GUIDE TO USING KOREAN LASH LIFT KIT
In this guide, you'll get a simple, step-by-step walkthrough on how to properly use a Korean Lash Lift kit to achieve a perfect lifted look, while keeping lash health the priority.
PREP
Just like with lash extensions, a lash lift requires a clean base and proper lower lash protection.
- Use a lash shampoo to remove all makeup, oil, skincare, and impurities.
- Pat lashes dry gently.
- Isolate bottom lashes with under-eye tape, gel pads, or your preferred product to prevent contact with the lifting solutions.
- Place the ultra-thin flat silicone shield onto the eyelid. Make sure it sits close to the base of the upper lash line and is secured firmly against the lid.
Pro tip: Take your time with shield placement. Even if the rest of the service is performed perfectly, incorrect shield placement can compromise the final result.
LIFT
For a Korean lash lift, this stage should be approached conservatively. The goal is to stop as soon as the lashes are ready, following a lash-health-first approach. Different lashes require different processing times:
- Fine: 7-9 minutes
- Medium: 9-11 minutes
- Coarse: 11-14 minutes
But remember: observe the lashes directly rather than relying solely on time ranges.
- Mix Cysteamine lift lotion and glue powder in a ratio of 3:1.
- Wait for 20-30 seconds for it to mix well, and apply it root to tip.
- Depending on lash texture, lift & processing time ranges from 10-15 minutes.
- Remove with a damp disposable and wipe dry.
Key Check: When removing the lift solution, the lashes should remain neat, separated and as close to the intended direction as possible.
FIXING
During this step, the fixing lotion reforms and stabilizes the lashes into their new lifted shape.
- Apply your chosen shield to the lid.
- Mix fix lotion and glue powder in a ratio of 3:1.
- Wait for 20-30 secs for it to mix well, and apply it from root to tip.
- Depending on lash texture, stay time ranges from 7-9 minutes.
- Wipe away solution with a damp disposable. Approach this step carefully to avoid unnecessary friction.
Key check: At this point, the lashes should look lifted, smooth, and refined. If anything feels slightly off, pause and identify the likely cause before proceeding.
NOURISH
The final step is the nourishing lotion, a restorative finish that brings back softness and flexibility to the lashes.
- Use the brush or a clean applicator to apply nourishing lotion to the lashes.
- Gently distribute the product.
- Leave on for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove excess with BRUSH & Y COMB. Do not use water.
FINAL THOUGHTS
A Korean lash lift is all about intention, achieving a soft, elevated look with attentiveness and care. When done correctly, the lashes are properly lifted without damage.
