From Prep to Finish: The Complete Lash Application Routine

Perfect lash sets don’t just happen — they’re crafted. Every stunning lash look starts long before the first fan is placed, and every long-lasting result depends on what happens after. At TDANCE, we believe that perfect retention starts with perfect preparation — and ends with the right finishing touch.

Whether you’re a seasoned lash artist or just starting your journey, mastering your lash routine is the key to consistent, flawless results. Let’s walk through every step of the process — from prep to finish — with insider tips from TDANCE lash experts.

🧼 Step 1: Cleanse Like a Pro

Before the magic begins, clean lashes = strong retention.

Even the most advanced adhesive won’t bond well if oil, dust, or makeup residue remains. Start with a gentle lash cleanser or foam mousse, massaging along the lash line to remove every trace of buildup. Rinse, dry, and brush through to separate the lashes.

💡 Pro Tip: TDANCE lash cleansers are formulated to balance PH levels — giving you the ideal base for glue adhesion while keeping the natural lashes healthy.

🌬 Step 2: Prime for Perfection

Once lashes are clean and dry, it’s time to prime. This step removes any leftover moisture and ensures the best grip between the natural lash and the extension.

Our TDANCE primer works like a secret weapon — fast-drying, lightweight, and designed to create the perfect bonding surface. It’s especially helpful in humid environments where adhesive performance can fluctuate.

💡 Pro Tip: A small amount goes a long way. Dip a micro brush in primer and lightly apply to the lash base only.

✨ Step 3: Choose the Right Lash for Your Look

Here’s where creativity takes the stage! Every client has different eye shapes, lash densities, and style preferences — so your lash choice matters.

TDANCE offers a wide range of lash types, curls, and thicknesses:

• YY & W Lashes for fluffy, voluminous effects.

• Shimmy-Free Fans for maximum stability and effortless application.

• Classic Lashes for natural elegance.

• Brown & Colored Lashes for trending, soft glam looks.

💡 Pro Tip: Mix curl types for a textured finish (e.g., combining C and D curls) — it gives a more dynamic, natural lift.

🧲 Step 4: Glue Game Strong

Your adhesive can make or break your lash set. The key is understanding humidity, temperature, and your working speed.

TDANCE lash adhesives are crafted to perform in all conditions — fast-drying yet flexible, with retention that lasts up to 8 weeks. Pair your glue with the right tools (like our magnetic lash tile and tweezer set) for smoother, more efficient work.

💡 Pro Tip: Always shake your glue before use, and replace your glue dot every 15–20 minutes to keep consistency fresh.

🎯 Step 5: Application Time — Precision Meets Artistry

Now for the fun part — creating your masterpiece!

Using the right tweezer angle and isolation technique, gently place the extension 0.5–1mm away from the eyelid. For premade fans, aim for a seamless base connection without excess glue. TDANCE’s Shimmy-Free fans make this process effortless — no twisting, no collapsing, no stress.

💡 Pro Tip: Work from inner to outer corner, alternating eyes to balance adhesive curing time.

🪶 Step 6: Seal the Deal

Once your lash set is complete, apply a sealer to lock in retention. This protective barrier keeps humidity, oil, and makeup from weakening the bond.

💡 Pro Tip: Use TDANCE’s Retention Bundle — our glue, primer, and sealer trio designed to extend lash life and keep every fan in place longer.

🌸 Step 7: Post-Application Care & Aftercare

Don’t forget to educate your clients! The best lashes still need love. Share these quick tips:

• Avoid water or steam for 24 hours.

• Brush lashes daily with a clean spoolie.

• Use oil-free cleansers only.

• Schedule infills every 2–3 weeks.

💡 Pro Tip: Send your clients home with a TDANCE Lash Care Kit — it’s an easy upsell that ensures they care for their lashes properly.

💎 Step 8: Sanitize & Store Your Tools Properly

Professionalism doesn’t end when the client leaves. Disinfect your tweezers, sanitize your workstation, and store your supplies in dry, dust-free containers. TDANCE offers a full range of storage trays, tweezer stands, and lash organizers — because clean tools mean safe clients and smooth sessions.

🌈 Bonus Step: Add Your Signature Touch

Every lash artist has their own rhythm — the music you play, the setup you create, the confidence you radiate. Don’t be afraid to infuse your personality into your work. The more you enjoy the process, the more your clients will feel it.
