until the glue goes tacky.

lid.

ensure a natural look.

How much glue do I need?
Less is more! Only a hairline thickness of glue applied along the inner spine is needed for perfect application of smiink lashes. An extra dab of glue at either end of the lash is recommended, as this is the place most likely to lift from the eye.
Is there a rush to apply the lash once glue is applied to the spine?
No! It is actually beneficial to wait up 15 - 30 seconds after applying a thin line of glue to the spine of the lash in order for the glue to become tacky. This will allow the lash to adhere to the eyelid with more ease.

No, however for those allergic to rubber or latex, a patch test on the skin is strongly recommended.

Remove the lash, roll off any residual glue from the spine and the skin and reapply. For the perfect eye-line and finish, always touch up eyeliner using smiink semi-permanent liner pen.
Do I apply makeup before or after applying smiink eyelashes?
Apply foundation and eyeliner, then apply your lash. Eyeliner may then be “touched up” if needed.
Can I apply mascara to smiink lashes?
Applying mascara to false eyelashes reduced the life of the lash and is not recommended or necessary. However, it is desirable to apply mascara to your own eyelashes before lash application. This helps your own eyelashes blend in to the curve of the smiink lash.
What if smiink lashes get wet?
Not to worry! Just pat dry.
