Do you really want things like acidic lemon juice on the thin
delicate skin surrounding your eye? Do you really want reddish-
orange eyeliner? This is what you would get using natural henna.
Using colored or black henna and you may never see again. Some of
the chemicals used in black henna in particular are very harsh and
shouldn't be used on any skin let alone the eye I think this would
look bizarre at best and probably make you look grossly unhealthy or
hungover. Even if it wouldn't irritate the eyes and I'm pretty sure
it would, I can't imagine trying to leave it set long enough to stain
without blinking and screwing it up. Styles and popular colors of
eye makeup come and go. I think I'll stick with makeup. You can
have a new face each time you apply.
Try www.castleart.com. I have always been happy with their product
and many on this forum have ordered from them with prompt results.
