How to Apply Pre-Glued Lashes
Step 1: Prep
Prep your natural lashes by removing any makeup or excess oils to maximise wear time. Use a cotton pad to clean eye area before application. Ensure that your lashes are free from mascara, as this may affect the adhesive.
Do not apply eye cream, SPF or moisturiser before applying the lashes. This will significantly decrease longevity. You can apply these after, but avoid oil based formulas and direct contact with the lashes.
Pro Tip: Curl your natural lashes before applying your cluster lash.
Step 2: Carefully Remove The Lash From Tray
Be careful when removing the lash from your lash tray. Using your lash applicator, delicately grip from mid-way up the lashes.
Once out of the tray, you may want to pinch the cluster with your fingers and re-position the lash applicator, to allow for a better angle when applying. When pinching, avoid contact with the glue.
Step 3: Apply Lashes
Using the lash applicator, gently apply each cluster underneath the base of your natural lashes, 1mm away from the waterline to avoid possible irritation. For maximum longevity, try and overlap the edges of the clusters ever so slightly. This also ensures a more even look along your lash line.
Do not place the cluster on your waterline.

Lash Mapping Guide
Pro Tips:
(1) Wipe your lash applicator between clusters to remove any sticky residue
(2) If you're struggling with application, use your free hand to lift up your eyelid whilst applying
(3) Look down into a mirror while applying. This allows you to clearly see the underside of the natural lash
Step 4: Clamp & Set
Once you’re satisfied with your application, you can use the lash applicator (or our clamp tool) to clamp down on your natural lashes and the lash clusters. This will help the adhesive set. Ensure that you give your lashes a good press as this will help them last a lot longer.
(1) When clamping, avoid direct contact with the glue strip.
(2) Multiple light clamps are better than one big one.
Important: Re-clamp your lashes 1-2 times per day. This will help them last a lot longer.
Step 5: Aftercare
(1) For maximum longevity, we recommend keeping your lashes away from water and steam for 24-48 hours after application.
(2) The pre-glued base will stay tacky and can be reapplied if a cluster comes loose.
(3) To ensure maximum days of wear, re-clamp your lashes every morning using the clamp tool, or carefully using your fingers.
(4) Avoid direct contact with SPF, moisturiser, eye cream and keep direct exposure to moisture to a minimum to ensure maximum days of wear.
(5) Trouble with stickyness? If you have any sticky residue on your lashes after application, you can dab a little bit of our sealant on the area, which will reduce stickyness. You can also use a very small amount of loose setting powder on the area - this works wonders!
Step 6: Removal
First, ensure your hands are clean. Then, gently peel the clusters off using your fingertip or lash applicator for precision and care. Ensure that you do this slowly and gently.
How to get the most out of your lashes
- Apply your lashes to a clean, dry eye area. Please do not apply onto eye area with SPF, moisturiser or eye cream. This will significantly reduce the longevity of the lashes.
- After applying, ensure that you clamp well! This is what sets your lashes.
- Re-clamp your lashes every morning, to keep them secured in place.
- After applying lashes, wait 24 hours before exposing them to direct contact with water. During showers or face washing, avoid direct water contact with the eyes.
- Use cotton pads to clean the eye area around the lashes before use. This prevents oils from touching the lashes, which can weaken the bond and reduce wear time.
- Avoid sleeping on your face to maintain lash adhesive longevity. If you are a side-sleeper, it may be worth investing in an eye mask with indents in it.
- Leave a few natural lashes free on the outer corner while applying the first cluster for a more natural look. Ensure there are no gaps between lash segments as you work towards the inner corner.

While wearing pre-glued lashes, you can certainly keep your face/eye area clean and shower with them on. That being said, try to avoid direct contact with water for at least the first 24 hours and ideally the first 48 hours. This will help you get more longevity from the lashes. Try to avoid rubbing the lashes when wet.
When cleansing around the eyes, gently navigate with a cotton swab to reach any tricky spots. If there's makeup on the lashes, carefully dab it off with a water-dampened cotton swab. It's important to steer clear of oil-based products near the eyes, as oils can weaken the adhesive.
Absolutely not. If you find that you're aware of the Cluster Lashes while wearing them, it's a sign that they haven't been placed accurately. In such instances, it's best to take them off and reapply for a more comfortable, seamless fit.
Whilst you can get 3-5 days wear out of our press-on lashes with correct aftercare, we do not recommend reusing them.

Applying press-on lashes is surprisingly straightforward. While first-time users might need a little practice, it's generally a simple process. These pre-glued lash clusters are designed to be placed underneath your natural lashes, not over them. This ensures the bands merge seamlessly with your lashes, creating a very natural appearance.
Here's how you do it:
- Gently remove a lash cluster from the tray, making sure not to touch the pre-bonded section near the band.
- Position the cluster just below your natural lashes, keeping clear of the waterline.
- Use the applicator to press the clusters and your natural lashes together, securing the false lashes in place.
Pro tip: For precise placement, it's helpful to look downwards into a magnifying mirror. This approach makes it easier to avoid the waterline while applying the clusters.
If you have any sticky residue on your lashes after application, you can dab a little bit of our seal on the area, which will reduce stickyness. You can also use a very small amount of loose setting powder on the area.
This will depend on how you use the cluster lashes. An average eye takes between 4-6 clusters for a full set of lashes (8-12 for both eyes). Our 5 row packs of pre-glued cluster lashes contain 50-60 cluster lashes (depending on the width of the clusters of that particular style). This means that depending on your eye width, you will get around 6 fresh sets of lashes per pack, each lasting 5 days of wear (30 days wear per pack).
If you only use a couple of clusters for a cat-eye on the outer corner of your eyes, you will get a lot more use out of one pack.
First, ensure your hands are clean. Then, gently peel the clusters off using your fingertip or lash applicator for precision and care. Ensure that you do this slowly and gently.
If they are still firm on your eye and you want to remove them earlier than the 5 days wear time, the process is the exact same.
- When clamping your lashes, do so with quick, soft clamping movements, rather than a heavy clamp.
- When clamping, clamp half way up the lash, rather than directly on the pre-glued strip.
- Ensure that your clamping tool is completely free from sticky residue.
