Can you wear makeup with lash lift?

A Lash Lift can last 6-8 weeks but can vary from person to person. You will need to have the process repeated every 8 weeks but not before to lift the new hair growth. There are some situations that may cause the lift to drop/weaken prematurely such as swimming, use off harsh products or heat.

Does it work for short or downward facing lashes?

Absolutely! Anyone with these types of lashes will love the lash lift! Your lashes will all be evenly dispersed and lifted.

How is a lash lift different from lash perm?

  1. Technique

    With lash perms, the curled eyelashes are produced by winding them around a cylindrical rod so that they curl more tightly and open up the appearance of the whole eye. On the other hand, lash lifts involves ‘lifting’ the natural lashes up from the base, using a gently-curved, silicone rod which gives the appearance of dramatically longer lashes.

  2. Lash Types

    The technique used for a lash perm works better on those with longer lashes as the curling shortens them rather than elongating them. Lash lifts are suitable for all lash lengths due to the ability to ‘lift’ the natural lashes from the root using different sized silicone rods. This makes them more inclusive for women with shorter lashes who have always turned to extensions.

  3. Results

    With lash lift techniques using the full length of the lashes to produce amazing results, they last slightly longer than a lash perm with many finding they don’t need a touch up for 2 to 3 months. Lash lifts require little upkeep, and the aftercare is minimal, ensuring they’re the perfect solution for those with busy schedules. Clients can also ask for tinting treatments alongside the lift, complementing their entire look and creating a polished finish. The lash perm has long held a place as a fantastic alternative to extensions for women who want their natural eyelashes to have a more pronounced curl. While both produce stunning looks, the lash lift has evolved as one of the most up to date techniques for all those looking to find sustainable ways to enhance their natural lashes.
