01 / Preparation

Before you begin

A little preparation makes a big difference! Follow these simple tips before applying your lashes.

Get Your Lashes Ready

  • Start with clean lashes. Wash your face and gently cleanse your natural lashes to remove makeup, excess oil, and residue.
  • Make sure lashes are dry. Moisture and oil can prevent the pre-applied adhesive from sticking properly.
  • Avoid mascara. You don't need mascara to apply our pre-glued lashes.
  • Use clean tweezers. A clean lash applicator helps prevent adhesive from transferring onto your tools.
  • Avoid heavy oils. Keep oily skincare products, creams, and sunscreen away from the lash application area.

6 Easy Steps to Perfect Lashes

Ready to apply your lashes? Follow these six simple steps for a seamless, comfortable look.

01

Prep Your Natural Lashes

Begin with clean, dry natural lashes that are free from mascara, excess oil, and skincare residue. This helps the adhesive grip your natural lashes.

02

Gently Pick Up a Cluster

Using clean lash tweezers, gently lift one cluster from its tray. Hold the lash around the middle rather than touching the adhesive at its base or pulling on the tips.

03

Place Onto Your Lashes

Position the cluster against the base of your natural lashes, close to your lash line. Apply onto the lashes, not directly onto your eyelid skin or waterline.

04

Build Your Desired Look

Continue applying clusters from the outer corner toward the inner corner. Choose your preferred lengths and placement to create a soft, natural look or a fuller lash style.

05

Press & Blend

Gently press the clusters together with your natural lashes using a clean lash applicator, your fingertip, or a suitable lash curler. Avoid pinching your skin or pulling on your lashes.

06

Enjoy Your New Lashes!

Check that your lashes are secure and comfortable. Once you're happy with the placement, you're done! When it's time to remove them, loosen and lift them gently without pulling your natural lashes.

Application Tip: Your lashes should feel comfortable when blinking. If you feel a cluster rubbing against your eye or waterline, gently remove and reposition it. Never place adhesive onto your waterline or allow it to touch your eyeball.

Tips for Longer-Lasting Wear

Want to get the most out of your pre-glued lashes? A few simple care habits can help preserve their adhesive and appearance.

Avoid Oil-Based Products

Heavy oils and oily cleansers can weaken the pre-applied adhesive and reduce its stickiness. Keep these products away from your lash application area.

Skip the Mascara

Our lash clusters provide length and volume without requiring additional mascara. Skipping mascara also helps keep the clusters cleaner.

Limit Excess Water Exposure

Our pre-glued lashes are water-resistant, not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged soaking, swimming, or saturating the adhesive.

Store Them Carefully

After gentle removal, keep the lashes clean and place them back into their original tray. Avoid touching or contaminating the adhesive.

04 / Removal & reuse

How to Remove & Reuse Your Lashes

How do I safely remove pre-glued lashes?

When you're ready to remove your lashes, use clean fingers or lash tweezers to gently lift the cluster from your natural lashes.

Work slowly and avoid tugging or pulling. If the adhesive does not release easily, use an eye-safe remover suitable for the adhesive and allow it to loosen before trying again.

Once removed, place the clusters back into their storage tray if they're still in good condition.

Important: Never force a cluster off your natural lashes. If you used additional Bond & Seal or lash glue, follow the removal instructions for that adhesive.
How many times can I reuse my lashes?

Our pre-glued lash clusters are designed for multiple uses and can typically be worn 2–3 separate times when properly handled.

Actual reusability depends on how you apply, remove, clean, and store your lashes.

If the adhesive becomes less sticky, you may be able to refresh the clusters using our Sticky Dots.

What if the adhesive is no longer sticky?

Don't throw away your lashes just because the original adhesive loses its grip!

If the lash clusters are still clean and in good condition, you can refresh them using our Sticky Dots.

You may also apply compatible clusters as traditional lash clusters using our Bond & Seal or Kitty Milk Lash Glue, following those products' application and removal directions.

05 / Frequently asked questions

Common Lash Questions

Do I need lash glue for pre-glued lashes?

No! Our pre-glued lash clusters already include adhesive, so additional glue is not required for their intended press-on application.

Simply prep, place, and gently press the clusters onto your natural lashes.

Are pre-glued lashes waterproof?

Our pre-glued lashes are water-resistant, not waterproof.

They can tolerate some exposure to moisture, such as light rain, sweat, or tears.

However, prolonged water exposure can weaken the adhesive and shorten wear time.

For a different application method, compatible clusters can be applied with our Bond & Seal according to its instructions.

Why aren't my lashes sticking?

Several factors can affect how well the pre-applied adhesive sticks.

  • Excess oil or skincare residue on natural lashes
  • Wet or damp lashes during application
  • Touching the adhesive with fingers or tweezers
  • Mascara or makeup residue on the lashes
  • Adhesive that has lost its original grip

For the best results, begin with completely clean and dry lashes and avoid touching the adhesive.

If the adhesive is no longer tacky, consider refreshing the cluster with our Sticky Dots.

Can beginners use pre-glued lashes?

Absolutely! Our pre-glued lashes are a convenient option for customers who want a simpler lash application routine.

Because the adhesive is already attached, there's no need to measure or apply additional glue for standard application.

We recommend taking your time during your first application to get comfortable with placement.

What should I do if my eyes feel irritated?

Your lashes should feel comfortable during wear. If you experience irritation, redness, swelling, or discomfort, stop using them and remove them gently.

Do not apply false lashes over irritated or infected eyes. Seek medical advice for persistent symptoms or eye pain.
