Citizen Lash
STARTER KIT
You’re new to the Citizen Lash system and want the basic essentials to get you started without committing to one specific lash style. Here is exactly what you need to successfully apply your lashes.
Includes:
- One Connection Adhesive
- One Variety Lash Pack (either Natural or Dramatic)
- One Bottle of Remover
- One DIY Lash Tweezer
DIY eyelash extensions (also known as temporary lashes, semi-permanent or false lashes) are individual lash clusters that are easily applied one by one to the under or upper side of the natural lash line with a semi-permanent adhesive. The Citizen DIY Lash system helps to create longer, fuller looking lashes that will last up to 5 days without removal. To apply an entire lash set, place anywhere from 2-6+ lash clusters to each eye. Each lash set is reusable up to 10+ times and the learning curve for DIY lashes is not extensive, anyone can do it.
1. Apply a thin coat of mascara to your natural lashes
Without the use of mascara, Citizen glue is strong enough to last for several days. However, for hygienic purposes, we do recommend removing your lashes each night. Mascara creates a barrier between the natural lashes and fans, making removal easier.
2. Apply adhesive
While the fan you intend to apply is still in the tray, lightly coat the entire exposed base with adhesive. We suggest starting on the inner or outer corner, working towards the opposite corner.
3. Pick up the fan
Sandwich the fan between the tweezer tips. Use pressure to grip the fan and gently lift it off the strip.
4. Prepare for placement
The goal is to line the fan up perfectly with your waterline. In order to get the proper angle for placement, you may have to adjust the fan within your tweezers. There is no right or wrong placement technique, but some people find it helpful to grip just the tips of the fan in order to easily manipulate its direction.
5. Place the fan
While looking in a mirror, tilt your head back or lift your eyelid to expose your upper waterline. Gently place the fan on the underside of your natural lashes, as close to the waterline as possible, without touching it.
Note: Mastering placement requires tricks that are best explained visually. Make sure to check your welcome email or reach out to us via email or Instagram DM for a link to our application tutorial.
6. Secure the bond
Once you are happy with your placement, secure the bond by gently pushing each fan into the natural lash using your tweezers or fingers.
