What is a Lash Lift and Tint?
A lash lift and tint is a cosmetic treatment designed to enhance your natural eyelashes. It gives the effect of lifted, voluminous lashes with a look similar to having three coats of mascara – without any effort on your part!
This procedure is a popular alternative to eyelash extensions, offering a more natural and low-maintenance option for achieving longer, darker, and more defined lashes. A lash lift and tint takes under an hour, providing a perfect opportunity for a little break during your busy day. We even encourage taking a nap during your treatment at Flutter Bomb!
Why Choose a Lash Lift and Tint?
Lash lifts and tints are a popular service at Flutter Bomb and customers often express how amazed they are with their lashes after a lift and tint.
Here are some of the benefits of a lift and tint:
- Low Maintenance: A lash lift can make short lashes look longer or give curl and definition to already long lashes.
- Long-lasting: Your lashes will stay lifted and beautifully tinted for around 6-8 weeks.
- Convenient: Enjoy lifted and tinted lashes in any situation – whether you just woke up, are heading to work, or going out for a night on the town.
- Minimal Upkeep: Besides applying a lash serum for optimal lash health, there’s zero maintenance. Say goodbye to mascara and eyelash curlers!
What to Expect During Your Lash Lift and Tint Appointment
A lash lift is essentially a perm for your eyelashes. When you book an appointment, your lash technician can answer any questions you may have.
Here’s a step-by-step overview of the process:
1. Preparation
The technician cleans your lashes and places protective pads under your eyes. A silicone rod or shield is placed on your eyelids, chosen based on the desired curl intensity.
2. Lash Positioning
Your lashes are lifted and glued onto the silicone rod or shield, ensuring they are spread evenly. The glue used is water-soluble and will be dissolved with warm water after the process.
3. Perming Solution
A perming solution is applied to your lashes to break down the hair bonds, allowing them to be reshaped. This stays on for about 10-15 minutes.
4. Setting the Curl
After removing the perming solution, a setting solution is applied to reform the bonds and lock in the new shape. This also stays on for around 10-15 minutes.
5. Tint Application
The lash technician will make a custom mixed tint which is then carefully applied to your lashes. The tint is generally left on for about 10-15 minutes or until the desired colour is achieved.
6. Tint Removal
The tint is then wiped and rinsed away, revealing darker, fuller-looking lashes. Some technicians will remove the shield/rod during this step if not removed prior. The protective pads under your eyes are then also removed.
7. Nourishment
A conditioning solution is applied to nourish the lashes and maintain their health. It is recommended to use a lash serum at home, which can be purchased separately.
Optional: Lash Keratin Treatment
For enhanced results, you can opt to add a Lash Keratin Treatment during this step. A Lash Keratin Treatment deeply nourishes, strengthens, and repairs your lashes, promoting long-term health and fullness, and is recommended with every second lash lift.
If you experience any discomfort during the treatment, such as irritation from the protective pad or tingling from the solutions, please inform your technician. These issues are quick and easy to fix.
Maximising the Benefits of Your Lash Lift and Tint
To ensure your lash lift and tint lasts as long as possible, follow these aftercare tips:
- Avoid Water: For the first 24 hours, avoid getting your lashes wet to allow the solutions to fully set. This includes swimming and steam from saunas.
- No Makeup or Harsh Products: Refrain from using mascara, oily products, or makeup removers that can weaken the lift and tint.
- Be Gentle: Avoid rubbing your eyes or sleeping on your face to maintain the curl and tint.
A lash lift and tint is a fantastic way to achieve beautiful, effortless lashes with minimal upkeep. Whether you’re looking for a natural enhancement or a dramatic change, this treatment can provide the desired results.
Lash Lift FAQs
What is a lash lift and tint?
A lash lift and tint is a beauty treatment that enhances the natural lashes. It involves perming the lashes with a special solution to create a lifted appearance, and then tinting them for added colour and definition.
Is the lash lift process safe and comfortable?
Yes, when done by a trained professional, lash lifting is safe and comfortable. Your eyes are closed during the procedure, with an eye pad placed underneath the eye for comfort and protection. The lash artist ensures a careful and precise application of products.
Can I customise the look of my lash lift?
No. The main aim of a lash lift & tint is to produce a lovely high, dark, but still natural looking, lash line. This gives you the freedom of zero maintenance for up to 2 months!
Can I use mascara after having a lash lift?
Yes, you can use mascara after having a lash lift & tint, but you may not want or need to.
With a lash lift & tint your lashes will look like you are already wearing mascara, without you lifting a finger. Some people do add a coat of mascara if going out to a special event, just to get that extra wow factor but a lash lift will have your eyes looking gorgeously made up the moment you jump out of bed in the morning.
Can I swim or exercise with my lift and tint?
Yes, you can participate in activities like swimming and exercising with a lash lift & tint. However, it’s crucial to wait at least 24 hours after your treatment before exposing your lashes to water, steam, or sweat.
Can I get a lift and tint if I have allergies or or sensitive eyes?
Individuals with allergies should consult with their lash technician beforehand. Allergic reactions to the solutions used are rare, but possible. Patch tests can be conducted to assess compatibility with the products before treatment is commenced.
How long does a lash lift and tint last?
The effects of a lash lift and tint typically last between 6 to 8 weeks, depending on individual lash growth cycles. Regular touch-ups can help maintain the lifted and tinted look.
Will a lash lift damage my natural lashes?
When performed by a skilled professional, a lash lift should not damage your natural lashes. The products used are designed to be gentle, and the procedure is carefully executed to ensure the health and integrity of your lashes. It is very important to observe the 6-8 week rule between repeating lash lifts. Your technician can advise you on when it is safe for you to have a subsequent lift. If there is still evidence of a previous lift, it is likely too soon and you may be advised (for optimum lash health) to wait a little longer between treatments.
How should I care for my lashes after a lift and tint?
After a lash lift and tint, avoid rubbing your eyes, and refrain from using oil-based products. Gently cleanse your lashes and avoid excessive heat or steam for the first 24 hours to ensure the longevity of the treatment.
