Quick answer: What is Korean Lash Lift?
In Bellestore’s current assortment, Korean Lash Lift refers to a professional workflow using cysteamine-based lifting solutions, self-adhesive shields, and the option for adhesive-free application when a compatible lifting powder is used. The technique does not replace product instructions: lotion 1 and 2 must come from the same system, and processing time must always follow the manufacturer's guidelines.
What distinguishes the method from a traditional workflow?
| Part | Korean-inspired workflow | Traditional workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Shield | Self-adhesive models can be attached without separate shield glue. | Shield and lashes are often fixed using special Lash Lift glue or balm. |
| Consistency | Compatible lifting powder can make the cysteamine solution more viscous. | The solution is normally used in its standard consistency. |
| Control | Focus on clean separation, chosen shield profile, and precise application of the solution. | Same basic requirements, but fixation may require more glue handling. |
| Processing time | Determined by the selected system and the condition of the lashes. | Also determined by the product’s instructions and the condition of the lashes. |
Workflow
Korean Lash Lift step by step
01
Analyze the lashes
Assess length, direction, thickness, and previous treatments. Document the starting point and choose the target result level before selecting the shield.
02
Clean and prepare
Remove makeup, oil, and product residue. The skin and lashes must be clean for a self-adhesive shield to remain stable.
03
Select shield profile
Match the shield with lash length and desired lift. A flat profile is used when a softer lift is desired; other profiles require support in their respective product information and training.
04
Place and separate
Attach the shield near the lash root without causing discomfort. Lay the lashes in parallel and separated so that crossings are not built into the final result.
05
Prepare compatible solution
Lifting Powder in the Bellestore assortment is intended for cysteamine-based systems and should not be mixed with Lomansa, Permania, or thioglycolate-based solutions. Start with a small amount and mix evenly.
06
Follow the system faithfully
Apply step 1 and 2 according to manufacturer instructions. Do not mix solution 1 and 2 from different brands. There are no universal processing times.
07
Check and finish
Remove the products according to the system's instructions, check the separation, and use only a compatible finishing step.
08
Document
Note products, batch, times, shield model, and observations. This makes the next treatment safer and more consistent.

Common mistakes to prevent
- Wrong shield for the goal: do not choose based only on lash length but also on desired direction and profile.
- Crossed lashes: separation on the shield will be visible in the final result.
- Incorrect mixing: do not add lifting powder to a system explicitly excluded by product information.
- Mixed brands: keep solution 1 and 2 within the same system.
- Standard time for everyone: follow product instructions and make a professional assessment of the lash condition.
Frequently asked questions about Korean Lash Lift
Is glue needed for Korean Lash Lift?
Self-adhesive shields can be attached without separate glue to the eyelid. Adhesive-free application of the actual lashes requires that the chosen solution system and lifting powder are compatible.
Can Lifting Powder be mixed with all Lash Lift solutions?
No. Bellestore’s current product information states that the powder is intended for cysteamine-based systems and not for Lomansa, Permania, or thioglycolate-based solutions.
What processing time should be used?
Always follow the instructions for the specific system and the professional assessment of the client's lashes. The guide does not specify a universal time.
Can solution 1 and 2 come from different brands?
No, according to current Lashnol information: solution 1 and 2 must be used from the same brand.
