Would you let your dd get her eyelashes tinted?

[IAmTheBFG]

My dd is 15 and will be going on a long trip with school next February to South America for nine days.My daughter is very fair and has almost translucent eyelashes, therefore she has asked me if I would let her get her eyelashes tinted, because during these nine days they will be doing an awful lot of water-based activities so mascara will just smudge. Would you let her?

Yep. Costs about a tenner, stings a bit, but so worth it.

Might have mine done again actually...

Yes. No problem at all. Its good that she has asked you.

I buy the dye etc from our local beauty supplier and do it myself. It costs me about £10 a year.

I can't see why not really. It's just a semi permanent form of make up. I'd remind her that she looks fine without and people will not care while they're doing their activities, but if she still wants to I wouldn't stop her

100% yes. It will give her confidence. I hate not having mascara on my eyelashes are also so fair.

At 15? Yes, probably.

Sounds like a wonderful trip.

At 15 yes definitely. I'm very blonde and it makes a world of difference to my stubby pale lashes! Hope she enjoys her trip.

I just had a quick look, I pay £5 for the tube of dye & £3 for a bottle of developer, that lasts all year. Plus a bowl & small brush.

I use Blue/Black as it looks darker on me.

At 15 probably if they asked bet it stings though

Does mascara not do the same thing ?

Mrsjayy- not semi permanent so if you are in and out of water it won't wash off.

Oh yes let her. I have very fair eyelashes and although use a really good waterproof mascara (Lancôme has saved my life!) at her age getting them tinted is a really good idea. It might sting but it'll be worth it.

Yes I would, at 15. Just warn her that it can be stingy and the beautician may wish to do a small patch test a couple of days before.

At 15 yes. I had mine done at about 16/17 I think and my eyebrows. It looked a hell of a lot better than my smudgy mascara (which I insisted on wearing all day at school - and yes I was still at school at 17).

Oh yeah saves the faff I suppose.

Absolutely, I'd go for it.

It only stings if the dye/developer actually gets in your eye. If you find someone who knows what they are doing, and doesn't get it in your eye, no stinging. HTH.

I had it done for the first time at 13 (no makeup rule at school, I was very fair, my mum suggested it actually!)

I find it only stings if dye goes on your eyes, which has happened to me twice in 13 years. Does really really sting though!!

Please get it done at a salon rather than letting her do it herself.

At 15 it wouldn't even have crossed my mind to ask permission from my parents for things like this. Yes, let her!

We had a no make-up rule at school too rae - I just ignored it. Public enemy number one me!

Yes I'd let her but would pay to take her to a salon type place to have it done properly, not want her to do it at home.

Yeah our local place it is a tenner to get it done she is as well to go to a salon

You rebel Lady

I used to put concealer under my eyes but anything like mascara would've been spotted and removed. I think they made exceptions for the girls with bad acne wearing foundation, as they should.

Definitely. It's great. You can buy a DIY kit in Boots for a tenner. There's enough in ot to last all year or more.

It's really good.

Yes but make sure you test first in case of a reaction. I used to do mine with Coloursport.

Yes I would.

I started having mine done at 16, and still have it done monthly nearly 30 years later.

I recommend getting it done properly in a salon though, doing it home isn't easy and IMO if you have very fair lashes doesn't look as good as you can't get right up to the lash line.

Yes. It's no big deal. It's not expensive and it's not permanent.
