Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Measuring and Preparing the Lashes

  • Hold the lashes: Hold towards the end for better control
  • Measure the lash: Place along your lash line without glue to ensure fit
    • Avoid the center of your eye for comfort
    • Trim if lashes are longer than your lash line
  • Flexible lashes: If stiff, gently rock back and forth to add flexibility
  • Practice application motion: Tilt head up, apply lashes downward
    • Aim to place as close to the lash line as possible
    • Focus on middle and end first

Step 2: Applying the Glue

  • Apply glue: Hold end of lash, apply glue across the top of the lash line
    • Focus glue on the strip, not underneath
  • Drying glue: Wait until glue is 75-80% dry (dark gray color)
    • Can use a blow dryer to speed up the process

Step 3: Applying the Lashes

  • Positioning: Tilt head back, apply middle and end first
    • Apply a little pressure once positioned
  • Adjustments: If inner corner lifts, reapply glue to that area
    • Use end of tweezers or brush to apply glue on the skin or lash strip
    • Use tweezers to place lash back in position
  • Drying: Let it dry naturally or use a blow dryer/fan

Step 4: Finishing Touches

  • Blend lashes: Use fingers to pinch natural and strip lashes together
    • Can use mascara for better adhesion
    • Ensure a seamless look
