"Are you thinking about tinting your eyelashes? This is CG with lips and more. Lets talk about eyelash tinting and what it involves. Well obviously it's going to involve seeking a professional going to a salon and finding somebody that knows what they are doing. Cause again you are working with the eye and our eyes are very precious. So you want to sit down, talk with that professional at that salon and ask them to go through the procedure and it would probably go something like this. They are going to tell you they are going cleanse and clean the area of the eye, it's going to be a process similar to coloring your hair. They are going to, and they mostly use, let me add, interject here, vegetable dyes for the eyelashes. They will protect the area, usually they will put something like Vaseline around the area of the eyes, close to the eyelash without getting it on the eyelashes. Because then you don't, won't be able to get the color there. They will probably take like a cotton pad, half moon it, cut it in half, lay it right under the eye area. They'll have you close your eyes and then they will color the eye with the colored food dye. The eyelashes themselves and then also they will probably have you open up the eye then, they will have to do this, and do the bottom eye. They will add the processor or the developer, you'll wait about fifteen to twenty minutes, they'll rinse them, there you go. You'll have beautiful tinted colored eyelashes. This is CG with lips and more and the greatest gift is the gift of beauty."
