Easy As…Eyelash Tint & Eyelash Curler

The cost will vary depending on where you go, but I get mine done from Caelie for $25. I go about 6 weeks in between lash tints. She uses black and it goes on the lashes for about 5 minutes. I found that if I try to talk to her while it’s on, then my subtle facial movements make the tint get into my eyes and there’s a mild stinging. So I try not to talk and I stay really still.

My eyelashes look great when it’s done and then all I do each day is curl them with my eyelash curler and it looks like I’m wearing mascara. I do still wear mascara on occasion for the extra drama it provides, but it’s usually on a day when I know I will commit to removing it that night before I go to bed. I find the lash tint to be a nice way to keep my makeup routine simple.

More Info on Eyelash Tinting

• Eyelash tinting lasts anywhere from 6-8 weeks
• The tint dyes the eyelashes and then starts to fade once your lashes begin to fall out and new ones grow in. Because the new lashes that grow in are fair in color it makes the tint appear to fade.
• We have 3 different cycles of hair growth and they are 3-12 weeks apart. So basically every 12 weeks you have brand new eyelashes!
• Most people choose Black or Deep Black (though some prefer a dark brown)

Eyelash Tinting is the Best!

• Tinting your eyelashes are great for anyone who has fair lashes: blond, gray or light brown lashes.
• When you get up in the morning your eyes are already defined and you don’t have to run for the tube of mascara!
• It’s also wonderful when you are on vacation so you don’t have to worry about your mascara running when you swim.

Q-tips

Well, the ideas she gave me reignited my excitement to use the products and go dig them up. She said that since I cleanse my face at night before bed that when I wake up my face is still clean. Which means that the mask can go on in the morning without having to cleanse first. So when you wake up you can put the mask on first thing, before you make your bed, get your tea, make your lunch, etc. Just make sure to leave it on for 5-10 minutes. Then when you’re ready to shower, use your scrub to remove the mask. You can do this once a week.

Once you’re out of the shower make sure you follow your scrub with a toner (to balance ph and to hydrate) and a gel or oil free light weight moisturizer, and an oil free or matte sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher.

I am using a mask and scrub by Only YourX and am happy with them. They definitely leave my skin feeling exfoliated and smooth. So grab yours and do your skin a favor – use them!

Preparing Your Skin
Prepare your skin for foundation and makeup by gently cleansing your face. You want to wash away all traces of mascara and left over eye makeup. Then scrub (exfoliate) to get rid of dead skin cells so your foundation goes on evenly. Use a gel or oil-free moisturizer to plump up and hydrate your skin cells, so that the foundation does not ‘drag’ when you apply it. I recommend applying a sunscreen that is matte or oil-free and has a SPF of 15-30. The sunscreen will act as a primer helping your foundation glide on during the application process. If you are told to use a primer, make sure it does not have a lot of silicon in it. The silicon is used to ensure that the foundation is applied smoothly; however, silicon moves around on the face and your foundation and/or eye makeup will not last.

Foundation
Make sure the foundation you are using matches your skin. Blend in the your foundation at your jaw line and neck, so there are no lines or creases. Pay attention to areas where your foundation may be visible and blend it in well, especially around the hairline, jaw line, nose, lips, and eyes. Then conceal with one of the following options: another layer of foundation (once your foundation dries you can apply another layer; usually this is needed under the eyes, nose, cheeks and chin), a concealer, or a concealer powder. When you set your foundation with a loose powder, use a powder color that matches your foundation or a transparent powder (if it is transparent, it will become the color of your foundation). No sense in trying to match your foundation to your skin then inadvertently changing the color with the wrong shade of powder.

Eyebrows
Your eyebrows frame your face, which is why it is critical that you make sure they are the right shape for your face. It is also important to keep them neatly groomed with regular maintenance. Fill in your eyebrows with eye shadow base and an eye shadow. You can also use an eyebrow pencil (try to find one that is water resistant for more staying power). Use a color that is one to two shades lighter than your actual brow hairs. After you fill in your eyebrows, set your brows with a loose powder or a powder compact.

Mascara
Always curl your lashes before applying mascara. If you curl your lashes after you apply your mascara, your lashes may stick to the lash curler or become clumpy. Always wear your favorite tried and true waterproof mascara. Apply one coat, let it dry, then apply a second coat. Brush up and down making sure you apply the mascara to the top of the eyelashes and the bottom.

Customize Your False Eyelashes
There are a lot of choices out there for false eyelashes. Decide your look based on the event and then you can customize your false eyelashes by: cutting strips to the desired length to fit your eye properly. You can also use individual eyelashes in small, medium, or long. Place individual false lashes of varying sizes and amounts to your eyelashes to create your desired look. Then apply mascara, allow time to dry, then a second coat.

1. An everyday lip liner that will go with all (or most hopefully) your colors
2. A light frosty lipstick color (for subtlety)
3. A darker lipstick color (to make a splash)
4. A classic red lipstick (to make a BIG splash)
5 & 6. A few glosses, light and dark to go over the lipstick or just to throw on in a quick mid-day touch up.

So it’s time for an inventory replenish: Caelie help!
