Quick answer
To apply Nightswim lash extensions for a bold style, focus on precise placement and proper adhesive technique. Follow the steps below for a dramatic, long-lasting look.
Why Nightswim Works for a Bold Look
Nightswim lashes from Lilac St. are designed with a dramatic flair, making them ideal for those who want their eyes to stand out. Their thicker, more noticeable strands create a sultry, intense effect that works well for evening events or any time you want to make a statement.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
Applying dramatic lashes can be tricky. One common mistake is using too much adhesive, which can cause clumping and reduce wear time. Another is placing them too far from the lash line, leading to an unnatural look. Always work in good lighting and take your time.
Step-by-step application guide
- 1. Prep your natural lashes: Clean your lashes thoroughly with an oil-free makeup remover. Ensure they are completely dry before starting. This helps the adhesive bond properly. Skip this step and your extensions may not last as long.
- 2. Measure and trim the Nightswim strip: Hold the lash strip against your eyelid. Trim from the outer edge if it is too long. For a bold look, keep the length close to your natural lash line. Trimming from the outer edge maintains the natural taper and prevents a blunt look.
- 3. Apply a thin layer of adhesive: Squeeze a small amount of lash glue onto a clean surface. Use a fine-tip applicator to apply a thin, even line along the lash band. Wait 30 seconds for the glue to become tacky. Too much glue causes clumps and shortens wear time.
- 4. Position the lash strip: Using tweezers or your fingers, place the strip as close to your natural lash line as possible. Press gently from the center outward to secure. If the strip lifts at the inner corner, reapply a tiny dab of glue.
- 5. Blend and set: Use a clean spoolie to brush your natural lashes and the extensions together. This blends them for a seamless, dramatic look. Allow the glue to dry completely. Do not touch or curl the lashes until the glue is fully dry (about 2 minutes).
