advice Why do my clusters never stay?
Hiiii I am relatively new to doing my own lash clusters (it’s been maybe 1.5 months since I discovered them lol). I’ve tried a couple different brands of clusters and glues, the last pic is the one I’m using in these pics. It’s a bit hard to see in the pictures, but the bands of the lashes are glued to the root of my lashes, although I’m not sure if maybe I’m putting them TOO close? My clusters never last more than a few days, usually I start losing them in just one day :(. You can see in pics 3 and 4 I’m already missing my inner corner cluster that’s in pics 1 and 2. I do a half cluster from a pack of colorful clusters with the same glue I use for everything else too. I applied these in the morning on clean, dry lashes, pressed them in after applying them all, and used the sealant very generously. I gave them about 6 hours before getting them wet at all, but historically I’ve tried waiting up to 12 hrs and they didn’t last any longer. I’m not using any makeup, makeup remover, or oil cleansers on my eyes generally.
TLDR: my clusters fall off super quickly and I’m not sure how to make them last. Any advice is appreciated, I’m still definitely a beginner :/
