How to Apply Pre-Glued Lashes
Step 1: Prep
✓ Remove any makeup or excess oils from your lashes to maximise wear time.
✓ Use a cotton pad to gently clean the eye area before application.
✓ Ensure your lashes are completely free from mascara as this can affect the adhesive.
✘ Avoid applying eye cream, SPF or moisturiser before application — this can significantly reduce longevity. You can apply them after, but steer clear of oil-based formulas and avoid direct contact with the lashes.
💡 Pro Tip: Curl your natural lashes before applying your cluster lashes for better blend and lift.
Step 2: Carefully Remove The Lash From Tray
Use your lash applicator to gently grip the lash cluster from mid-way up, avoiding the pre-glued base.
Once removed, you can pinch the cluster between your fingers and reposition your applicator for a better application angle — just make sure not to touch the glue.
Step 3: Apply Lashes
Gently apply each lash underneath the base of your natural lashes, approximately 1mm away from the waterline to avoid irritation.
✘ Do not place clusters directly on the waterline.
✓ Slightly overlap the edges of each cluster for a seamless, natural lash line.

Pro Application Tips:
💡 Wipe your lash applicator between clusters to remove any sticky residue.
💡 Use your free hand to lift your eyelid if you're finding application tricky.
💡 Look down into a mirror while applying — it helps you clearly see the underside of your natural lashes.
Step 4: Clamp & Set
Once you're happy with your lash placement, use your lash applicator (or our clamp tool) to gently clamp your natural lashes and the clusters together. This helps the adhesive bond and ensures a longer-lasting hold.
⚠️ Avoid clamping directly on the glue strip — clamp just above it to prevent sticking to the applicator.
💡 Re-clamp your lashes 1–2 times per day to maintain hold.
💡 Instead of one big clamp, use multiple light clamping movements for a more secure and natural set.
Step 5: Aftercare
✓ Avoid water and steam for 24–48 hours post-application for maximum longevity.
✓ The pre-glued base stays tacky — you can reapply a loose cluster if needed.
✓ Re-clamp your lashes every morning with your clamp tool or clean fingertips.
✓ Avoid direct contact with SPF, moisturiser, eye creams, and minimise exposure to moisture.
✓ Sticky residue? Dab a little of our sealant on the affected area, or use a small amount of loose setting powder — it works wonders!
Step 6: Removal
Ensure your hands are clean. Gently peel off each cluster using your fingertip or lash applicator for precision.
⚠️ Always peel slowly and carefully to avoid damaging your natural lashes.
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.
