Lash Lift & Tint
What is a lash lift?
One way to think of a lash lift is like a perm for your eyelashes. Unlike a lash extension, a lash lift simply alters the shape and colour of your natural lashes. “In most people, lashes grow out, rather than up. However, upward growing lashes will give a more cosmetically pleasing appearance,”
Will a lash lift damage your lashes?
Lash lifts will not damage your lashes if done properly. Getting your lashes lifted usually motivates you to grow longer lashes and take better care of them naturally. I tell my clients to hydrate their lashes after a lift with coconut oil.
How long will the results last?
Results of a lash lift and tint last about six to eight weeks, depending on individual circumstance and also if after care is followed.
What is the application process?
Pin-straight eyelashes can go unnoticed. A lash lift opens up your eyes and adds length and body to your lashes.
- First, your lash therapist places cotton pads over your lower eyelids and curved silicon pads are placed over your upper eyelid.
- A bonding solution is then brushed over the eyelashes, pushing them against the curved silicon pad.
- Next, your therapist checks for clumping and ensures that each of your lashes is equally spaced.
- Then a perming solution is applied and left to process for around ten minutes.
- After that, the solution is removed and a neutraliser solution is applied and left to process.
- Your therapist removes your lashes from the silicon pad using a moist cotton swab and cleans your eyelids.
- Next, the tint is applied to the lashes and left to process for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Then the tint is removed using cotton pads and swabs.
How do you maintain a lash lift?
The first 48 hours after a lash lift are the most crucial to maintaining those gorgeous results, and it’s required that you avoid water (and mascara), heavy exercising (or anything that would make you sweat a lot), or showering—at least in any way that will expose your lashes to the water.
A lash lift and tint is the perfect treatment for anyone who wants stunning, fluttering, unforgettable lashes.
