If you’re looking for a way to enhance your natural beauty without the commitment of lash extensions, a lash lift and tint is the perfect choice. This service works with your natural lashes, giving them a beautiful lift and curl that opens up your eyes, while the tint darkens them for added definition. It’s a subtle yet stunning enhancement, perfect for those who want a polished look that still feels like ‘you.’ No need for daily mascara or the upkeep of extensions—just long-lasting, natural-looking lashes that make you feel effortlessly fabulous.
However, like any beauty treatment, following proper aftercare is a must if you want to keep your lash line full and fabulous. Here’s everything you need to know about aftercare to get the most out of eyelash tints and lifts.
The First 24–48 Hours Are Crucial
Lash tints and lifts are the ultimate low-maintenance beauty treatments—wake up with darker, lifted lashes and skip the mascara and lash curler for weeks. But even though they’re relatively easy to maintain, there is some aftercare involved to keep your lashes looking fresh and flawless. The first two days after your lash tint and lift are the most important. Your lashes are still setting into their new shape, and the tint is still stabilizing. During this time, it’s best to:
- Keep your lashes dry: Avoid water, steam, sweat, and heavy humidity. That means no hot yoga, steamy showers, or face-washing with water directly on your lashes.
- Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes: This can weaken the lift and potentially irritate your eyes.
- Skip the eye makeup: Especially mascara and eyeliner. You want to keep your lashes free from any product that could affect the tint or the lift.
- No oils or creams around the eyes: Oil can break down the lifting solution and cause the tint to fade faster.
You should also avoid rubbing them or exposing them to heat, and if you can, sleep on your back to avoid crushing your lashes. Try to keep your hands away from your lashes as much as possible!
Keep Them Clean
Be sure to add gentle cleansing to your lash lift and tint aftercare routine. Use a lash-safe cleanser and a soft brush to remove dirt, makeup residue, and oil buildup. Regular cleaning keeps your lashes clean and fluffy and also prevents irritation and buildup that are harsh on your natural lashes.
Ditch Your Mascara or Eyelash Curlers
One of the perks of lifts and tints is that you don’t need mascara—but if you decide you still do, make sure it’s water-based. Avoid oil-based mascara and eye makeup at all costs, and stash your eyelash curler.
