r10 What is an eyelash lift?
An eyelash lift (a.k.a. lash lift or lash perm) is a topical treatment to create an upper eyelash curl. A chemical solution that targets the keratin protein in the lashes is applied to the natural lashes to create a voluminous and defined mascara like curl in the upper lashes. The treatment lasts two to three months and both augments the lashes and refreshes the eye appearance. This low maintenance solution can replace eye makeup, mascara, and eyelash curlers.

How long does a lash lift last?
In general, a lash lift lasts for around 4 to 6 weeks, but this can vary depending on your lashes and the type of lash lift you choose. With proper care, you may be able to extend the life of your lash lift to 6 weeks.
Types of lash lift
There are several different kinds of lash lifts available. With each one, you can expect a slightly different shelf life.
With a keratin lash lift, you may notice that your lashes last for 6 weeks or more. With a length-volume-lift (LVL) treatment, your lashes may return to normal after just 6 weeks.
Yumi or keratin lash lift
A Yumi lash lift uses a keratin treatment. Keratin is a protein that naturally occurs in the hair and the nails, giving them strength and smoothness.
“Keratin lash lifts require the application of a semi-permanent curling solution to lift the lash from base to tip,” says Parcells. “However, instead of using a wand, a silicone rod covered in keratin is used to achieve the desired effect.”
Usually, this rod is left in place for around 8 minutes. Then, a serum is used to set the keratin in place.
This procedure can take around 45 to 60 minutes from start to finish.
Length-volume-lift (LVL) lash lift
“An LVL, or length-volume-lift, works to curl and volumize lashes from hair follicle root to tip,” says Parcells.
With this treatment, no keratin is used. Instead, a wand is used to apply a lifting balm, a volumizer, and then a tint. This procedure generally takes about 45 minutes to complete.
Parcells adds that some people choose to combine a keratin treatment with an LVL lash lift.
“Oftentimes, these procedures may be combined for a natural, wispy lash look,” Parcells says.
At-home lash lift
Some companies sell at-home lash lift kits, but most professionals recommend that you visit a salon.
After all, to perform a lash lift properly, your eyes should be closed throughout the procedure, so it can be pretty tricky to perform the treatment on yourself.
Plus, if you leave your treatment on for too long, you may risk damaging your eyelashes.
What to expect during the procedure
A lash lift should be entirely painless with minimal discomfort.
During the procedure:
- The aesthetician will stick down your lower lashes, separating them from the upper lashes.
- They’ll apply serum or treatment, essentially painting the lashes upward from the root onto a silicone rod to give them a lifted, lengthened look.
- They may also apply a volumizer and a tint.
- At the end, the aesthetician will clean and brush your lashes.
Altogether, the procedure should take around 45 minutes. All you have to do is close your eyes.
