Applying eyelash extensions is an art that requires precision and expertise. However, some common mistakes can affect the retention of the extensions, the client’s comfort, and the final look. Whether you are an experienced technician or a beginner, here are the five most frequent mistakes and how to avoid them to ensure flawless results.
1️⃣ Not Properly Preparing Natural Lashes
💡 Why is this a mistake? Before applying extensions, it is crucial to prepare natural lashes properly. Poor preparation can reduce the glue’s adhesion and impact the longevity of the extensions.
✅ How to avoid it?
-
Thoroughly clean the lashes with a lash extension cleansing foam to remove makeup and oil residue.
-
Use a balancing primer like Balance 7+ by Misencil to improve adhesion.
2️⃣ Using Too Much or Too Little Adhesive
💡 Why is this a mistake? Too much adhesive can create clumps and cause discomfort for the client, while too little may result in poor retention of the extensions.
✅ How to avoid it?
-
Place a drop of adhesive on a jade stone to maintain a perfect consistency.
-
Dip the base of the extension into the glue without excess.
-
Choose a glue suited to your application speed (e.g., Misencil Premium + for fast drying and optimal retention).
3️⃣ Choosing Extensions Unsuitable for the Eye’s Morphology
💡 Why is this a mistake? Selecting the wrong length, thickness, or curl can give an unnatural and uncomfortable look to the client.
✅ How to avoid it?
-
Analyze the eye shape before choosing the curl and length.
-
Opt for lightweight extensions like Mishka 0.07 mm for a natural result and better retention.
-
Avoid overly long extensions that can weaken natural lashes.
4️⃣ Not Properly Isolating Each Lash
💡 Why is this a mistake? If multiple natural lashes stick together, it can cause discomfort, lash damage, and irritation during regrowth.
✅ How to avoid it?
-
Use an ultra-precise tweezer (e.g., Misencil Volume 90° Tweezers).
-
Work under proper lighting to see the lashes clearly.
-
Always double-check after application to ensure each lash is well-separated.
5️⃣ Neglecting Aftercare Instructions
💡 Why is this a mistake? If the client doesn’t properly care for their extensions, their lifespan will be reduced, and they might fall out prematurely.
✅ How to avoid it?
-
Educate your clients on the best aftercare practices:
-
Avoid water and steam for 24 hours after application.
-
Use an oil-free makeup remover (e.g., Misencil New Generation Makeup Remover).
-
Brush the extensions daily with a special Bijou brush to keep in your hand bag!
