A perfect look with curled eyelashes can do a lot: it boosts self-confidence, attracts attention, and completes any makeup look. However, not every woman is blessed with naturally perfectly curled eyelashes. Fortunately, there are many ways today to give your lashes the desired curl and volume. One method is a lash lift. In this blog post, I'll cover everything important about lash lifting and give you tips and tricks for a long-lasting effect on your lashes.
What is a lash lift?
Lash lifting is a cosmetic treatment for your eyes that serves to curl and lift the lash hairs to give them a natural curve. Unlike lash extensions, no artificial hairs are applied during a lift. With the help of a special adhesive and special techniques, your own lash hairs are lifted.
An alternative to lash lifting is a lash perm. Both lash perms and lash lifts aim to provide more curl, length, and definition. The main difference between the two treatments is how the curl is created.
With a lash perm, the curl is achieved using silicone pads that are glued to the eyelid. The lash hairs are then wrapped around the pads and fixed with a special lotion.
Overall, a lash perm aims more at creating a curved effect, while a lash lift provides a natural-looking, yet effective curl of the eyelashes.
How does a lash lift work?
A lash lift is performed by a beautician. First, your lashes are cleaned and freed from any makeup residue. Then, a special adhesive is applied to your lashes. These are then pushed upwards and fixed with the help of a silicone mold. The adhesive ensures that the lashes stay in the desired position, and the silicone mold gives them the desired curvature. Afterwards, the lashes are treated with a setting lotion to stabilize the result.
What are the risks of a lash lift?
As with any cosmetic treatment, there are risks involved. Possible risks include the lashes breaking or falling out if the adhesive is not applied correctly or the silicone mold is not the right size. An allergic reaction to the adhesive cannot be ruled out either. Therefore, it is important that the treatment is performed by a professional beautician who has sufficient experience and is familiar with the necessary safety measures.
Natural, long, and full
Many women who have tried a lash lift are enthusiastic about the effect. The lashes appear longer and fuller without the need for artificial lashes. The fact that the result lasts for several weeks is also often perceived as an advantage. However, some women also report negative experiences, such as broken or falling out lashes, or an allergic reaction to the adhesive.
Let the professional do it
Since, as already mentioned, there are risks associated with lash lifting, I strongly recommend having the treatment performed by a professional beautician. An experienced beautician knows which products and techniques to use to achieve an optimal result. They also have the necessary knowledge to provide comprehensive advice, perform the treatment safely, and minimize potential risks. Anyone considering a lash lift should therefore carefully research and go to a professional beautician.
Correct and important care
To maintain a long-lasting effect, gentle care should be taken after the treatment, and aggressive cleansing agents and oils should be avoided. A promising way to complete the gentle care routine is the application of a high-quality lash serum. Such serums help your eyelashes grow healthier and stronger, which ultimately also has a positive effect on the curl and length of the hairs. However, before using a lash serum after a lift, it should be ensured that a product suitable for your own lash type is selected.
Since the serum should be applied regularly and over a longer period to achieve the desired results, it is important to inform yourself sufficiently beforehand and to familiarize yourself with the ingredients and their effects.
With the right aftercare and maintenance, you can best support the results of a lift and enjoy the expressive effect for a long time.
Why our LongLashes Serum?
Our high-quality serum has the following goals:
- To stimulate follicles and hair roots
- To enhance the growth of your eyelashes
- To refill sparse or patchy areas
- To include additional nourishing ingredients to care for skin and hair
- To build a natural protective layer against environmental factors
Our lash serum is also characterized by the fact that it is designed not only for use on the eyelashes but also as a serum for your eyebrows, as it works with the same ingredients. It not only supports eyelash care and stimulates healthy, natural eyelash growth but also serves equally for use on the eyebrows, thus covering the most important needs for both hair areas. Therefore, it is my absolute tip for your eyelashes to achieve voluminous lashes, whether with or without a lash lift.

Cost of a lift
The cost of a lash lift can vary depending on the region and provider. In Germany, the costs usually range between 50 and 100 Euros. However, the price can also depend on the experience of the beautician, the technique used, and the quality of the products used.
It is important that you not only pay attention to the price but also consider the experience and expertise of the beautician as well as the quality of the products used.
All at a glance
Overall, a lash lift is a great way to bring a natural curl to your own eyelashes. However, it is important to have the treatment performed by an experienced and qualified professional to minimize possible risks. A lash lift is particularly recommended for women who have naturally straight eyelashes or for women who, due to lack of time, do not have time for elaborate lash styling. With the right care, the result of the lash lift can be extended, and you can enjoy a perfect look for a long time.
Tips and Tricks
Before the lash lift:
- Clarify any questions beforehand: Before you decide on a lash lift, you should clarify all questions you may have beforehand. Inform yourself about the risks and side effects and, if necessary, speak to a specialist to clear up any uncertainties.
- Avoid mascara: On the day of the treatment, you should avoid mascara or other lash products, as these can impair the effect of the lash lift. A clean, un-made-up lash base is advantageous for the best result.
During the lash lift:
- Trust experienced professionals: A lash lift is a sensitive treatment that should be performed by experienced professionals. Trust the experience and expertise of qualified beauticians to achieve the best possible result.
- Relax: During the treatment, it is important that you relax and calm down. Try to concentrate on your breathing to create a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.
After the lash lift:
- Avoid moisture: After the lash lift, you should avoid moisture for at least 24 hours. This means that you should not shower, swim, or do heavy physical work.
- Care for your lashes: Gentle and nourishing aftercare is particularly important to maintain the result of the lash lift for as long as possible. It is best to use a sensitive lash serum to strengthen and nourish your lashes.
- Avoid rubbing your eyes: Avoid rubbing your eyes after the lash lift, as this can damage the lashes or impair the effect of the lash lift.
With these tips and tricks, you are well prepared for your lash lift and can look forward to a perfect result.
