If you’ve just had a lash lift and are wondering whether you can wear mascara, the answer is yes! Applying mascara can enhance the results of your lash lift, making your lashes look even more voluminous and defined. However, it’s essential to follow some precautions to preserve the treatment and keep your lashes healthy and beautiful.
When to Apply Mascara After a Lash Lift
After a lash lift, it’s recommended to wait at least 24–48 hours before applying any eye makeup. This allows your lashes to fully set in their new shape. Applying mascara too early can compromise the treatment and lead to:
- Loss of curl
- Clumping or stickiness
- Irritation or allergic reactions
- Weakened lashes and premature fallout
Which Mascara to Choose
Even though the My Lamination® lash lift already gives your lashes a lifted, defined look, the right mascara can amplify the effect. Choose a water-based mascara that won’t weigh down your lashes, like MASCARA EXTREME LIFT by My Lamination®. Its gentle bristles glide smoothly over lashes, preventing clumps and ensuring even application.
Avoid waterproof formulas, as they can be too harsh, dry out lashes, and potentially weaken the lift.
If you want to add depth and intensity, a volumizing mascara like EXTREME VOLUME by My Lamination® is perfect for creating a more dramatic look.
How to Apply Mascara on Lifted Lashes
To enhance your lash lift without causing damage, follow these tips:
- Start with clean lashes: Ensure lashes are free of makeup residue or oils to help mascara adhere better and maintain the lift.
- Shake the mascara: Shake the tube well before use to mix the formula and prevent clumps.
- Remove excess product: Wipe off excess mascara from the wand on the tube’s edge to avoid over-application.
- Apply gently: Position the wand at the base of your lashes and gently sweep toward the tips for even coverage.
How to Remove Mascara Safely
Removing mascara correctly is crucial to protect your lifted lashes from damage. Use a gentle makeup remover, such as CLEANSING FOAM by My Lamination®, which dissolves makeup without compromising the lift.
- Soak a cotton pad with remover and press it lightly onto your eyelid for a few seconds—don’t rub.
- Gently swipe the pad along the length of your lashes to remove mascara with light movements.
This method maintains lash health and prolongs the results of your lift.
How to Maintain Lash Lift Results
To extend the longevity of your lash lift, My Lamination® recommends a simple yet effective care routine:
- Avoid waterproof mascaras and oil-based productsBrush your lashes daily with a clean wand, like the MASCARA BRUSH by My Lamination®, to prevent tangling
- Nourish your lashes with My Lamination® lash serums, formulated to strengthen and enhance lash beauty
By following these tips, you can keep your lashes looking perfect and make your lift last for weeks.
