Don't get it in you're eye it nips like mad! Grin

Good luck, I've tried and failed many times, just never got the hang of it. I'm going to lurk on here for some tips!

Make sure you use a good lash glue. A tip I read online is to ensure the glue is tacky before you try and stick your lashes down. The glue supplied in my kit was really watery and just wouldn't hold my lashes in place. In the end, I dashed to Superdrug and bought a lash glue which worked so much better.

Take your time in sticking your lashes in place. Mine kind of clumped together, so the next time i do them, I'm going to stick them down a couple at a time to ensure they are straight.

All in all, I was pretty pleased with them. It wasn't brilliant, but a good first attempt.

Good luck.

I did this for the first time last week. It was a bit fiddly but ok. I also used different lash glue. I did one eye at a time and used the medium mould thing.

I was really pleased with the results.

Yy, to glue supplied with it being shite. I ended up buying some specific lash lift glue from a professional brand and that made all the difference. And as above, leave for 30 seconds to get tacky and work section by section.

Also, v. important, only apply the perm solution to the base of the lashes not all the way up.

I was really impressed by my own work in the end after first failing with the crap glue (never got to perming them). Tinted my lashes after with a blue/black dye and it looked way better than when I get it done professionally.

The glue is crap, I’m ordering eyelure 18hr glue with my Tesco shop.

Superdrug’s website is down šŸ™„

Well I’ve done it. Left eye used a smaller pad so that one looks better. The bigger pad didn’t give as good a result.

I have the straightest curl resistant hair ever so we’ll see how long it lasts šŸ¤ØšŸ¤”.

The eyelure glue worked well and fits in the kit box.

What and how and just... how?!! Please could you give instructions and the products you used?

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/07/2020 13:38

I used this kit, cotton buds, an old clean mascara wand & eyelure false lash glue in clear.

Then I watched a YouTube video. The instructions are all on the pack.
