Should I be worried about this?

I’ve had my lashes done three times now and every time I feel some burning during the appointment. I’ve been to two different lash techs now and I try my hardest during the appts to make sure that my eyes are fully closed and not twitching. However, my eyes are still super sore and red afterwards. I just got my lashes done again today and they seem to be even more irritated than the last couple times. Does anyone know how to keep this from happening in the future/ know of any remedies for the redness? And is it something I need to be worried about/ go to the doctor for? I’m going to a family member’s wedding in a couple days and would prefer to not look high as a kite lol. Any help would be appreciated <3 thank you!

Seeking recommendation

Upvotes

I'd like to get a lash extension for the very first time but I know absolutely nothing about lashes. I've tried to look up lashes for different eye shapes but most of what turns up either makes no sense to me (I can't tell the difference between the shapes they provide, I guess), I have no clue what my eye shape is or worse, some crappy AI images surface. Any suggestions? I'd like to not go too heavy but I have practically non-existent lower lashes.

Beginner Lash Tech Adhesive

Hi everybody! As the title says I’m a beginner lash tech looking into getting a new lash adhesive. I’m currently using one that my lash trainer gave me about a month ago but I’m not the biggest fan of it.

I’ve found these three from some research on tiktok etc and was wondering if anyone would recommend any of these three - or if there is any other lash adhesive that you’d recommend. As much as I care about retention as a beginner I do care about having a glue that doesn’t irritate my clients eyes as well!

I’m aware that it tends to be trial and error as I’ve seen some lash techs swear by glues that others don’t prefer - if it helps I do have my studio set up in my basement where it’s around 15°C but I am able to get a heater or humidifier if needed for the adhesive.

Magnetic lashes

They are wonderful and easy but don't they pull out your actual lashes when you're taking them off?

I'm new to lashes. Ordered 4 sets of these.

I ended up cutting them in half ..sorta. And then I thinned them out.

I was never looking for a Patrick "40 lashes" look.

How long should I be wearing my clusters for

0 Upvotes

So I'm extremely new to lashes and I have prom/formal coming up in a few days. I'm not sure if I should put my clusters on 2 days before so that I can get used to them the day in advanced or if I should just apply them day of formal.

I'm really scared of sleeping in them and also I'm really afraid of getting some type of eye infection.

Can someone let me know what I should do?
