Getting Started: Gather Your Supplies

Before diving into the DIY lash application process, make sure you have the following supplies ready:

  • Eyelash extensions (synthetic, mink, or silk)
  • Eyelash glue
  • Eyelash tweezers
  • Mirror
  • Eye makeup remover
  • Cotton swabs

Applying DIY Lashes: Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps to apply your DIY lashes like a pro:

  1. Clean your eyes thoroughly to remove any makeup, dirt, or oils. This ensures better adhesion of the glue to your lashes.
  2. Hold the mirror in front of you to clearly see your lashes.
  3. Using the tweezers, carefully place the false lash onto your natural lash. Trim the false lash if needed to fit the length of your natural lash.
  4. Apply a small amount of glue to the base of the false lash, as close to your natural lash line as possible.
  5. Hold the lash in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to dry.

Pro Tips: Work slowly and carefully to avoid damaging your natural lashes or getting glue into your eyes. Repeat the process for all lashes, applying extensions until you achieve your desired look.

Maintenance and Removal

To maintain your DIY lashes and ensure their longevity, follow these tips:

  • Regularly brush your lashes to prevent tangling.
  • Consider using a lash serum or conditioner to keep your natural lashes healthy and strong.
  • Avoid using oil-based products on your lashes, as they can cause the glue to dissolve and the lashes to fall off.
  • Refrain from rubbing your eyes to prevent damage to the extensions.

When it's time to remove the lashes, follow these steps:

  1. Use a gentle eye makeup remover or oil to dissolve the glue.
  2. Avoid pulling the lashes off, as this can damage your natural lashes.
  3. Instead, gently remove the extensions one by one using a gentle motion.

H2: Embrace the Trend: DIY Lashes Taking Over the Lash Industry

You've probably come across DIY lashes online, the latest sensation sweeping the lash industry! If you're already considering them, you're one of the pioneers in this exciting trend. At Lash Society UK, we're thrilled to be working on incredible designs and are delighted to see your stunning creations shared online!

What Are DIY Lashes? The Best of Both Worlds

DIY lashes are like a magical blend of strip lashes and eyelash extensions. While they won't replace professional extensions, they offer some fantastic benefits. If you can't get a salon appointment, DIY lashes allow you to achieve a beautiful lash look right at home, all at a fraction of the cost.

Take Control of Your Lash Design: Lash Mapping Made Easy

With DIY lashes, you have the power to customise your lash design. Head over to our Instagram @lashsocietyuk and YouTube for lash mapping videos and unleash your inner lash artist. Get creative and experiment with different styles that suit your unique preferences.

The Difference: Application and Natural Look

One significant difference with DIY lashes is the application technique. Instead of applying each lash individually, they are applied in segments, saving you precious time. By focusing on the under lash application, DIY lashes create a more natural look, avoiding the classic strip lash line appearance. Unlike strip lashes, DIY lashes are light enough to be safely applied to the under lash area. Cutting the lashes into segments allows you to securely attach each part, ensuring a seamless blend.

Easy Glue Application: Mascara-Like Technique

Applying DIY lash glue is as simple as applying mascara. For an extra firm hold, some experts suggest adding a layer of glue on the extension itself. This ensures your lashes stay put throughout the day, giving you the confidence to flaunt your fabulous lashes.

Style it Up: Lash Mapping Tips

To achieve your desired look with DIY lashes, try this lash mapping technique:

  1. Aim for 2 segments per cluster, resulting in approximately 4-5 clusters per eye.
  2. For more intricate designs, use single segments to create a choppy mixed layer effect.
