Lash Lift and Mascara
When Can You Wear Mascara After a Lash Lift?
A lash lift gives you beautifully curled lashes with no need for daily effort—but what if you still want a little extra drama with mascara?
You can absolutely wear mascara after a lash lift, but timing is everything.
Wait at Least 24–48 Hours
After your lash lift, it’s important to wait 24 to 48 hours before applying mascara. This gives your lashes time to fully set and helps avoid disrupting the lift.
Using mascara too soon can weaken the results or even cause your lashes to lose their curl prematurely.
Choose the Right Formula
Once the waiting period is over, be mindful of the type of mascara you use:
Avoid waterproof mascara – it's harder to remove and may cause unnecessary rubbing or tugging.
Opt for nourishing or lash-lift-safe formulas – these are gentler on the lashes and easier to remove.
If your lash lift is paired with a tint, you might not even need mascara at all! But when you do want that added pop—just wait those first couple of days, and you’re good to go.
