What are cluster lashes?

Cluster lashes are small groups of lash fibers bundled together , designed to be applied underneath your natural lashes using a bond and seal adhesive. Unlike full strip lashes, clusters offer a customizable, lightweight feel and can last up to a week with proper care.

How Do Cluster Lashes Work?

Prep your lashes – Start with clean, dry lashes, and curl them if needed.

1. Apply the bond – A thin layer of bond is brushed onto your natural lashes, acting as an adhesive.
2. Place the clusters – Using tweezers, position the clusters underneath your natural lashes for a seamless, extension-like effect.
3. Seal them in – A sealant locks everything in place, helping your clusters stay put for days.

Pros of Cluster Lashes
🩷 Long-lasting – Stays on for up to 7 days with proper application.
🩷 Customizable – Choose how many clusters to apply for a natural or dramatic look.
🩷 Lash extension effect – Mimics salon lash extensions without the high cost or commitment.
🩷 Lightweight & comfortable – Designed to feel more natural than traditional strip lashes.

Cons of Cluster Lashes
❌ Slight learning curve – Takes a bit of practice to apply correctly.
❌ Needs proper removal – Requires a lash bond remover to avoid damaging your natural lashes.
❌ Not for daily removal – Unlike strip or press-on lashes, clusters are meant to be worn for multiple days.

Best for: Those who want a semi-permanent lash extension alternative and are comfortable with a slightly longer application process. Perfect for vacations, special events, or anyone who prefers a long-wearing lash solution.

What Are Press-On Lashes?

Press-on lashes are the ultimate beginner-friendly and time-saving option. Instead of glue, these lashes come with a pre-applied adhesive strip, making them completely mess-free. Unlike traditional strip lashes, press-ons don’t require glue or magnets—just peel, stick, and go!

How Do Press On Lashes Work?

1. Peel off the lash – Remove it from the packaging without touching the adhesive strip area.
2. Position it on your lash line – Simply press the lash onto your natural lash line.
3. Secure with gentle pressure – Press down lightly to ensure the adhesive bonds well to your natural lashes.

Pros of Press-On Lashes
🩷 Super quick & easy – Takes under 30 seconds to apply.
🩷 No glue needed – Say goodbye to messy lash glue.
🩷 Reusable – Can be worn multiple times with proper care.
🩷 Gentle on natural lashes – Great for beginners and those who want a no-fuss lash option.

Cons of Press-On Lashes
❌ Shorter wear time – Designed for daily use, but can be reapplied multiple times.
❌ Adhesive can wear off – If not handled properly, the pre-applied adhesive might lose stickiness after multiple attempts of taking them on and off.

Best for: Those who want quick, no-fuss glam for everyday wear, special occasions, or touch-ups on the go. Perfect for beginners or anyone who prefers a reusable, easy-to-apply lash option.
