Eyelashes make your eyes look bigger and brighter, but unfortunately, not all of us have naturally dark lashes. Many people opt for mascara or lash extensions to darken their lashes, but these methods can be expensive and time-consuming. If you want to darken your eyelashes without using mascara or extensions, there are a few natural options that you can try.
Lash Tinting
Lash tinting is one of the most popular ways to darken your eyelashes naturally. Lash tinting involves dyeing the hair on your upper and lower eyelids with a special dye specifically designed for use around the eyes. The process usually takes about 10-15 minutes, depending on the desired darkness of the result. During this process, petroleum jelly is applied around the eye area to protect the skin from any potential irritation caused by the dye used in tinting. It is important to note that if done incorrectly or with inferior products, it could cause serious side effects such as permanent discoloration of your eyes and even blindness in some cases. So, it’s best to leave this procedure to professionals only! To see the results of a lash tint before and after, click here.
Use A Lash Color Cream
If you don’t feel comfortable having someone else tint your lashes, then another option is using a specially formulated lash color cream, which can be applied at home safely without any risks involved like with the other procedures mentioned above. These creams come in various shades ranging from light browns all the way up to black, so they can easily help you achieve whatever look you desire for your eyes without needing any extra tools or assistance from others aside from yourself!
You simply apply them just like regular makeup (like liquid liner) onto both top and bottom lids every day before going out. They won’t rub off unless washed away, so they provide great long-lasting results! However, it should be noted that since these creams contain chemicals that may irritate sensitive skin types, please do patch tests first before applying them near delicate areas such as under-eye circles, etc.
Try Magnetic Lashes
Another option for making your eyelashes darker naturally is trying out magnetic false eyelashes, which have become increasingly popular over recent years due to their convenience factor – no glue needed! This type of product works by sticking two small magnets together on each end of an artificial strip lash (made out of either synthetic fibers or human hair). When worn correctly, these magnets attach securely onto each other, giving an incredibly realistic-looking set of full, fluttery false lashes perfect for any occasion! All you need to do afterward is remove them when done – no mess involved at all compared to traditional adhesive glues used previously.
Get A Lash Lift To Make Your Eyelashes Look Darker
A third option would be getting a ‘lash lift‘ treatment done at salons where technicians use special tools and products specifically designed for curling and lifting individual hairs upwards towards their roots, thus creating longer-looking, more voluminous results instantly – perfect if what you’re after isn’t necessarily super-duper dark-colored but instead something more subtle yet noticeable enough still makes quite an impact when seen in person (especially during pictures)! This procedure has been gaining lots of traction lately because unlike other techniques mentioned here, it doesn’t involve actually altering pigment levels whatsoever, so there’s zero risk involved – however, please keep in mind that results aren’t permanent either since the curl fades over time, eventually returning back to its original state after a few weeks depending on lifestyle habits, etc…
Get Eyelash Extensions
Finally, we have the last method which is to get professionally fitted and applied artificial mink or synthetic fiber-based extensions. This method, called eyelash extensions, offers much longer-lasting effects than the temporary solutions that have been discussed earlier today. It also gives a much fuller effect due to its ability to add additional length and thickness in whatever desired shape you want. This is thanks to the careful application process carried out by experts in salon settings, ensuring secure placement throughout the entire lifespan of the wearing period, which usually lasts anywhere between 4-6 weeks.
While the cost may seem a bit high initially compared to the other procedures listed above, many women find the investment worth every penny considering the hassle-free nature and ease of maintenance required to maintain a beautiful set throughout the duration of the wearing period. Plus, who doesn’t love waking up in the morning ready to go without having to put effort into doing makeup?!
