Lash Lift vs Lash Extensions: Which One Is Right for You?

Trying to decide between a lash lift and lash extensions?

Both will leave you with beautiful lashes, but the right choice depends on your natural lashes, lifestyle, and the look you’re going for. Let’s break it down!

Lash Lift: Natural & Low Maintenance

A lash lift is like a perm for your natural lashes. It curls and lifts them to make your eyes look more open—no mascara needed!

Best for you if:

• You already have medium to long natural lashes

• You want a super natural “no-makeup” look

• You prefer low maintenance beauty routines

• You’re sensitive to lash adhesives or want something quick

Lasts: About 6–8 weeks

Maintenance: None (just no water or steam for 24 hours after!)

Lash Extensions: Bold & Glam

Lash extensions are individual synthetic lashes attached to your natural lashes to add length, curl, and volume.

Best for you if:

• You want a full glam or dramatic look

• You have sparse or short lashes and want more definition

• You don’t want to wear mascara

• You love the “wake up and go” beauty life

Lasts: 2–3 weeks before a fill

Maintenance: Brush daily and avoid oil-based products

So… Which Should You Choose?

Go with a lash lift if:

• You want a natural, soft look

• You already have medium to long lashes

• You prefer something low maintenance

Go with lash extensions if:

• You want bold, dramatic lashes

• Your natural lashes are short or sparse

• You love a fuller, done-up look with no daily effort
