Get ready to transform your lash game from zero to fabulous-hero in just a few simple steps!

1. Prep Like a Pro: Gather Your Supplies Before we dive into the lash magic, let's gather our tools. You'll need your DIY lash kit (obviously), a clean and well-lit workspace, lash applicator/tweezers (a girl's best friend), lash bond & seal, and your favorite mirror. Oh, and don't forget a dash of confidence—you're about to become a lash superstar!

2. Pick Your Perfect Lashes Time to choose your lash adventure! Whether you're a "less is more" kind of gal or you're all about that va-va-voom drama, there's a lash style that's got your name on it. Feeling flirty? Opt for our Libra or Foxy lash. Both are natural length. Ready to slay? Go bold with our Bombshell or Miss Hawaii lash, which give you oh so much glam and volume. Remember, this is your lash journey, so embrace your inner lashista!

3. Apply with Finesse: The Magic Touch Now, the fun part—applying those babies! Gently remove the lash strip from its cozy box. It's best to remove the lashes with your fingers so you don't risk pulling them apart. Remember, we're going for easy, breezy beauty, so no need to rush. Next, apply a thin coat of bond to your real lashes, kind of like you would when applying mascara—pro tip: less is more here.

4. Place and Perfect: The Art of Application Using your trusty lash applicator/tweezers, carefully place the lash segment underneath your real lash, as close to your natural lash line as possible...And voilà! It should stick right to the bond. Your lashes are locked in place and ready to be sealed. But hey, if you don't get it right on the first try, don't sweat it. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is your lash prowess.

5. Seal the Deal: Let It Set Now, here's the secret sauce: sealing your lashes in place. Apply a small amount of seal to your lashes. This should lock your lashes in place and get rid of any sticky residue. You can multitask by giving yourself a little wink in the mirror—yes, you're nailing this! Once your lash feels secure and dry, give it a gentle tug. If it doesn't budge, you're golden!-- Another pro tip here: don't get your lashes wet for up to 24 hours. Just like salon quality, oh yeah! 

6. Repeat and Rejoice: Two's Company Guess what? You're halfway there! Time to repeat the process on your other eye. And let's be real, the second time's a charm. You're a pro now! Remember, practice makes perfect, and you're well on your way to becoming a lash extension guru.

7. Finishing Flourish: Blend and Beautify To make your DIY lashes look like pure magic, blend them seamlessly with your natural lashes. You can give them a gentle squeeze with your real lashes using your fingers or the back of your tweezers. This little trick adds extra oomph and ensures nobody will suspect a thing!

8. Preen and Pose: Show Off Your Stunning Lashes Ta-da! Look at you, rocking those DIY lash extensions like a true superstar. Give yourself a round of applause—your lash game just leveled up! Now it's time to strike a pose, snap a selfie, and show off your fabulous new look to the world.

Pro Tips: How to Achieve Long-Lasting DIY Lash Looks

Alrighty lash lover! We're about to unveil some serious pro secrets to make sure your dazzling lash look lasts from morning latte to midnight adventures. Let's dive into these lash-saving gems that'll have you batting those beauties with confidence all day long.

1. The Pre-Lash Prep: Clean, Clean, Clean! Picture this: you wouldn't paint a masterpiece on a dirty canvas, right? The same rule applies to lashes. Before you even think about applying those gorgeous lash segments, give your lashes a clean slate. Use a gentle oil-free makeup remover to get rid of any traces of makeup, oils, or dirt. Trust us, a clean canvas equals longer-lasting lash love.

2. Bond Magic: Apply Like a Pro Listen up, lash apprentice! The bond game is strong here. When applying the bond, use a thin, even layer to coat your natural lashes. No need to go bond-crazy—just a touch of magic does the trick. And here's the real kicker: let the bond sit for about 20 seconds to get a bit tacky. This secret step is what makes your lashes stick like a champ!

3. Placement Perfection: Hug the Lash Line Here's a nugget of wisdom: those lashes should be snuggled up right against your natural lash line. You're aiming for a seamless blend, not a "hey, I'm wearing falsies" billboard. Use your lash applicator or tweezers for precision, and gently apply each lash segment beneath your natural lash. Pro tip: start from the inner corner of your eye, then make your way to the outer corners. Voilà, lash perfection achieved!

4. Seal the Deal: Set with Seal Want your lashes to stay put like they've got their own VIP seats? Apply a coat of Seal after your falsies are in place. This nifty trick not only blends your natural lashes with the falsies but also adds an extra layer of hold. Just remember, a little goes a long way here.

5. Care Like a Queen: Maintenance Matters Here's a fact: with a little TLC, your lashes can keep strutting their stuff for more than one wear. After a fabulous 7+ days, remove your lashes with care. Gently peel them off starting from the outer corner, avoiding any tugging. Give them a quick clean with a gentle lash cleanser and a soft brush to remove any leftover bond or makeup. Your lashes will reward you with more days of stunning flutter!

6. The Lash Lodging: Store 'Em Safely Let's talk about lash real estate—aka, where your lashes rest when they're not out and about. Place them in the magnetic lash holder to keep those beauties safe and sound. Tossing them in your makeup bag? Not the best idea, babe. Protect those lashes like they're precious gems.

7. Weatherproof Wonder: Lash and the Elements Rain or shine, your lashes should stay on point. Our waterproof, cry proof, wind proof bond is like a shield against rain, humidity, and even the occasional tearjerker movies. Your lashes will stay on fleek no matter what Mother Nature throws your way.

8. Dance-Proof: Seal the Edge with Liner Got a dance party on the agenda? Seal the edge of your lash band with a smudge-proof eyeliner. This not only adds extra security but also creates a seamless finish. It's like giving your lashes a dance-proof, twirl-ready armor!

9. Nap Like a Pro: Avoid Pillow Face Drama Nap time can be a tricky situation for lash lovers. To wake up looking as fabulous as you did pre-nap, try sleeping on your back. This prevents your lashes from rubbing against your pillow and keeps them looking as perky as your morning self.

10. Stay Lash-Positive: Keep Calm and Flutter On Remember, lovely lash enthusiast, practice makes perfect. Don't be disheartened if your first lash endeavor isn't runway-ready. It's all about getting the hang of it, and trust us, you'll be a lash maestro in no time. So keep those spirits high, flaunt those lashes with confidence, and remember that every flutter counts! You got this, lash aficionado!
