The procedure involves 4 steps. First your lashes will be cleansed and a gel pad will be placed on the bottom lashes. Next, a silicone gel pad will be placed on the eyelid and the top lashes will be glued to the pad, holding them in place. This is step one. Once the hairs are in place, step 2 will be applied to the lashes. This step “lifts” the lashes and will range from 7-12 minutes depending on the coarseness of the natural lashes. After this, step three is applied which “sets” the lashes. This step is half the time of step two. Lastly, the black tint is applied to the lashes. Once the tint has completed a vitamin E gel is applied to the lashes and the silicone shield is removed.
