5 Common Mistakes to Avoid When Doing Your Lash Lift at Home

A lash lift can instantly elevate your look by giving your natural lashes a beautifully curled, lifted appearance. While DIY lash lifts are a convenient and affordable option, achieving flawless results at home requires precision and care. Without the proper techniques, you could end up with subpar results or even damage your lashes. To ensure your lash lift comes out perfectly every time, here are five common mistakes you need to avoid when doing your lash lift at home using CLIONE PRIME products.

1. Skipping the Patch Test

 

The most common mistake many at-home users make is skipping the patch test. While you may feel confident that you’re not allergic to any products, it’s essential to test the solutions on a small area of skin before applying them to your sensitive eye area. Skipping this step can lead to irritation, redness, or even a severe allergic reaction.

Tip: Perform a patch test 24–48 hours before your lash lift by applying a small amount of the lash lift solution behind your ear or on the inside of your wrist. Check for any adverse reactions before proceeding with the full treatment.

2. Choosing the Wrong Silicone Pad Size

The size of your silicone pad plays a crucial role in determining the final curl of your lashes. Using the wrong size can result in overly curled lashes that look unnatural or underwhelming results where lashes are barely lifted.

How to Avoid It: Choose a silicone pad size based on the length of your lashes:

Take the time to assess your lash length and desired outcome before selecting the right pad.

3. Applying Too Much or Too Little Product

Another common mistake is not applying the correct amount of lash lift solution. Too much product can make the solution seep into your eyes, causing discomfort, while too little product may not lift the lashes effectively.

Pro Tip: Apply just enough product to coat the lashes evenly without over-saturating them. Always use the brush provided in your CLIONE PRIME Lash Lift Kit for precise and controlled application.

4. Incorrect Processing Time

 

Rushing the process or leaving the solution on for too long can dramatically affect your results. Each solution in the lash lift kit has a specific processing time, and deviating from these guidelines can result in either under-processed or over-processed lashes.

• Too short a processing time: Your lashes won’t achieve the lift you desire.
• Too long a processing time: You risk over-curled or even damaged lashes.

Advice: Always follow the instructions provided in your CLIONE PRIME Lash Lift Kit. Use a timer to ensure you're keeping track of how long the solution is on your lashes.

5. Neglecting Aftercare

Proper aftercare is essential to ensure your lashes stay lifted and healthy for as long as possible. Failing to care for your lashes post-treatment can cause them to fall flat or become brittle.

Aftercare Tips:

• Avoid water, steam, and makeup for the first 24 hours after your lash lift. Your lashes need time to fully set in their new shape.
• Use a nourishing lash serum like the Clione Step 3 Nourishing Lotion to keep your lashes hydrated and strong. This will help extend the life of your lash lift and maintain the health of your natural lashes.

Conclusion

Achieving a flawless lash lift at home is possible with the right techniques and attention to detail. By avoiding these five common mistakes—skipping the patch test, choosing the wrong silicone pad, misapplying the product, incorrect processing time, and neglecting aftercare—you can ensure that your DIY lash lift looks professional and lasts as long as possible.
