How are eyelashes tinted?
Special professional vegetable based pigments are used to enhance the color of eyelashes. These pigments are different from the kind used to color hair from the scalp – regular hair color is very dangerous to use on the face as it can cause blindness and skin irritation, thus the need for special pigments for the eyelashes. The most common colors used on the eyelashes are deep black, brown, brown/black, red, and blue-based silver. The tinting process takes about ½ hour, and the client reclines with the eyes closed, holding still. I use sanitary techniques to prevent staining of the face and to ensure adequate coverage.
