Best way to prep lashes for pick-up

[Debbsxo]

Hi all

I qualified in lashes about 18 months ago and did quite a few sets but then broke my arm so done my first set today (practising on the niece :lol in over 12 months. I'd forgotten how fiddly they are to pick up!!!

I trained by picking them up from a silicon style pad but they lay flat, stand up, twist round etc - no consistency! I then tried dampening a cosmetic sponge and picked them up from there which worked a bit better but still not great.

I'd read on here about tech's sorting and sticking onto tape prior to appt and I did that with a few today mid-application and found it much easier but I guess if I did the full amount prior it would take a while.....so, just wondering what techniques anyone uses ...suggestions ideas VERY welcome as I realise this is likely to be the key to picking up speed.

Sorry for the long winded ness of the post :Scared:

Cheers in advance

Instead of buying lashes in pots/bags why don't you buy them in trays so you peel of the lashes on a strip that you need to use them you can pull them off with the tweezers as you need them. I think you would find it much easier and quicker!xx

That's my plan for the future but at the moment I have about 5 bags of differing sizes (came with the kit from college) and tbh I just don't want to waste them! Might be worth it in the long run though! Lol

Hmm well they won't go to waste if you sell them. Then just use the money to buy trays...that's what I'd do lol xx
