What is an LVL lash lift?

Do you want your eyes to look bright, awake and lifted all the time, even without makeup? Does your mascara just not cut it for making your eyes pop? Do you want a natural alternative to eyelash extensions? If you answered yes to any of these, an LVL lash lift is the treatment for you!

What are LVL lashes?

LVL stands for length, volume and lift, and LVL lashes do exactly that. An LVL lash lift usually involves an eyelash perm and tint which work to help make your lashes appear fuller and longer.

LVL lashes typically look a lot more natural than eyelash extensions. Unlike extensions, a lash lift uses what you already have - highlighting your existing eyelashes instead of adding false ones. However, LVL lash lifts can still have dramatic, beautiful results.

After an LVL lash lift, you can expect your eyelashes to look a lot more visible and curled. If your lashes are on the straight-side, a lash lift can be a fantastic option for making them a much more prominent feature on your face.

LVL is a trademarked treatment and formula from Nouveau Lashes. It’s only available to beauty professionals who have been trained and certifiedby Nouveau. It’s regarded as the best, original lash lifting treatment.

How does an LVL lash lift work?

Your eyelashes will be coated in a special perming serum that helps curl your lashes from the root. You can choose how tight or loose you want your lashes to curl which can impact how natural your results are. After this has sat on your lashes for around 20 minutes, your technician will apply a neutraliser and then finally an eyelash tint. 

LVL lash lifts are pretty quick treatments that usually take up 45 minutes to an hour. 

How long does a lash lift last?

One of the great benefits of an LVL lash lift is that they can last anywhere from 6-8 weeks when you have followed the pre-advice. The treatment is done on your natural lashes so you won’t need to worry about them falling out as you would with traditional extensions. 

Can you still wear eye makeup?

Yes! You can still wear mascara and other eye makeup after an LVL lash list. Whilst the lift will make your eyelashes look curled and prominent on its own, you’re still able to use eye makeup as normal. It’s a good idea to wait 48 hours after the treatment before applying makeup however.  Here is some aftercare.

LVL lash lift or eyelash extensions?

LVL lash lifts are the best option if you’re after a more natural look and would prefer low-maintenance aftercare. Opt for lash extensions if you’re after a dramatic, striking look but keep in mind that the aftercare is usually a bit more involved. Unlike an LVL lash lift, you can’t wear mascara and you need to properly clean them frequently. 

Both extensions and a lash lift allow you to personalise your treatment, allowing you to achieve the look that suits you.
