"Do you wear contact lenses and you want to get your eyelash tinted. I'm CG with Lips and More and how to tint your eyelashes when you wear contact lenses. Well first of all that is something to be concerned about because as you know anyone who wears contact lenses you don't want to get anything in the eye area or scratch the eye, the cornea or your contact lens itself. So first of all when you are talking with a professional definitely go to a professional to have this done with your eyes. Make sure they know and they are made aware. You might even want to talk to your ophthalmologist about wearing the contact lenses and having this done. Depending on what the problems are with your eyes. But I'm sure they are going to tell you don't wear those contact lenses while they are doing that process. Because the process does involve them cleaning and cleansing the eye area, putting a protecting thing of like Vaseline around the area, eye area. And then applying the processing of the dye to the eyelash itself. So I would probably recommend not wearing your contact lenses during that whole process. Bring along your regular glasses that you wear when you take out your contact lenses during the day. And I'm CG with lips and more and the greatest gift is the gift of beauty."
