Thank you so much for explaining about this. Do you think crystallized lashes need some kind of special technique or different care to have the same retention as freshly made fans? I tried with these before on 4~5 clients and it wouldn't last more than 3 weeks on them. The crystallized fans would just fall off. Do you have any ideas or tips on what I'm doing wrong and how to correct it?
If the crystallized fans are falling off, I think you need to take a look at your bases and make sure they are super pointy (so they look similar to a classic lash) and place to the side of the natural lash.
Omg THANK YOU for this video. Everyone is going on about crystallisation on insta but no one will say what it is. The pinching thing, instead of fingers there’s those glue cups with grooves on the edge to help slim the base... could work?
How do you get your fans to stay open when you release them from the tweezers? My fans fall down on to it's side right when I release it. If I set it down on the pointed base, it will glue to whatever surface I place it on and won't come off in one piece anymore.
What do you think about getting the glue off of your fingers? Could you use those latex finger gloves or do you think the glue would react with it. I’m doing this method for premaking and I get a lot more glue on my fingers then you do and it’s a pain to get off. Also how do you manage to pick up those fans from the jar perfectly?
emma if you’re getting a lot of glue on your fingers you may be using too much glue. You could try a piece of tape on your finger (nexcare blue tape works good). When I’m picking up the lashes to apply on a client I dump them out on a clean white tissue and make sure to only grab the tips of the fans ❤️
GalaxyDreaming I agree it’s something to consider. If you’re sensitive I would suggest putting a layer of micropore tape on each finger as a barrier (cotton free of course)
Hello! As long as they are stored properly (I use craft containers), they can be stored for up to a year, after that I find the glue bonds start breaking down.
Ben D the main difference is the weight. You can control exactly how much adhesive is on the base. The other thing is you can make sure your bases are perfectly pointed to ensure a good bond on the natural lash just like a classic lash. Not to mention cost! Pre made fans are very expensive!! Let’s be honest we all do lashes to make money right? Why not make our own (which look better anyway) and save tons of$$?
I wonder if after the lash is crystallized, could it be sanitized? Or at very least maybe a lash shampoo solution? I would be curious if anyone has tried?
