The four-step lash routine
Better results start with identifying the cause, not adding more glue.
Check the fit against your lash line before adding adhesive. Trim the outer end if needed.
Follow your adhesive's instructions, then position the strip close to your natural lash line without touching the eye.
Loosen the adhesive gently with an appropriate remover. Never pull forcefully.
Remove residue as directed, let lashes dry and store them in their tray to protect their shape.
