How To Apply Lashes.. As a Professional MUA..

Applying lashes is something most people struggle with and im not going to lie it does take practice. Good quality lashes are recommended as poor quality lashes can be flimsy and be hard to work with and apply. Also the glue you use is paramount to ease of applying and the staying power of your lashes. I recommend Duo Adhesive, this is surgical glue but does contain latex so make sure your not allergic. If so there is a latex free version here.

I use either Eyelure or Illamasqua lashes which I love as they fit perfect to the eye shape making them comfortable and easy to apply.Below is a downloadable and fully printable pdf.

The biggest tip I can give when it comes to applying lashes is making sure there is enough glue to make them stick and last, but not so much that they take forever to dry. The most important thing is to wait at least 60 seconds after applying the glue before actually applying onto the eye, we all know when doing a long column of clients every seconds counts so I like to use this nifty little fan to speed everything up, you can also use this whilst its on the eye to help it settle. This can also be amazing for cooling down a stressed out bride and helps relax your clients.
