What are lash lift shields?

Lash shields, also known as lash lift rods, are a type of tool used in the Lash Lift treatment, which is a semi-permanent lash treatment that curls, thickens, strengthens and lifts the natural eyelashes. Lash lift shields/rods are the main tools, without them, you can't achieve lash lift or lamination results.

The role of lash shields in a lash lift treatment is to provide a base for the lashes to be lifted and shaped on. Flawless new lash lift shields are made of a flexible and durable material, such as silicone, and come in various sizes to accommodate different eye and lash shapes.

The shields are placed on the eyelid, close to the lash line, and the lashes are then combed through the opening of the shield so that they are held in the desired position during the treatment.

The new and trending lash lamination treatment is the lamination of lower lashes, which is a relatively new but rapidly growing treatment option.

Choosing the perfect lash shield size

S and SS are flatter and lift from the root, making them suitable for short Asian eyelashes that grow down.

Additionally, S and SS curl shapes help create a more natural look for those with shorter lashes, as they lift the lashes from the roots and give them a subtle boost.

M and L are the most common sizes and are suitable for most lash lift treatments. They are designed to provide a balanced lift for lashes of medium to long length.

They create a noticeable improvement in the appearance of lashes, adding length, volume and definition to the eyes. M and L curl sizes are a great choice to enhance the natural beauty of your lashes and give them a more defined look.

XL is the most rounded and can be used for longer lashes, but it may not provide enough curl. The most rounded shape of the XL Lash Shield can make it difficult to apply evenly, which can lead to a gentle curl.

How to correctly lift eyelashes on the silicone shield

1. When lashes are growing down, creating a sad-eyed appearance, use the thinner end of the shield on the outer corner to create a stronger lift, specifically a "D curl" on the outer lashes.
2. For clients with really long lashes who want a stronger curl, use an M or sometimes for extreme look you can use size S rod but avoid sticking the ends of the lashes, instead, not necessarily to glue the tips of the natural lashes.
3. Additionally, if the person has a deep-set or hooded eyelid, the rod size should be chosen based not only on the length of the lashes but also on the shape of the eyelid, using a more rounded shape will work better.
