Whether you're new to lashes or a seasoned pro, having the right technique makes all the difference. This step-by-step guide will walk you through how to apply and remove all our lash styles using both our Daily Eyelash Glue, Bond & Seal, and Eyelash Glue Remover.
How to Apply Individual Lashes with Daily Eyelash Glue
Prefer to change out your lashes every day and want to use our Daily Eyelash Glue? Here’s how:
- Grab your favorite lash clusters.
- On the clear side of your lash case, create a small pool of glue.
- Carefully remove a cluster by grabbing the entire lash band.
- Dip the top side of the band into the glue pool.
- Swipe off any excess glue using the edge of the case.
- Apply the lash underneath your natural lashes, right above your waterline. Start at the center of your eye (aligned with your pupil).
- Repeat the process with the rest of the clusters.
- That’s it, you’re done!

How to Apply Individual Lashes with Bond & Seal
For a longer-lasting hold, bond & seal is your go-to method:
- Fit the curve of the applicator to your eye, and apply bond to the base of your natural lashes. (Avoid brushing all the way through to the tips!)
- Tap off any excess bond with your fingertips.
- Remove a lash cluster from the case by grabbing the entire band.
- Apply the cluster under your natural lashes using a gentle swiping motion.
- Repeat for the rest of your lash line.
- Use the ball tip of the Seal applicator to lock everything in place.
- You're all set!

Additional Quick & Easy Tips for Applying Lash Clusters (and Avoiding Common Mistakes)
If your lash clusters keep turning out messy, uneven, or just won’t stay put, don’t worry — you’re not alone!
Here are three quick and easy tips to transform your lashes from clumpy chaos into main character, Manhua-style lashes, soft, spiky, and effortlessly lifted.
❌ Mistake #1: Brushing on your bond like it’s mascara
One of the most common lash mistakes is treating your bond like a traditional mascara.
When you brush it on like that, you’re coating too much product onto your lashes — which makes the bond clumpy, sticky, and prone to gluing your lashes (and eyelids!) together.
Fix:
Instead of brushing, dab a small amount of bond just at the base of your natural lashes. This helps your Ninetynine Dreams lash clusters grip securely without creating excess buildup. A little goes a long way!
❌ Mistake #2: Applying clusters too close to your waterline
Placing clusters directly on the waterline might seem like it gives a tight look, but it actually causes discomfort every time you blink — and can make your eyes water or sting.
Fix:
Apply your lash clusters just above your natural lash line. This tiny gap keeps your eyes comfortable and your lashes long-lasting. It also makes the clusters look like seamless lash extensions, especially for Asian eyes or anyone who loves a natural anime lash effect.
❌ Mistake #3: Applying clusters too high on your lashes
If your lash clusters don’t stick properly or look uneven, they’re probably sitting too high up. This causes gaps and makes them more likely to lift throughout the day.
Fix:
Before you start, curl your natural lashes really well to help the clusters blend more naturally. Then apply a tiny bit of bond along the base of your lashes and tap off any excess.
Using tweezers, gently press the clusters right at the base of your natural lashes, following your eye’s natural curve. The result? A clean, lifted spiky lash look that frames your eyes beautifully.
💡 Bonus Tip: Remove your clusters the right way
Never yank or pull your lash clusters off! You’ll end up damaging your natural lashes in the process. Instead, use a gentle, oil-based lash remover — like the Ninetynine Dreams Eyelash Glue Remover
After a few seconds, the clusters should slide right off with zero tugging or damage.
With these easy tips, you’ll go from messy, uneven lashes to flawless anime-inspired, Manhua, or doll-eye styles — all from the comfort of your home.

How to Apply Strip Lashes
Prefer strips? Here's how to apply them for a seamless look:
- Gently peel the lash from the case by grabbing the extra band on the end.
- Hold the lash up to your eye and measure for length.
- Trim from the outer end to fit your eye shape (and always trim off any excess band, even if you're not trimming the lash itself).
- Apply a thin layer of glue to the top and middle of the lash band (not underneath).
- Place the strip on top of your lash line, starting at the center, aligned with your pupil.
- Use tweezers to press down the inner and outer corners, making sure the strip is snug to your lash line.
- Adjust as needed by gently pushing up or down.
- Optional: Curl your natural lashes and falsies together, but only at the base to keep the lash curl intact.

How to Apply Bottom Lashes
Want that doll-like effect? Bottom lashes make all the difference:
- Create a small pool of glue on your case.
- Gently remove the cluster while holding the full band.
- Dip the bottom side (the part that goes under your lashes) into the glue.
- Apply the cluster underneath your natural bottom lashes, make sure the curl faces inward.
- Repeat along the lower lash line.
- Done!

How to Remove Your Lashes with Eyelash Glue Remover
Lash removal should be just as gentle as your application. Here’s how:
- Use the tip of your remover applicator to swipe along the lash line where glue was applied.
- Gently brush through your lashes to help loosen the glue.
- Let the remover sit for 30 seconds to break down the adhesive.
- Use your fingers to gently remove the lashes—they should come off effortlessly.
- Place each lash back on the sticky strip in your case to reuse them (yep, up to 10+ times!).
- Repeat on the other eye.
- Dab off any leftover oil with a tissue.
