Lash tint
explained.

Updated

In plain English

A lash tint colours existing natural eyelashes to make their colour and tips more visible without attaching extension fibres.

What the term means.

Tint can make pale tips more visible and the full natural lash easier to see. This is a colour effect rather than added physical length. A lift changes positioning; tint changes visible colour.

The two effects can be combined. Flirty's lift appointments include tint, so check the actual treatment menu before assuming a separate add-on is required. Relevant patch-test instructions still apply to the selected products, including when you have tried another tint elsewhere.

The technical details.

Colour and visible definition
Lift difference

Extension difference
No additional fibres attached

These are industry definitions. Product names, profiles and availability vary; your artist selects the actual system and construction for your appointment.

A common question.

Is a dark tint equivalent to a volume set?

No. Tint highlights the hairs present. Volume extensions add suitable fine-fibre fans and have a different application and maintenance process.
