What is it?

Created by Nouveau Lashes, LVL (length, volume, lift) is a treatment that lifts the natural lashes at the root, making them appear longer. Results last between six and eight weeks and prices start from £45.

How does it work?

A specially-formulated serum lets each hair be moved into a new shape, and then a fixing gel is applied on top that allows the lashes to be straightened from the root so they look like they are curled up. The lashes are then tinted to help further define them.

What happens during an appointment?

The treatment took just under an hour and was never painful, although pulling the lashes upwards felt strange. When I looked in the mirror afterwards, I did a double take. Not only had my fair ginger lashes gone from ghostly to glam thanks to the black tint, they also took well to the medium curl. My eyes now appear bigger and brighter, while I look more rested. It’s the perfect treatment for make-up minimalists.
