Serious question, how do you get a contact lens out when it's stuck way up under your eyelid?

So last night I'm in the bathroom trying to take my contacts out before bed and the right one just vanishes. I'm digging around in my eye for like 25 minutes, crying, looking like a crazy person in the mirror, and my dog is just staring at me from the doorway. Turns out the stupid thing had flipped up and was hiding way under my upper lid the whole time. I finally got it out with a Q-tip and a lot of blinking, but I'm still a little weirded out. Does anyone have a trick for this that doesn't involve 20 minutes of panic?
