For doe-eyed beauty without having to lift a finger… Think eyelash lifting! What is it? How do you do it and maintain it? As usual, we’re on the case.
What could be more beautiful than wide-awake eyes with long lashes? Nothing (or almost nothing). Of course, we aren’t all lucky enough to be born with doe eyes, long lashes, and naturally curled lashes. For many, it takes intense mascara and an eyelash curler before they can enjoy the elegance of Hollywood-style lashes. And while we’re the type to advocate for embracing your natural beauty (by boosting lash growth with ROSELASH serum), we also love sharing the best tips for those who simply want to try out ultra-glamorous lashes.

What is an eyelash lift?
To be able to talk about it like a pro and wow your friends at a party, here are a few good tips to understand exactly what an eyelash lift is.
As the name suggests, an eyelash lift is a technique that lifts the lashes to give them a natural curl without the use of an eyelash curler or mascara! In a salon, the specialist first uses a small silicone patch that they place above the upper eyelid at the base of the lashes (as shown below). The lashes are then bonded to it using a special adhesive, giving them the desired curl.
To set this beautiful curl, the specialist applies two chemical products that work deep within the lash hair fiber to set it in this state semi-permanently. While the process may seem impressive, it is actually very simple and specially formulated not to damage the eyes or lashes.
How long does an eyelash lift take?
An eyelash lift session takes about 45 min. Some beauty salons also offer lash tinting for a stunning mascara effect on the upper lashes. In those cases, add fifteen minutes to the time.
How long does an eyelash lift last?
As for the longevity of an eyelash lift, it lasts between 6 and 8 weeks. That is much longer than wearing lash extensions. Of course, this timeframe is just an indication and can vary greatly from person to person. As always!

What is the difference between an eyelash lift and lash extensions?
An eyelash lift is a chemical process that directly improves the appearance of the lashes without adding any volume. That is the main difference with the very classic application of extensions, as the latter consists of adding false lashes to the existing ones to make them fuller. Lash extensions are preferable if you have sparse lashes.
Extensions are delicate, they require special care and, above all, regular touch-ups because the first strands can fall out after 10 days. A touch-up is then mandatory if you want to maintain a beautiful full set… Indeed, it is not uncommon to end up with a gap in your lashes as soon as the first extensions decide to fall out! Even though they are an excellent way to get your dream lashes in the blink of an eye (see: Russian volume for amazing lashes), they remain the least cost-effective solution…

What are the benefits of an eyelash lift?
The first benefit of an eyelash lift is the natural effect! Unlike extensions, which can sometimes look really superficial, this beauty technique simply enhances our natural base. Who can get an eyelash lift? Everyone, although people with long, straight lashes will get better results than those with short, sparse lashes.
Lash lifts and lash loss: should we worry?
It is a question we have every right to ask before taking the plunge with an eyelash lift… Is there a risk of partial or total lash loss? No. If the application is done professionally with approved products and the correct techniques, there is no risk of losing your lashes. As with anything, there is no such thing as zero risk, so it is best to check that you do not have an allergy to the products used. Before any application and if in doubt, do not hesitate to talk to the practitioner.
