For millions (yes millions!) of years, humans have been darkening their lashes for the illusion of a long, thick and full set.
Ancient civilisations, most famously the ancient Egyptians, darkened their lashes with ‘kohl’, a substance made by grinding lead sulphide into a powder and mixing it into oil.
Meanwhile, South Asian cultures created ‘kajal’ by blending ash with castor oil. Later down the line, Europeans used sulfuric acid, saffron and even the soot from fireplaces!

Why should I get my eyelash tinting?
Eyelash tinting will make a huge difference to your appearance and lifestyle. No more faffing about with the mascara wand in the early hours of the morning – eyelash tinting allows you to literally get up, go out, and look flawless.
