Whether you’re booking your first lift soon or have been religiously maintaining yours for a while, you find helpful answers and strategies within. By keeping lift-friendly mascara habits, we can all enjoy seamless makeup routines and perky, curled lashes that last. Let’s get started exploring ways to work mascara magic on lifted lashes.
When you get a lash lift, allow your lifted lashes time to set before applying mascara. Immediately following your appointment, it’s best to avoid all lash products for 24 hours as the treatment solution works its magic and curls your lashes into an upward sweep. After one day, it’s generally fine to start using mascara again. However, be very gentle when applying it. Look for a soft, low-impact formula that won’t weigh down your lifted lashes or cause them to droop. Curler-based mascaras tend to work well. Mascaras labeled as “curling” is also a good post-lift option.
