When it comes to our lashes, we strive for three things: length, fullness, and lift. Let’s say you’re good to go on the first two and just in need of a little pick-me-up (literally!). A lot of women love their natural lashes, but they tend to droop to one side or grow in a particular way that we aren’t a fan of. While mascara and lash curlers can help, sometimes our lashes need a little extra something. If you’ve been craving a simple solution for ready-to-go lashes, here’s everything you need to know about a lash lift (and why you’re about to become as obsessed as we are!)
Think of a lash lift as a gentle perm for your lashes. This innovative technique carefully lifts and curls each lash from root to tip, revealing their full length and creating the illusion of wider, brighter eyes. The result? A natural enhancement that lasts for weeks, freeing you from the daily struggle with stubborn lashes. The lash lift experience takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour and lasts anywhere from 6-8 weeks, which is the time frame in which your natural lashes fall out and grow back in.
What Does a Lash Lift Feel Like?
During your lash lift appointment, you’ll relax comfortably with your eyes closed. The process is surprisingly gentle, utilizing a specially formulated solution that’s safe for even the most sensitive eyes. You might feel a slight tingling sensation as the solution works its magic, but it’s generally a painless and relaxing experience.
And the best part? Once your lashes are lifted, they’re ready for anything. Rain or shine, sweat or tears, your perfectly curled lashes will stay put, requiring minimal maintenance and offering maximum impact.
Can I Still Wear Mascara?
Absolutely! A lash lift enhances your natural lashes, so you can still enjoy your favorite mascara for an extra boost of drama. However, to keep your lashes healthy and extend the life of your lift, we recommend opting for a gentle, easy-to-remove mascara. Nourishing formulas or those enriched with keratin are excellent choices to support your lashes’ natural strength and vitality.
Who Should Get a Lash Lift?
If you desire a subtle yet noticeable enhancement to your eyes, a lash lift might be your perfect match. A lash lift is ideal for those who:
- Love their natural lashes but want more definition.
- Seek a low-maintenance alternative to lash extensions.
- Have sensitivities to lash extension adhesives.
- Want a look that’s suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions.
Planning a special event? We recommend scheduling your lash lift a few days prior to allow the curl to fully set. Remember to avoid getting your lashes wet or applying mascara for at least 48 hours after the treatment.
Lash Lifts vs. Lash Extensions: Which is Right for You?
While both lash lifts and extensions enhance your eyes, they offer distinct advantages. Lash lifts work with your natural lashes, subtly lifting and curling them for a “your lashes but better” effect. They’re low maintenance, lasting for weeks with minimal upkeep, and generally more affordable than extensions. On the other hand, lash extensions add length and volume by applying individual synthetic lashes, creating a fuller, more dramatic look. This glamorous enhancement requires more commitment, however, as extensions need regular refills every 2-3 weeks and typically represent a greater investment.
Preparing for Your Lash Lift Appointment
To ensure a smooth and successful lash lift experience, a little preparation goes a long way. Arrive at your appointment with clean lashes, skipping any eye makeup. For 24 hours beforehand, avoid using oil-based makeup removers or eye creams around your eyes, as these can interfere with the lifting solution. You’ll also need to remove your contact lenses prior to the procedure. And finally, don’t hesitate to communicate with your certified lash artist! Discuss your desired look and any concerns you may have to ensure you’re both on the same page.
