Step 2: Prepare the Client for Lashes with Color

If you're applying lashes with color on a client, begin by discussing their preferences and desired look. Ensure they have a comfortable position and explain the process to alleviate any concerns about their lashes with color.

Step 3: Prime the Lashes for Lashes with Color

Prime the client's natural lashes using a lash primer or makeup remover to remove any oils or residues. This step is essential for proper adhesion for lash extensions.

Step 4: Isolate the Natural Lashes and start applying the colored lash extensions.

Using your tweezers, isolate a single natural lash. This will be the base for attaching the colored lash extension. Make sure the natural lash is dry and free from any cleanser residue. Be sure to match both eyes! I always apply the colored lashes first moving from eye to eye. Make sure that each eye has the same amount of lashes with color and that you place the colored lashes in the same position on both eyes. After you have applied the desired amount of colored lashes, finish off the set using your regular black lash extensions.

Step 5: Apply Lash Bonder

Apply a lash bonder to the finished lash set. This helps create a stronger bond between the natural lash and the lash extensions.

Step 6: Fan your Beautiful Lashes with Color

Allow the adhesive to dry completely. The drying time may vary depending on the adhesive you use for your lashes, so follow the manufacturer's instructions for best results.

Step 7: Final Inspection for Lashes with Color

Carefully inspect the lashes to ensure they are securely attached, well-separated, and have a natural appearance with your black lashes and your lashes with color. Make any necessary adjustments to achieve the desired look.
