How to Glue Eyelashes On: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Cleanse and Prime the Natural Lashes
Before applying any lash extensions, it’s crucial to start with a clean base. Gently wash the client’s lashes with a lash shampoo to remove any oils, dust, or makeup residue. This helps ensure proper bonding.
After cleansing, apply a lash primer like Wrap Perfecto to remove any remaining oils and prepare the natural lashes for optimal adhesive grip.
Step 2: Prepare Your Lash Adhesive
Use a professional lash glue like Elite Bond Adhesive from Posh Deluxe. It’s known for fast drying, strong retention, and great performance under various humidity levels.
- Dispense a fresh drop of glue every 25-40 minutes.
- Dip the base of your lash extension into the adhesive, ensuring a microbead at tip that will hug the natural lash..
Let the adhesive sit for about 30 seconds until it becomes slightly tacky—this improves control and placement.
Step 3: Apply the Lash Extension
Using your isolation tweezer, isolate one natural lash. With your placement tweezers, attach the extension 0.3-0.5mm away from the eyelid skin, ensuring a clean bond without touching the skin.
Hold for a few seconds to allow the adhesive to begin curing.
Step 4: Boost Retention and Cure
To speed up the curing process and lock in better retention, apply a small amount of Superbonder Liquid after application. This advanced formula helps secure the bond faster and strengthens the connection between the natural lash and the extension.
It’s a game-changer for ensuring longer-lasting results—especially in high-humidity environments.
Pro Tips for Longer Retention
- Use a humidity-matched adhesive from Posh Deluxe to suit your room conditions.
- Always use fresh adhesive drops every 25-40 minutes during a session.
- Don’t overload the extension with glue—just a microbead enough to hug the natural lash.
- Educate clients on aftercare to improve retention and lash health.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Gluing multiple lashes together (causes damage and discomfort)
- Using too much adhesive (leads to stickies and damage)
- Attaching to skin or too far from the lash line
- Skipping lash cleansing and priming
