as any products that contain vitamins A and E.

It is not advisable to treat eyelashes after dyeing with cleansing compounds. For example, scrubs, soap, foam, tonic. You need to cleanse your face carefully, avoiding touching the hairs.

Cost of eyelash dyes

The cheapest eyelash dyes are natural. The cost of a bag of basma or henna starts from 17 rubles. A budget cream paint without a brush can be bought for 65 rubles.

The procedure for tinting eyelashes will allow a girl to forget about the daily application of mascara. At the same time, her look will always be bright and expressive. Even at home, painting can be done efficiently and get an ideal result.
