If you're new to Lashify, you might feel a bit overwhelmed by the different products and steps involved. But don't worry—applying Lashify lashes is easier than you think! This guide is designed for beginners, walking you through the entire process from start to finish. Whether you're looking for a natural everyday look or something more dramatic, you'll be able to achieve beautiful, long-lasting lashes with a little practice.

Lashify offers a revolutionary DIY lash extension system that gives you salon-quality results at home. The key to success is preparation and technique. In this article, we'll cover everything you need to know, including how to choose the right lashes, prep your natural lashes, apply the lashes correctly, and care for them to maximize wear. Let's dive in!

What You'll Need to Get Started

Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary products. The Lashify Control Kit includes everything you need for your first application: a wand, bonds, and a set of lashes. For beginners, we recommend starting with a shorter length like the Classic Petit for a natural look. You'll also need a good pair of tweezers and a mirror. Optional but helpful: a lash primer to clean your natural lashes and a sealant for extra hold.

Having the right tools makes the process smoother. Make sure your natural lashes are clean and free of any makeup or oils. If you have oily eyelids, consider using a gentle cleanser beforehand. A well-lit area with a magnifying mirror can also make a big difference, especially when you're just starting out.

• Lashify Control Kit (includes wand, bonds, and lashes)
• Tweezers (preferably curved for better control)
• A clean, dry surface and good lighting
• Optional: lash primer and sealant for extended wear

Step 1: Prepare Your Natural Lashes

Start by washing your face and ensuring your natural lashes are completely clean and dry. Any residual oil or makeup can prevent the bond from adhering properly. If you have particularly oily lids, you can use a micellar water or an oil-free cleanser. Avoid using any moisturizer or eye cream on your lids before application.

Next, brush your natural lashes upward with a clean spoolie. This helps separate them and gives you a better surface for bonding. If your lashes are straight, you may want to curl them first to help them blend with the Lashify lashes. However, this step is optional—many beginners skip it and still get great results.

Step 2: Apply the Bond

Shake the bond bottle well before use. Using the wand provided, apply a thin, even layer of bond along your natural lash line, as close to the base as possible. Don't apply too much—a little goes a long way. Wait about 30 seconds for the bond to become tacky. It should feel sticky to the touch, not wet. This tackiness is what holds the lashes in place.

For beginners, we recommend using the Clear Bond as it dries invisibly and is forgiving if you make a mistake. If you want a more dramatic look, you can use the Black Bond, which creates a darker lash line. Practice with Clear Bond first to get the hang of the application.

Step 3: Pick Up and Apply the Lash

Using your tweezers, gently grasp a Lashify lash from the tray. Hold it by the tip to avoid damaging the base. Dip the base of the lash into the bond (or use the wand to apply a tiny amount to the lash base). Wait a few seconds for it to become tacky.

Now, place the lash underneath your natural lashes, as close to the lash line as possible. Press it gently against your natural lashes using the wand or your tweezers. Hold for a few seconds to allow the bond to set. Repeat this process for each lash, working from the outer corner inward. For a natural look, use shorter lashes on the inner corner and longer ones on the outer corner.

• Start with the outer corner and work inward for easier placement.
• Use a mirror placed below eye level to see your lash line clearly.
• Don't rush—take your time to position each lash correctly.

Step 4: Fuse and Set the Lashes

Once all lashes are applied, use the wand to gently press them together with your natural lashes. This fusing step helps create a seamless blend. You can also use the wand to gently curl the lashes upward for a more lifted look. If you have a lash sealer, apply a thin layer over the bonds to lock everything in place and extend wear.

Allow the bond to dry completely for about 1-2 minutes before opening your eyes fully. Avoid getting the lashes wet for the first hour. With proper application, your Lashify lashes can last for days, depending on your skin type and daily activities.

Tips for Beginners: Common Mistakes to Avoid

One common mistake is applying too much bond. A thin, even layer is all you need. Excess bond can become clumpy and noticeable. Another mistake is placing the lashes too far from the lash line, which can cause them to lift. Practice makes perfect—don't be discouraged if your first application isn't flawless.

Also, avoid using oil-based makeup removers or cleansers around your eyes, as they can weaken the bond. Instead, use water-based products. When removing your lashes, be gentle and use a dedicated lash remover or oil-free micellar water. With care, you can reuse your Lashify lashes multiple times.

• Don't apply bond to your eyelids—only to your natural lashes.
• Avoid touching the lashes excessively after application.
• Store your lashes in the original tray to maintain their shape.

Choosing the Right Lash Style for Beginners

Lashify offers a variety of lash styles, lengths, and curls. For beginners, we recommend starting with a natural style like the Classic Petit, which provides a subtle enhancement without being too dramatic. If you want a bit more volume, the Curl / Black / 14mm - Long is a great option for a wispy, lifted look.

You can also experiment with different combinations. For example, use shorter lashes on the inner corner and longer ones on the outer corner to create a cat-eye effect. As you gain confidence, you can try more dramatic styles. Remember, the key is to choose lashes that complement your eye shape and desired look.

Caring for Your Lashify Lashes

To make your lashes last longer, clean them after each wear. Gently remove any bond residue using a lint-free cloth and a bit of micellar water. Avoid using oil-based products, as they can damage the lash fibers. Store your lashes in the original tray to keep them in shape.

With proper care, a set of Lashify lashes can be reused up to 10-15 times. This makes them a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to salon extensions. If you notice any curling or misshaping, you can gently reshape them with the wand and a bit of heat from a hairdryer (on low setting).

Applying Lashify lashes is a skill that gets easier with practice. Start with a simple style like the Classic Petit, follow the steps outlined above, and soon you'll be able to achieve a flawless lash look in minutes. For a complete beginner-friendly set, explore the Lashify Control Kit, which includes everything you need to get started. Happy lashing!
