We know you’ve got questions, and we’re here to help!
In this blog, we’ll answer 7 FAQs about lash lifts so you can decide if this lash treatment is for you. Let's dive in and get those lashes lifted to new heights! 💁♀️✨
1. What Is a Lash Lift?
A lash lift gives your natural lashes a beautiful curl and lift, making them appear longer and fuller.
Instead of using an eyelash curler every morning, this semi-permanent beauty treatment reshapes your lashes using a gentle chemical process that lifts them from the root.
During the treatment, a skilled professional places your lashes onto a curved silicone rod and then applies a lifting solution that sets the curl. The result? Perfectly curled, fluttery lashes that last 6–8 weeks.
Here at The Beauty Block, we take lash health seriously!
That’s why we use the Eco System. It's a cysteamine-based product, meaning it's gentle, customizable, and designed to prioritize the health of your lashes.
Unlike harsher treatments, the Eco System minimizes damage by carefully reforming the bonds in your lashes and eliminating any residual chemicals that could lead to issues after your appointment.
It’s a win-win: stunning, lifted lashes and a healthy, damage-free experience!
2. How Long Does a Lash Lift and Tint Take?
The entire lash lift procedure typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes.
The process involves gently lifting your lashes onto a silicone shield, applying the lifting solution, and, if desired, adding a tint for darker, more defined lashes.
It’s a relaxing experience, and many clients even fall asleep!

3. How Long Does a Lash Lift Last?
One of the best things about a lash lift is how long it lasts—usually around 6–8 weeks, depending on your natural lash cycle.
Factors like your hair growth, lifestyle, and how well you follow aftercare instructions can affect the longevity of your lift. The lifted look gradually fades as your natural lashes shed and new ones grow in.
Many people schedule a touch-up every couple of months to keep that gorgeous curl.
4. Can You Wear Mascara With a Lash Lift?
Yes, you can absolutely wear mascara with a lash lift!
In fact, applying a swipe of your favorite mascara can enhance the curl even more.
However, we recommend sticking to non-waterproof mascara to avoid harsh removal methods that could weaken your lashes. Waterproof mascara often requires more aggressive rubbing, which can damage your lifted lashes.
Instead, opt for a gentle, lash serum-infused formula to nourish and keep them looking fab.
5. What Is the Aftercare for a Lash Lift?
The first 24 hours after your lash lift are crucial for setting those curls. Here’s what to keep in min
Keep your lashes dry: Avoid getting your lashes wet—skip the hot water and steam.
No eye makeup or lash serums: Hold off on using eye makeup, including mascara and lash serums, during this time.
Avoid lash curlers: There’s no need for additional lash curlers; the lift has already done the job!
Be gentle: Use a lash brush to gently comb through your lashes, keeping them fluffy and separated. Brush upwards so that you don't weaken the curl.
6. Is a Lash Lift Safe for Everyone?
A lash lift is safe for most people, but it's always best to consult your lash technician if you have any concerns.
Those with sensitive eyes, allergies, or certain eye conditions should discuss their options beforehand. The good news is that our Eco Lash Lift Custom System is designed to be as gentle as possible, minimizing potential risks and making it a great choice even for those with more delicate lashes.
7. How Is a Lash Lift Different From Lash Extensions?
While lash lifts and extensions give you that coveted long-lash look, they’re quite different.
A lash lift enhances natural lashes by curling them upward. Eyelash extensions involve attaching synthetic lashes to your existing ones for added length and volume.
Here’s a quick comparison:
Maintenance: Lash lifts require less upkeep than extensions, which need fills every 2–3 weeks.
Longevity: A lash lift lasts about 6–8 weeks, while extensions need regular maintenance to keep them full.
The look: Lash lifts enhance what you already have, offering a more natural, subtle lift. Lash extensions can give a more dramatic effect.
So, if you love a low-maintenance, natural-looking option, a lash lift is the way to go. But eyelash extensions might be your style if you’re looking for major volume and length.
