What IS a YUMI™ Lash Lift?!???
Summer is just around the corner (finally!) in the Pacific Northwest and that means, boating, camping, hiking and basically not wearing a ton of makeup. If you're anything like me, I only wear SPF, tinted moisturizer, blush, curl my eyelashes and apply at least two coats of mascara.
I've tried eyelash extensions and I love how they look for the first week.... then I literally start to pull them off! I know, I know, I'm not supposed to pull them off, but I get annoyed at them. I'm a stomach sleeper, eye-rubber, and I love to stick my face under the hot shower, all of which is a huge No-No when you get eyelash extensions. Not to mention, you have to get them filled every few weeks, otherwise, they start to look a bit spidery. I never made it that far along because I pulled it all out of my eyes!
Then I tried the YUMI™ Eyelash Lift and Tint. Oh My Goodness... it's AH-MAZING!!! I loved how it looked on my eyelashes that I thought to myself “I must learn how to do this so I can have EVERYONE feel the same way I feel about my eyelashes as I do now”
I'm proud to say I have been a certified YUMI™ Eyelash Lift Technician since February 2017!!
What IS a YUMI™ Lash Lift and Tint you ask?
It's an enhancement of your natural eyelashes without the use of harsh chemicals, formaldehyde or parabens. Seriously, who wants that near your eyeballs?? The best part is that it will last 8-12 WEEKS, the natural cycle of your eyelashes. For me, I loved how I can wash and rub my eyes, sleep on my stomach and my eyelashes looked like I had curled and used mascara on them. Instant eye lift without doing anything!!
YUMI™ Lashes supplies to make some magic on your eyelashes
How does it work?
I glue your eyelashes onto a silicon pad, each customized for your own eyelashes. They get sculpted and separated at the root, making sure each eyelash is straight and not clumped together. This part gets a bit science-y; a series of patent technology cream products gets applied on your eyelashes and does its magic. It targets the keratin in your eyelash hairs so it can be manipulated and stays like that. Side note- because of this process some people are calling it a Keratin Lash Lift. After I wipe off the magic cream, I use the YUMI™ brand of tints and tint your eyelashes, giving it a mascara-like look. Once I clean up your eyelashes, I give it a sweep of nourishing mascara and give you the mirror. Every single one of my clients first words are "Wow!" or "Oh my God!" and they stare in disbelief that what they are seeing are their OWN eyelashes. With those types of reactions from my clients (and myself) when first looked in the mirror, wouldn't you want to try it for yourself??
Before and After the YUMI™ Lash Lift and Tint
Yes, there are other eyelash lift brands out on the market but I personally chose to train with the YUMI™ brand because it is the first company to create and patent this technology in 2008. That's more than 10years ago!!!!! The YUMI™ brand is proven to last a couple of weeks longer based on my instructor's first-hand experience AND what other brands are advertising (4-6 weeks). It's kinda like buying a Channel purse vs a knock off on the street markets in Asia. It looks and feels the same, but eventually, it will start to fall apart. Trust me, I've bought my share of knock off purses!
