- Using tweezers, gently pick up the cluster and position it along the natural lash line, either over or under the lash.
- Hold the cluster in place for a moment to allow the adhesive to bond with the natural lashes.
- Proceed to the next cluster, overlapping slightly to create a continuous, voluminous line.

- Always prep the natural lashes with a primer to ensure maximum adhesion and longevity of the clusters.
- When applying under the natural lashes, use a curved tweezer to ensure a precise fit that follows the natural lash contour.
