What Exactly is a Lash Lift and Tint?
We love a minimalist makeup look. That post-hot shower glow, touched up with a little SPF and moisturizer. And whether you’ve dabbled in lash treatments before or not, the lash lift and tint is where it’s at.
What do a lash lift and tint do for the face?
There are so many cosmetic products and treatments that are taking the world by storm today. From brows to lips, you can find just about anything you’re looking for. The lash lift and tint involves applying a serum and a tint to give your lashes a more voluminous and shaded look. You can expect zero pain during this treatment, though your eyes may well with tears here and there.
Creates depth and elevates lashes to give a curled effect
If you’ve been looking to cut down on your getting-ready routine, cosmetic enhancements are the perfect medium. A lash lift and tint gives depth to the eyelids and creates a curled effect on the lashes themselves. This look is as stunning as it is practical.
Compliments the “no makeup” look or a full face
The lash lift and tint are the perfect in-between, especially for those days when you’re not interested in wearing makeup. We’re talking bare bones, roll right out of bed and into your comfiest clothes for a lazy Sunday stroll on your way to your favorite local coffee spot.
Things to know before going to your appointment
If you’re the type of person that googles the menu before going to a restaurant so that you know exactly what you’re getting into, we see you, and we’re glad you’re still reading! Getting yourself set up for a successful visit means having an idea of what to expect.
How long does a lash lift and tint last?
A lash lift, with proper care, can last anywhere from four to six weeks. Your esthetician will work with you to discuss the ins and outs of proper lash care, specifically curated for your needs and concerns.
Will the lash lift and tint work well together?
The lash lift and tint complement each other perfectly, they could only be more harmonious if they were an orchestral movement. Even though they’re great treatments on their own, together, they lift each other up. The tint gives your lashes the depth and mass you’re always trying to achieve with mascara. And without the lift, you wouldn’t have that natural curl effect each day.
What will the end results of a lash lift and tint look like?
The end result of the lash lift is our personal favorite, both as estheticians and people who love the treatment ourselves. Your eyes are lit up as if a little extra magic was sprinkled on during your appointment. You’ll notice that your makeup has to do far less to achieve the eye look you’re going for.
What happens during the lash lift and tint?
If you’ve never had a cosmetic enhancement or treatment, you’re in for a treat! It is truly a gift to be the person on the chair for many reasons, but mostly because you dedicated a little time to do something nice for yourself. And even though it may not seem like a big deal, having that little extra “oomph” when you wake up each morning puts a pep in your step.
Lashes are molded to silicone pads to create a “lifted” shape
During your visit, your esthetician will place molded silicone pads on your eyelids to build a lifted shape for your lashes. A serum conditioner will be applied to the lashes, which is used to break down protein in the hair. Your lashes are then molded onto the silicone pad or shield, so it begins to take shape. Afterward, a keratin-infused serum is applied and triggers the restoration and conditioning process.
A tint is applied as well as proteins to strengthen and condition
After your proteins are applied for strengthening and conditioning, the tint is applied and the pads are taken off. It’s just that simple. We love our lash lift and tint clients because they love how easy of an appointment this is.
Your esthetician guides you through every step
Remember, your esthetician is there to walk you through each and every step! If you have questions along the way, they’ll be right there with you to guide you through the process. If you have something you’d like to discuss, you can always reach your esthetician prior to your appointment to discuss preparation and aftercare.
