What's The Difference Between Lash Lift and Tint vs Eyelash Extensions?

The yearning to have voluminous, long and fluttery eyelashes is the dream of every woman and one of the most popular beauty treatment that never seems to lose luster.

With popular celebrities like Selena Gomez, Kylie Jenner, Ariana Grande, Megan fox and more rocking full and gravity-defying eyelashes, it is not surprising that they have sparked an insatiable thirst for many of us to recreate the same striking look.

In theory, to achieve the look seems pretty simple enough. Simply purchase a bottle of mascara and a pair of eyelash curler and get cracking. However, in reality, all that effort placed into curling one's lashes in the morning only to find it stick, flat-out straight in an hour gets rather frustrating.

Most ladies, at a point in time, have also dealt with situations like smudgy, runny mascara and damaged lashes due to the constant clamping pressure from an eyelash curler or harsh removal of water-resistant mascara.

Good news is, with the help of trained beauticians and a plethora of choices available, your call for a solution have been answered. The big question is - Should you opt for a eyelash lift or eyelash extensions? Let's look at the main differences to help you make your pick.

 

APPLICATION, CUSTOMISATION AND EFFECT

Eyelash extensions are individual faux lashes applied and bonded individually to your natural lashes with a medical grade adhesive. The process is extremely meticulous and complex and takes about 2 hours to complete depending on the level of volume that you desire to achieve your lash goals. 

The perk of choosing extensions is that the length, curl and volume can be fully customized to suit not just your eye shape but personal preference. For instance, if you have sparse lashes but want to achieve a voluminous set, you can simply opt to add 6 extensions onto 1 natural lash to create a fuller look. (6D).  Likewise, if you are naturally blessed with a good set of natural lashes and just want a little oomph, you can simply opt to go for a set which adheres only 1 extensions to 1 natural lash (1D) or 2 extensions to a natural lash (2D). 

On the other hand, a lash lift curls your natural lashes, giving them a boost of keratin depending on the products used which essentially makes it both a treatment and service all in one. Lashes are usually curled first using a bonding formula along with a lash shield, followed by a keratin infusion and ends of with a tint which darkens and intensifies your natural lashes.

Lash lifts are perfect for clients who already have a good amount of natural lashes to work with. Treatment takes about an hour and is extremely relaxing with most clients using this time to take a beauty nap. 

 

UPKEEP

While both treatments are relatively low maintenance, it is good to know the slight difference between them.

If you find yourself in awe of someone's full and perfect lashes, chances are, she has extensions on. To keep them looking full and fluffy, a monthly infill is required. A huge advantage to having lash extensions is that now, you can set your morning alarm later and still look perfectly made up when you rise, even without a pinch of mascara. Simply comb and wash them gently daily to keep them clean, in shape, oil and debris free.

Lash lifts are even lower maintenance in the sense that you only need to come back to get them done after they've grown out. In this case, it means your next session can be scheduled roughly between 8-12 weeks after you've first got them lifted. With your lift going strong and all your kinks and twisted lashes curled to perfection, all you simply need to go is slap on a coat of mascara to get the perfect, natural, make-up no make-up look.

 

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, lash extensions tend to have a wide range of customizable options with results that are more enhanced as compared to lash lifts, which tend to be rather natural. For someone who loves wearing make up, lash extensions is the perfect complimentary treatment and shaves off tons of time in your make up routine. For clients who prefer the natural, fresh and light made up look, lash lifts are the way to go.
