Lash Mistakes to Avoid: How to Apply and Maintain Lashes Like a Pro

Lashes can elevate your entire makeup look — but small mistakes can make a big difference. Whether you're applying strip lashes at home or caring for extensions, here are key things to avoid if you want your lashes to last and look flawless.

🚫 Common Lash Mistakes:

  1. Not Trimming Strip Lashes
    Always trim from the outer edge to fit your eye. Oversized lashes can look messy and feel uncomfortable.

  2. Using Too Much Lash Glue
    Less is more! Apply a thin, even layer and wait 30 seconds for it to get tacky.

  3. Skipping Mascara on Natural Lashes
    Blend your natural and false lashes with a light coat of mascara for a seamless finish.

  4. Poor Lash Care
    Never sleep in strip lashes. Store them in a clean case and remove glue after use.

  5. Not Cleaning Lash Extensions
    Use a lash-safe cleanser to avoid buildup and irritation.
