The world of lash artist tools and products can be a little overwhelming as there are so many options on the market. Like any products, there are some that are better than others, and every lash artist will have their favourite brands and suppliers. As you have learned previously, some suppliers use the terms lash rods, lash shields and lash pads interchangeably, so keep an eye out for that. At a minimum, every lash artist should have the following tools, equipment and consumables in  their kit:
