Bonding: If lashes are lifting, consider applying a bit more bond. Aim for a small dab at the base of your lashes or run a thin line along the lash spine — this helps to avoid using too much. Securing: After applying, wait for about 5 minutes, then firmly press the lashes against your natural ones with the applicator. This should be part of your daily routine for a more durable hold, especially after exposure to moisture. Lash Prep: Start with oil-free, clean lashes. Make sure they're thoroughly dried post-cleansing before you begin the application. Product Choice: Stay away from oil-based products around your eyes as they can weaken the bond. Skin Type: If you have naturally oily skin around your eyes, it could affect the staying power of the lashes. Sealing: To increase wear-time, make use of your seal liquid. It sets and seals the bond, extending the life of your lash set. Water Exposure: Our lashes can handle a splash, but they're not fully waterproof. If they get wet, let them air dry without touching, and then clamp them down once more. Placement: Apply the lashes about 1-2mm from the waterline to avoid contact with moisture which can break down the bond. Touching: Hands off! Your hands carry oils and dirt that can transfer to your lashes, impacting how long they last.
