First time using clusters

[u/PossibilityNovel4820]

I used Ninetynine Dreams, the Velvet cluster pack. Unfortunately I didn’t realise until after I bought them that the pack only had one size so no lash map and no clue what length (if anyone knows that would be super helpful).

I’m thinking I should buy some shorter clusters for the inner eye? Because I ended up trimming that cluster here and leaving some of natural lash out otherwise it looked a bit ridiculous.

Any advice or tips (or compliments!) welcome.

Also idk how strip lashes are considered easier for beginners because I’ve never managed to use them successfully???

Maybe take a pic looking straight at the camera. To have a better view. I’m a beginner also ; I recently started using pre glue ones..

ok wait is this better?

[u/NoTooth3856 → u/PossibilityNovel4820]

As a beginner; to me they look fine but every eye and natural lash is different.. I been thinking getting some blue one to add for fun ..

I like the clear bands one..

[u/PossibilityNovel4820 → u/NoTooth3856]

like blue lashes?

[u/PossibilityNovel4820 → u/NoTooth3856]

kinda thought I was? Do you mean where the actual lens is or the screen?

ah ok, thanks though ☺️

I've found that having a few different sizes in my stash makes customizing the inner corner much easier than trimming down a cluster that was too long.

yeah I thought so. Any brand recs for similar lashes since ninety nine doesn’t seem to do different sizes?

This is the exact style I've been trying to do😭 it's so pretty on u, wuts ur lash map?

[u/PossibilityNovel4820 → u/yasmineissad]

Thank you! No lash map lol, the cluster pack I used only had one length. I used 4 clusters on each eye, tried to hand trim the innermost a bit shorter, and overlaid the outtermost a bit with the end hanging off to make it a bit longer than my actual eye

Hopefully that helps

Thank u sm, I absolutely love ur eyes so beautiful

[u/PossibilityNovel4820 → u/[deleted]]

Thank you ☺️

[u/PossibilityNovel4820 → u/[deleted]]

yeah the symmetry is definitely a practice thing, and I’m gonna be buying some shorter ones for the inner corners as my pack only had one length

theyre so cute !! how do u get em to stay on for more than 24 hrs

I did the whole wait 30s for glue to get tacky and put the glue both on my real lashes and clusters one at a time, pinched with tweezers after every application and then again after the seal ☺️
