Achieving a dramatic, glamorous look is all about the eyes, and nothing makes them pop like beautifully stacked lashes. Stacking lashes involves layering multiple lash clusters to create customized volume and length, giving you that show-stopping effect perfect for special occasions or when you simply want to elevate your everyday look. Here's a step-by-step guide to stacking lashes using Lively Cosmetics' premium DIY lash products.
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before you begin, ensure you have the following Lively Cosmetics essentials:
- Lash Clusters: Choose from styles like "Bold" for intense volume or "Wispy Wet Set" for a trendy, feathery appearance.
- Lash Bond and Seal: This dual-ended adhesive system ensures a secure hold and a natural finish.
- Precision Tweezers: For accurate placement of lash clusters.
- Lash Remover: To gently remove lashes without damaging your natural ones
For a comprehensive set, consider the DIY Lash Cluster Kit, which includes all these tools along with 144 clusters in "Classy" and "Sassy" styles.
Step 2: Prepare Your Natural Lashes
Start with clean, makeup-free lashes. Use an oil-free cleanser to remove any dirt or residue, ensuring optimal adhesion.
Step 3: Apply the Bond
Using the bond end of the Lash Bond and Seal, apply a thin layer to your natural lashes, focusing on the base. Allow it to become tacky for about 30 seconds before proceeding.
Step 4: Layer Your Lash Clusters
- First Layer: Using the precision tweezers, pick up a lash cluster and place it on the underside of your natural lashes, close to the lash line but avoiding contact with the skin. Start from the outer corner and work your way inwards.
- Second Layer: Select a different style or length to add dimension. Place this cluster slightly above or overlapping the first layer to create a fuller look
- Continue Layering: Repeat the process, mixing styles like "Hybrid" for a textured effect or "40D Curl Mega Volume" for an ultra-glamorous appearance.
Step 5: Seal the Deal
Once satisfied with the layering, use the seal end of the Lash Bond and Seal to lock the clusters in place. This not only secures the lashes but also eliminates any sticky residue, providing a comfortable wear.
Step 6: Final Touches
Gently press the lashes with the tweezers to ensure all clusters are well-adhered. Avoid using mascara, as Lively Cosmetics' lashes are designed to deliver maximum impact on their own.
Tips for Long-Lasting Wear:
- Avoid Oil-Based Products: They can weaken the adhesive bond
- Be Gentle: Refrain from rubbing your eyes or pulling at the lashes.
- Proper Removal: Use the provided lash remover to safely take off the clusters without harming your natural lashes.
By following these steps, you can achieve a customized, dramatic lash look that enhances your eyes and adds a touch of glamour to any makeup style. Explore Lively Cosmetics' range of lash products to find the perfect styles for stacking and create your own signature look.
