Lift JuJu

If you trained with thioglycolate, you remember THE rule:

𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝟭 𝗡𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗢𝗨𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗜𝗣𝗦.

The question was where to stop.
Halfway up the lash? ¾? 😩

Because thioglycolate 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

I trained for 5 major thioglycolate brands for more than a decade. I staggered placement. I protected the tips. I taught the protocols.

And I watched what thioglycolate did to the integrity of the lash—sometimes immediately, sometimes over time. 😶‍🌫️

Then came 𝗖𝗬𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗘. 💎

Gentler. It doesn’t migrate beyond the point of application, which means it can be applied along the entire lash length.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁.

So when cysteamine started getting criticized for being “too slow,” apparently the answer became:

𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿.

Take CYSTEAMINE Add TGA or ETG. 👉🏼Call it “𝗛𝗬𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗗.”

Once you add TGA or ETG to a cysteamine system, it no longer behaves like a cysteamine-only system. Thioglycolates change the processing chemistry. It may contain cysteamine, but you’re now working with thioglycolate chemistry — and it needs to be treated that way.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿.
𝗪𝗲’𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱.

Before:

𝗗𝗢. 𝗡𝗢𝗧. 𝗧𝗢𝗨𝗖𝗛. 𝗧𝗛𝗘. 𝗧𝗜𝗣𝗦.

Now?

When 𝗰𝗮𝗻 it touch the tips?
How long is “a little bit”?
When do you remove it?
How do you remove it?
Cleanse? pH balance?
Condition the tips while the rest keeps processing?

A 𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 “𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿.” 😰

I formulated Lift JuJu® after more than a decade of working with thioglycolate.

I wasn’t trying to find a way to put it back.

𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲. 💗

So before we automatically decide that faster = better…

Lift JuJu® Step 1:

𝗖𝗬𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗘. 𝗡𝗼 𝗧𝗚𝗔. 𝗡𝗼 𝗘𝗧𝗚.

Remember the old “halfway or ¾?” days? Tell me below. 👇

The goal was never to make you memorize 8 lash lift methods. 👀

It was to teach you enough that one day… you don’t need me to tell you exactly what to do.

You understand your products.

You know what you need from them.

And you start developing little techniques that work for YOU.

That’s exactly what Melanie, Shimmer_Spa did here.

And THAT is the kind of confidence I want you walking away with.

👉 Swipe to steal Melanie’s little JuJu trick.

Then tell me YOUR little thing in the comments. The tiny thing you do with your Lift JuJu® products that makes your lifts easier.

We may feature yours next. 👀

Some lashes will make you wonder if you actually know what you’re doing.

You tape the lid.

The lower lashes still won’t stay out of the way.

You change the shield.

Now the skin is touching where your solution needs to go.

You reposition everything.

Still nope.

And eventually you’re staring at a set of lashes thinking, “I genuinely don’t know how I’m going to lift these.”

I’ve been there.

The first time I attempted this lift, I spent almost 20 minutes just trying to create a setup I felt safe working with.

I couldn’t.

So I stopped and gave myself time to THINK.

When he came back, I used a flat shield with my Korean method. It solved the problem I couldn’t solve the first day and I was able to lift his lashes.

Then came his second lift.

This time I used a hybrid shield with JuJu Balm.

Completely different method.

And it was SO much easier. So much faster.

Because I wasn’t meeting his lashes for the first time anymore.

I understood them.

That might be one of the biggest things experience has taught me.

The lashes that stump you today aren’t proof that you don’t know enough.

Sometimes they’re the lashes that make you learn the most.

And don’t overlook the “easy” ones either.

Every lift teaches you something about how THAT person’s lashes behave.

The goal isn’t to get so experienced that nothing ever stumps you.

It’s to never stop paying attention to what the lashes in front of you are teaching you.

Tell me about the lashes that made you think, “I have NO idea what to do with these.”
