1 Your lashes on a really good day

Lift and tint showcases your natural lashes at their very best – and they still look natural. They're slightly curled and the lift gives an illusion of extra length. They'll open up your eyes, and the tint enhances their colour. Not to be confused with lash extensions, which actually add extra length, rather than just giving the illusion of it.

If you like, the treatment's a bit like a push-up bra for your eyes. But unlike a bra, you can keep the lashes for up to eight weeks.

2 A make-up-free morning

OK – maybe not entirely make-up free. But you can go easy on the mascara if you're short on time, as you'll already be half-way there. As for eyelash curlers, you shouldn't need to use them at all. It's about time we cleared out our eye make-up collection anyway. (If you want, you can still wear mascara on top. Just avoid it 24 hours after your treatment.)

3 Up to two months of bountiful lashes

This treatment will last six to eight weeks, and the effect lessens gradually. So you won't wake up one morning and suddenly find your lashes have gone back to normal – it'll drop evenly. Okay, pay day is soon right? Erm…

Is a lash lift and tint worth it?

02/07/2018 / Editor's picks

The words ‘pay day’ send shivers of pleasure down our spines. Reasons we go to work:

1) So we can fork out for 6am gym classes (however we feel at 5.15 when the alarm goes off)

2) So we can justify buying a new foundation tint each time there’s a 2 degree change in temperature

3) So we can fund our addiction to peanut butter

oh and 4) you know, to pay bills.

After all that, whatever’s left over needs to be really worth it. We’re putting the latest eyelash craze under the microscope to see if it’s worth our pennies: lift and tint.
