To achieve a natural appearance in these treatments, special lash lift perming pads are used. They look like rods applied to the upper eyelid. Silicone is used as a material for their production. We sell high quality lash lift rods in our shop. The product is intended for multiple use. It is unique in there is a gradual increase from the inner to the outer edge, which allows to create a uniform, beautiful curve.

Conny Lashes Tip: It is necessary to sterilize perm shields in the same way as any other reusable lash lift tools after each client. The material can withstand heat treatment. But antiseptic solutions are not recommended, since they can destroy the surface of the material, which will further affect its properties. Before sterilization, the surface must be cleaned of residues of products and rinsed with water.


Which size fits best for a client?

Special silicone pads lift and fix eyelashes for proper styling. Silicone lash lift pads are matched to the shape of the eyes and the size of the eyelashes. Wrong selection will result in an unsatisfied result.

Our lash lift kit includes reusable soft and super elastic lash lift perming pads. They are used to treat short natural eyelashes and achieve a maximum effect.

Our premium lash lift pads are available in 5 pad sizes:

Small: For short natural eyelashes of length of which does not exceed 6 mm.

Medium 1: It makes a smooth, rounded curl on medium length natural eyelashes.

Conny Lashes Tip: There are many different lash lift silicone pad sizes that need to fit perfectly on each client’s eye. Medium sized lash lift silicone pads are considered universal. They are suitable for any length. We don’t recommend using lash lift pads for eyelashes with less than 0,4 cm and over 1,5 cm. For clients with very short eyelashes (less than 0,3 cm), it is impossible to select a suitable size of lash lift pad. In this case, it is better to refuse the treatment.

Silicone rods are matched to the shape of the eyes and the size of the eyelashes. Wrong selection will lead to an incorrect result. Using small pads on long, thick lashes will create a stronger curl. Misapplying a large pad will minimize the curl, which is not satisfactory for the lash lift technique.

At the end of the treatment, the eyelashes appear longer and thicker. The most important thing is the selection of the lash lift pad size, the correct stretching and laying out of the eyelashes, the application of the lotions and their exposure times.

Lamination of the lower eyelashes

A Lamination of the lower eyelashes is necessary only in case of trichiasis disease, curling the eyelashes inward towards the eyeball.

It is done in the same procedure as the classic upper eyelash lift.
The secret of a professional lash lift work

The eyelashes should be located strictly parallel on the lash lift silicone pad, not criss-cross or break. Layout is an important step, which determines the position of the eyelashes after the procedure. An applicator can help to position the eyelashes correctly.

A lash lift rod gets applied at the very zone of eyelash growth. Always place the lash lift silicone pad correctly. When laying out the eyelashes, make sure that they rise from the growth line above the cut of the eyes, and do not appear to be hanging over the eyelid. It is also important to maintain symmetry in the direction of the hairs in the two eyes. Every millimetre is important here – even a slight difference can ruin the result.
Y Brush for best results

The Y-shaped eyelash applicator is your best friend. It will take a couple of minutes to lay out the eyelashes. The two working surfaces of the Y-Brush ensure a quality work. The fine tip allows to quickly and easily grab hairs from root to tip. It ensures that all eyelashes are separated and remain straight, in best position, on the eyelash lift rods.

Expert tips for using lash lift pads

Eyelashes should reach the middle of the lash lift perming pad. If the eyelashes do not reach the middle, then a smaller lifting pad is needed. If the natural eyelashes go far beyond the centre, it is recommended for beginners to change the pad size to the next size.

Avoid crossing eyelashes at the very root and walking tip. It is necessary to pay special attention to the beginning and end of the eyelash row, so as not to lose a single lash.
