Life after your GDL Lash Lift...

In 2018, The Eyelash Emporium premiered GDL- Gravity Defying Lashes, the ultimate lash lift. Lash lifts have taken over the beauty industry and it's rapidly becoming a go-to treatment.

So, with these naturally beautiful lashes which are low in maintenance, cost effective, long lasting and does not harm your natural lashes. How should you take care of them after your treatment?

Within the first 24 hours of your GDL, they need a little TLC to ensure you receive maximum results from your lash lift. It’s important to follow the correct aftercare treatment as your lashes are delicate after lifting.
