Get Ready for Application

Proper preparation helps the adhesive stick securely and keeps your lashes looking their best.

Before Applying Your Lashes

  • Start with clean lashes. Remove makeup, excess oil, and skincare residue from your natural lashes and eye area.
  • Make sure lashes are dry. Moisture and oil can reduce the adhesive's ability to stick.
  • Use clean tools. Keep your lash tweezers, applicators, and fingers clean to avoid contaminating adhesive.
  • Avoid touching the adhesive. The sticky surface should remain clean so it can properly attach to your lashes.
  • Skip mascara. Additional mascara isn't necessary and may leave residue on the lash fibers.
02 / Individual lash clusters

How to Apply Sticky Dots

Sticky Dots are designed to transform individual lash clusters into self-adhesive press-on lashes. Each pack contains 200 adhesive dots. Follow these four steps for application.

01

Expose Your Sticky Dots

Begin by exposing only one column of Sticky Dots at a time. Leave the remaining adhesive dots covered until you're ready to use them. This helps keep the unused dots clean.

02

Press Your Lash onto the Dot

Pick up an individual lash cluster using clean lash tweezers. Gently press the base of the cluster directly onto an exposed Sticky Dot. Apply enough pressure for the adhesive to attach to the lash band.

03

Lift the Lash with Adhesive

Once the Sticky Dot is attached to the cluster, gently lift the lash away from the adhesive sheet. The Sticky Dot should remain attached to the lash band.

04

Apply & Press Your Lashes

Carefully position the cluster against the base of your natural lashes, close to your lash line. Gently press the cluster and your natural lashes together using a clean applicator or fingertip. Repeat until you've completed your desired look!

Important Application Tip: Do not attempt to remove the Sticky Dot first and then place it onto the lash cluster. Instead, press the lash band directly onto the Sticky Dot while it remains on the sheet. Only trim the adhesive after it has attached to the lash if the dot is too long.

04 / Full lash strips

How to Apply Sticky Strips

Sticky Strips turn traditional strip lashes into convenient self-adhesive press-on lashes. Each pack contains 10 adhesive strips. Here's how to apply them!

01

Position Your Lash Strip

Hold your lash strip by the band and carefully align it with the Sticky Strip while the adhesive remains in its holder. Press the lash band against the adhesive.

02

Press the Lash into Place

Using the tool provided with your Sticky Strips, gently press the lash band against the adhesive. This helps the Sticky Strip attach evenly along the lash band.

03

Remove from the Holder

Once the adhesive is securely attached to your lash band, use the corner of the application tool to gently lift the lash and Sticky Strip together from the holder.

04

Trim & Apply

If the Sticky Strip extends beyond the lash band, carefully trim the excess adhesive using clean scissors. Then apply the lashes according to the product instructions. Enjoy your new look!

Important: Do not trim the Sticky Strip before attaching it to your lash band. Attach the adhesive first, then trim away any excess. Always keep adhesive away from your eyes and waterline.
05 / Lash care

Tips for Longer-Lasting Wear

Keep your lashes looking beautiful and help preserve the adhesive with these simple care tips.

Avoid Heavy Oils

Oil-based cleansers, moisturizers, and skincare products can weaken the adhesive. Avoid applying these products directly around your lash application area.

Skip the Mascara

No additional mascara is needed! Our lashes are designed to provide length and volume. Avoiding mascara helps keep the clusters and strips free of buildup.

Water-Resistant, Not Waterproof

Our self-adhesive lash method can tolerate some light moisture, but prolonged water exposure may weaken the adhesive. Avoid soaking your lashes.

Refresh Your Adhesive

If your lashes are still in good condition but the adhesive is no longer sticky, remove the old adhesive and apply fresh Sticky Dots or Strips as appropriate.

06 / Removal & reuse

How to Remove & Reuse Your Lashes

How do I safely remove my lashes?

When you're ready to remove your lashes, gently loosen the adhesive and carefully lift them away without pulling your natural lashes.

Sticky Dot lashes may release with gentle removal. If the adhesive resists, use a remover suitable for the adhesive and eye area rather than forcing the lashes off.

If you applied your lashes with additional Bond & Seal or Kitty Milk Lash Glue, follow the appropriate adhesive removal instructions instead.

Remember: Never forcefully pull off lashes that are still securely attached. Stop if you feel pain, tugging, or irritation.
How many times can I reuse my Sticky Dot lashes?

Sticky Dots are designed to turn ordinary lash clusters into pre-glued lashes that can typically be reused for up to 3 separate wears.

Actual reusability depends on how the clusters are applied, removed, cleaned, and stored.

Once the adhesive loses its stickiness, you can refresh suitable lash clusters with new Sticky Dots.

How long do Sticky Strips last?

Our existing Sticky Strips guide describes wear of up to 3 weeks. Actual wear time varies depending on the adhesive, application, daily activities, and lash care.

This is not a guarantee of continuous wear. Remove lashes if they begin lifting, feel uncomfortable, or cause irritation, and maintain proper lash hygiene.

Can I reuse lashes after the adhesive loses its grip?

Yes! If the lash fibers and bands are still clean and in good condition, you may be able to reuse them.

Remove the old adhesive carefully without damaging the lash band, then attach a new Sticky Dot or Sticky Strip.

Compatible lash clusters may also be applied using our Bond & Seal or Kitty Milk Lash Glue, following the respective product instructions.

What's the best way to store used lashes?

Store reusable lashes in a clean, dry lash tray or case.

Avoid placing dirty or wet lashes back into their packaging. Gently clean lashes as appropriate for the lash type and allow them to fully dry.

Do not reuse lashes if they become damaged, excessively dirty, or cannot be cleaned safely.

07 / Common questions

Sticky Dots & Strips FAQs

What's the difference between Sticky Dots and Sticky Strips?

Sticky Dots are small individual adhesive pieces designed for separate lash clusters. Each pack includes 200 dots.

Sticky Strips are longer adhesive pieces designed for full strip lashes. Each pack includes 10 strips.

Quick guide: Use Sticky Dots for individual lash clusters and Sticky Strips for full lash strips.
Do I need lash glue when using these adhesives?

No! Sticky Dots and Sticky Strips are self-adhesive, so additional lash glue is not required for their intended press-on application.

Simply attach the adhesive to the lash band as directed, then apply your lashes.

Can I trim Sticky Dots or Sticky Strips?

Yes! If the adhesive extends beyond your lash band, you may carefully trim the excess after attaching it.

Always attach the adhesive first, then trim.

Do not trim adhesive before attaching it to the lash band.

Why isn't my adhesive sticking?

Several things may affect adhesive grip, including:

  • Excess oil or skincare residue
  • Wet or damp natural lashes
  • Touching the adhesive with fingers or tools
  • Old adhesive that has lost its stickiness
  • Incorrect placement on the lash band

Start with clean, dry lashes and avoid touching the exposed adhesive.

If the adhesive is contaminated or no longer tacky, replace it with a fresh Sticky Dot or Strip.

Are Sticky Dots and Strips waterproof?

They are water-resistant, not waterproof.

Light exposure to moisture may be tolerated, but prolonged soaking can weaken the adhesive and shorten wear time.

Avoid swimming, extended water exposure, and rubbing your eyes while wearing self-adhesive lashes.

What should I do if my eyes become irritated?

If you experience redness, discomfort, swelling, burning, or irritation, discontinue use and gently remove the lashes.

Do not apply lashes to irritated or infected eyes. Seek medical advice for ongoing symptoms or eye pain.
