Long, curled lashes can instantly make your eyes look brighter and more awake. Two popular treatments that help achieve this look are an eyelash lift and an eyelash perm. While they may seem similar, there are some key differences between the two.
What Is an Eyelash Lift?
An eyelash lift is a treatment that lifts and curls your natural lashes from the root, creating a longer, more lifted appearance. Silicone shields are used to shape the lashes upward, resulting in a natural-looking curl that opens up the eyes.
Benefits of an Eyelash Lift:
- Creates a natural, lifted look
- Makes lashes appear longer
- Low maintenance
- Can be combined with a lash tint for added definition
- Results typically last 6–8 weeks
What Is an Eyelash Perm?
An eyelash perm also curls your natural lashes, but it uses a traditional perming technique with a cylindrical rod. This creates a more uniform curl throughout the lash rather than lifting it from the base.
Benefits of an Eyelash Perm:
- Adds noticeable curl to straight lashes
- Helps lashes maintain their shape without a lash curler
- Results can last 6–8 weeks
Key Differeneces
| EYELASH LIFT | EYELASH PERM |
|---|---|
| Lifts lashes from the root | Curls lashes around a rod |
| Creates a natural, elongated look | Creates a more pronounced curl |
| Makes lashes appear longer | Focuses on curl rather than length |
| Modern technique | Traditional technique |
| Suitable for most lash lengths | Best for medium to long lashes |
Which Treatment Is Right for You?
If you want a natural, eye-opening effect that makes your lashes look longer, an eyelash lift is usually the preferred choice. If your main goal is achieving a stronger curl, an eyelash perm may be a better option.
