She started by applying a gel pad under my eye with a skin-safe adhesive to protect my lower lashes. I'll admit, this felt a little weird, but it wasn't uncomfortable. Then, she applied the same adhesive to my top lids, which felt warm and tingly (think: a menthol-like sensation), which felt strange, but didn't freak me out.
Next, Courtney adhered a silicone shield to my upper lid. This shield is essentially the mold for your lash curl. There are several sizes, and your technician will pick the one that's best for your lashes. For me, Courtney selected the largest shield, which would produce the most dramatic results. (Go big or go home, right?) I should mention that the lash lift process is a bit different from a lash perm. A lash perm involves a sticky cotton curling rod.
