Just as important as the quality of application and aftercare is the precise preparation of the eyelashes so that your work is not wasted. Read on to find out why you shouldn't be without a quality eyelash primer in your kit.
The lamp is lit, the tweezers are ready, and a drop of glue is already glistening impatiently on the pad. Ready to get started? Wait a minute! Did you forget something? And the experienced already know that... before applying the fans, it is very important to apply the primer after taking off the old lashes and degreasing and cleaning them. We're gonna talk a little bit about primer today. Get to know its benefits that will make your job much easier and extend the life of your false eyelashes!
When and how to use eyelash primer?
- Degreasing and preparing natural eyelashes
Even if the client comes in perfectly makeup-free, it's quite possible that she used a two-step makeup remover to cleanse her eye area, which contains oil - oil isn't friendly to eyelash extensions at all, as it disrupts the bond between the glue and the natural lashes - however, the client may have used it in the good faith that at least your old lashes will come off better before you glue on new ones.
However, you must use Primer Lashes PRO in any case, no matter how thoroughly you have cleansed your lashes and eye area. This is because there are natural proteins on natural lashes that create a natural oily film without it being obvious at first glance. And even a thorough wash with cleansing foam is no guarantee of 100% success. The primer works by thoroughly degreasing the eyelashes and removing these proteins, thus preparing the surface of the natural eyelash much better for fusion with the artificial eyelash using an adhesive.
- The bond is stronger and the lashes last longer.
This is the second reason why you should never forget the primer - by making the lashes perfectly degreased, the glue sticks to them better, the joint becomes stronger and the lashes don't blow away with the first gust of wind. If you use a good quality glue and glue the lashes at a textbook angle but leave out the primer, you may very well end up wasting all your work too soon.
2. Nutrition and proper pH
Primer works by dehydrating the natural lash and the immediate area to achieve the desired pH and desired degreasing.
Although it may seem like an aggressive liquid, it is not - it does not disturb the lashes unnecessarily, because thanks to the copper peptide content, it instead nourishes them beautifully and promotes their growth.
Thus, degreasing and removing any other impurities from the lashes with Primer Lashes PRO is completely safe, gentle and even suitable for clients with dry skin.
How to use Primer Lashes PRO?
Before primer, clean the lashes properly with Lashes PRO cleansing foam to remove the "worst" of mascara, make-up and other make-up residues from the lashes and eyelids - then rinse and dry thoroughly. Apply a small amount of primer to the washed and dried lashes using a micro-brush to the roots of the lashes and you can start applying the glue!
Who applies the primer, gets the best results!
