5 Mistakes You're Making When Applying Pre-Glued Lashes

So, you've decided to dive into the world of pre-glued lashes. They seem like a dream come true, right? Easy application, no mess, and instant glam! But hold on, before you go sticking those lashes on, there are a few common mistakes you might be making. Let's break them down, shall we?

1. Is the glued area sticky to your tweezer?

Imagine this: you’re ready to glam up with your pre-glued lashes. You pick up a cluster, but—uh-oh! The glue is clinging to your tweezers. To avoid this, gently grip the lash segment with your tweezers just above the sticky band and carefully peel it from the tray. Be sure not to touch the sticky band so you keep it perfectly tacky for application.

2. Where should I place the lashes?

For best results, place your pre-glued lashes just under your natural lash line, keeping a 2mm gap from your actual lash line. Placing lashes too far onto your natural lashes or too close to the waterline can cause discomfort and affect the final look. Starting from the outer corner and moving inward makes for easier application. Press lightly to secure each segment.

3. Are you applying the lashes too close to the inner corner of your eye?

We know you want your lashes to look effortlessly natural! For the most comfortable fit, avoid placing the lash band too close to the inner corner of your eye. Leaving a small gap here helps your lashes sit better and reduces any discomfort, so you can rock your look with confidence all day long.

4. Are you pressing down too hard?

Easy there, tiger! Pressing the lashes down helps them stick, but too much pressure can cause discomfort or even damage the lash band. Plus, pressing too hard might make the glue stick to your tweezers, ruining your lashes. Instead, gently press the lashes into place and adjust as needed.

5. Are you reusing lashes too many times?

We get it—pre-glued lashes look amazing, and it’s tempting to get as many wears as possible. But the glue will lose its stickiness over time and with repeated use. Reusing them too often means less hold and a higher chance of germs building up. When they stop sticking properly, treat yourself to a fresh pair!

Remember, keeping these common mistakes in mind will help you get flawless results every time you reach for your pre-glued lashes. Patience and practice are key—soon, you’ll be fluttering those lashes like a pro. Happy lashing!
