If you’re a fan of mascara or false lashes, you’re likely familiar with common problems such as smudging, melting, irritation, frequent reapplication, neglecting to remove it, or waking up with unwanted raccoon eyelash.
Imagine waking up each morning to lashes that look perfectly curl and freshly coat with mascara, without the need for daily application. While experimenting with various mascaras can be fun, achieving this effortlessly would be incredible!
Experience the transformative impact of a lash lift and tint, a popular trend in contemporary beauty treatments.
Lift and tint your lashes for a voluminous look and rich color that lasts up to eight weeks.
As a makeup enthusiast who believes no look is complete without multiple coats of mascara, I was fascinate by the concept of lash lifts and decide to try one for myself.
I chose this service because lash lifts and tints are gentler and require less commitment than eyelash extensions.
I’ve come across numerous cautionary tales about individuals who repeatedly opt for eyelash extensions only to end up regretting their decision. So, when I found out there was a less intense alternative, I was eager to try it.
The cost of an eyelash lift and tint typically ranges from $60 to $175, depending on your location. This straightforward treatment usually lasts between 45 minutes to an hour and is surprisingly soothing.
The staff at my salon explain the procedure and provide aftercare tips to maximize lash lift longevity.
The stylist then commence a procedure similar to a perm, but design specifically for eyelashes. Following a face wash, I recline in a cozy chair that provide ample head support, enabling the stylist to examine my eyes thoroughly.
Next, she place soothing cooling pads under my eyes and on my eyelids, creating a spa-like sensation. She carefully position the pads and apply the perming solution in an upward motion to my eyelashes, allowing them to curl naturally and rest on the pads.
Throughout the entire procedure, it’s important to keep your eyes close. While it might feel unusual to have your lashes touch and adjust, most professionals handle it with a gentle approach, making the experience quite comfortable.
After applying the perming solution to both sets of eyelashes, the stylist proceeds with a conditioning treatment and then applies a tint. This tint darkens the lashes, similar to how hair dye enhances color.
Once your lashes are fully apply, your stylist will have you relax while the lashes set. This process typically takes around 30 to 40 minutes.
Consider taking a short nap or practicing meditation with your eyes close. I found it a perfect opportunity to catch some extra rest while I waited—it was an excellent excuse for a quick nap!
After you rest and your lashes are fully set, your stylist will gently remove the eye pads and use a Q-tip or cotton ball to clean away any extra glue. To speed up the drying process, my stylist use a mini fan. When I finally open my eyes, I was thrill to see how stunning my lashes look!
After a lift and tint treatment, avoid getting them wet or submerging them in water for at least 24 to 48 hours. To ensure the best results, try to avoid washing your face and hair on the same day you have your lashes apply.
For the first two days, skip steamy showers to keep your perm effective, as too much moisture can weaken it.
After 48 hours from your appointment, you’ll be amaze at how fabulous your lashes look around the clock. For an add touch of glam, you can apply one or two coats of regular mascara. However, with your lift and tint lasting so well, you might find you don’t need it at all.
To remove mascara or other facial makeup after a lash lift and tint, opt for an oil-free makeup remover. Oil-base products can break down the perming solution, affecting the results of your treatment.
Proper lash care can extend the life of your lift and tint to six to eight weeks, which is fantastic. I’m thrill with my lashes and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to streamline their makeup routine.
