Can You Still Wear Mascara? Rules for Makeup With a Lash Lift

You’ve just stepped out of Lash Envy Studios in Mesa, Arizona, and your eyes look incredible. Your natural lashes are curled to perfection, opening up your face and giving you that effortless "woke up like this" vibe. But we know the question on your mind: Can I still wear mascara to add a little extra drama?

The short answer is yes! While our professional lash lift services are designed to let you ditch the curler and heavy makeup, we understand that sometimes you want that extra pop for a night out in Mesa. However, to keep that lift looking flawless for the full 6-8 weeks, there are a few golden rules you need to follow. Here is your guide to mixing mascara with your fresh lift

The 24-Hour "No-Fly" Zone

Patience is a virtue, especially right after your appointment. For the first 24 hours, your lashes are still setting into their new shape. You must keep them completely dry and free of product. Applying mascara (or getting them wet with steam or water) during this window can cause the curl to drop, undoing the magic we just created. Go bare for the first day—trust us, your fresh lift looks great on its own!

Ditch the Waterproof Formulas

If you are digging through your makeup bag, toss the waterproof mascara aside. Waterproof formulas are notoriously difficult to remove and often require oil-based removers or aggressive scrubbing. Both oil and friction are the enemies of a lasting lash lift. Instead, opt for a water-based or mineral mascara that glides on easily and washes off without a fight..

Gentle Removal is Key

When the day is done, how you take off your makeup matters just as much as what you put on. Avoid rubbing or pulling at your lashes. Use an oil-free cleanser or micellar water on a cotton pad and gently press it against your eye to dissolve the mascara before wiping away. Treat your lashes like the delicate silk they are!
