A lash lift curls and lifts your own natural lashes for a wide-eyed, mascara-free look that lasts weeks. Add a tint and you can skip the mascara altogether.
Heads up: online booking lists Lash Lift under "Lash Lift and Brow Lamination", they share a category.
A lash lift is a gentle treatment that curls and lifts your natural lashes from the base, so they look longer, darker at the root and beautifully open. There are no extensions and nothing glued on, it is your own lashes made the most of, and it lasts the natural life cycle of your lashes, around six to eight weeks.
Pair it with a tint and your lashes look darker and more defined from every angle, which is why so many people stop reaching for mascara entirely. It is the low-maintenance way to wake up ready, with nothing to fill and nothing to fuss over day to day.
A lift on its own is $75. Add a tint for $85 together, and your lashes keep that lifted curl with extra depth and definition, especially good if your natural lashes are fair at the tips.
Both are lovely, they just do different jobs. Here is the honest difference so you can pick the one that fits your lashes and your routine.
| Lash Lift | Eyelash Extensions | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Curls and lifts your own natural lashes | Individual lashes added to your own |
| The look | Natural, your lashes at their best | Length and volume, up to dramatic |
| Upkeep | Nothing day to day, redo every 6 to 8 weeks | Infills every 2 to 4 weeks |
| Mascara | Optional, or add a tint and skip it | Not needed |
| From | $75 | $130 |
The honest version: if you want the lowest maintenance and you love your own lashes, choose a lift. If you want real length and drama and do not mind a top-up every few weeks, choose eyelash extensions. Still unsure? Tell us your routine and we will steer you right.

No infills, no daily routine. A lift and tint looks after itself for six to eight weeks, then you rebook when it grows out.
If you have decent natural length and just want it shown off, a lift opens up your eyes without adding a thing.
Add a tint and your lashes look dark and defined from morning to night, through the pool and the Cairns humidity.

Around six to eight weeks, which is the natural life cycle of your lashes. The lift gradually grows out as old lashes shed and new ones come through straight, rather than dropping all at once, so there is no hard cut-off. When it starts to look less lifted, that is your cue to rebook.
Done properly, no. A lift reshapes the lash rather than adding weight to it, and your lash artist uses the gentlest solution that will work and times it carefully to your lashes. The thing to avoid is over-processing, which is exactly why it is worth having it done by someone who does this all day rather than a kit at home.
Yes, once the first 24 hours are up. Most people find they do not bother, especially with a tint, which is rather the point. If you do want mascara for an event, use a gentle water-based one and skip anything waterproof, as oily removers are hard on a lift.
A lift if you want low maintenance and a natural look from your own lashes, and extensions if you want real length and volume and do not mind a top-up every few weeks. If your natural lashes are short or sparse, extensions give you more to work with. We are happy to look at your lashes and give you an honest recommendation either way.
Keep them dry and avoid steam, saunas and heavy sweat for the first 24 hours while the lift sets. After that there is almost nothing to do: brush them through with a clean spoolie now and then, avoid oil-based products right on the lashes, and that is it. A lash serum can help keep your natural lashes strong between lifts.
Give them a full 24 hours before water, steam or a workout that makes you sweat. The lift needs that time to set into its new shape. After the first day they are fine in the shower, the pool and the ocean, which makes a lift a great low-fuss option for a Cairns summer.
