What is the popular eyelash lift?
introduction
Our natural eyelashes usually do not have a specific shape and point forward, which is why many women shape their eyelashes upwards with an eyelash curler.
However, the effect produced wears off as the day progresses.
With eyelash lifting, exactly this effect is achieved by treating your own natural eyelashes, but the eyelash shape lasts much longer.
The hair structure is loosened from the roots and the eyelashes are lifted upwards (lifted), making them look longer.

preparation
Numerous cosmetic studios offer eyelash lifts.
Usually you should make an appointment for this by phone.
It is important not to apply cosmetic products such as mascara, serums, creams and gels to the eyelashes before the eyelash lift.
Otherwise the applied products cannot develop their full effect on the eyelashes.
The eyelashes should be natural and clean so that the effect of the lifting is not impaired.
The eyelash lift process
At the beginning, the beautician combs the eyelashes before they are attached to a self-adhesive, slightly curved silicone sheet.
Then a lotion is applied to the eyelashes, with the help of which the hair structure is broken up, so that the eyelashes can now be brought into the desired shape.
The lotion is left to act on the eyelashes for about 20 minutes.
It is then removed again and a second solution is applied to the eyelashes.
This has the function of fixing the eyelashes in the desired shape.
After another 20 minutes, the weight is also removed from the eyelashes and the silicone sheets are removed.
Many cosmetic studios then dye the eyelashes if desired, in order to increase the effect of the eyelash lifting with darker eyelashes.
The application time is on average about 45-60 minutes and is painless.
According to the cosmetic studio, this result of the lifting should last for about six to eight weeks.

What does an eyelash lift cost?
The cost of an eyelash lift varies from cosmetic studio to cosmetic studio.
On average, you should expect 50-60 euros.

However, you should be careful, because the right hygiene and a well-trained specialist staff are essential for a clean and risk-free eyelash lift.

These are the risks / disadvantages of eyelash lifting
If the eyelash lift is carried out by a good specialist, there are usually hardly any side effects.
As with any treatment with chemical products, it can of course happen that the skin reacts allergically to them.
To avoid this, good cosmetic studios will conduct a consultation and anamnesis before treatment, in which you will be informed about possible risks and you will be asked about known allergies.
However, “do-it-yourself eyelash lifting sets” are also advertised.
The manufacturer of such product sets promises that you can easily perform such an eyelash lift on yourself at home.
The main attraction of these sets for the consumer is the price, which is usually much lower than that in beauty salons.
What is unfortunately often kept secret are the dangers posed by these DIY applications.
Since the eyelash lift is carried out on the closed eye, it is not uncommon for products to get into the eye when it is not closed completely and irritate it. In the worst case, this can lead to visual impairment.
Furthermore, a professional and complete cleaning of the eyelashes is a basic requirement for a successful eyelash lifting.
Often times, this important step cannot be done properly at home, which consequently affects the outcome.
If you have your eyelashes lifted into shape by a good specialist, you are usually on the safe side.

Who shouldn't do an eyelash lift?
If you are one of those people who find it uncomfortable when others touch you around the eyes, an eyelash lift can be difficult for you.
Because for this you have to be able to sit still for the entire duration of the application, which is approx. 45-60 minutes.
In addition, as mentioned above, chemical products are used in eyelash lifting.
If you have had allergic reactions in the past due to other treatments with chemical products, there is also a risk that allergies will occur.
What is the difference to Lashernwelle?
With eyelash lifting, the eyelashes are glued to a slightly curved silicone sheet from the base.
As a result, they are raised or “lifted” from the base, so that they appear much longer than before.
So if you want longer eyelashes, you should consider this method.
The eyelash wave method is a little longer.
You can imagine a permanent wave of the eyelashes, which ensures a nice curl of the hair and can last six to eight weeks.
Here, the focus is on bending the eyelashes, which is why different sizes of silicone rolls are available.
The eyelashes are bent into the desired shape much more than they are raised.
Overall, the effect is more natural than is the case with eyelash lifting.
Therefore, an eyelash wave is generally cheaper.
