Long lashes have always been a dream of mine, considering the Universe decided to give me short and tiny ones. The number of mascaras I’ve purchased just to ensure my lashes are all fluttery and dreamy? Let’s just say that number is in double digits. I’ve also tried out false lashes, which were definitely not made for me. It would take me half an hour just to apply one set of em. Who’s got time for that? And yep, I tried out lash extensions too, and guess what? That didn’t work too. Enter— lash lifting!

Lash lifting is a semi-permanent solution to short lashes. Something that works out when every other solution doesn’t. Now we know that lash lifting isn’t exactly a popular process, and most of us aren’t aware of what exactly this process is and who is it for. That’s why we got Neha Jugdar, who is a resident artist at The White Door India to tell us everything about lash lifting.

The lash lifting technique is an ideal treatment to nourish, curl and lift lashes giving them maximum length and volume. It will ultimately open up your eyes, giving them a natural momentum, and strengthening the lashes for a beautiful look. This semi-permanent treatment allows you to go mascara free for over a month.

Who exactly are they for?

Lashes Lifting treatment is ideal for those whose lashes are not naturally curled and strong. They are also perfect for individuals who do not have the time to do a full face of makeup, this treatment gives them a naturally put-together look.

How are they applied?

Post consultation, Lastlifting is a four-step process, namely; 

1. Lifting

2. Neutralising

3. Tinting

4. Nourishing with the serum to strengthen the lashes.

The total duration of the treatment is around 45 minutes in totality. The results are instant and this is the perfect lunch-time treatment since there is very minimal after-care needed.

What’s the aftercare/maintenance of lash lifting?

Aftercare

  1. Do not rub your eyes & avoid touching them for 24 hours!
  2. No contact with water at all! ( Mainly washing your lashes isn’t permitted )
  3. Swimming should be avoided for 24 hours.
  4. No make-up around eyes for 24 hours.
  5. Oil-based makeup remover is encouraged for 24 hours

The best part is that after the 24 hours of aftercare are followed, there is absolutely no maintenance required. As Philashlifting is without any extra care because the goal of each treatment is to strengthen your eyelashes in the long term!

Why must one opt for lash lifting as opposed to just going with mascara?

Sometimes your lashes need an extra boost of curl and nourishment which cannot be achieved with mascara but with the lash lifting treatment. It saves your time, giving you the ‘wake up and no make-up needed’ look, with longer, stronger, darker, curled and lifting, and well-nourished lashes. With lash lifting treatment, the use of mascara is not needed. Beautiful, curled, and strong lashes without the use of mascara make every woman feel good about herself each time she sees herself in the mirror.
