Quick answer
Use the Lash & Brow Cleansing Brush to clean natural lashes before applying Lifting Cream (Step 1), not after. This ensures the cream works on residue-free hairs for a consistent lift.
Why the order matters
Lash lift success depends on how well the lifting cream can penetrate and reshape the disulfide bonds in each hair. Oils, makeup residue, or old adhesive block the cream and lead to uneven or weak results.
The Lash & Brow Cleansing Brush is designed to remove that buildup gently, so the Lifting Cream can do its job without interference. Using the brush after applying cream would disrupt the chemical process and waste product.
Step-by-step: Cleansing brush + lifting cream
- 1. Clean lashes with the brush: Dampen the Lash & Brow Cleansing Brush and add a drop of lash shampoo. Gently scrub the base and length of natural lashes in a back-and-forth motion. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Common mistake: scrubbing too hard. Let the brush bristles do the work to avoid irritation.
- 2. Check for residue: Before applying Lifting Cream, inspect lashes under bright light. If you see any leftover mascara, glue, or oil, repeat the cleanse. The brush is soft enough for a second pass without damage. Skip this check and you risk patchy lift results.
- 3. Apply Lifting Cream (Step 1): Using a clean applicator or micro brush, apply a thin, even layer of Lifting Cream along the lifted lashes, staying close to the pad but avoiding skin contact. Process per product timing instructions. Common mistake: applying too much cream. A thin coat is all that is needed to break the disulfide bonds.
Products used in this routine

Lash & Brow Cleansing Brush: The Lash & Brow Cleansing Brush pairs with lash shampoo to remove dirt from lashes and give them a deep cleanse. A clean base prevents the Lifting Cream from reacting with debris, so you get a more predictable and longer-lasting lift.

Lifting Cream (Step 1): The Lifting Cream gently softens and relaxes hairs, allowing them to be shaped and moved into the desired position by breaking down disulfide bonds. It works best on clean, dry lashes; any residue forces the cream to work harder, increasing the risk of over-processing or uneven results.
