How to dye your eyelashes at home?
Since ancient times, women have come up with various means to emphasize their attractiveness. Today, you can dye 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 their eyelashes, and there are several reasons for this. Girls, who are naturally dark and thick, do not need this procedure, since the result remains invisible. The fair sex with light eyelashes regularly use the procedure to emphasize the shape of the eyes and the length of the eyelashes.
In addition, the use of natural materials such as henna and basma allows not only to dye the eyelashes, but also to improve the condition of the hairs. They become longer, stronger and less likely to fall out.

Self-painting takes as much time as a procedure in a beauty salon.
Only when carrying out the procedure yourself can you save a lot. A step-by-step guide lets you do it right. First, the eyes are cleaned of makeup. Even if it is not there, it is better to rub your eyes, as over time, natural grease and dust accumulate on the eyelashes. They prevent the paint from exerting 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, follow the instructions below.
- Mix a small amount of paint and developer.
- Apply the mixture directly to the skin on the inside of the arm just below the elbow crease. If after 5 minutes there is no allergic reaction, you can start staining.
- Close the skin around the eyes with an adhesive plaster, tape, disk.
- Apply petroleum jelly or cream to free areas.
- The mixture is gently applied to each eye in turn. Don't try to paint over the hairs at the base. So chances are high that paint may seep into your eyes.
- After 10 minutes (or based on the manufacturer's recommendations), the composition is washed off with water.
