Dear Krissy,
My eyesight has been getting worse over the past couple of years, and I now find that I’m having trouble applying mascara. A friend recently advised me to get my eyelashes tinted. She said that I would no longer have to apply mascara by myself. Is this true?

Good news! Your girlfriend is correct. Eyelash tinting has become very popular over the past couple of years and has become helpful for those who may have difficulty with their eyesight. This treatment is also very popular with brides, as well as people who like to spend a lot of time in the water, because it not only colors your eyelashes like mascara, but it WILL NOT run! The other great benefit of keeping color on your eyelashes is that it makes your eyes look perkier and more youthful. You can have your eyelashes tinted in many different colors, such as black, blue, brown etc. and tinting will usually last up to 2 weeks before your lashes will need a touch up.
