Stick ‘Em Like a Pro: How to Apply Lashes with Clear Adhesive Liners

Right now, love- So you've got your sparkling new clear adhesive liner in your cosmetic bag, and you're wondering, "How hard can it be?" The good news is: not much. Even excellent news? A transparent liner does not require the steady hands of a brain surgeon to perform. No dark smudges, no shaky wings, just a clean, undetectable lash grip that will have you flying like a true heartbreaker.

Here's how to do it without getting lash glue on your fingers and lashes plastered to your eyebrow.

1. Start with a Clean Canvas 

First, make sure your eyelids are clean and oil-free. Any remaining makeup, moisturiser, or natural oils will reduce the adhesive's stickiness. Give your lids a fast once-over with some micellar water; no shortcuts here, sweetie.

2. Measure and Trim Your Lashes 

First, make sure your eyelids are clean and oil-free. Any remaining makeup, moisturiser, or natural oils will reduce the adhesive's stickiness. Give your lids a fast once-over with some micellar water; no shortcuts here, sweetie. 

3. Apply the Clear Adhesive Liner

Here is where the magic occurs. Using your clear adhesive liner, draw a clean line down your lash line, just as you would with regular eyeliner. The benefit of transparent liner is that it doesn't matter if it's not perfect; no one will see it. Make sure you go straight to the root of your lashes so the strip has something to hold onto.

4. No Waiting Around

Unlike conventional glue, you don't have to stand there blowing on your lashes as if you were attempting to chill a hot cup of tea. Once your liner is on, you can go straight in with your lashes - simple as that. 

5. Stick ‘Em On

Place the lash strip in the middle of your lash line first, then press down the inner and outer corners using tweezers or your fingers (whatever feels most comfortable). Give them a little pinch along your natural lashes to ensure they are tight. 

6. Adjust if You Need To

If it doesn't sit exactly properly, lift and re-stick; the liner is sticky enough to allow you to make adjustments without having to start again. Just don't keep tinkering for too long, or you'll lose the stick completely. 

7. Finishing Touches 

Once they are turned on, you are ready to go. If you want to blend them in even more, apply a little mascara to your natural lashes (be careful not to clump the falsies). And the greatest part? No visible glue marks - simply beautiful, floating lashes.

Clear lash adhesive liners are a game changer; they're fast, clean, and ideal for novices or anybody who doesn't want to deal with the glue-and-wait process. Whether you're going out with the gals or need a Monday morning pick-me-up, you'll be lash-ready in minutes. Give it a try, and you'll never look back.
