What is Eyelash Lifting?

Eyelash lifting is a beauty procedure to add curl and volume to the eyelashes. It aims to make the eyelashes look longer and fuller. This process makes the eyelashes more prominent while preserving their natural appearance. Eyelash lifting is also commonly known as eyelash perm and is offered as an alternative to mascara or eyelash extensions.

How is it done?

The eyelash lifting process usually involves the following steps:

Cleansing: Firstly, the eyelashes are cleaned of make-up residue and oils. This is important to ensure that the procedure is effective.

Protective Placement: A protective pad is placed on your lower eyelids. This helps protect your lower eyelashes during the procedure.

Silicone Pad Selection and Application: A silicone pad of the appropriate size for your eyelashes is selected and placed on your eyelids. Your eyelashes are glued onto this pad so that the curl shape is determined.

Perm Solution Application: Perm solution is applied to your eyelashes. This solution softens the structure of the eyelashes and allows them to take shape. The solution is left on the eyelashes for a specified period of time.

Fixing Solution: After the perm solution, a fixing solution is applied to fix the new shape of the eyelashes.

Moisturising/Nutrient Application: In the final step of the procedure, a moisturising or nourishing serum can be applied to the lashes. This helps to keep the eyelashes healthy.

Things to Consider

Eyelash lifting should be performed by a professional beautician.

The procedure usually takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour.

The effect of eyelash lifting usually lasts 6-8 weeks, depending on the rate of eyelash regrowth.

It is recommended that the eyelashes should not get wet or come into contact with steam for 24 hours after the procedure.

Eyelash lifting is an excellent option for those who want to add a natural appeal to your eye make-up and make your eyelashes more prominent.

Eyelash lifting is a beauty procedure that is generally considered safe, but as with any cosmetic procedure, there are some potential risks and side effects. There is a possibility that the chemicals and processing methods used during the eyelash lifting procedure can damage the eyelashes and the surrounding skin area. The experience of the person performing the procedure and the quality of the products used can significantly reduce these risks.

Before having the eyelash lifting procedure, research should be done on the experience and competence of the person who will perform the procedure. 

Before the procedure, an allergy test against the chemicals to be used can prevent possible allergic reactions.

Care should be taken to ensure that the products to be used in the procedure are of high quality and reliable.

After the procedure, taking care of the eyelashes and following the care instructions helps to reduce potential damage.
