Here’s the thing: Neither eyebrow nor eyelash tinting areapproved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Just because the FDA hasn’t approved the treatments doesn’t mean salons can’t perform the services.
You’ll need to check your state laws to see if nearby salons are allowed to perform eyelash tints.

“Just like the hair on your head, eyelashes have a cycle.
So, I gave an eyelash tint a try.
The whole process was very easy and only took about 30 minutes.

At Beau, Juwana uses Vaseline and adds an eye patch under the bottom lashes for even more protection.
After the eye area is prepped, your lashes are ready for the tint.
The dye is carefully applied with a disposable, single-use microtip brush and left on for 10-15 minutes.
If you keep your eyes closed, you will feelnothing.
Sounds easy enough but, TBH, this is the one part I found challenging.
At one point, I accidentally opened my eyes and felt a little bit of stinging.
(Also, I wear contacts, which cause my eyes to water a little more than others.
My esthetician told me to take my contacts out next time to be more comfortable.)
All that said, my blinking and tearing didn’t affect my eyes or the dye results at all.
I was pleasantly surprised with my results.
For the first time, I could see my fabulous eyelashes without any makeup.
My eyelash tint lasted at least three weeks, during which I mostly went sans-mascara.
I also didn’t feel the need to put on additional eye makeup.

But the real question: was eyelash tinting worth it and would I get it done again?
Ultimately, I don’t feel the need to continue getting an eyelash tint every few weeks.
And I’ll be honest: It was pretty liberating tonotput on mascara once for days.
