LASH LIFT FAQ 

 

What is a Lash Lift?

A Lash Lift is the process of restructuring the natural lashes to create a beautiful semi-permanent curl and lift, mimicking lashes that have been curled by an eyelash curler but better! Results last between 4-8 weeks, depending on aftercare and the client’s natural lash growth rate.

Results are customizable, but also highly dependent on the length and fullness of the client’s natural lashes. For example, the longer the lashes, the more intense the curl would be; the shorter the lashes, the less intense the curl would be.

At Beauty by Leanne, we use The Lash Shop’s Instant Lash Lift System, a revolutionary lift system that provides a consistent lift and repairs the lash from inside out. It is manufactured with the highest quality ingredients, ensuring a consistent curl every time. Beauty by Leanne’s lash lifts also include a 24K Karat Glaze (antioxidants, nourishing agents, and vitamins, leaving lashes instantly healthier and softer) and a Keratin Sealant (keratin-infused conditioning serum that prevents lash damage and drying effects).


 
 

What is a Lash Tint?

A Lash Tint service is simply adding a tint of colour to your natural lashes, which helps to darken and define them. Results lasts up to 6 weeks. We only offer black coloured tints, which is the most classic and widely used option.

If you light natural lashes like blonde, light brown, or grey natural lashes, this service is a great add-on to your Lash Lift service. The results are a notice enhancement in the look of your eyes and lashes.


 
 

What are the benefits of a Lash lift?

- It helps to open up the eyes to make them appear more refreshed, awake and larger!

- It exposes all of your natural lash length for that wow factor, especially if they’re naturally long but downturn

- It reduces the need of using an eyelash curler, which can cause a lot of natural lash damage with poor application

- It is a great alternative to eyelash extensions, especially if you are taking a break, allergic to them, do not like the regular maintenance, or a simpler aftercare

- It is a more natural eyelash enhancement as your natural lashes remain the same except lifted and curled which means you can apply mascara to them!

- It is a quicker service which is great for those who cannot lay down for long periods

Can I get a Lash Lift if I have very short natural lashes?

Yes, many clients have enjoyed the results of a lash lift even with shorter lashes. Overall outcomes of the lift will depend on your natural lashes. We recommend combining the art of lash lifting with consistent use of a high quality eyelash serum to get the most incredible lift results!


 
 

How often can I get a Lash Lift?

Over time, the lift of the natural lashes will drop as the natural lashes grows out daily.

You can get your lashed re-lifted every 6-12 weeks; it depends on the individual and their natural lash growth cycles. For example, clients with fast natural lash cycles can come in every 6 weeks.

It’s best to wait until most of your lashes have grown out to get a relift.


 
 

What are the Pre-Care instructions for a Lash Lift?

How to prepare for your Lash Lift service:

  • Arrive COMPLETELY FREE of all eye makeup  - especially NO mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow.

  • Do not use waterproof mascara or curl your lashes 5 days before treatment.

  • Avoid caffeine – it can cause fluttery eyes, which can cause the lotions to seep into the eye during the appointment.


 
 

What is the aftercare for a Lash Lift?

Long lasting results are 50% procedure and 50% aftercare. Your Lash Lift aftercare is as follows:

  • Avoid for 24 hours - water, cleansers, steam, heat, makeup, intense sweating

  • After 24 hours - you may use makeup, skincare products, lash serums on the eye area

  • Condition lashes daily with an appropriate eyelash conditioner or castor oil

  • Avoid sleeping on lashes or your face (constant pressure will result in unruly lashes)

  • Avoid rubbing or picking at the eyes 

  • Advised to use non-waterproof mascara as the removal of waterproof mascaras can be harsh on the lashes and weaken the lift


 
 

What if I have sensitive eyes?

A Patch Test is highly recommended and is to be booked 1-2 weeks prior to your eyelash appointment. Please note that although you have taken this precautionary step and obtained a negative patch test result, allergies can occur at any time with repeated exposure.
