Tips on Applying Self-Adhesive Lashes

Let’s be real—who doesn’t love the look of effortlessly long, fluttery lashes? But dealing with sticky lash glue and messy applications? Not so much. Let us introduce you to self-adhesive lashes, an absolute game-changer in your makeup routine. Whether you’re a beginner to lashes or a seasoned pro, knowing how to apply them properly can take your look from basic to bombshell in minutes. 

1. Start with Clean Lashes

Before you even think about applying your self-adhesive lashes, make sure your natural lashes are clean and free of oils. This little step helps create a perfect base and ensures your falsies stay put all day.

2. Curl Your Lashes

To ensure your lashes open up your eyes instead of weighing down on them, curling your lashes is an essential step. Starting at the base of your natural lashes and going through to the ends, pump your Eyelash Curler a couple of times to give that extra oomph!

3. No Glue Needed!

Forget about waiting for glue to get tacky—these lashes are ready to go straight out of the package. Make sure to gently remove the lashes from its package from where the line is, avoiding the gel adhesive on the lashes.

4. Applying Like a Pro

Using precise Eyelash Tweezers, place the lash clusters under your natural lashes, right above your waterline. Start in the middle, right above your pupil for a more open eye effect. Alternatively, you can start at the outer corner to enhance the length of your eyes and to ensure your lash clusters are evenly spaced out.

5. Blend, Blend, Blend!

To keep your lashes looking seamless, gently press your natural lashes and falsies together with Eyelash Tweezers. Curl your natural lashes and self-adhesive lashes together to create an even more blended look.

6. Secrets to Long-Lasting Wear

To ensure long-lasting wear, avoiding rubbing your eyes at all costs! If you have oily skin, you can also blot your eye area before application to help the lashes stay put. With the right care, your lashes will stay all day with no problems, or even up to 5 days according to some of our customers.

7. Gentle Removal Without Damage

At the end of the day, removal is just as important as application. Gently peel each cluster off from the lash band upward– don’t just tug at them! Clean off any remaining residue and store them in the box, along the tape safely for next time.

8. Reduce, Reuse, and Reapply

One of the best parts about these lashes? They’re reusable! You can get 2-3 wears out of them before the adhesive wears off. When that happens, simply wash off the residue with an oil cleanser and repurpose them as regular lash clusters or individuals with bond & seal or traditional lash glue. Store them in their original case to keep them in perfect shape.

Self-adhesive cluster and individual lashes are here to make your beauty routine easier, faster, and way more fabulous. Whether you’re rushing out the door or perfecting your glam, these lashes offer all the drama without the hassle. With the right prep and technique, you’ll have flawless, fluttery lashes in no time.
