Hi,
I was taught how to apply both individual lashes and strip lashes but i personally prefer individual ones as i think the strip are a bit OTT! This is what i do, cleanse the area, then i remove the individual lashes from the box and lay them onto a sheet of tissue paper. My client is lying back by the way, not flat though. I stand behind the client to work. I get my individual lash adhesive out and a spatula and tweezers. Then i put the lash adhesive onto the spatuala, and hold it in my left hand. I get hold of the lashes from the base and dip them into the adhesive. Then i place them as close to the natural lash line as i can. Always apply to one eye then the opposite eye, this way you get them as symettrical as poss. I usually only apply about 5-6 to the outside of the lashes, from the middle to the outer edge to open up the clients eyes. I apply the lashes then get my client to open her eyes, check they are in the correct position and if not hold onto the eyelid, and gently remove them and re-position.
Hope this helps and you can understand my mumbling!
