There’s more to the coloured lash tint than meets the eye. Your eyelash tips tend to be lighter than the roots, so while a tint can’t physically add any length, colouring them can definitely give the illusion of it.
It’s also versatile, low-maintenance and can be surprisingly subtle – so you don’t need to worry about scaring your postman early in the morning. Unless you’ve gone for the somewhat less subtle – but oh so pretty – rainbow tint.

1 They suit pretty much everyone
Whether you've got dark sooty lashes or they're fair and fine, you're eligible for a lash tint. The natural colour of your lash can make a difference to the shade you pick. Rainbow tints, for example, show up better on lighter lashes (unless you bleach dark lashes first to strip them of their pigment – which isn't really recommended). If you do have dark lashes, go for a blue-black shade – an inkier tone with a subtle hint of colour will bring out the best in your eyes.

2 There are a number of shades to pick from
If your natural eye colour is a cool green or you've got charming baby blues, go for a purple eye tint. It'll enhance your eye colour and intensify the shade.
Complement hazel eyes with a gentle wash of green or turquoise. Kind of like a modern take on the iconic '90s blue eyeshadow trend. But not so bold that your boss freaks out when you turn up to work.

3 It’s easy to hang onto your colour
Two options here. One: simply pick a slightly darker hue than the specific one you want. It'll fade slowly and help the dye last longer. And two: if you become really attached to your new sultry blue eyelashes, pop in for a quick touch-up to maintain them for longer.
