Thank you! You made it so easy for me to follow along and understand what I am looking at. I am a new esthetician looking to learn and add lash lift and brow tiniting to my portfolio. What products do you recommend I start with?
Pinching can be hard! Work with slow movements. Do not open your tweezers to much because that will make the lashes fall apart. Open the tweezers just a little. A little meaning like hair width. Barely opening and slight pressure between your fingers on the extensions. It took me awhile to get the hang of it but with consistent practice you will get it. I learned on my own at that.
Im having a hard time trying to place fans on the inner corners because of how the tweezer is (it's literally fighting with the nose😅) and also when i pick up the lashes, their bottoms aren't at the same height, like some lashes will be higher than the rest, maybe i didnt slide in the tweezers completely straight when i went to grab the lashes?
Girl! Lol i know that feeling! Inner corners can be hard. Try using tape! Place it horizontal not to close to the inner corner and than gently pull to the outer corner. This will help spread the inner lashes. If your still struggling, try turning her head to the side. So when lashing the right side, turn her head to the left to give you a better angle. Tweezer placement, when going into the lashes try having the tip of the tweezer pointing towards you a little and tightly grip. With not having the right pressure in your tweezer, you will have little stragglers. Hope this helps!! 🩷 Good Luck!
I understand what your saying. It doesnt have to be “stick” when you first pinch. If you use the glue cups with ridges, you can dip your lashes and than swipe them into the ridges to seal the tip. Also, move slowly when you pinch to help you understand whats going on and how you make them. Slowly add pressure between your fingers when closing into the lashes. Hope this makes sense! And also helps! 🩷
My struggle is doing the pinch method; I feel like it takes to much time to lash a training lash strip. I usually use the cups with the slits to make my fans BUT I notice that my fans aren’t wide either. So…. One of these days I’m going to make myself do the PM, the more you do it the better you get at it. Oh; placement at times too.
Yea girl, it took me a while to get the hang of pinching. Took lots of practice for me. Keep practicing! Of your having hard time with placement with fans, try placing the fan on the glue cup and positioning your tweezers a little higher on the fan. This should help you with placement.
Thank you so much! I like to use a slightly angled tweezers. For reference, if you go to lost artistry lash website they have a tweezer called “Long Curved: Grippopotamus” that style tweezer is my favorite to use for isolation. I try to find a more affordable one sometimes as its only isolating. I hope this helps! 🤍
Awww yay! Im so glad you got the hang of them! It can be tricky. Just remember you will have good lash days and bad lash days. Dont beat yourself up! I have bad lash days sometimes where it makes me feel like i dont know how to lash lol. Keep going!! 🤍
Lashing can be hard. If you feel like your glue is drying to slow up the humidity and temperature a little to help out drying time. If the glue is drying to fast than you have to make it cooler and get a dehumidifier to suck out moisture in the air. Dont give up! Find out why your struggling and research what it could be.
I understand! Grab the lashes a little higher to make some room for your fingers and pinch slowly. Took me awhile to pinch short lashes. The shortest i can pinch are 9 possibly 8mm.
Hey! I understand how your more dominant on your than all of a sudden you have to start using your left hand lol. I remember my first time holding tweezers in both my hands, it felt weird. I promise the more you get use to them in your hands the more comfortable it will get. You have to build that muscle memory. Set at least 30mins every day or when you can and pick up those tweezers and lashes and PRACTICE! With no practice, you will not get anywhere. Good luck! 🫶🏼❤️
Thats okay! Glad your educating yourself ☺️ yes there are premade volume lashes that lash techs can buy. But with hand making them, we are able to customize each fan and give the set a different look than what premades can give. There is nothing wrong with using either of them. As long as they are applied properly.
Thank you for this video 🙌🏾 I struggle with picking up the same amount of lashes to fan. Also my pin ch comes out good a 5/10 lol. This video helped but I would like to know what do I need to do to pickup the right amount every time
Im glad this video helped somewhat. Picking up a certain amount can be tricky. Its best to use .07 as they will be easier to count how many lashes you have. But most techs eye ball it, so do I. It all comes with muscle memory. Keep practicing! You got this!
Fanning can be hard. Very much an advance technique. I use Veyes currently and i have been thinking about exploring other brands. I would suggest Paris lash academy, elan.beaute, yoyislashbeauty to name a few. Make sure to not use easy fanning. Me personally hate them, doing the pinching method is hard using easy fan.
This video was so helpful!! Veyes is great brand to practice with as well but I love using this technique with my LLBA lashes cause they just fan so easily.
I don’t usually like to comment on videos, but thanks to you I learned how to fan!! You explain it so well! I’ve watch many videos, but this is by far the most detailed explain video! I’ve watched both of your videos of volume fanning, and each one of them has helped me learn to fan. Thank you!!❤️🙏🏼💕
