Can You Wear Mascara With a Lash Lift?

Lash Lifting

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at January 18th, 2022

Wearing mascara is a great way to accentuate your eyelashes, but there are other ways to treat your lashes and personalize your style. Can You Wear Mascara With a Lash Lift? Lash lifts are low-maintenance adjustments that curl your lashes into a specific shape to match your facial features. Beautiful, convenient, and durable lash lifts add an elevated presence and style to your lashes. With that said, there are some things to keep in mind after a lash lift. To maintain your lashes, it’s important to follow an aftercare process.

Can You Wear Mascara With a Lash Lift - Lash Lift Aftercare

You can wear mascara with a lash lift to answer the main question; the key to success is the type of mascara you apply and how you care for your lashes following the procedure! The first 24 hours after a lash lift are crucial to their longevity. Don't get any water on your eyes for the first 24 hours after a lash lift. Try your best to avoid itching or scratching your eyelids. While this can be difficult for people who sleep on their stomachs, do your best to avoid sleeping on your face.

Regular Maintenance

Your daily routine can become a little less strict once the first 24 hours have passed, but it’s still important to care for your lashes regularly. You can take certain steps to keep them healthy and strong before your next appointment. Try your best to avoid hot and/or steamy showers since the moisture can ruin the shape of your eyebrows. Avoid using oil-based products near your lashes and try not to expose them to direct UV light.

Type of Mascara

Done correctly, you shouldn’t have to use mascara after a lash lift. But, if you choose to wear mascara, make sure it’s water-based! Avoid purchasing waterproof mascara since it’s difficult to remove. You want to avoid touching your eyes as it is, so attempting to remove mascara can greatly damage your lash lift.

Caring for Your Lashes

Lash lifts are low-maintenance, but if you want to make sure they last until your next appointment, consider the following care recommendations:
  • After the first 24 hours, condition your lashes daily!
    • Lash lifts are a chemical process that can be drying so we recommend using castor oil or a lash conditioner after the 24hrs to maintain their strength and structure.
  • Avoid saunas and steam rooms
  • Wear less makeup, particularly around your eyelashes
  • Avoid swimming underwater
  • Regularly brush your lashes
