Disclosed is an oxidizer-free method for providing semi-permanent curl to eyelashes, and a kit for use with the method. The method involves a three-step process: (i) applying a first composition that includes a reducing agent to an eyelash, (ii) applying a second composition that includes a contractile polymer to the eyelash, and (iii) manually lifting the eyelash. Unlike conventional lash lifting techniques, the disclosed method requires no glue, silicone pads, compositions with oxidizing agents, or heating. |
