Loving Your Light Lashes: Tips for Redheads

Today is National Love Your Red Hair Day and we wanted to spend this day celebrating light lashes.

In recent years, a remarkable shift has occurred for redheads. Our distinctive features—red hair, freckles, and blonde brows—are gaining popularity. However, one aspect that remains overlooked is our light lashes. In a recent video, redhead TikTok creator @kylei.ann showcased her blonde lashes, captioning it: “Can we as a society please romanticize bleached eyelashes like we did with brows? No matter how hard I try to dye my lashes, it doesn’t last, so this is my solution.”

The caption of the video read, “Actually, nvm this is me starting the movement rn,” and other individuals with blonde lashes were actively sharing their thoughts in the comments:

“Me toooooo. It’s such an insecurity of mine I just want to be able to wear them natural without feeling ugly” – @kelz0691
“My biggest struggle tbh” – @natotallyrad
“No fr PLEASE” – @haleywalter79
“I’m on board with this” – @slyvaaaan

Many redheads face the common challenge of ultra-light brows and lashes, a struggle we understand firsthand. This experience was a significant factor in developing our first makeup product, Finally Have Brows® Longwearing Tinted Brow Gel. Since then, our product range has expanded to include three additional brow products. Redheads can finally achieve their desired brows with these tinted options and semi-permanent brow tinting.

When it comes to lash tinting, it’s important to note that while it can be tempting to attempt at-home applications, it is often safest when performed by a professional. We understand that professional lash services can be time-consuming and costly. Therefore, we recommend Finally Have Lashes® Redhead Mascara in Auburn as an excellent alternative.

This unique shade is specifically designed to provide redheads with a natural-looking enhancement. The warm auburn tone complements vibrant red hair beautifully, adding depth and dimension to lashes without overshadowing their natural beauty. This mascara helps create a cohesive look that highlights features, enhances the warmth of the complexion, and accentuates eye color. Additionally, auburn mascara is a stylish alternative to traditional black or brown, making it suitable for everyday wear and special occasions.

For the days you don’t want to wear mascara, here are some tips on rocking your natural blonde lashes:

Curl your lashes: A good curl will make your eyes appear more open. A heated lash curler will help them appear longer and help you hold the shape even better than a standard curler.
Use castor oil: Applying castor oil to your lashes may help to give them a darker appearance.
Try a lash serum: For longer, thicker lashes, opt for a sensitive-eye-friendly lash serum.
Get a lash lift: A professional lash lift can help give the eye a wider appearance and help your lashes stand out even when they are light.
Practice good lash care: Keep your lashes healthy by gently removing makeup at the end of the day and avoiding excessive rubbing or pulling.
Highlight your eyes: To make your eyes and lashes pop, use shimmery eyeshadows or a brightening eyeliner on your lower waterline.
Embrace minimal makeup: Sometimes, less is more – Let your natural beauty shine through with minimal makeup, focusing on glowing skin and a hint of blush to enhance your features.
Rock the natural look: Own your unique beauty! Confidence is key, so embrace your natural lashes and remind yourself that they make you unique.
