Lash Lift Retention: Discover 4 effective ways to make a lash lift last longer
Lash lifts are a fantastic solution for anyone who wants to achieve lifted, curled, and longer looking lashes without the hassle of applying falsies or extensions. This gentle, non-invasive treatment typically lasts for 3-6 weeks, although retention may vary depending on your lash lift aftercare routine and the quality of the lash potions used. In this guide, we share 4 easy yet effective ways to refresh a lash lift and make it last longer. Trust us, we understand how hard it can be to find the time to go for touch-up sessions.
Follow proper lash lift aftercare
A lash lift requires you to avoid getting your lashes wet for 24 hours post-treatment, which means you can't wash your face or apply makeup on the eye area during this period. Following the aftercare guidelines closely will help keep the lash lift shape intact, reduce the risk of irritation and infection, and allow your lashes to set in place. You may speak with your Beauty Consultant about aftercare and her tips for longer retention!
Add-on a tint to your lash lift
One way to keep your lashes looking fuller for longer is by opting for a tint during your treatment - here at The First Refresh, we do this for you! Our Lash Lift includes a complimentary lash tint for more defined-looking lashes. A tint will enhance the effect of the lash lift, making your lashes look thicker, longer, and darker - giving them that always-on mascara look. Unlike mascara, it takes no time at all and won’t smudge or run, withstanding the hot and humid environment in Singapore.

Apply a lash serum
Another way to improve lash lift retention is to apply a lash serum daily. A good lash serum will contain ingredients that promote healthy lash growth and prevent breakage - it's like a hair conditioner for your lashes, making them look healthier and lusher. Follow serum directions for best results!

Avoid rubbing your eyes
Rubbing your eyes can cause the lash lift to lose its curl and shape. It can also irritate the eyes and damage the lashes. If your eyes are feeling itchy or you have the urge to rub your eyes, resist the temptation and use eye drops instead. Also, it’s best to avoid using oil-based makeup removers or oily products near the eye area.
In all, a lash lift is an excellent investment for busy women who still want to look fabulous without taking time in the morning for mascara application. With these tips, you can rock a killer lash game for weeks!
