THE KOREAN LASH LIFT TUTORIAL
By the end of this tutorial, you’ll understand what makes the Korean Lash Lift is the most popular treatment this year. I’ll guide you through shield selection, timing adjustments and the finer details, so your lifts are clean and even. You’ll also see how to finish with tinting and nourishing steps for long-lasting results, plus simple troubleshooting tips for common issues.
This tutorial is designed for artists who already have lash lift experience, it’s not a beginner’s course. You’ll have unlimited rewatch access and a downloadable manual, which I encourage you to read thoroughly to deepen your knowledge on areas like hair porosity and shield choice. CERTIFICATION IS NOT INCLUDED if this tutorial is purchased on its own.

Before You Begin: Key Terms & Foundations
This pre-tutorial guide defines the language we’ll use throughout: freestyle vs flat pad (what you’ll see demoed), what glueless means, and how TGA, cysteamine and hybrid systems differ. We’ll also cover the hair science (disulphide bonds, porosity) and quick fit notes (shield sizing, avoiding over-curl) so you’re fluent before hitting play.

Using the Flat Pad
Here I show how to use the flat pad for the authentic Korean method. It’s a little slower than freestyle but often reduces stinging because lashes stay straight and product sits neatly. Place it glueless, 1-2 mm from the lash-line) for Step 1 only. Try both methods; I use them interchangeably.

Flex Check/Bend Test
Learn the flex check (bend test) to master timing. A
“v” fold means lashes are ready; resistance (“u” fold) needs more time; weakness means stop. The bend test keeps lifts safe + consistent.Learn the flex check (bend test) to master timing. A

Nourishing Oil
Before cleaning, finish the lift with nourishing oil to restore softness + shine. Apply lightly to mid-lengths and ends, sealing the cuticle and keeping lashes glossy, healthy and conditioned.

Clean Up
Finish strong with clean up. Remove residue, release lashes from the shield and tidy the eye area so results are glossy, lifted, and professional. Watch me apply my favourite finishing serum, Gold Booster.
