TIP #1 MAKE SURE TO CLEANSE YOUR CLIENT'S EYES ( pre- application )

Ensure that you cleanse the client's eyes and eyelids using lash foam shampoo with a gentle cleansing formula that removes eye makeup and impurities from lashes. Ensure that the patches you apply stick very well to the client's skin. 

 

TIP #2 MAKE SURE YOUR CLIENT IS LOOKING UP STRAIGHT

As you work with lash extension patches to isolate the layers of your client's lashes, make sure your clients are looking straight up (not backward) and that they are not talking. It will ensure that your client's comfort is taken into account and the patches are not moving.

 

TIP #3 KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE WATERLINE

Getting the lashes to stay down while staying away from the client's eye is one of the most challenging things. Keep a distance of at least 2-3mm between the pads and the client's waterline.

Some lash pads tend to expand or "melt when exposed to moisture and heated." You must always keep the pad 2-3 mm away from the waterline to avoid this.

TIP #4 SECURE THE PATCHES PROPERLY ( if needed )

To keep down any extra lashes that may come out, apply two strips of micropore tape about an inch and a half long down the lash line.

When your client closes their eyes, ask if they feel any pinching or discomfort. Then, with their eyes closed, gently tug the tape and pads to adjust, ensuring their comfort is taken into account.

STEP #2  Take another pair of lash patches underneath the client's lashes. By ensuring the sticky part of the lash, patches are facing the eyelid. Lift the lashes onto the eyelid using the lash patches. Stick the patches onto the client's eyelid revealing the lower layer of the client's lashes.

STEP #4 Apply the extensions to the natural lashes that are exposed. You will have a much easier time working with the exposed lashes since they will be easier to view with this technique. It is an incredible hack to isolate each layer individually if you use a different mapping for your layering.

ADVANTAGES OF USING HIGH-QUALITY UNDER-EYE PATCHES FOR EYELASH EXTENSIONS

1. It adheres firmly to the client's skin and does not slip or move during application.
2. It has a similar form to the under-eye area and a good hold on the bottom lashes.
3. It allows every lash artist to quickly grasp the inner and outer corners of the bottom lashes.
4. The under-eye patches should be light in color to see the lashes.

Great patches work as a blank canvas for the lash artist to create a map. Lash mapping is an excellent technique for staying on track and achieving the desired look or style.

 

 

HOW TO APPLY UNDER-EYE PATCHES FOR EYELASH EXTENSIONS?

1. Use lash foam shampoo that has a gentle cleansing formula that removes eye makeup and impurities from lashes to clean and dry your client's eye area, especially if the client has oily skin since the lashes will not adhere properly.
2. Remove the lash patches from the plastic gently.
3. Make sure that when you apply it to the top of the lower lashes, there is no contact with your client's eye or in the waterline.
4. When the lash extension application process is finished, gently remove the patches from the outside corner area.

REMEMBER:

• When applying lash patches, take your time.
• Keep an eye on your isolation tweezers. In most cases, their tips should not contact the eye pad.
• Check the eye pads. It's always better to detect 2 or 3 lower lashes sticking out or even glued together early than to find 20 lower lashes already firmly glued to the upper ones.

HOW TO TAPE BOTTOM LASHES?

1. I love using lash tape because it works well to secure short and fine bottom lashes that point upwards. It also helps press down puffy under eyes or high cheekbones.
2. Cut about 1.5 inches. Start with the outer corners and place the lash tape along the line while avoiding the waterline.
3. You'll do the same on the inner corners to form an "X."
4. Once your client's eyes are closed, make sure to check that all the lashes are secured and that the tape isn't riding up to the waterline. If it is, adjust it gently.

TIP: You can use a sensitive tape that's flexible to wrap comfortably around the under eyes. It should have the perfect amount of stickiness while being gentle enough to be pain-free while removing.
