to the DIY girls out there

Tinting your eye lashes:

1. Apply Vaseline around the entire eye area to avoid staining the skin (use a make up brush)
2. Use the small mascara wand to mix the eyelash tint and hydrogen peroxide in the mini bowl provided until the consistency is creamy
3. Place the tinting pad or protecter underneat the eye (Dab a little Vaseline on the pad, so that it stays in place)
4. Close one eye and apply the mixture to the eyelashes as you would mascara, without touching the skin. Wait 10 minutes and repeat the procedure on the other eye. Be careful not to get any in your eye, by not moving your eye at all for 10 minutes. It burns like crazy!!!  use an alarm , to know when to take the mixture off (or step 5) Close both eyes, and lie down, while you wait.
5. Wipe the eye area with a damp (not wet) piece of cotton wool to remove any drops of the mixture.
