Why Choose Cluster Lashes?
Cluster lashes give you the same lifted airy, extension-like effect as lash extensions while being easy to DIY at home! They blend seamlessly with your natural lashes and can be long-lasting, allowing you to wake up with perfect lashes.
Beginner-Friendly: Easy to apply with tweezers.
Lightweight & Comfortable: No heavy strip band.
Reusable: Each cluster can be worn multiple times.
Extension-Like Results: Seamless, lifted, natural-looking lash line.
Flexible Wear Time: Use Daily Eyelash Glue for one-day wear or Bond & Seal for multi-day retention (4–7+ days)
Step-by-Step Guide on Applying Cluster Lashes
Step 1: Prep Your Natural Lashes
Proper prep helps your clusters grip evenly and sit in the perfect position. Wash and dry your eyelids and natural lashes to remove oils or makeup. Avoid moisturizing eye creams before application. Curl your natural lashes to lift them and create the perfect surface for clusters to sit on
Step 2: Remove Lashes from Packaging
Cluster lashes are delicate — handle with care for the best results. Use eyelash tweezers and gently slide underneath the entire band. Lift from the band, not the fibers. Make sure the tweezers grip across the full width to avoid bending or damaging the cluster.

Step 3: Apply Your Adhesive
Option A - Daily Eyelash Glue
Add a small glue pool to the clear side of your lash case. Dip only the underside of the lash band. Swipe off excess glue against the case for a thin, even coat.
Option B - Bond & Seal
Dab a thin layer of Bond only at the base of your natural lashes. Do not brush through like mascara. Tap off excess using your fingertip to avoid stickiness. For extra hold, directly apply bond to the cluster's lash band.
Step 4: Apply the Lash Clusters
This part determines how clean and natural your final look will be. Hold the cluster with tweezers, fibers facing upward. Position the cluster under your natural lashes. Place it slightly above the waterline, right at the base of your natural lashes. Press gently — do not squeeze the fibers. Keep clusters close together for a seamless line
Step 5: Blend & Secure (Optional)
If using Daily Lash Glue:
Lightly pinch the base of your natural lashes and the cluster band together. Curl gently at the roots if needed
If using Bond & Seal:
After application, apply seal lightly to the underside of the lashes where bond was previously applied. This locks everything in place and removes stickiness. No need to coat the entire lash!
Step 6: Gentle Removal
Apply eyelash glue remover to the base of your lashes and let it sit for about 30 seconds. Then, gently slide off the lash clusters, no tugging required. Wipe away any remaining glue or oil residue as needed.
Note: If removed correctly, your clusters should come off easily without tugging on your lashes.
Step 7: How to Reuse Your Lash Clusters
Place clean clusters back on their tray to keep their shape. Remove dried glue or bond from the band with tweezers and lash glue remover. Clusters can be reused 5–10+ times with proper care. If the band becomes worn, replace the cluster for best results.
