Thinking about Tinting

as the weeks fly past, we try to keep up with everything happening around us. casadelilly had an amazing time last weekend at a hens sparty, which was attended by 13 wonderful ladies. we provided the high tea, cocktails, together with a full manicure and pedicure station and eyelash and eyebrow tinting. It was great fun. (Unfortunately because of the whole privacy issue, we wont be posting any pictures of the event here.)


we recently introduced one new item at the hens sparty, which is tinting. we have realised how essential tinting can be. it changes the entire look and definition of your face, gives that great colour and depth to your eyes. in some cases, it even replaces the mascara, especially if you swim alot or go to the beach often.


to be on the safe side, tinting is best done by a professional and it is better to use a proper tinting kit, rather then the do-it-yourself boxes you get at the chemist.

according to Nita Kahlon;

Eyelash tinting is a process wherein your eyelashes are dyed to make them look darker. Depending on your skin type and hair color, you can achieve eyelash colors, including black, blue, shades of brown, grey or whatever color best fits your complexion.

Eyelash tinting will benefit people that are sensitive to make-up, people who are active in sports (especially swimming) and people who have no time to apply make-up daily. This process is also ideal for people who wear contact lenses because they don’t have to suffer putting on mascara any longer.

The process involves a quick and non-surgical procedure using vegetable dye as tint. Compared to putting on mascara, the effects of eyelash tinting is very natural. For this reason, most salons and spas cannot lighten the color of your natural eyelashes.

Before any lash tinting procedure, you should attend a consultation with the therapist. At least two day before your eyelash tinting treatment, you need to undergo a patch test to ensure there are no allergic reactions or sensitivities to a product. Then, your therapist will recommend the best color that could fit your skin type and hair color to produce the best results.

A typical eyelash tinting takes around fifteen minutes. Because of this, tinting your eyelash can fit into busiest of schedules. Once you arrive at the salon, the therapist will place cotton under your closed eyes and then apply a small amount of vegetable dye onto your eyelashes. After ten minutes, the dye is removed with water. The results could last around four to six weeks.

In addition, home tinting kits should be avoided, unless you are a trained professional. This is because not only can the treatment be messy, it could also yield results that are not as effective as those done in the salons are. Eyelash tinting done by a professional can provide amazing and long lasting results.
