Getting Started with Glued Lash Clusters

LIT Lashes — How-To Guide

Glued Lash Clusters
Step by Step


A little more prep than press-on, but worth it for the longer hold and salon-quality finish. Here's everything you need to know.

What's in Your Starter Pack

If you didn't buy a starter pack, make sure you have all of the above before starting. The lash wand is optional but helpful.

Before You Begin
  • Wash your face and ensure lashes are clean and oil-free — use an oil-free cleanser or micellar water
  • No mascara — clusters go on bare lashes
  • Place a mirror below face level so you're looking down into it — much easier for placement
  • Work in a well-lit area
Application Steps
Step 01
Apply the Bond

Using the applicator, lightly brush the bond onto the underside of your natural lashes near the base — not the waterline, and not your skin. A little goes a long way. If you apply too much, use the lash wand to remove some and separate the lashes.

Step 02
Apply the Clusters
  • Use tweezers to gently pick up a lash cluster
  • Start from the outer corner of your eye and work inwards
  • Apply the cluster underneath your natural lashes, about 1mm from the lash line — not touching skin
  • Press the cluster gently upward to attach
💡 Pro tip: Rest the cluster on the bond area, then "hug" it into place using tweezers or fingers. Don't use too much glue or it'll get messy.

Not sure what size to start with? Try a few 12mm in the outer corner, working inwards. Place a 14mm in the middle of your eye, then back to 12mm and finish with a 10mm in the inner corner. That's a solid starter look.
Step 03
Fuse & Squeeze

Once all clusters are placed, squeeze your natural lashes and the clusters together with tweezers or fingers for about 5 seconds per section. This locks them in. If you've used a lot of glue, fingers work better than tweezers for this step.

Step 04
Seal

Apply a tiny amount of sealer to the base of the clusters. This removes tackiness and extends wear significantly.

⚠️ First 24 hours: Don't get your lashes wet. Avoid steam, heavy sweating, or oil-based skincare near your eyes.
Removal
  1. Apply the remover directly to the base of your lashes using the applicator
  2. Let it sit for 30–60 seconds, then gently massage it into the lashes
  3. Use fingers or tweezers to slide clusters off gently
  4. Wash your eyes with water and pat dry
  5. Clean your natural lashes with oil-free cleanser
❗️ Never pull on the lashes. If they resist, apply more remover and wait. Your natural lashes will be completely intact after removal — if they're not, something went wrong with the removal process.
Reuse & Care
  • With gentle removal and cleaning, clusters can be reused 2–4 times
  • Clean with micellar water and store dry

Tips for First-Timers
  • Don't attempt this for the first time when you're running late. It might look easy on Instagram, but the first 2–3 applications take most people 20+ minutes. That's completely normal — it gets much faster.
  • Start with shorter clusters until you master the technique
  • Use a magnifying mirror angled below you — looking down makes placement so much easier
  • Practice on one eye first before committing to both

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do glued lash clusters last? +
With proper application and sealing, glued clusters typically last several days. Avoid oil-based products near your eyes and don't get them wet in the first 24 hours after application.
Do glued lashes damage natural lashes? +
No — when removed correctly using the remover, your natural lashes will be completely intact. Never pull or force removal. If lashes resist, apply more remover and wait longer.
Can I shower with glued lash clusters? +
Wait 24 hours after application before getting them wet. After that, they are waterproof and can be worn while showering. Avoid steam and saunas.
What's the difference between press-on and glued lashes? +
Press-on lashes have adhesive already built in — no glue needed, just tweezers. Glued lashes require bond, sealer, and remover but offer a stronger hold and a more seamless, natural finish. Press-on is faster and easier; glued gives a more salon-like result.
Can I reuse glued lash clusters? +
Yes — with gentle removal and cleaning with micellar water, clusters can typically be reused 2–4 times. Store them dry.
