The most common eyelash lifting mistakes – and how to avoid them!

An eyelash lift can work wonders in helping your clients achieve long-lasting curled eyelashes. But sometimes it doesn't work out as desired. Here are some of the most common eyelash lift mistakes and tips on how to avoid them.

Inadequate cleaning of the eyelashes

Error: One of the basic requirements for a successful lifting is a clean base. It's amazing how often the lashes are not thoroughly cleaned before treatment, which can lead to poor adhesion of the lifting solution.

Tip: Make sure you clean and degrease your clients' eyelashes carefully before the lift. Use special eyelash cleaners that remove oil residue and make-up without damaging the eyelashes.

Wrong choice of pad size

Mistake: Choosing the wrong pad size can result in either too much or too little lifting of the lashes. A common mistake that prevents the desired result from being achieved.

Tip: Choose the size of the lifting pad carefully based on the length of your clients' eyelashes. A pad that is too small will result in an unnaturally strong swing, while a pad that is too large will minimize the lifting result. A useful trick to determine the correct pad size is to place the lifting pad on the eyelid when it is dry and lift the eyelashes onto it. This means you can easily see whether the pad is the right size for optimal lifting results. This method helps you to better assess the length of the eyelashes and the shape of the eyelid and to choose the right pad.

Eyelashes not separated correctly

Mistakes: Eyelashes that are not properly separated and placed on the lifting pad can crisscross and result in an uneven lift.

Tip: Take your time to carefully place each lash on the pad. If necessary, use tweezers to separate and position the eyelashes individually. Even distribution ensures a harmonious lifting result.

Conclusion

A perfect eyelash lift is definitely achievable if you focus on the details and avoid common mistakes. By thoroughly cleaning the lashes, choosing the right pad size and carefully separating the lashes, you are laying the foundation for impressive results that your customers will love.
