Lash Lift Aftercare: Tips to Keep Your Lashes Lifted & Beautiful

If your mascara and lash curler aren’t cutting it anymore, a lash lift might be exactly what your routine needs. This low-maintenance, eye-brightening treatment offers a natural curl that lasts for weeks—no falsies required.

Whether you’re new to lash lifts or just had your first one, proper aftercare is key to keeping your results gorgeous and long-lasting. At Brow Heaven, the go-to Orange County beauty salon with locations in Long Beach and now Santa Ana, we specialize in safe, gentle lash lifts and are here to walk you through how to care for your lashes like a pro.

What Is a Lash Lift (and Tint)?

A lash lift is like a perm for your natural lashes. Our trained estheticians use safe, silicone lifting rods to gently curl your lashes upward, making your eyes appear bigger and more awake. The treatment takes under an hour and results can last up to 6–8 weeks.

Want to elevate your look even more? Combine your lash lift with a lash tint. This quick add-on gives your lashes rich, dark color—so you can skip the mascara completely. At Brow Heaven, we customize every lash tint to suit your skin tone, eye color, and style.

How Long Does a Lash Lift Last?

Most clients enjoy the results for about 4–6 weeks, depending on your lash growth cycle. With proper aftercare, you can maximize your lift and keep that freshly done look for as long as possible.

Lash Lift Aftercare: What to Do (and Avoid)

The first 24–48 hours after your lift are the most important. Here’s what you need to know:

✅ DO:

• Keep your lashes completely dry for the first 24 hours.
  
• Avoid steam, hot showers, saunas, and sweat for at least 48 hours.
  
• Sleep on your back if possible to avoid crushing your lashes.
  
• Brush your lashes daily with a clean spoolie to maintain shape.
  

🚫 DON’T:

• Rub or touch your eyes excessively.
  
• Use oil-based products or waterproof mascara.
  
• Apply eye makeup within 24 hours of your appointment.
  
• Get facials or use harsh skin treatments near your eyes.
  

Your lashes need time to “set” after treatment. Following these steps helps lock in the curl and prevents damage to your natural lashes.

Can I Wear Makeup After a Lash Lift?

Yes—but wait 24 hours. When you’re ready to apply mascara or eyeliner, opt for oil-free formulas. Oils can weaken the lift and shorten its lifespan. Most clients find they don’t need mascara at all thanks to the tint!

Lash Lift vs. Lash Extensions: Which Is Better?

While extensions add artificial volume, lash lifts enhance your natural lashes. They’re lower maintenance, more affordable, and better for long-term lash health.

At Brow Heaven, we recommend lash lifts for anyone wanting a soft, natural look with minimal upkeep. Bonus: there’s no adhesive or heavy maintenance involved.

Bonus Care: Brow & Lash Tinting Tips

We often pair lash lifts with a brow tint to complete the look. If you’ve also had your brows tinted:

• Avoid moisture and makeup near the brows for 24 hours.
  
• Skip exfoliating products near the area for at least 48 hours.
  
• Use gentle, sulfate-free cleansers to prolong the tint.
