At a salon, the aesthetician will use solvent to break down the eyelash glue. Don’t try to pull the extensions out yourself unless they are partly falling out.

The process of eyelash tinting involves the application of a semi-permanent dye to the lashes, creating the dramatic visual effect of having darker, longer lashes. It is also the best way to prepare your lashes before applying false eyelashes or getting Eyelash Extensions as it helps to merge your natural lashes with the false eyelashes or lash extensions.
