How long should I wait after applying lash glue?

You should wait 30 to 45 seconds after applying lash glue. The adhesive is ready when it appears translucent and feels tacky to the touch, rather than wet.

Where should I start when placing the false lash?

Always start by placing the center of the lash band directly over the pupil, then secure the inner and outer corners to prevent the band from buckling.

Why does my lash band poke my tear duct?

The lash band is too wide for your eye. You must measure the band against your lash line and trim 1mm to 2mm from the outer edge before application.

How to Apply Flirty Lashes: Step-by-Step Guide

Preparation and Trimming

The foundation of a flawless application is proper preparation. Flirty lashes, with their staggered fiber lengths, require a band that perfectly matches the user's specific eyelid width. Hold the lash strip against the natural lash line. If the band extends past the outer corner, use small, sharp scissors to trim 1mm to 2mm from the outer edge. Always trim from the outer edge to preserve the intended design of the inner corner. Failure to trim a band that is too wide will result in the lash poking the tear duct, causing immediate discomfort and watering.

The Adhesive Waiting Period

The most critical error in lash application is placing the lash immediately after applying glue. Liquid adhesive requires time to evaporate and reach its maximum tackiness. Apply a thin, even layer of latex-free adhesive to the lash band. Apply a slightly thicker amount to the inner and outer corners, as these areas experience the most movement. Wait exactly 30 to 45 seconds. The adhesive is ready when it appears translucent and feels sticky to the touch, rather than wet and slippery.

Placement and Securing Techniques

Proper placement ensures the flirty design is displayed correctly and the bond remains secure.

Center Placement: Using clean tweezers, place the center of the lash band directly over the pupil. Press down gently but firmly.

Corner Securing: Once the center is secure, press the inner corner down, followed by the outer corner. This sequence prevents the band from buckling.
Root Blending: If a microscopic gap exists between the lash band and the natural lash line, apply a thin stroke of liquid eyeliner to conceal it and anchor the bond.
