First time at home: how to laminate brows and lashes without fear

"I just didn't feel skilled enough."

If this thought resonates with you, know that you are not alone. This is precisely why many pay hundreds of euros at salons for years, never daring to try it themselves. But as one of our clients aptly put it: after the first time, she was "so positively surprised" by how simple everything actually was.

This post is for you if you'd like to try, but something inside says, "what if something goes wrong." Let's calmly go through together how to succeed the first time.

Why doing it at home isn't as scary as it seems

At a salon, the procedure seems "professional and complicated" because you don't see what's actually happening. In reality, the steps are logical and repetitive – once the system is clear, each subsequent time is even easier. The most important thing isn't skill, but calmness and following the instructions.

Prepare yourself

A good result starts with preparation. Before starting:

• Do an allergy test 24–48 hours in advance (if you haven't yet – read more about this in our safety post).
• Choose a calm time when you are not rushed. Allow about an hour for the first time, without stress.
• Clean your face – eyebrows and eyelashes must be clean of makeup and oil for the products to work properly.
• Set up good lighting and a mirror. Daylight or good bathroom lighting makes the job much easier.
• Keep the instructions handy and read them calmly once before starting.

Step-by-step: what generally happens

Every LIFTÉ kit includes precise instructions with timings, so always follow those. But so you know what to expect, here's an overview of the process:

1. Cleansing and drying – the hairs are cleaned so the products can work well.
2. Shaping and fixing – eyebrow hairs are set in the desired direction / eyelashes are lifted from the root and beautifully curled. Precise processing times matter here – keep an eye on the timer.
3. Coloring (optional) – if you want to add depth to your eyebrows and eyelashes, a coloring step is added.
4. Nourishing and finishing – finally, the hairs are cared for to keep them healthy and shiny.
5. Result – neat, full eyebrows and an open, curled gaze that lasts for weeks.

Tips for the first time

• Don't rush. The most common mistake is going too fast. A steady hand yields a more beautiful result.
• Watch the clock, not your feelings. Stick precisely to the timings in the instructions.
• Don't overcheck. Once you've applied the product, let it work calmly.
• Enjoy the process. See it as a small moment for yourself – a calm, pleasant time in your bathroom.

Start small if it feels safer

If the first time seems like a big step, there's no need to take everything on at once. The Mini Kit is designed for trying it out – one use, so you can calmly get a feel for the system. If you find it suits you (and we think it will 😍), then the Full Kit gives you 5 uses and all the accessories – meaning several months of beautiful eyebrows and eyelashes for the price of one salon visit.

You don't have to be a professional. You just need to dare to start – and the result will probably surprise you as pleasantly as it has surprised hundreds of others. Time for yourself awaits. 🤍
