How Do You Apply Mink Lashes?

Mink eyelashes are not the same as standard eyelashes. Because the eyelash hair is handcrafted, they are referred to as mink eyelashes. Mink lashes are popular since they are a cruelty-free product.

Lashes are a must-have for every glam outfit.  Mink Lashes are a fantastic choice for you, whether you want to add some drama to your going-out makeup look or want to improve your natural lashes with some thick volume and stunning length. To maintain the quality of your lashes, you’ll need to know how to apply and remove them effectively.

Trim lashes to Fit Your Eyelids

We are all born with different eye shapes, not every set of lashes will be the correct match for your eyes right out of the box. Some of us have more enormous eyes, so there’s no need to trim our lashes, but those with smaller eyes will need to cut our lashes to ensure there’s no excess lash band hanging off the end of our eye. Hold the lashes to your lids, measure the strip against your actual eyelid, and cut away the excess, and you’ll have a perfect set of lashes that suits your eyelids.

Strategically apply lash glue.

After applying a slight adhesive coating on the band, be gentle with the glue, no one wants clumpy glue sticking to their lashes. Allow 30 seconds to pass before applying. The adhesive should be tacky and sticky rather than wet. Gently tap your finger on the band to ensure that the glue has dried to a sticky consistency. Bend the lash band to meet the ends of the band to ensure that the glue is evenly dispersed throughout the band. It ensures that the adhesive is administered to the lashes’ ends, which will help them cling better and prevent lifting throughout the day.

Look downwards in the mirror.

It is a sensitive step, even beauty gurus fear this step. Without getting caught in our actual lashes, the lash band should be as close to the lash line as feasible.

When applying lashes, it’s customary for people to try to stare directly into their mirrors. However, this isn’t the best technique to do it because you’ll most likely poke yourself in the eye as you tilt your head back at unnatural angles.

Place a mirror beneath your face and look down into it instead. It will cause your upper eyelid to stretch, almost as if you were closing your eyes, giving you more room to apply your mink lashes. It will also provide you with a better view of your eye, allowing you to apply your lashes precisely. When applying the lashes, make sure you don’t close your eyes because this will change the form of your eyes. Use tweezers to apply your mink lashes if your hands are unsteady or you’re having trouble getting close to the lash line.

Camouflage the Band

After you’ve applied your lashes, here is the final step. To hide the band and make those lashes pop, swoop a groomed swoop of eyeliner across the lash line. We recommend using an angled makeup brush to produce a flawless appearance and conceal the lash band better when applying gel eyeliner.

How to Care for Mink Lashes

When you wash and preserve your mink lashes properly, they can last up to 25 times, which means you not only get to wear your favorite lashes again and again, but you also save money.

• Mink Lashes need gentle handling. When picking them up, grab them by the band as much as possible to avoid the mink fur. When applying or removing makeup, don’t pull or tug. If you’re having trouble removing the lashes from your eyelid, wet a cotton swab and gently massage it over the band to release the glue.
• Before handling artificial eyelashes, make sure your hands and any instruments you’re using are thoroughly cleaned, including tweezers and eyelash curlers. It is critical not to get any bacteria in or around the eyes; thus, washing your hands and instruments helps to reduce the chance of infection.
• Cleaning the lash band is necessary for individuals who reuse their lashes frequently since it removes any bacteria that may have built up and any makeup residue. Use a light eye makeup remover that is gentle enough for delicate skin.

Apply a small amount on the tip of a cotton bud and glide it along with the lash band lightly. Rep this procedure until both fake lashes are clear of adhesive, makeup, and bacteria. Water, makeup remover, alcohol, or any other liquid can completely submerge or saturate your lashes, causing damage.

• Finding a safe and comfortable place to store your lashes is one of the final but most critical tasks in caring for them. Place them back into the box in which you received them.

Not only does storing your lashes keep them secure, but it also keeps them clean and free of dust, grime, and bacteria. It will also help them keep their shape after they’ve been worn.
