Applying Lashify lashes underneath your natural lashes is a game-changing technique that creates a seamless, undetectable lash line. Unlike traditional strip lashes that sit on top, this method mimics the natural growth of your lashes, giving you a more realistic and comfortable wear. Whether you're new to Lashify or looking to refine your application, this guide will walk you through the process step by step.
The key to a flawless under-lash application lies in preparation, precision, and the right products. With Lashify's innovative system, you can achieve a custom look that lasts for days. Let's dive into the technique that will transform your lash game.
Why Apply Lashify Lashes Underneath?
Applying lashes underneath your natural lashes offers several benefits. First, it creates a more natural look because the lash band is hidden beneath your own lashes, making the extension appear as if it's growing from your lash line. This technique also reduces the risk of the lashes lifting or peeling off, as they are sandwiched between your natural lashes and the skin. Additionally, it allows for a more comfortable fit, especially for those with sensitive eyes or who wear contact lenses.
The Lashify system is designed for this under-lash method. The patented Gossamer® lashes are ultra-thin and flexible, allowing them to conform to your lash line without irritation. By placing them underneath, you maximize contact with your natural lashes, ensuring a secure bond that lasts through sleep, showers, and workouts.
- Seamless, natural look with no visible band
- Longer-lasting wear due to better adhesion
- Comfortable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers
Step-by-Step Under Lash Application
Start by cleansing your lashes and eyelids to remove any oil or makeup. Use a gentle oil-free cleanser and ensure your lashes are completely dry. This step is crucial for the adhesive to bond properly. Next, select the right Lashify lash style for your desired look. For a natural everyday look, try the Classic Petit which adds subtle length and volume.

Apply a thin layer of Lashify's Whisper Light adhesive to the spine of the Gossamer lash. Wait 30 seconds for the adhesive to become tacky. Using the Lashify applicator, pick up the lash and gently place it underneath your natural lashes, as close to the lash line as possible. Press firmly for 10-15 seconds to secure. Repeat for each section, working from the outer corner inward.
After all sections are applied, use the Lashify Fuse tool to gently press the lashes together with your natural lashes. This helps blend them and ensures a strong bond. For an extra secure hold, you can apply a sealant like WATER POOF® MAGIC DUST to lock in the look and add water resistance.

Tips for Perfect Placement
To achieve the best results, work in good lighting and use a magnifying mirror if needed. Start with the outer corner lashes first, as they are the most visible. For a cat-eye effect, use longer lashes on the outer corners and shorter ones toward the inner corner. If you make a mistake, gently remove the lash with a spoolie and reapply with fresh adhesive.
Avoid applying too much adhesive, as it can cause the lashes to slide or become clumpy. A thin, even layer is all you need. Also, be patient during the pressing step; holding the lash in place for the full 10-15 seconds ensures a strong bond. Practice makes perfect, so don't get discouraged if your first attempt isn't flawless.
- Use good lighting and a magnifying mirror
- Apply outer corner lashes first
- Use thin adhesive layer for precision
Aftercare and Removal
To extend the life of your Lashify lashes, avoid oil-based products around the eyes, as they can break down the adhesive. Gently cleanse your lashes daily with a water-based cleanser and a soft brush. You can also use a lash wand to keep them groomed. With proper care, your lashes can last up to 7 days.
When it's time to remove, saturate a cotton pad with Lashify's Melt Away remover and press it against your lashes for 10-15 seconds. Gently slide the lashes off without pulling. Clean the Gossamer lashes with the remover and store them in the original case for reuse. Never pull or tug, as this can damage your natural lashes.
- Avoid oil-based products near eyes
- Cleanse daily with water-based cleanser
- Use Melt Away remover for gentle removal
