Quick lash question :)

[Essential Bliss]

Hiyaaa
I did my first full set of eyelash extensions today and it took me 2 and half hours..not bad for a beginner i dont think
I used the collagen pads under the eye but had to keep adjusting it as some lashes kept popping through which obviously slowed me down...i've noticed some of you lashers use tape? Where can i purchase this from and is that the best thing you use?
Thank you in advance

Hi Kayleigh, use micro pore tape, you can use it in two or three shorter strips so it sits fine under the eye and then pop you pad over the top x

Definitely use micropore tape, the collagen gel pads are more for comfort and relaxation than anything else. Most eyelash suppliers sell them, but I get mine from the chemist. I think its about £1.50 a roll.

ps what eye pads are you using, some of them are really wet (they feel great) but no good for lashing really as they slip and slide about - I bought some of the Marvelash sticky pads which I found a little easier - have only done 5 sets so far but learning more everyday!!!

Good luck honey- PM me how you get on

So, do you guys put micropore under the eye and then the comfort pad over the top of the tape?
And then I have seen some videos on you tube of people putting a couple of strips (or even another comfort pad) on the top lid too. Can someone explain to me what this is for please? Does it just encourage the client to keep their eyes closed or is this a great trick for something else?
I am trained in eyelashes now and have my first full set practice this week! Any advice would be gratefully received!

Yes, I use the micropore tape to tape lower lashes down then place the gel pad a little lower down for relaxation purposes (clients love them-and you can retail them too)
The tape on the upper lid is used if the client has excess eyelid skin which can droop down and thus covers the lashes, so you use the tape to pull the eyelid up.

Also I think people can likely be allergic to the pads and obviously never the tape, I've always used tape it's how I was taught in my training x
