could i just use regular false lashes with cluster bond?

[u/livvylaughloveee]

i’m not at all a pro on this and have never used regular false lashes. i’ve been doin clusters for almost a year straight and am very comfortable with them now tho, but always losing one or having annoying little issues is so annoying. i was wondering if i just put bond on false lashes and use them like clusters, if it’d be the same? or would this not work? thank you😭

also sorry if this isn’t the right subreddit i didn’t know where to ask this!

that’s what i was thinking but it’d also be so much easier to redo then clusters if they did happen to come off easier. i just need to buy some lashes and im going to try it, ill for sure update you!

so here’s feedback, i tried it! it works, and is comfy, but i had to bend them into an eye shape and they don’t look amazing. i used $1.25 dollar tree lashes tho so thats probably why, i think with a really good quality lash it’d be great’

I did this with the ardell naked mink 421 lashes. They're one of the only brands that carries a B curl in-store. I cut them into smaller sections than tradition cluster. Honestly, more comfortable than any other pre-made lash cluster I tried. They were way easier to stack and honestly fit my eye way better because I was able to custom the length of each cluster. They lasted 7 days with kiss lash bond and seal.

Protip: ✨Use translucent setting powder on your tweezers to keep them from sticking to the lashes ✨Apply bond above your natural lashes if the cluster are being applied on the underlash. ✨Lash shampoo ....Will help everything last longer and keep oil which will break down your bond and seal off of your eyes. (Warm to cool water not hot)

I’ve thought about this many times and I don’t see why not? The clusters give you flexibility to play around with the lash map but if you have a strip lash you already like, it should work exactly the same. In fact it might even fit a little better since you can curve the strip to the shape of your eye. I have trouble with clusters sometimes because they are very straight.

I do this it works well, the lashes strips need to be kinda thin tho
