Not All Lashes Are Equal: Choosing the Right Tint (Without Guesswork)

Let’s be honest—there are loads of lash tint shades out there. Picking one at random and hoping it suits? That’s how clients end up disappointed, and you lose repeat business.

Lash tinting is personal. It’s not just about colour—it’s about skin tone, undertones, eye colour, and lifestyle. Is she jetting off to Bali or just done with mascara? If you’re tinting for clients, you need to get it right every time.

This is your go-to guide for picking the perfect tint. We’ll cover base colours, subtle tweaks, top-tier products, and the exact InLei lash tint shades every pro should know.

Start Clean, Always: Lash & Brow Shampoo Is Non-Negotiable

Why start with a clean canvas? Because leftover oils, makeup, and micellar water will sabotage your tint.

Lash & brow shampoo is your primer. No clean lashes = no grip.
Pro tip: For heavy eye makeup wearers, double-cleanse.
Extra pro tip: Run a little saline solution through the lashes after cleansing—this can enhance tint absorption and help it last longer.

Why Professional Lash Tint Matters

Tried a drugstore tint that smelled weird or faded after two days? That’s why professionals steer clear.

You need:

• Stable pigments
  
• Predictable results
  
• Zero stinging or undertones gone wrong
  

Professional Lash Tint is about trust. Clients come back when they know their lashes will look flawless every time. InLei was made for pros—and it delivers.

🧪 Bonus for sensitive clients: InLei’s tint system uses a 1.5% developer, not the usual 3%.
That means less irritation, gentler processing, and safer application near the eye area—without sacrificing results.

Match Tint to Natural Colour (Not Just Blue Black)

Many techs default to blue black. But on fair-skinned blondes? It can look harsh.

Use this cheat sheet to colour match with precision:

• Blondes: InLei® Shiny Black, Brown, Light Brown, or for cooler tones, Ash Blonde or Graphite.
  
• Redheads: InLei® Chestnut or Light Brown give a soft, balanced finish.
  
• Brunettes: Brown, Blue Black, or Shiny Black all work well.
  
• Grey or white lashes: Mix Graphite with Shiny Black for dimension without looking overdone.
  

🔹 InLei® Lash Tint Colour Range:

• Shiny Black – deep, intense black with gloss
  
• Blue Black – cool-toned black for drama
  
• Brown – warm, classic brunette tone
  
• Light Brown – subtle, natural finish
  
• Chestnut – warm red-brown, ideal for redheads
  
• Red – bold and mixable for copper tones
  
• Copper – vivid and warm, great for red blends
  
• Ash Blonde – cool, muted tone
  
• Graphite – neutralises brassy tones or softens black
  

You can mix shades to create custom blends tailored to each client. No one-size-fits-all here.

Ask These Lifestyle Questions Before Tinting

If a client’s tint fades quickly, there’s usually a reason. Ask these questions before you mix:

• Do you wear makeup daily?
  
• Do you use oil-based cleansers or removers?
  
• Do you work out or visit saunas often?
  
• Any upcoming holidays? (Saltwater fades tints faster.)
  
• How bold do you want the look?
  

These answers help you determine how deep the tint should be—and whether to slightly over-tint for longevity.

Application Tips Even Pros Forget

Even seasoned artists slip up. Keep this checklist in mind:

• Set a timer. Always.
  
• Mix fresh. Every single time.
  
• No metal bowls. Use glass or plastic—metal can react with the developer.
  
• No distractions. One slip, and you’re wiping tint off skin.
  
• Always cleanse with lash & brow shampoo. No exceptions.
  

It’s the small things that ensure long-lasting, high-quality results.
