Step-by-Step: How to Achieve the Wet Look Lash Effect
1. Client Consultation
Before starting, make sure there are no contraindications for lash extensions. Discuss your client’s expectations—do they prefer a subtle, natural effect or something more dramatic? Choose the appropriate lash mapping (e.g., cat eye, open eye) and ensure that their natural lashes are in good condition for the procedure.
2. Preparing the Natural Lashes
Cleanse the natural lashes with a gentle cleaner to remove makeup residue, oil, and dirt. This step ensures better retention and a clean application surface.
3. Creating the Lash Spikes
On the lash strip, gently pinch the tips together and coat them lightly with Noble Lashes Primer. This pre-forms the wet look spikes, making application quicker and more uniform.
4. Choosing the Right Lashes & Application
Select the correct thickness and length based on your client’s natural lash condition. Apply each spike with precision, keeping a safe distance from the eyelid (approx. 0.5mm). Proper placement is key to achieving a lightweight yet full look.
5. Maintaining a Natural Balance
Avoid overloading the lashes—the wet look effect is all about lightness and definition. Well-spaced lash spikes create a refined, elegant finish.

Longevity & Aftercare
For clients to maintain their wet look lashes, advise them to:
✅ Clean their lashes daily with Noble Lashes Lash Shampoo to prevent oil buildup.
✅ Avoid rubbing their eyes and steer clear of oil-based cosmetics, which could break down the adhesive.
✅ Schedule infills every 2-3 weeks to maintain a fresh, full lash line.
Expert Tips for the Perfect Wet Look Lash Set
Use primer on the lash strip – A light coating on the tips helps create flawless lash spikes and prevents them from separating.
Work with small lash bundles – This makes application easier to control, resulting in a more precise effect.
