More expression for your eyes

What is Lash Lifting?

Lash lifting is the go‑to trick for anyone who wants a more dramatic eye look without wearing false lashes or applying mascara daily. With this innovative method, the natural lashes are gently lifted upwards using a special gel and permanently set in place. As a result, they appear longer, fuller and more curled. The effect is similar to using an eyelash curler, but you skip the morning effort and the result lasts much longer.

Unlike extensions, lash lifting keeps everything natural. Nothing is glued on — the full potential of your own lashes is used. The result lasts around 6 to 8 weeks, depending on individual lash growth.

Is lash lifting harmful to the lashes?

A professionally performed lash lift is generally not harmful and can even be beneficial. When done correctly, it’s a gentle way to add lift and length to natural lashes without gluing or weighing them down.

That said, lash lifting involves chemical products. If these are applied improperly — for example by inexperienced hands or with low‑quality products — skin irritation or brittle lashes can occur. It’s therefore advisable to avoid DIY kits and rely on the expertise of an experienced stylist or professional beautician.

What is an eyelash extension?

It sounds glamorous, but it’s already part of the daily routine for many beauty fans — often combined with eyebrow styling to perfect the overall facial expression. With this popular method, individual fine synthetic lashes are glued onto your natural lashes. The result is a striking eye look with noticeably more length, volume and density — all without mascara.

Eyelash extensions can be customised to suit your preferences. That way your eyes are always perfectly showcased.

What should you consider before getting extensions?

To ensure that new lash extensions not only look great but also last, proper preparation is essential. The most important thing is that the natural lashes are clean, make‑up free and free of oils or greasy care products. Mascara or rich creams can significantly affect the adhesion of synthetic lashes, making them less durable and less satisfying.

You should also avoid using an eyelash curler before the appointment. Pre‑curled lashes can make applying extensions more difficult and negatively affect the final result. If you plan to tint your natural lashes, leave at least two days before the extension appointment to avoid overstressing the lashes.

It’s therefore best to come to your appointment with lashes as natural and untreated as possible so the styling works well and you get a great look.

Do extensions damage my natural lashes?

Of course, nobody wants weakened natural lashes in exchange for dream‑like length. The honest answer is: it depends on how the extension is applied — and especially how often and with what products.

In professional salons, synthetic lashes are glued individually to each natural lash. For very voluminous looks, however, the weight of the extensions can become a strain on the lash roots — particularly if they are worn constantly without giving the natural lashes a break.

Another critical point is the adhesive used. Salon adhesives act similarly to superglues — fast and strong, but sometimes aggressive. Some people even react with irritation or allergies. Those who opt for gentler alternatives, such as DIY extensions with lighter fibres and more flexible adhesives, are gentler on their lashes — provided the application is correct.

To enjoy a stunning eye look without damaging your natural lashes, it’s important to give them regular rest periods, use nourishing serums or oils and prioritise quality over quantity.

How can you make false lashes last longer?

Eyelash extensions can simplify your beauty routine — provided they deliver on their promise. To stop your stunning eye look from fading after just a few days, proper care is key. With a little attention, the lifespan of extensions can be significantly extended — saving you money in the long run.

For optimal retention, it’s important to avoid oil‑based care products, mascara, eyelash curlers and lash serums 24 hours before the treatment. Anything that makes the lashes greasy or “treated” can affect extension adhesion.

After the lash service, patience is required. No water, steam or sauna should contact the lashes. The adhesive needs a full 48 hours to cure completely. During this time, avoid heat or humidity on the lashes, including heavy sweating or hot showers on the face.

The eye area should be gently cleaned daily with a special oil‑free lash shampoo. Do not rub or scrub. For removing make‑up, use only water‑based products; oil‑based removers are a no‑go.

Avoid eyelash curlers and mascara altogether, as they can loosen the adhesive or damage the extensions. Your sleeping position also matters. The best protection is sleeping on your back so lashes are not pressed against the pillow and keep their shape.

When should lashes be refilled?

To keep an extension looking consistently beautiful and even, regular refills are indispensable. About three to four weeks after the first appointment, the natural lash cycle starts to show. Individual extensions fall out, small gaps appear and the perfect curl slowly fades.

A refill is designed for exactly that. Instead of applying a whole new set, only the fallen lashes are replaced. This saves time — the appointment usually takes around an hour — and keeps the look full and well‑groomed. Regular refills also prevent the extension from looking patchy or “holey”, allowing you to enjoy a perfect lash line for longer.

Are extensions suitable for contact lens wearers?

Yes, contact lenses and lash extensions do not exclude each other. However, if you wear both, you should observe a few precautions to avoid irritation and preserve the extensions’ longevity.

Before the treatment, contact lenses must be removed. This ensures that adhesive does not accidentally get on the lens, which would be both uncomfortable and potentially risky. In daily life, exercise some care as well: inserting and removing lenses may unintentionally touch or loosen synthetic lashes, which can affect how long they last.

What are Clip On Lashes?

Clip‑on lashes are the convenient everyday heroes among false lashes. They’re perfect for anyone who wants instant volume and expression without glue, salon appointments or complex techniques.

Unlike conventional synthetic lashes that are fixed with special adhesive, clip‑on lashes are attached using a small magnetic mechanism or clever clips. They’re easy to put on and remove without leaving residue or causing irritation, making them ideal for sensitive users or anyone who wants to protect their natural lashes.

Whether for a special event, a spontaneous date or just daily wow factor, clip‑on lashes deliver a seductive eye look without the beauty stress.

Lash styling: how to keep your lashes beautiful for longer

• Pay attention to the first 24 hours after a lash lift. After the treatment your lashes should not come into contact with water or care products. This allows the lift to set properly and gives you much longer enjoyment of the result. Patience pays off — afterwards the lashes hold their lovely shape for weeks.
• Use only high‑quality products. Whether for lash lifting or applying synthetic lashes, quality makes the difference. Products with tested ingredients and quality seals are not only safer but also deliver a nicer, longer‑lasting result.
• Schedule refills in good time. Extensions generally last three to four weeks, after which gaps begin to appear. Regular refills keep your look dense and even.
• Choose specialised cleansing. To prolong the life of false lashes, clean them at least once a week with a gentle, oil‑free lash shampoo. This removes make‑up residue, dirt particles and prevents matting.
• Brush your lashes regularly. A small brush in your daily routine can work wonders. If you comb your lashes gently every day, they stay in shape, don’t stick together and always look freshly styled.
• Avoid eyelash curlers. Extensions and lash lifts provide a natural curl. A curler would only stress the adhesive points and cause the synthetic fibres to break sooner.
• If you still want to use mascara with extensions, apply it only to the tips. This intensifies the look without jeopardising the lashes’ retention.
• Sleep in the right position. Your sleeping posture affects the lifespan of lashes. The back‑lying position is best because lashes are not pressed against the pillow and keep their shape.
• Avoid rubbing your eyes vigorously or picking at your lashes. Such habits can loosen extensions and weaken natural lashes.
• Try different styles. Shorter, finer extensions often look more natural, while longer, voluminous variants create more drama. Get advice on which look suits your face and your daily life.
• Support the growth of your natural lashes. A nourishing lash serum with vitamins, hydrolysates and oils strengthens the hairs from within. That way your natural lashes stay healthy and strong even with regular lash styling.

Lash styling opens up countless possibilities to emphasise your gaze — whether with a subtle lift, voluminous extensions or practical clip‑on lashes. The key is always quality and proper care so that your natural lashes remain healthy and beautiful. With the right styling you not only highlight your eyes but also give your whole expression more radiance and confidence.
