You should not use these dyes and tints

Why Eyelash Dyes Are a "Don't"!

Here's why you should avoid eyelash dyes, even those advertised at upscale salons or spas, or for at-home use:

  • The biggest concern about using eyelash dyes is that they can cause blindness! Yes, blindness! Now that's suffering for beauty! It won't matter how dark or noticeable your lashes are if you're not able to see them!
  • Along with the possibility of blindness, eyelash dyes can cause swelling, inflammation of the eye itself, and eye infections that may land you in the hospital.
  • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) absolutely prohibits the use of hair dyes for eyelash (and eyebrow) tinting or dyeing, even in beauty salons and other establishments.
  • Despite what you may have heard at your salon, there are no color additives or coloring agents, synthetic or natural, approved by the FDA for dyeing or tinting eyelashes-either by professionals or by consumers at home.
  • There are no "natural" or "organic" eyelash dyes. If it changes the color of your lashes, then it means the exact same dyes that you find in permanent hair dyes (for the hair on your head) are being used. And only synthetic dyes (which are not approved either) can change blond or red hair to dark brown or black.
  • United States law requires all hair-dye products (1) to include instructions telling users to perform patch tests before they use them so they can determine if they may have an allergic reaction, and (2) to carry warnings about the dangers of applying these products to eyebrows and eyelashes. We know, we know…who takes the time to do those tests before covering their gray roots, right? But, the warning about dyeing your eyebrows and eyelashes is there because it is so dangerous!

How do you apply eyelash tint?

If you have bought your eyelash tint kit from a store then it should have the basic instructions inside the packet, however eyelash tinting is very tricking to get right if you are doing it by yourself. My advice is to go to a salon and get a professional to tint them for you - despite the fact it can be quite costly the end result will be much prettier and safer than if you do it yourself. If you are set on doing it from a home kit then make sure you read the instructions fully - if there are no instructions in the box DON'T DO IT because if you get the tint in your eyes or use it wrong it could be dangerous. Also if you are doing it at home make sure you have a friend with you to help you if something goes wrong - if you get tint in your eye you wont be able to clean it out yourself ! Hope this help :)


What color is ash brown?

It is a "lighter" shade of brown, but on the cool side, without reds, or warm tints. Ash brown refers to the "gray" tint of ash (not the "black"), not silver gray you get when you get old, but a slight tint of gray. And no, there's no "black" involved.Ash has a green tint which disallows redish mousey tones to appear in brown. It is more dusty than gray.

What Neutral tint base mixed with gray. What color?

When you mix a neutral tint base with gray, the resulting color will depend on the proportions of each. Typically, the mixture will yield a muted, desaturated gray that leans towards a more neutral tone, potentially appearing slightly warmer or cooler based on the specific neutral tint used. This blend can create a sophisticated, understated shade suitable for various artistic applications.
