Lash Tinting: What To Expect

At Gameela Skin in Phoenix, AZ, I’m all about creating a comfortable and personalized experience. Your lash tint appointment is designed to be efficient, relaxing, and results-driven. My goal is to enhance your natural beauty and leave you feeling relaxed and confident in your skin. My lash tint process looks like this: 

Lash Consultation

Before I begin, I’ll sit down with you to talk through your goals and select a tint shade that complements your skin tone and eye color. Whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement or dramatic definition, we’ll find the perfect match.

Prep the Skin

As I do with all my treatments, I start by cleansing the eye area, removing any makeup or impurities. Then, I apply a protective barrier cream to the skin around your eyes to prevent staining from the dye.

Apply the Lash Dye

Once you’re prepped and comfortable, I mix and apply the custom tint to your lashes. It stays on for about 10 minutes while the color develops.

Remove the Lash Dye

After the tint has set, I gently wipe away the dye with a damp cotton pad. What’s left? Lashes that look fuller, darker, and effortless.

Eyelash Tinting: Most Asked Service Questions

How Much is Lash Tinting in Phoenix? 

At Gameela Skin, the cost for a lash tint treatment is $45. Many of my clients love pairing their tint with a lash lift to add curl and volume, creating a complete lash transformation. A lash lift starts at $85, bringing the total for both services to $130.

How Long Does Lash Tinting Last?

On average, lash tint results last about four weeks. Because lashes naturally shed and grow, you’ll begin to notice new, lighter lashes growing in around that time. You can extend the life of your tint by keeping your lashes dry for the first 24 hours and following a few simple aftercare steps (I’ll get to those details shortly).

How long does a lash tint appointment take?

At Gameela Skin, A lash tint appointment typically takes 30 minutes —perfect for fitting into a busy day. If you opt for a lash lift and tint combo, plan to be at the studio for around 60 minutes of total treatment time. 

What is the Difference Between a Lash Tint and Lash Extensions?

While both services enhance the look of your lashes, they’re totally different in how they work and what they offer. 

A lash tint uses dye to darken your natural lashes, creating definition and the appearance of longer, fuller lashes without any added materials. It’s a great option if you’re looking for a natural, low-maintenance beauty routine.

Lash extensions, on the other hand, involve adhering synthetic lashes to your natural ones to add dramatic length and volume. They require more maintenance, touch-ups every few weeks, and a higher price point. If you're someone who prefers a clean, no-fuss look or has sensitive eyes, a lash tint by yours truly (yes, it’s me, Nancy) is the perfect match. You’ll still get that defined lash line, minus the upkeep.

What Are The Benefits Of Lash Tinting? 

One of the best parts about getting a lash tint? You can say goodbye to mascara for weeks—hello, effortless, wake-up-and-go lashes! No more smudging, clumping, or scrubbing it off at night (although I always recommend a double cleanse). Lash tinting is also an ideal treatment for active lifestyles or warm Phoenix days when you want to look fresh without worrying about your makeup melting.

It’s a great option for those with sensitive skin or eyes, too. The lash dye I use at Gameela Skin is made with gentle, natural ingredients designed to minimize irritation while delivering long-lasting results.

Is eyelash tinting safe?

Of course! When performed by a trained professional using high-quality products (like I do at Gameela Skin), lash tinting is a safe and comfortable experience. I take extra care with every client to ensure your skin and lashes are protected throughout the process.

Are There Side Effects of Lash Tinting?

Although uncommon, some individuals may experience mild sensitivity or an allergic reaction to the dye. If you’ve had reactions to beauty products in the past, let me know before your appointment. I always review allergies and sensitivities in advance to ensure a safe and positive experience. And if you notice any redness or irritation after your service, please contact me so we can figure out the best course of action. 

lash tint aftercare

First 24 Hours

Keep your lashes dry. That means no steamy showers, no facial cleansers, and no eye makeup. Let the tint fully set in for the best results, ensuring longer-lasting, more even color.

After 48 Hours

Avoid oil-based products, rubbing your eyes, or using harsh cleansers directly on your lashes. If you can, try to sleep on your back for the first couple nights to keep your lashes undisturbed.

From day three onward, you can go back to your usual skincare and makeup routine—just be gentle when working around the eye area to keep those lashes looking fresh.
