Step 1: Mix

Use a small container to mix the henna and water together. Mix until you have a paste. Don’t leave the mixture watery, it must be thick.

Step 2: Prep Clean your face, giving careful attention to your lashes. Carefully dry your lashes, making sure there is no makeup or remover residue left behind. Apply petroleum jelly to the skin around your eyes. This will protect them from any straying dye.

Step 3: Apply

Using the clean mascara wand, dip it into the henna paste making sure the bristles are evenly coated. Apply the tint as if it were mascara. A quick tip: start with the lower lashes in order to avoid smearing onto the upper lashes.
