Hi everyone! Today we will be going over how to apply a Classic set of lashes - here's everything
you'll need to get started, take a screenshot and add it to basket at the end of the video!
We're
going to start our pre-treatment routine with some foam cleanser - this just makes sure that
any makeup residue and any oils are removed from the lashes and the general eyelid area.
The easiest way to rinse foam cleanser is with a little dropper and some lukewarm
water or saline solution, this just ensures that we've not got any residue left over
on the lashes which will impede our attachment. It's completely up to you if you would like to
take a Mini Cooli lash fan just to dry off the lashes between steps of your pre-treatment - they
will dry by themselves, the fan is just quite nice and cooling for our clients.
The next step is our Cleanser and Protein Remover Pads,
so these give a really nice deep cleanse to the lash line and just finish off that cleanse of the
skin surrounding the eyes, which just helps the eyepatches stay in place so they're not
lifting up and moving and getting in your way during the treatment. Now we're going to apply
our eyepatches - this is just to protect those bottom lashes, so slightly pull the eyelid down
to apply the eyepatches. We're not going to put it on the waterline - we don't want it to
upset the eyes - and just to protect any lashes that might just pop out there,
we're going to put some tape over the top of our eyepatches for a bit of extra protection.
Next, we'll move on to the Cleanser and this is alcohol based so it's really great for stripping
the lashes of any oils that might be on them which will get in the way of really great attachment,
so we need to make sure those are broken down. We've gone in here with our long microfiber
brushes just to get the job done a little bit faster. Once you've done your Cleanser it's
really important that we go in with Primer this re-adds moisture after the use of Cleanser so it
keeps the lashes nice and healthy and makes them the perfect surface for the glue to adhere to.
Now we'll move on to our lash map, so we're going to start by marking
the very last lash in the lash line and the very first lash in the lash line,
we'll mark from the center as well just so that we can ensure we've got some nice symmetry.
For this client we've gone for a Dolly style, just to really complement her eyes and her bone
structure. We've gone for C curls in the inner corners and towards the middle of the eye,
and CCs towards the end just to give an extra bit of lift to the lashes in that section.
To make it even easier to attach extensions to the lashes in the inner and outer corners of the eye,
take a small piece of tape and just apply it to the eyelid, and gently lift it up towards
you. This will keep the client's eyes closed so we're still not getting any chemical burn,
but it just means that those lashes are much much easier for us to access - lots and lots
of lash techs struggle with this so if it's something that you have been struggling with
you're definitely not alone but this will absolutely make a huge difference for you!
Starting on our application now, when we dip our extension into the glue we want to make sure we're
not getting a huge amount of glue on there because this will lead to stickies. When you dip a longer
lash in try dipping it about three millimeters in so you've got a really good attachment area.
When you're applying, make sure you isolate fully so that you are not sticking one extension
to multiple lashes and as you're lashing through the lash line skip a few lashes
between each extension - this again will help you to avoid getting stickies through the lash line.
Just taking a quick look at how you hold your placement tweezers - holding them at
the angle you see here means that you'll have a little bit less control over placement and a
little bit of trouble actually placing the lashes in the right position holding the
tweezers at a 45 degree angle as you see here is much, much easier for placement.
Once you've covered all of the natural lashes just go through lash by lash,
layer by layer and just make sure none of those lashes are stuck to its neighbor
so go through and make sure none are stuck side by side, none are stuck on top or underneath and
if you come across any just grip both lashes with your tweezers and gently pull them apart.
To finish off the lash set and cure the glue instantly whilst maintaining flexibility
take a bit of super ponder on two microfiber brushes and just apply it onto the glue bonds
remove your eyepatches carefully ensuring that none of that tape pulls on the bottom lashes
and then reveal your freshly lashed set to your client
