Women from ancient times came up with various means to emphasize their attractiveness. Today, you can color your eyelashes yourself at home, without outside help. It is enough to study the technology and choose the right dye.
Features of the procedure
Not all women color eyelashes, and there are several reasons for this. For girls who are naturally dark and thick, this procedure is not needed, because the result remains invisible. The fair sex with light eyelashes regularly resort to the procedure to emphasize the incision in the eyes and the length of the eyelashes.
In addition, the use of natural materials such as henna and basma, allows not only to color the eyelashes, but also to improve the condition of the hairs. They become longer, stronger and less likely to fall out.
The staining procedure can be used as a simple eyelash care.
Precautions
When staining eyelashes, it is important to observe precautions, because the skin around is very thin and sensitive. Moreover, you can just get into the eye with dye. The easiest way to protect the skin under the eyes is using cotton pads. It is better to use those that adhere to the skin, then you do not need to worry about them not falling down during staining.
Experts advise to additionally apply petroleum jelly or cream on the skin around the eyes that is not covered with a protective cotton pad.
Nearby, there should definitely be free cotton pads, which can quickly remove an extra drop of dye. Safety is always a priority.

Staining technology
If you know the technology, you can easily paint eyelashes at home and not overpay for the services of a master. First of all, they do a sensitivity test. If you want to avoid problems in the future, do not miss this moment. If you want the eyelashes to be long and lush, it is worth choosing coloring agents with natural components in the composition. Suitable for this basma and henna, however, the effect of their staining does not last long.
Self-painting takes as much time as the procedure lasts in the beauty salon.
Only during the procedure alone can you save significantly. A step-by-step guide allows you to do this correctly. First, the eyes are cleansed of makeup. Even if it’s not there, it’s better to rub your eyes, because over time, natural fat and dust accumulate on the eyelashes. They prevent the paint from acting with sufficient force on the structure of the hairs, so the effect does not last long or the color falls unevenly.
To achieve the desired effect, it is worth following the following instructions.
- Mix a small amount of paint and developer.
- Apply the mixture directly to the skin on the inside of the arm just below the ulnar fold. If after 5 minutes there is no allergic reaction, you can start staining.
- Close the skin around the eyes with a band-aid, tape, disk.
- On void areas, apply petroleum jelly or cream.
- A mixture is gently applied to each eye. No need to try to dye the hairs at the base. So it is likely that the paint may seep into the eyes.
- After 10 minutes (or based on the manufacturer's recommendations), the composition is washed off with water.
