Learn how to apply lash clusters underneath your natural lashes for a seamless, defined finish at home. The under lash application technique places the cluster band beneath your lashes, helping keep it discreet while adding your chosen length and volume.
With Milarēs lash clusters, you can personalise your lash map to suit your look — from subtle everyday definition to a wispy finish or fuller volume. Working with individual clusters gives you control over placement, so you can build your look one section at a time.
Follow our step by step lash cluster application guide below to learn how to prep your natural lashes, apply lash bond, position each cluster and seal your finished look. Watch the tutorial for a closer view of the under lash technique, then follow each step at your own pace.
Ensure your natural lashes are clean, dry, and free from any skincare, makeup and oils. This helps the bond adhere seamlessly.
For best results, curl your natural lashes before application to help the lash clusters blend seamlessly and sit flush beneath the lash line.
Brush a thin coat of bond to the underside of your natural lashes from root to mid length. Avoid coating the tips.
Do not apply like mascara. You only want the bond at the base ot your lashes.
Using your applicator, gently grip the lash cluster from the band at the base rather than pulling from the lash ends. This helps prevent the cluster from stretching, separating or losing its shape.
Place the first cluster (usually the longest length you intend to use) underneath your natural lashes, starting from the outer corner. Continue inward until the look is complete.
When applied correctly, you should not feel the clusters at all. Avoid making contact with your waterline — the lash clusters should sit directly above it. If you feel the clusters, use the applicator to gently pull the lash cluster a little higher.
It helps to pull your eyelid up so that you can easily see where to place each cluster.
Slightly overlapping your clusters will also help with retention, because if one cluster lifts slightly, it's going to be secured to another.
Lightly coat the tips of your lash applicator with the sealer, and gently clamp your lashes as close to the roots as possible.
For extra hold, repeat the same process above using your lash curler.
Apply a light layer of seal using the seal tip to the base of the lashes where you applied the bond to remove any stickiness.
Avoid water or steam for the first 24 hours after application and excessive exposure to oils.
THE KEY TO LONG LASTING RETENTION
GOOD TO KNOW
- Avoid oil based products around the eyes and keep the lashes dry for the first 24 hours after application
- Cleanse lashes gently using a cotton tip and water based cleanser to avoid build up from day to day oil build up
Yes — the lashes are waterproof. However please avoid water or steam for the first 24 hours after application and excessive exposure to oils to allow the bond/adhesive to fully set.
- Apply to clean lashes free from any skincare, makeup or oils
- Use your lash curler with a light coat of seal, to clamp your clusters after application for a more secure hold
- Allow the bond/adhesive to fully set and avoid water or steam for the first 24 hours
- Avoid rubbing your eyes, and handle the lashes gently to maintain their hold
Apply remover along the lash line and allow it to break down the bond. Once loosened, gently slide the lashes away — avoid pulling.
Allow the remover to sit for approximately 1 minute so the bond can fully break down before removing the lashes. They should then easily slide off without damaging your natural lashes.
If you plan to reapply new lashes directly after removal, be sure to use an oil free makeup remover to remove any remover residue as well as any oils, makeup and skincare before reapplying.
