Haven't tried a lash lift yet? Here's everything you need to know about the lash trend!

What is best – lash lift or eyelash extensions?

In a lash lift, unlike eyelash extensions, only your own lashes are used. This way you don't risk your lashes falling out and becoming uneven. But the results aren't as obvious with a lash lift, so if you're looking for a real wow effect, eyelash extensions might be the option for you!

How long does a lash lift last?

A lash lift lasts six to eight weeks. You should not wear makeup for the first 24 hours, but after that, non-waterproof mascara is fine. However, using mascara frequently can cause your lashes to lose volume sooner.

How is a lash lift done?

First, the shape that suits your lashes is determined. For example, if you have shorter lashes, you need straighter lashes that point upwards, while longer lashes need more curve. The lashes are then placed on a silicone plate that contains a serum and products that help create the shape and color of the lashes. After an hour on the silicone plate, the lashes are ready!
