Makeup: Do not use makeup around the eye for 24 hours and avoid waterproof mascara.

Do: Avoid moisture, steam, and water for the first 24 hours. Your lashes are still quite delicate for the first 24 hours after treatment and should not be exposed to excess steam or moisture to prevent the lash lift from dropping.

Do: Avoid using shampoos, conditioners, makeups, creams, or oils on the lashes for the first 24 hours as using these products can weaken the lash lift, resulting in relaxation of the lashes.

Do: Avoid using strong, oil-based eye makeup remover for 48 hours as this may cause the lash lift to drop.

Do: Schedule your next appointment within 4-5 weeks to optimize your results.
