Different from the application of eyelash extensions, the lash lift procedure makes your natural lashes look fuller, longer, and denser by altering their shape and color as well. In particular, the lash artist will press your own eyelashes around a silicone shield, then a bonding formula is applied. What’s more, the eyelashes are also tinted into a darker shape. The result is that your natural lashes will get a new shape and look denser as if you are using mascara.
