What is a lash lift? All things to know about the beauty trend
Do you ever find yourself daydreaming about having luscious, long eyelashes without having to layer on the mascara? If so, you are not alone! Lash lifts have officially overtaken mascara and we are here for it. Eyelash lift is the latest beauty trend that has come in gushing like a wave. And the buzz surrounding lash lifts is certainly not going anywhere. As the newest ‘it’ trend enters the beauty block, here, we bring you all the details you must know about lash lifts if you are considering trying one for yourself.
What is a lash lift?
A lash lift is a semi-permanent treatment that creates perfectly curled lashes to compliment your facial features. It’s a perm for your eyelashes. All lashes have a natural shape, so this process alters that shape via a tiny curling rod and a lifting solution. This allows your lashes to become curled from the base to the top, appearing longer and lusher.
How is it different from eyelash extensions?
Though both are designed to make your lashes look fuller, they are not the same. An eyelash lift enhances the appearance of your natural lashes, while eyelash extensions are attached to your lashes.
What is the procedure for lash lift?
The expert separates your lower and upper lashes and applies a silicone pad to your upper lid. Your natural lashes are then curled over and attached to the rod with glue to shape your eyelashes. Technicians at The British Brow Bar follow a smooth process, using the right ingredients to give your lashes a fuller appearance. The entire treatment takes about 30-45 minutes.
Is lash lift permanent?
No, a lash lift is not permanent. The effects fade with time—and after a few weeks, you may find yourself once again reaching for that mascara. In general, a lash lift lasts for around four to six weeks. But it can vary, depending on your lashes.
After a lash lift treatment, you should avoid applying mascara for 48 hours and leave the lashes untouched for a full day. It is also noteworthy that no makeup or water should come in contact with your lashes for at least 24 hours to ensure the eyelash lift correctly sets into shape.
Voila! Now that you know the important details, it is time for you to book your appointment for that enticing lash lift.
