If you’re on this page, chances are good you already know why an Eyelash Lift + Tint is amazing: your own eyelashes, darker, curled back, no maintenance needed, for 6-8 weeks.
But here’s all the other stuff you should know:
What happens during an Eyelash Lift and Tint?
- The eyes and lashes are thoroughly cleaned. Lashes need to be super clean so that the active ingredients applied will have the best chance of working.
- An undereye gel patch is placed on lower lashes to keep them in place and prevent them from getting inadvertently involved in the upper lash situation through blinking.
- Soft silicone pads are placed on upper eyelids to hold them in place while the perm solution is applied to the uper-lashes.
- The lashes are thoroughly and carefully combed straight. Combing the lashes straight is a critical point in the procedure so that once the perm-solution is applied all of the eyelashes will point in the same, desired direction.
- A setting solution is applied to the lashes as they’re lifted upwards over the silicone pads. This takes 3½-6½ minutes, depending on how curl-resistant your lashes are. (Your provider can tell during step 4.) The solution is removed with cotton gauze.
- A lash tint is applied if you choose. The color depends on the natural color of your lashes and what color you want.
- The lash tint is removed, and the lashes are thoroughly cleaned with a nourishing oil.
- The lashes are combed, and the silicone pads are removed.
- You get to look at a mirror and appreciate your beautiful eyelash results.
Lash Lift Aftercare
- To get the longest lasting results from your Eyelash Lift and Tint, please follow these instructions:
- No water can touch the lashes for 24-hours following your lash lift.
- Your eyelashes should not be directly exposed to steam for 48-hours.
- You can use your normal mascara, but please remove any eye-makeup with an oil-based cleanser.
- After the initial 48-hours, use gentle products for cleansing your eyes and avoid rubbing or applying force to the lashes.
- Using waterproof mascara is discouraged because the removal process can be too harsh.
- You should not need an eyelash curler, and in fact using one could damage your lashes.
How Long Does the Treatment Take?
A typical Eyelash Lift and Tint treatment usually takes around 45-60 minutes.
How Long Do The Results Last?
Typically the results of an Eyelash Lift and Tint lasts 6-8 weeks. As it wears off, lashes gradually drop evenly and go back to their natural look.
