It’s time to pay attention to the colour of those lashes.

When we think of eyelashes we often think of how to thicken, lengthen, separate and curl them, but simply changing the colour of the lash can go a long way to changing your overall appearance. In the same way that tinting your brows makes them richer and more defined, playing with your lash colour can sharpen the lashes and ultimately change your entire face.

It gives your face more definition

Altering the colour of your lashes, whether it be with a professional treatment, a beauty bag tinting product, or even a great mascara, makes your face look sharper and more defined. Lush, black, glossy lashes give your face more balance and highlight your key features.

It brightens the eyes

Regardless of your lash colour, darkening them even slightly will brighten the eye area. Deeper, darker lashes will bring intensity to the eyes, making them pop, and making you look more awake. Plus, velvety black lashes will make it appear as if you are wearing eyeliner along the lids, even if you aren’t, opening up the eye even more.

If you already have dark lashes

If you have darker hair (and therefore darker lashes) darkening them slightly will give you a little bit of extra definition. Colouring the lash will coat each individual lash, making them appear longer and fuller. Plus it will thicken and darken the tip of the lash, which is often lighter in colour, making them look luscious and long.

If you have fair, or light-coloured eyelashes

If you have lighter lashes you will see the most difference to the eye area and the appearance of your overall face. Going even a slightly darker colour, into the brown territory, will make your lashes look more noticeable, while going a silky black will make your entire face shine.

It’s the perfect no make-up look

Changing the colour of your eyelashes is a simple little trick, but it’s one that goes a long way, especially when it comes to the rest of your beauty routine. More defined lashes will have you opting for less make-up than usual, or even skipping your make-up routine altogether. It’s the perfect basis for a natural, no make-up look. You can wear less make-up, save on products, but still have a beauty look that makes you look brighter, sharper and more awake.
