Glued How To

What you'll need

01 Bond

Your adhesive. Applied thinly to the base of your natural lashes before each cluster.

02 Sealer

Locks the bond in place, removes tackiness, and significantly extends wear time.

03 Tweezers

For precision placement and pressing each cluster into position with control.

04 Clean Lashes

Always start oil-free. No mascara, no serum, no residue — just clean, dry lashes.

Four easy steps

01

Prep

Bond your lashes

Make sure your natural lashes are completely clean and oil-free. Apply a thin, even layer of Bond along the base of your lashes — start at one end and work across. A little goes a long way; resist the urge to over-apply.

02

Place

Position each cluster

Look down into your mirror — this angle gives you the best view of your lash line. Using your tweezers, slide each cluster underneath your natural lashes and position it 1–2 mm above the waterline. Gripping the cluster near the top gives you the most precise control.

03

Seal

Lock it in

Apply Sealer only along the root and base of the lash — not along the full length. This removes tackiness and locks everything firmly in place. Applying too much, or running it along the whole lash, can make them look stiff and hard, so keep it focused at the root.

04

Clamp

Secure with a gentle clamp

To make sure the clusters are securely attached, use your tweezers to lightly clamp the clusters against your natural lashes. Keep it gentle and brief — the bond can be sticky, so take care not to accidentally pull a cluster off as you release.

Pro tip — Dab a tiny amount of Sealer onto your tweezers before clamping. It stops the clusters from sticking to the tool.

Off in minutes,
no damage done

1

Soak the bond line

Apply Remover along the base of the clusters, directly on the bond line. Let it sit for 30–60 seconds — patience here makes all the difference and ensures a painless, clean release.

2

Slide off — don't pull

Once the bond has dissolved, the clusters should glide off with no resistance. Never tug or force them. If there's any resistance, apply a little more Remover and wait another 30 seconds.

3

Cleanse your lashes

Remove any remaining bond from your natural lashes using a lash cleanser or gentle micellar water. Your lashes are now clean, undamaged, and ready for next time.

Make them go further

Clean after every use

Gently peel any bond residue from the cluster base after removal. A dry cotton bud helps reach the lash band without snagging the fibres.

Store in the tray

Return clusters to their original tray after each use. This keeps them in shape, dust-free, and ready for your next application.

Up to 5 wears

With proper care, most clusters can be reused 3–5 times. Replace when they begin to lose shape or shed fibres.

Minimal residue = better bond

Removing bond buildup before reapplication ensures a clean, strong hold every time. Don't skip this step.

How to clean your clusters

First timer tips

Start at the outer corner

Begin at the outer edge of your eye and work inward. This gives you the most natural-looking result and helps you gauge the right volume before committing to the inner lash line.

Less bond than you think

A thin, even coat is plenty. Too much bond causes clusters to slip before setting and makes removal harder. When in doubt, use less — you can always add more.

Look down, not straight ahead

Looking down into a flat mirror on your desk gives you a much better angle for underlash placement than looking straight at a wall mirror.

You have time to adjust

The bond stays repositionable for the first minute or so after application. If a cluster isn't sitting right, move it — no stress, no wasted cluster.

Mix lengths for a natural effect

Use shorter clusters (10–12mm) at the inner corners and longer ones (12–14mm) toward the outer corners. The result is a lifted, naturally flattering shape.

Skip the mascara

You won't need it. Mascara on clusters is harder to clean off and shortens their lifespan. Let the lashes do the work — they're designed to.

Questions we get asked

How long do glued clusters last?
With a proper bond and sealer, glued lash clusters typically last for 7 days+ if you take good care of them. Longevity depends on skin type, how much oil your skin produces, and how well you applied the sealer. Avoid oil-based products around the eyes to maximise wear time.
Can I sleep in them?
Yes — that's part of the appeal. To keep them in the best shape overnight, try sleeping on your back or using a silk pillowcase to minimise friction.
Can I shower, swim or exercise with them on?
Yes. Once fully set, the bond is water-resistant. Avoid rubbing your eyes while wet, and try not to direct the shower stream straight at your lashes. Swimming is fine — just pat dry gently after.
Will glued clusters damage my natural lashes?
No — not when applied and removed correctly. The key is to never pull or tug. Always use Remover and let the bond fully dissolve before sliding the clusters off. This keeps your natural lashes completely intact.
I'm getting gaps between clusters — what am I doing wrong?
Gaps are usually caused by placing clusters too far apart, or by the clusters shifting before the bond sets. Make sure you're holding each cluster in place for a full 3–5 seconds. You can also try slightly overlapping the base of each cluster with the previous one for a more seamless look.
My clusters are falling off by the end of the day — help!
This usually comes down to two things: oily lids or skipping the Sealer. Make sure your lashes are fully clean and oil-free before applying bond, and always finish with a coat of Sealer along the bond line. If your skin is particularly oily, a light dusting of translucent powder on the lash line beforehand can also help.
Can I use my own tweezers?
Yes, though lash-specific tweezers with a fine, angled tip make placement much easier — especially for the inner corners. If using regular tweezers, just make sure the tips are smooth so they don't snag the cluster fibres.
