After removing eyelash extensions, many clients wonder: Can I tint my natural lashes now? At MONLIS Studio in Munich, we often hear this question, as a well-groomed look remains important even after extensions are gone. In this article, we explain when lash tinting is possible after removal, what to watch out for, and what alternatives are available for sensitive lashes.
Why Tint Your Lashes at All?
Tinting gives the lashes a more defined appearance, makes the eyes stand out, and often eliminates the need for mascara. Especially after removing extensions, many women feel their look is incomplete and want a quick enhancement.
Is It Recommended to Tint Immediately After Extension Removal?
After removal, natural lashes are often in a weakened state. Even though removal at MONLIS Studio is done professionally and gently, it's still a chemical process. That’s why we recommend waiting at least 5–7 days before considering a tint.
During this time, the lashes can recover, rehydrate, and any irritation of the sensitive eyelid area can subside. Those with very sensitive skin may want to extend the recovery time to two weeks.
Which Products Are Used for Lash Tinting at MONLIS Studio?
At MONLIS Studio, we use ammonia-free and eye-safe lash dyes developed specifically for the delicate eye area. Our dyes are dermatologically tested and deliver intense color results without further damaging the lash structure. This makes them suitable even for slightly weakened lashes.
The Lash Tinting Process
Consultation and Patch Test: Before each lash tint, we conduct a brief consultation and recommend an allergy test 24 hours in advance.
Cleansing: The eye area is thoroughly cleaned to remove any traces of oil, makeup, or skincare.
Tinting: The lash dye is applied and left on for 10–15 minutes, depending on the desired intensity.
Aftercare: After removal, we offer a nourishing lash serum to support regeneration.
Which Colors Are Best After Extensions?
For clients transitioning from extensions to natural lashes, we recommend deep black or blue-black tints for the most contrast and visual fullness. For a softer look, brown tones are ideal – especially for lighter skin types.
Aftercare Tips
Proper aftercare is essential:
Avoid oil-based makeup removers, as they can strip the tint faster.
Use keratin-based serums to strengthen lash structure.
Avoid rubbing the eye area frequently.
Alternatives to Lash Tinting
If your lashes are too sensitive or weakened for tinting, MONLIS Studio offers:
Lash lifting with nourishing treatment
Clear coating for shine and strength
Growth-stimulating lash serums
Eyelash tinting after extension removal is generally possible – as long as the natural lashes are healthy. At MONLIS Studio in Munich, we offer personalized consultations and use specially formulated, gentle products. Give your lashes a short recovery period, then enjoy a fresh, defined look – no extensions needed.
