What Is a Korean Lash Lift?
A Korean lash lift is an advanced lash lifting technique originating from South Korea. Unlike a traditional lash lift which creates a uniform curl, the Korean method lifts lashes at the root to create a softer, more natural wide-eyed effect that suits all eye shapes.
​
At GBXBeauty, the Korean lash lift is performed using the Lashbase Lifted. system - a cysteamine-based formula that is significantly gentler on the lashes than traditional thioglycolate solutions. Rather than breaking down the lash structure, it works with the hair to create a lasting lift while actively nourishing and strengthening each lash.
Korean Lash Lift vs Traditional Lash Lift What's the Difference?
-
Curl shape: Korean technique creates a softer, straighter lift from the root rather than a uniform curl
-
Formula: cysteamine-based rather than thioglycolate, making it gentler and safer for lash health
-
Results: lashes appear longer, lifted and fanned out from the root for a wide-eyed effect, rather than a tight uniform curl that can look overdone
-
Longevity: results typically last 6–8 weeks
-
Lash health: the Lashbase Lifted. system used at GBXBeauty contains hydrolysed proteins, glycerin, jojoba oil, coconut oil and aloe vera, actively nourishing and hydrating your lashes throughout the treatment rather than leaving them porous or brittle
-
Aftercare: lower maintenance, lashes remain strong and conditioned throughout. The curl drops more subtly as the ingredients in a KLL have a lower pH so lashes are less likely to overprocess

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Korean lash lift suitable for me?
The Korean lash lift suits almost all eye shapes and lash types, including short, straight or downward-pointing lashes. A consultation is included with every appointment at GBXBeauty's Beddington studio.
Is the Korean lash lift healthier for my lashes?
Yes - and the difference comes down to both the formula and the technique. The Lashbase Lifted. system used at GBXBeauty is cysteamine-based, which works at a lower pH than traditional thioglycolate formulas. This means the lash structure is reshaped with significantly less risk of damage or overprocessing.
​
The formula itself also goes beyond just lifting - it contains hydrolysed proteins, glycerin, jojoba oil, coconut oil and aloe vera, which actively nourish and hydrate your lashes throughout the treatment. Rather than leaving lashes feeling porous or brittle afterwards, clients consistently notice their lashes feel softer and in better condition than after a traditional lash lift.
For anyone with fine, fragile or previously damaged lashes, the Korean lash lift at GBXBeauty is a genuinely restorative treatment - not just a cosmetic one.
What is Korean lash lift aftercare?
For the first 24–48 hours after your treatment:
-
Keep lashes completely dry; no water, steam, swimming or sweating
-
Avoid eye makeup including mascara
-
Don't rub or touch your lashes
-
Sleep on your back or use a silk pillowcase
-
Avoid saunas and hot showers
​​After 48 hours, apply a lash serum or castor oil nightly to nourish your lashes and extend the life of your lift. Avoid waterproof mascara and oil-based eye makeup removers as these break down the lift over time.
Does the Korean lash lift damage my lashes?
No, with the correct technique, the cysteamine-based Lashbase Lifted. system used at GBXBeauty is specifically formulated to nourish rather than damage. Clients consistently report stronger, healthier lashes after treatment.
How long does a Korean lash lift last?
Results last 6–8 weeks depending on your natural lash cycle and aftercare routine.
Can I wear mascara with a Korean lash lift?
Yes, after 48 hours you can wear mascara. A nourishing or water-based mascara is recommended over waterproof formulas.
