Quick answer
Start by cleaning and drying your natural lashes, then apply a thin layer of adhesive from the DIY Underlash Extensions Kit to the lash strip, wait 30 seconds for it to become tacky, and gently press the strip onto the underside of your natural lashes.
Why placement matters
Underlash extensions are designed to sit below your natural lash line, giving a subtle, natural-looking lift. Placing them too high can cause discomfort and make the lashes look fake. The key is to position them right at the base of your natural lashes, not on the skin.
Step-by-step application
- Prep your natural lashes: Clean your lashes with a gentle, oil-free cleanser to remove any makeup or oil. Dry them completely. Oil residue prevents the adhesive from bonding, so skip moisturizer around the eyes.
- Apply adhesive to the lash strip: Squeeze a small amount of the included long-wear adhesive onto a clean surface. Using the precision lash applicator, run a thin, even layer along the lash band. Too much glue causes clumping and longer drying time; a thin coat is all you need.
- Wait for the adhesive to become tacky: Let the glue sit for about 30 seconds until it feels sticky but not wet. This is crucial for a strong hold. Applying too early means the lashes will slide off; waiting too long makes the glue dry out.
- Position the lash strip under your natural lashes: Using the applicator, place the lash strip directly against the underside of your natural lash line, starting from the inner corner. Press gently along the band for 10-15 seconds. If the strip shifts, remove it and reapply fresh glue—do not try to reposition after it bonds.
- Blend and set: Gently press your natural lashes together with the extensions using your fingers or the applicator. Allow the adhesive to fully dry (about 1-2 minutes) before opening your eyes wide. Avoid mascara for 24 hours to keep the bond intact.
