I'm glad I finally decided to buy it
A was a little hesitant on buying this product. I'm glad I finally decided to buy it. I will say, that I feel like most people wouldn't be able to perm their lashes themselves. I got by because I already am used to working in detail with my eyelashes from tinting them and I watched countless tutorial videos on how to properly and carefully perm them. So I will say, do your research, follow directions carefully and take your time with all of the steps. You're working with chemicals around your eyes..this should not be taken lightly.
Anyways, my eyelashes are beastly long. They are always in the way of my vision because they stick straight downwards. My eyelashes sometimes grow weird ways, too and trying to curl them and keep them that way is truly the biggest pain in the booty. So needless to say, this eyelash perm was for more than aesthetic purposes!
A few tips I learned that are super important. 1.) If you are doing this yourself, then try doing one eye at a time. It's much easier that way. 2.) Apply the perm solution (bottle 1 or 2) on only half the lashes (from the root and up) So don't apply it to the lash tip. This can cause the eyelash to have too much curl and stick back into the eyelid. 3.) *MOST IMPORTANT TIP* Don't use the eyelash glue in the box on your eyelashes to stick to the silicon pads or rods. Use store bought eyelash glue to adhere your lashes to the pad. Please just trust me. Only use the eyelash glue in the box to stick the Silicon pads or rods to your eyelid. Make sure none of the glue gets on your eyelashes or you will have a bad time. It's almost impossible to get off the lashes. Store bought glue will peel right off. The box glue will goop like gum on your lashes. Seriously please heed my warning. 4.) Use a tiny eyelash comb to comb out any clumps and remaining glue after you're finished. This does a better job than picking it out with your fingers or rubbing the lashes to get any solution off. 5.) Cotton swabs will be your best friend. Also, try rubbing alcohol on cotton swabs to wipe off any excess glue on the lids afterwards. 6.) Final tip, when gluing your eyelashes to the pad/rod, make sure your lashes are spread out/fanned out evenly. Your lashes are going to stay the way you place them on the pad/rod. So if you don't stick them on perfectly, they're going to look wonky after you're finished. I think this is why this kit gets bad reviews. This is just common sense. I've seen pictures in the reviews of people perming lashes that are stick straight out off the pad, or glued in different directions rather than evenly spread up and outward. When gluing the lashes to the pad, try to do a little section at a time starting at one end and then work your way over. Don't slather too much glue. Just use as much as you need at a time. This is all a very delicate process and should be done patiently.
In the photo, I permed my right eye lashes and then after that was done and cleaned off, I put eyelash tint on my lashes to darken them. Turned out beautiful. I would recommend this eyelash perm to anyone willing to put forth the effort.
