Step-by-Step Safe Application Process For Beginners

For first-time users, following the standardized process below can help you avoid clumping, irritation, and early lash fallout that 62% of new at-home users encounter in their first try.

1. Prep your natural lashes with the included oil-free primer and wait 30 seconds for full dry to remove residual sebum
2. Isolate 1-2 natural lashes with the precision tweezers, pick a 0.15mm thickness lash extension that matches your natural lash length
3. Dip the lash base 1mm deep into the adhesive, place it 0.5mm away from your eyelid line to avoid skin contact
4. Hold the lash for 3 seconds to let the adhesive fully cure, repeat across all eyes following your desired lash map
5. Apply the aftercare sealant 10 minutes after full application to lock in wear for up to 4 weeks

Q: How long does it take a beginner to finish full application?

For first-time users, the full process takes around 90 minutes, and you can cut the time down to 40 minutes after 2-3 practice runs.

Q: Is it normal to feel slight stinging during application?

No, any obvious stinging or redness means the adhesive contains ingredients that your eyes are sensitive to, you should stop using it and rinse eyes with sterile saline immediately.

Q: Why do my new lash extensions fall out within 2 days?

The most common reason is you did not fully degrease natural lashes before application, or you touched the lashes with oily skincare products within 24 hours after application.

Q: Can I use regular mascara on my lash extensions?

You can only use oil-free extension-safe mascara, regular waterproof mascara will break down the adhesive and cause lash fallout at least 2 times faster.

How To Store Your Eyelash Extension Kit Properly

In practice, correctly storing your kit can extend the adhesive shelf life from 6 months to 12 months, preventing unexpected curing or performance drop before you finish all the materials.

You should store the kit in a cool, dry place under 25℃, avoid direct sunlight, and keep the adhesive bottle tightly closed immediately after each use to prevent air from entering the bottle. Never place the adhesive near a bathroom or humid area, as high moisture will make the adhesive cure too fast that you have no enough time to adjust lash position.
