To know if an eyelash extension technician is skilled or not, look at the glue base of the eyelash extensions. The correct technique of applying eyelash glue will determine the beauty and durability of the eyelashes. However, not everyone performs the technique correctly, especially those who are new to the profession or self-taught.

COMMON MISTAKES WHEN APPLYING EYELASH GLUE

Actually, taking eyelash glue looks quite simple, but it is actually a technique. You must know how to apply glue so that the glue sticks to the right position, not too much and not too little.

Here are some mistakes that new students of Eyelash Extension often make:

+ Dropping too much or too little glue: when dropping too little glue, the glue will dry quickly, the glue will not stick to the eyelash enough, dropping too much will still have some glue left after connecting 2 rows of eyelashes, which is very wasteful.

+ After applying glue, flip the eyelash upwards: like after taking the glue, do not pull it out but twist the eyelash upwards, causing the glue to flow down the middle of the eyelash, damaging the eyelash.

+ Dip the eyelashes deep into the bottom of the glue: normally the glue will dry from the bottom up, so you should only dip the glue in the middle of the glue drop, to ensure the glue is always fresh.

+ Insert the eyelash straight into the glue: this is the wrong way to get the glue, causing the glue to not stick to the eyelash as desired.

+ Pull the eyelashes out of the glue too quickly: pulling the glue too quickly will cause the glue to condense on the eyelash.

+ Slow glue removal: after dipping the glue, you must immediately attach it to the real eyelash, if the operation is slow at this time, the glue is a bit dry, the adhesion will no longer be strong.

+ Too much glue: after dipping the glue, do not dip it once but pull the eyelash back and forth because you are afraid that the glue will not stick enough, which will accidentally make the glue layer very thick.

CORRECT TECHNIQUE FOR REMOVING EYELASH GLUE

After learning about common mistakes when applying eyelash glue, do you know why you are not applying the glue well and beautifully? Correct technique for applying eyelash glue:

Shake the eyelash glue well for about 30 seconds before applying the glue.

You should apply just enough glue, after many times of applying eyelash extensions, you will have experience in measuring the appropriate amount of glue.

Place the eyelash on its back, at a 45 degree angle, dip the eyelash down from the top of the glue and then slowly pull it out horizontally.

Take the glue from the middle of the drop of glue up to the surface, do not dip the eyelash down to the bottom of the glue.

When applying eyelash glue correctly, the eyelashes will be covered with tiny drops at the base of the eyelashes, then spread evenly on the real eyelashes, creating a strong adhesion.

With Classic eyelashes: You apply glue from the base of the eyelashes up 2-3 mm.

With Volume eyelashes: the eyelash glue should not exceed the intersection of the eyelashes, so it should be a short distance from that point.

After applying the eyelash glue, quickly place it on the real eyelashes neatly, avoiding the situation where the eyelashes have not been applied yet and have dried.

Actually, applying eyelash glue correctly is not as complicated as you think. Just be trained in eyelash extension properly, if you practice a lot, you will naturally get used to it, and take the right strand.

HOW TO PRESERVE EYELASH EXTENSION GLUE TO KEEP IT IN GOOD QUALITY

Surely every eyelash extension technician will know that the quality of eyelash glue is as important as the technique of taking eyelash glue, right? Even if you are good at taking glue, if the quality of the glue is bad, the result will not be beautiful and durable.

Properly storing the glue will keep the quality of the glue in the best condition:

- Close the lid tightly and store the eyelash glue in a cool place. The best condition is to always store it in the refrigerator.

- If you don't have a refrigerator, put the glue in a jar of rice, because rice has a very good ability to absorb moisture.

- Always keep the glue in a box or a plastic bag with a lid

- When taking out the eyelash glue to use, you should wipe off the glue stuck to the dropper tip of the bottle, to get the fresh glue inside.

- If the glue is frozen at the tip, take out the eyelash water and use a small cotton swab to clean the hardened glue. Tilt the bottle sideways when cleaning so that water does not flow inside.
