“I think eyelash tinting is an amazing service.
“I know that lash tinting recently became outlawed in California,” says Beeler.
That means more beauty sleep, folks.
“If you’re lightening your hair, the developer can be 40 to 50 volume.
This is what lifts the follicle, penetrates it with the color, and makes it permanent.
Never use this percentage anywhere around the eye area.”
And not just your eyes can be affected.
“Many commercial eyelash dyes are formulated to minimize skin irritation, but there is always a risk.
Other potential risks can include allergic contact dermatitis, eyelid dermatitis, and bacterial infection.
In severely rare cases can damage the eye or impair vision according to Dr. Lolis.
Risk increases for those who have a history of eczema, allergies, and sensitive skin.
“I recommend to have eyelash tinting done by a professional in a controlled environment to minimize risks.”
“There’s a company calledRefectoCilthat I use for lash and brow tinting.
The first is eyelash extensions.
Lash extensions should also be installed by professionals and will last about six weeks.
Some of the cons include the cost, upkeep, and potential eye irritation.
Another option is a lash lift.
Bonus points for a brand like RefectoCil, which gets Beeler’s seal of approval.
