If you’ve ever had an eyelash extension, then you know just how transformative it can be. They’re the perfect way to make your eyes look bigger and more dramatic without wearing too much makeup or using falsies that can fall off during the day. But there’s a lot more to getting the most out of your extensions than just going to a salon for service once in a while.
Lash extensions are a great way to add length and volume to your lashes. They can also give you fuller eyes, plus they look much more natural than fake eyelashes. First, however, there are some lash supplies that you will need before starting your next lash extension session:
Under Eye Pads
You’re going to want to use an eye pad that is designed to help you with your under-eye area. There are a few different kinds of pads, but all of them can be used in one way or another:
- Under Eye Pads – These are used for comfort and moisture. They provide cushioning against the skin, helping to prevent irritation and swelling.
- Anti-Itch Pads – If you have sensitive or painful eyes, these will help reduce irritation caused by allergies or other conditions like rosacea or acne scarring. The anti-itch element is absorbed into the skin over time as it dries out whatever causes pain.
Lash Tinting Kit
Lash tinting is a simple and effective way to change the color of your lashes. It’s also one of the most popular ways to accentuate your natural eye look, which can be tricky if you don’t know what you’re doing!
Lash tinting kits come with everything you need for the process. You’ll get pre-mixed colors and applicators that allow for easy application. The pre-mixed formulas are formulated by professionals who know how best to match each client’s natural hair color.
They won’t clash with other products in your beauty regimen or cause any irritation while wearing them during everyday activities such as running errands or working out at the gym.
That means less guessing about what shade matches best with another product. Instead, pick up whichever shade looks closest based on how much pigment has been added vs. what else was applied beforehand!
Micro Brushes
Micro Brushes are the best way to apply lash glue. They’re small and delicate, so be careful not to break them when you use them. Micro brushes come in different sizes and patterns, but they all have the same purpose: applying the glue directly onto your client’s lashes. You should always start with a clean micro brush for each client; you don’t want any residue from previous sessions on this new one!
If your client has very long or thick lashes, she may wish for you to trim them before starting her extension session. This can be done by using a pair of scissors or clippers while holding a disposable micro brush near her eye area so that both hands are free and no damage is done during removal later on down the line!
Tweezers (Straight and Curved)
Tweezers are used to apply for extensions. Straight tweezers are used for applying for the extensions, and curved tweezers are used to remove them. Make sure you have both types of tweezers on hand!
Tweezers are one of the most important tools you can have for applying for extensions. There are a variety of tweezers available, but two types are most commonly used: straight and curved. Straight tweezers are used to apply for the extensions, and curved tweezers are used to remove them. Make sure you have both types of tweezers on hand!
Adhesives (Low Humidity and High Humidity)
When purchasing adhesives, you want to choose the right one for your client’s skin type.
- High humidity adhesive is better for clients with oily skin. If their pores are open, they can cause many problems if the glue gets too wet or dries out too fast. This type of adhesive is also very strong and will hold up against tears or other damage that may occur during application.
- Low-humidity adhesives are better for dry or sensitive clients with sensitive eyes and allergies to certain chemicals used in manufacturing eyelash extensions. These types of adhesives tend to be thinner than high-moisture ones, which makes them easier for clients with sensitive eyesight issues like me!
Gel Remover
Gel removal also called “gel remover,” is a necessary step after your lashes have been applied. It removes any adhesive or gel residue left over after the lashes have been applied. Gel remover is a mild solvent that dissolves adhesive, so you can remove them easily and safely without damaging your eyes or eyelids.
If you want to be sure that your lash extensions last as long as possible, it’s best not to wait until all of the glue has dissolved before rinsing out with water or rubbing alcohol. Instead, use an eye-makeup remover immediately after using each new set of eyelashes—this will help prevent any residual adhesive from building up on your eyes or lashes over time!
Lint Free Wands
Lint-free wands are used to remove excess glue from the lashes. They come in various sizes and shapes, so you can find one that fits your needs. You may also use cotton swabs or a q-tip with an alcohol pad on it to remove any residual adhesive from your lash extensions.
Make sure you have one handy at all times; you’ll need it when applying lashes after they’ve been taken off! You should always clean your tools after each use, but especially before using them again—this will keep things sanitary and prevent cross-contamination between clients’ eyes and lashes.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You’re ready to start your next eyelash extension session. But before you do, it’s important to know that your lash artist will need the proper equipment and supplies. So make sure these lash supplies are on hand before stepping into a salon or spa for a lash application.
