Yes, Really: At-Home Eyelash Tinting In 4 Simple Steps (VIDEO)

Not everyone is fortunate to have lush, double rows of eyelashes like the late Elizabeth Taylor. And while there are tons of products out there that promise to give us a thick flutter, I'd rather not worry about melting makeup or skipping the pool this summer. Another alternative to layering on the mascara: Eyelash tinting. Usually lasting between four to six weeks, this popular treatment creates standout lashes, no touch-ups necessary.

In the video above, BellaSugar associate editor Miriam Lacey gives us an up-close and personal look at how she dyes her eyelashes without taking an eye out. Using a lash shield to prevent the dye from smudging onto the under-eye area, Godefroy 28-day non-toxic mascara and a tiny tooth brush to evenly coat each lash, she safely and swiftly darkens even those hard-to-reach fine hairs. Word of advice: Don't do this before bed, or else you'll end up with semi-permanent raccoon eyes (yikes!).

Would you dye your own eyelashes? Or is this something you'd leave in the hands of a professional?
