What to Know About Lash & Brow Lifting
The semi-permanent treatments not only look great, but they also save a lot of time during your daily make-up routine.
Lash Lifting
An eyelash lift promises long and curved natural eyelashes without any eyelash extensions or curlers. The treatment works like a kind of permanent wave for the eyelashes and saves time in the morning during your make-up routine. The treatment uses special chemicals to lift the eyelashes upwards and give them a curl.
How does an eyelash lift work?
The cleaned eyelashes are precisely lifted with specially developed silicone pads and placed on the eyelid and combed into the desired position. Then a chemical lotion is applied that dissolves the original structure of the eyelashes. The exposure time is between 12 and 20 minutes, depending on the preparation. Then a second lotion is applied to fix the desired shape for another 12 and 20 minutes. Now, the eyelashes can also be tinted before the silicone pads are removed.
After the treatment, wash your face, put makeup on, or take it off freely.
The advantages of a lash lifting:
- Lifting effect lasts between 6-8 weeks
- Pain-free treatment that lasts approx. 45 minutes
- Eyelashes can be colored at the same time
- Wide-eyed look
- Long, curved eyelashes
- Time-saving when applying make-up
- No more eyelash curlers or mascara needed
- Suitable for everyone: It doesn't matter whether you have short, long, light, or dark eyelashes
The beauty treatment can be carried out professionally in a cosmetic studio or, if you are confident enough, at home with a lash lifting kit. The prices for professional treatments vary between $40 and $80 but lash lift kits are available from around $30.
Brow Lifting
As with lash lifting, brow lifting semi-permanently bends the eyebrows upwards and fixes them in place. The popular treatment makes the brows appear fuller and more expressive, concealing gaps and keeping fine hairs in place. Eyebrow pencils or brow gels become superfluous in your daily make-up routine.
How does a brow lift work?
In the first step, the eyebrows are cleaned and any grease residues are removed. Then the eyebrow hairs are combed up with a water-soluble adhesive and brought into position. Three different solutions are applied for about 10 minutes each. Here, again, you can use this time to tint your brows in order to achieve an even stronger look. At the end of the treatment, the eyebrows are cleaned again.
The important thing here is a sense of aesthetics. Depending on the hair density of the eyebrows and type, you have to think carefully about how the brows should be fixed in the end. From a very strong, bushy effect to a rather gently curved brow arch, anything is possible, as long as the proportions are right.
The benefits of a brow lift:
- Lifting effect lasts between four to six weeks (depending on your own hair structure and growth cycle)
- Pain-free treatment that lasts about 45 minutes
- Eyebrows can be colored during the treatment
- Perfect and expressive eyebrow shape
- Time-saving when applying make-up
- No eyebrow products necessary
When it comes to brow lifting, it is always recommended that the treatment be carried out in a cosmetic studio. Anyone who has already practiced beauty treatments can also opt for a brow-lifting kit at home. Professional treatments range between $60 to $85 while brow-lifting kits start at around $30.
Conclusion
Both beauty treatments deserve their hype because they are effective treatments that last at least four weeks and optimize the appearance of eyelashes and eyebrows. The price-performance ratio is perfect and the short treatment time of just 45 minutes is a plus point.
Since these are semi-permanent effects, you can simply try lash lifting or brow lifting and if you don't like it, the effect will decrease after four to six weeks.
