Every Lifted Lounge Shield Explained: Which One Is Right for You?

If you're doing Korean lash lifts, choosing the right shield makes all the difference. Each shield shape creates a different curl, suits different lash lengths, and works best for different eye types. Here's a full breakdown of every shield in the Lifted Lounge collection so you can pick the right one for every client.

Easy No-Glue Shields

The Easy No-Glue Shields are the most essential tool for Korean lash lifts. They create a classic LU curl that is dramatic, rounded, and beautifully lifted. These shields work especially well for clients with short to medium lashes, giving them a curl that looks fuller and more dramatic without over-processing.

• Curl type: LU curl
• Sizes: 5 sizes
• Best for: Short to medium lashes, clients wanting a dramatic curl

Long Lash No-Glue Shields

Long Lash Shields are designed specifically for clients with naturally long lashes. They lift lashes straight upward with an LU curl, creating a clean, elongated look that does not over-curl longer lashes. If your client has long natural lashes and wants a polished, lifted result without the curl folding back toward the lid, Long Lash Shields are the answer.

• Curl type: LU curl
• Sizes: 4 sizes
• Best for: Long lashes, clients who want a clean upward lift

Edge Shields

Edge Shields create an L curl with a sharp, defined root lift. Unlike the rounded LU curl, the L curl gives lashes a very bold, dramatic angle right at the root. These are ideal for clients with monolids, as the sharp lift helps lashes clear the lid crease. They are also a great option for any client who wants maximum drama.

• Curl type: L curl
• Sizes: 4 sizes
• Best for: Monolids, clients who want very dramatic root lift

Cat-Eye No-Glue Shields

Cat-Eye Shields have a unique asymmetric shape: thinner at the front (inner corner) and gradually thicker toward the tail (outer corner). This creates a more elegant curl toward the outer corners, giving clients a tapered, feline cat-eye effect. The tapered shape also makes it easier to place the shield accurately on the outer lashes. A perfect choice for clients who want an elongated look rather than a uniform lift across all lashes.

• Curl type: LU curl
• Sizes: 5 sizes
• Best for: Clients wanting a cat-eye effect, elongated outer corner curl

Bold No-Glue Shields

Bold Shields are the thickest shields in the collection, producing the fullest and largest curl of any option available. They are ideal for clients with long lashes, prominent brow bones, larger eyelids, or mature eyes where lashes might otherwise fold back and touch the lid. Bold Shields help prevent over-curling by providing a wide surface that controls how the lash bends.

• Curl type: CU curl
• Sizes: 5 sizes
• Best for: Long lashes, prominent brow bones, mature or larger eyelids, preventing over-curl

Coming Soon: Soft U Shields

The newest addition to the Lifted Lounge lineup is the Soft U Shield. These shields feature a softly curved U-shaped root with a wider surface area. They are designed for clients with longer lashes who want a more rounded, gentle lift at the root without the sharpness of an L curl. A great middle-ground option between the dramatic L curl of the Edge Shield and the classic LU curl of the standard shields.

• Curl type: U curl
• Sizes: 5 sizes
• Best for: Longer lashes, clients wanting a soft rounded root lift
