So to get the look Im going for takes time and concentration in the morning.

Between the tweezer clean up, the brushing, and the penciling in, the time adds up.

My ultimate dream is to roll out of bed with the brows of Cara Delevingne.

So when I heard about the option for brow tinting, it seemed like a logical answer.

Excited to give it a try, I added lash tinting to the experiment for a little extra oomph.

If you already have dark hair and brows, it’s actually better to go lighter.

Black on black can make a very harsh brow, she tells SELF.

For me, we ended up going with a mix of light and medium brown.

But after about two minutes, the technician swiped away the dye, revealing a surprisingly natural-looking brow.

And the dye only tinted my little brow hairs, leaving no stains on my skin.

Next up, lashes.

I was not to open them even the slightest.

Other shade options include black or brown for women with very light blonde lashes.

I hadnt even thought of the lower lashes!

That realization was exciting because I never wear mascara on my bottom lashes because it always ends up clumpy.

Then she moved on to the upper lashes with my eyes closed.

After sitting there for about eight minutes, my left eye started stinging.

Sheikh explained that it may have been a result of dry lashes and skin on my lid.

The dye stayed on my lashes for 10 minutes total.

Once it was wiped away, my lashes looked extra dark and separated.

A week after getting them done, I have yet to take a pencil to my brows.

At most, Ive brushed them up then moved on.

They look exactly as if I put makeup on.

All around it looked like I had applied a very natural-looking mascara.

But a week later, it doesnt really look like I have anything on.

Some clients see the tint start to fade after two to three weeks.

you could help extend your dye job by keeping brows moisturized.

Sheikh recommends putting on serums and oils to keep the hair hydrated.

Moisture is usually the key ingredient to keeping healthy longer, no matter what youre doing.

In general, she also urges women to be gentle around their eyes.

This means no using your fingers to pull off mascara or rubbing your eyes.

The whole process was seriously one of the most efficient beauty services Ive ever gotten.

I would definitely go back to get my brows tinted again.

While I did like how the subtle lash results looked, most days I still used mascara.

I never felt like they needed to be darker, just bigger.

If you have naturally blonde lashes, I would give lash tinting a try.
