Eyelash Lamination tips – Mistakes and how to fix them

The lamination procedure gives the effect of curled or lifted natural lashes. Do you know what problems can arise in this seemingly easy procedure? Discover the 6 most common mistakes and how to avoid or fix them.

Eyelash Lamination Mistake 1 – Improper Preparation
The foundation of any service is proper preparation. For lashes, thorough makeup removal is crucial. The ideal product for washing lashes is a foam shampoo. Apply it directly to the client’s eye and use an applicator or a cotton swab to clean the lashes and eyelid skin. Rinse the shampoo thoroughly with water or water-soaked pads. Residual mascara or excessive sebum in the lash line can affect the quality and final look of the styling. Always ensure you are working on thoroughly cleansed lashes and eyelids.

Eyelash Lamination Mistake 2 – Incorrect Selection of Silicone Form
Never guess when selecting the roller size for the lash length and don’t do it “by eye.” Choose the roller according to the client's natural lash length, eye shape, and desired effect. The natural lashes should exceed half the size of the silicone form's “belly.”

You can’t predict in advance the length of your client’s lashes, so it’s essential to have every available size of silicone form in your toolkit. Tip: After each use, soak the used rollers to remove glue and dye residues. The type of silicone used in forms like Lash Lift and Lamination Kit Fall in the Volume allows for sterilization. Personally, I use them multiple times.

Eyelash Lamination Mistake 3 – Incorrect Lash Placement on the Form
When stretching lashes on the form, make sure all lashes are well-combed and directed in the same direction. The hairs should not cross, be bent, or twisted. It’s worth doing this in sections to ensure each part is laid out identically.

A comb will help precisely comb and arrange the lashes on the roller. A probe can break up too dense hair sections. This step is crucial and will determine the final results of your styling.

Eyelash Lamination Mistake 4 – Improper Stretching
Solid stretching and exposing the waterline is essential for even curling of each lash row. The online training Eyelash Lamination reveals a great trick using a probe, which significantly eases the task. Don’t rush, use auxiliary tools, and take a close-up photo of the stretch to show all the work details.

Eyelash Lamination Mistake 5 – Uneven Application of Products
The glue should be applied evenly and in the right amount; otherwise, product 1 and 2 will have difficulty penetrating the lash interior. A water-moistened velour applicator will help you even out excess glue and dissolve areas that need improvement in stretching or combing.


Eyelash Lamination Mistake 6 – Incorrect Product Timing
If the timing is not chosen correctly, the results may be unsatisfactory. You can get over-lifted lashes, weak curling, or no effect at all. The timing should be adjusted to the thickness and condition of the natural lashes. If the lashes are thin and delicate, stick to the minimum time recommended by the manufacturer. For unusually stiff and thick lashes, you can use the upper time limit. Follow these rules every time you perform the procedure

Eyelash lamination , even for regular clients, can vary each time. Many factors affect the condition of the hair and thus the lashes you work on, such as the season or health condition.
