To use glitter lashes, carefully apply glitter to the tips of lash extensions using lash glue, allow them to dry, and then apply them to your natural lashes.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Preparation: Gather your supplies. You'll need:
- Glitter lashes (fan, spike, or single extensions)
- Crystal Bond clear lash glue (or a similar lash-safe adhesive)
- Fine glitter of your chosen color
- A clean surface or tray
- Applicator tool (e.g., micro brush or toothpick)
-
Applying Glitter:
- Dip in Glue: Use the applicator tool to carefully apply a small amount of lash glue to the tips of the lash extension. Focus on the area you want to be glittered.
- Dip in Glitter: Gently dip the glue-covered tip into the glitter.
- Remove Excess: Tap off any excess glitter to prevent clumping and fallout. A gentle shake can also help.
-
Drying:
- Allow to Dry: Let the glittered lash extension dry completely on a clean surface. This usually takes a few minutes. Ensure the glue is fully set before proceeding.
-
Application to Natural Lashes:
- Apply as Usual: Once dry, apply the glitter lash extension to your natural lashes using the standard lash extension application technique. This process depends on whether you are using strip lashes or individual extensions.
- For strip lashes, apply lash glue to the band of the glitter lash and adhere it to your eyelid, as close as possible to the lash line.
- For individual extensions, apply a small amount of lash glue to the base of the extension and attach it to a single natural lash.
- Apply as Usual: Once dry, apply the glitter lash extension to your natural lashes using the standard lash extension application technique. This process depends on whether you are using strip lashes or individual extensions.
Important Considerations:
- Glitter Quality: Use cosmetic-grade glitter to ensure it is safe for use near your eyes. Avoid craft glitter, as it can be harmful.
- Glue Safety: Always use a lash glue that is specifically formulated for lash extensions and is safe for use on the skin around your eyes.
- Placement: Experiment with different placement options. You can apply glitter lashes to the outer corners of your eyes for a subtle sparkle, or use them throughout your lash line for a bolder look.
By following these steps, you can effectively and safely use glitter lashes to add a touch of sparkle to your look.
