How to Tint Lashes After a Lash Lift

A lash lift is one of the easiest ways to give natural lashes a longer, more defined appearance without extensions. Adding a lash tint afterwards can make the finished result look even darker and more noticeable.

If you’re wondering how to tint lashes after a lash lift, the key is using the correct products, protecting the surrounding skin and following the tint manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

At PhatLash, we stock RefectoCil lash and brow tints, making it easy for lash technicians to complete both lifting and tinting treatments with professional products.

Can You Tint Lashes After a Lash Lift?

Yes. Lash tinting is commonly carried out as part of a lash lift treatment.

A lash lift changes the shape and direction of the natural lashes, while the tint darkens them. When combined, the treatment can make lashes appear longer, fuller and more defined.

Tinting is usually completed towards the end of the lash lift treatment, once the lifting stages have been completed.

What Do You Need to Tint Lashes After a Lash Lift?

Before starting, make sure you have everything prepared.

You may need:

• Professional lash tint
• The correct developer for your chosen tint
• Tint mixing dish
• Tint brush or applicator
• Under-eye protection
• Cotton pads or buds
• Clean water or suitable tint remover

At PhatLash, we stock RefectoCil tints, a popular choice among professional lash and brow technicians.

How to Tint Lashes After a Lash Lift

1. Complete the Lash Lift

Carry out your lash lift treatment according to the instructions for the lifting system you are using.

Once the lifting stages are complete, make sure the lashes are ready for tint application.

2. Protect the Skin

Protect the client’s under-eye area before applying tint.

Under-eye pads or suitable protective products can help prevent the tint from staining the surrounding skin.

Take extra care around the delicate eye area.

3. Prepare Your Lash Tint

Mix your chosen lash tint with the appropriate developer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Always use the recommended mixing ratio and processing time for the specific product you are working with.

If you’re using RefectoCil, make sure you pair your tint with the correct RefectoCil developer and follow the product guidance provided.

4. Apply the Tint

Carefully apply the tint to the lashes, ensuring the product covers them evenly from root to tip while avoiding unnecessary contact with the skin.

Work precisely and keep the client’s eyes closed throughout the treatment.

5. Allow the Tint to Develop

Leave the tint on for the recommended development time.

Processing times can vary depending on the tint, developer and treatment being carried out, so always follow the manufacturer’s instructions rather than relying on one standard timing.

6. Remove the Tint

Once the tint has developed, carefully remove the product using damp cotton pads or the recommended removal method.

Continue until the lashes are clean and there is no remaining tint residue.

You can then complete the final stages of your lash lift treatment according to the products and system you are using.

Why Add a Tint to a Lash Lift?

A lash lift can make lashes look longer by lifting them upwards, but clients with naturally lighter lashes may still feel that their lashes lack definition.

Adding a tint can help:

• Darken the natural lashes
• Make lashes appear more noticeable
• Enhance the results of the lash lift
• Reduce the need for everyday mascara
• Create a more complete finished treatment

This is why lash lift and tint treatments are so commonly offered together.

Choosing a Lash Tint

When carrying out professional treatments, it’s important to use products designed specifically for lash and brow tinting.

RefectoCil tints are widely used by beauty professionals and are available in a range of shades, allowing technicians to select the most suitable colour for their client.

Important Lash Tinting Safety

Lash tinting involves working extremely close to the eyes, so correct training and product knowledge are essential.

Always:

• Follow the tint manufacturer's instructions
• Carry out any required patch testing
• Check the client for contraindications
• Use products specifically designed for professional lash tinting
• Avoid getting tint or developer inside the eye
• Follow your training and local treatment requirements

Never carry out a lash lift or tint treatment without the appropriate knowledge and training.
