What You Need

Before you start, make sure you have the right tools and products:

  • Brown lashes (0.03-0.07mm for narrow spikes OR 0.15mm if you’re using classic lashes as spikes)

  • Lash primer (to help with better retention)

  • Microfiber brushes (for precise application)

  • Lash cleanser (to remove oil and buildup)

  • Tweezers (for isolation and placement)

  • Lash adhesive (match it to your humidity and temperature; brown lash adhesive is an option)

  • Lash tape (for lifting lids and securing lower lashes)

  • Hydrogel pads (for comfort and skin protection)

  • Super bonder (to seal the adhesive and improve retention)

 

Step 1: Preparing the Natural Lashes

A clean base is essential for lash retention.

  1. Use a lash cleanser to remove oil, makeup, and debris.

  2. Apply lash primer to improve bonding and ensure the adhesive grabs the lashes properly.

Clients who skip this step will experience poor retention, so make sure they come in with clean, makeup-free lashes or provide a quick lash bath before starting.

Step 2: Securing the Bottom Lashes

To prevent the lower lashes from sticking to the upper lashes:

  • Use hydrogel pads for comfort and protection.

  • Apply lash tape if needed to lift the lids slightly for better visibility.

A properly prepped eye area allows for faster and more precise application.

Step 3: Choosing the Right Lashes

For a Wispy Wet Set, lash selection is key.

  • Use brown lashes to create a softer look that blends seamlessly with the client's natural features.

  • Choose a mix of short and long lengths to create spikes.

  • Lashes should be 0.03mm to 0.07mm to form structured, narrow spikes.

Brown lashes work well for clients with lighter features or those wanting a softer appearance while still achieving wispy texture.

Step 4: Creating the Wet Look Spikes

The secret to the Wet Set Lash effect is in how the lashes are grouped together.

  • Dip a small bunch of lashes into the adhesive just enough to keep them together without fanning out.

  • Let the adhesive set slightly before placing the spike on a natural lash.

  • The key is to control the amount of adhesive—too much will make the spike collapse, and too little won’t hold its shape.

Your spikes should be structured, sharp, and evenly spaced for the best results.

Step 5: Mapping the Wispy Look

Mapping helps create the perfect balance between texture and structure.

A common lash map for Wispy Wet Set Lashes looks like this:

  • Inner corner: 7-9mm

  • Mid-section: 10-12mm

  • Outer corner: 11-13mm

To create dimension and movement, leave spaces between the spikes and fill in with shorter classic or narrow volume lashes. This prevents the set from looking too dense or heavy.

Step 6: Using the Right Adhesive

Your lash adhesive plays a huge role in retention.

  • Make sure your humidity and temperature match your adhesive’s drying time.

  • If using brown lashes, a brown adhesive can help blend everything seamlessly.

  • Dip only the very tip of the spike into the adhesive to avoid excess buildup.

Using the wrong adhesive can cause poor bonding, stickies, or retention issues, so always adjust based on your working environment.

Step 7: Applying the Extensions

Now it’s time to build the set!

  1. Isolate a natural lash using tweezers.

  2. Place the wet look spike onto the natural lash base, ensuring full contact for strong retention.

  3. Repeat the process while maintaining even spacing.

Pro Tip: Work in layers! Apply the longest spikes first, then go back and fill in the gaps with shorter lengths for a balanced look.

Step 8: Securing the Bond with Super Bonder

Once you’ve completed the set, apply super bonder to:

✔ Speed up curing (reducing fumes and sensitivity)
✔ Improve retention (lashes last longer)
✔ Increase flexibility (reducing brittleness)

Super bonder makes a huge difference in how long your client’s lashes last!

Step 9: Final Check and Adjustments

Before your client leaves:

  • Check for stickies (lashes that are glued together).

  • Ensure spikes are evenly spaced and symmetrical.

  • Remove lash tape and hydrogel pads carefully to avoid discomfort.

Your client should leave with a set that looks polished and lasts.

Aftercare Advice for Clients

Educating your client on aftercare is just as important as the application.

Tell them to:

❌ Avoid steam, water, and heavy sweating for 24 hours.
❌ Skip oil-based products around the eyes.
✔ Clean lashes with a lash cleanser daily to prevent buildup.
✔ Brush gently with a spoolie to maintain the spiked look.
✔ Book a refill every 2-3 weeks to keep their lashes fresh.

Clients who follow these steps will keep their Wispy Wet Set looking its best and coming back for refills!
