Lash lifts are very popular at the moment. But there are other techniques to enhance the beauty of the eyelashes and the eyes. Lash lift aims to give the eyelashes a nice curl while keeping a natural look.

This opens the eyes and provides it softness. Unlike perms, lash lift works at the base of the lashes: this prevents them from being directed towards the ground and covering the eyes.

Steps to do an eyelash lift:

The eyelash lift is a simple treatment, but it must be done by a professional. To perform this, tiny silicon half-moons are used.

There are many different sizes available depending on the length of the hair - that is stuck to the eyelid and help to curve the root eyelash using products that, through a chemical process, open the bridges disulfide of the hair and change its waviness.

These are the steps that are usually followed:

Professionals will clean the lashes well to remove any residue and will choose the size of the silicone mold based on the size of the hair.
With special glue for the skin, the silicone mold will be placed on the upper eyelid and well glued to the root of the eyelashes.
At that moment, the fixing gel will begin to be applied hair by hair and well separated on the mold. The outcome will be that the entire upper rimnoun will stick to the silicon half-moon. The product will be allowed to react for a couple of minutes.
After that time, the applied product will be removed and a neutralizing gel will be placed, which in the same way will be allowed to act for that time and will be carefully removed.
If the eyelash lift includes tint, it will be applied in the next step. Let it act for a few minutes and clean it with a cotton ball.
Finally, the silicone is gently peeled off the upper eyelid and hair, and combed with a goupillón - a brush like the one used to apply mascara.

The 7 Most Common Eyelash Lift Procedure Problems and Mistakes One Can Make

Problem no. 1: The rising glue does not hold?

These are the most common reasons why lifting glues lack holding ability:

Eyelash lifting glue quality: pay attention to the quality of the glue;

Inappropriate pre-cleaning: If the lashes are not cleaned properly or if oil-formulated cleaners are used for the lash cleaning, the adhesive capacity of the lifting glue is reduced to half.

Primer: After pre-cleaning, lashes should be sprayed with primer again or a cleanser to remove all traces of residual oil film. Since this directly affects the process of fixing the eyelashes on the silicone pad.

This often leads to over-application of the lifting glue which adversely affects the effectiveness of the lotions applied afterward. The first of XXL Lashes is an ideal agent for cleaning and degreasing.

Lashes Not Completely Dry - Wet lashes require a lot of lifting glue for optimal holding ability. Therefore, make sure the lashes are completely dry before starting the application. An air blower can be helpful for this.

Very high humidity: while high humidity is welcome in a process of eyelash extension is exactly the opposite with the lifting tabs. High humidity is also one of the causes why the lifting glue dries incompletely and when applying the first lotion some of the already attached lashes come off the silicone pad.

This should be avoided, as it prevents the unmade lashes from setting evenly with the rest in the application process.

Use a hygrometer to check the humidity in the room, we advise you to use a dehumidifier if it exceeds 55%.

Glue: The consistency of the rising glue changes in excessively hot study spaces. It becomes more liquid. Remember therefore to keep it in a cool place.

Clean Silicone Pads - Clean, squeaky silicone pads are a prerequisite for proper adhesion. Always rinse them in hot water before applying for sterilization.

Old glue loses its adhesive quality. Therefore, always check the expiry date of your lifting glue before the scheduled application before time.

Problem no. 2: Use excess lifting glue

If excess glue is used to put on the lashes, then they “seal”. Lotions used afterward cannot properly ■■■■■■■■■ the lash hair structure and absorption is not sufficient to achieve an ideal lash lift.

Summary:

It is a technique that allows you to lift and curl your eyelashes. Unlike the extension there is no addition of false eyelashes; I work directly with your natural eyelashes.

At the level of the eyelashes of the upper eyelid, we place a small silicone patch on which we “fold” the eyelashes and fix them with special glue.

Once the eyelashes are fixed, 2 products are applied one after the other which by chemical action at the heart of the eyelash will fix the eyelashes in the position in which they are at that.
