Lifted and Laminated: Lash Lift and Brow Lamination Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe lash lifts and brow lamination. Writers describe what brought them in — lashes that pointed straight down or brushed their glasses, grey lashes in their fifties, brows over-plucked in their teens, curly brows that would not lie flat, a wedding, a mask worn through twelve-hour shifts — and the patch test some skipped and regretted. There is the appointment: the shields and adhesive, two timed lotions, the smell, the tint, and the hand mirror. Writers describe the startled-doll look that needed a gentler second try, brows like two stiff brushes after over-processing, lotion that got into an eye, and a home kit that fried lashes, alongside many who found it the simplest beauty habit they had. Most report several weeks of low-effort results, softening as hairs shed. Later chapters cover men in the chair, swimmers and cyclists, a first treatment at sixty-one, moving over from extensions after a glue reaction, waiting for an oncologist's agreement, menopause, a teenager who wanted it, technicians on what they tell new clients, a sceptic reading the ingredient list, and the cost of upkeep.

Who it's for

For anyone considering a lash lift or brow lamination, people with sensitive eyes, glasses or contact lenses, former extension wearers looking for something gentler, and readers deciding whether the upkeep is worth it.
