How to apply pre-glued lash clusters at home

What I used

• LuxeFlutter pre-glued lash clusters: the set shown in the video. The original listing is no longer available on YesStyle.

• FOCALLURE Eyelash Curler: the curler shown at the start.

• Miche Bloomin’ Eyelash Tweezer: the applicator shown in the tutorial.

• A mirror: positioned so you can clearly see your upper lashes.

My five-step application routine

1. Curl your natural lashes

I curl my natural lashes first with the FOCALLURE curler. For me, a good curl makes a real difference: it lifts my natural lashes out of the way and creates space for the clusters to curve upwards underneath. If my natural lashes are pointing down, they can push the clusters down too. Use a good curler that fits your eye shape and take your time getting an even, lifted curl before adding any clusters.

2. Get your lash tweezers ready

I use the Miche Bloomin’ applicator in the video, but for beginners I really recommend a lash applicator with soft, rounded tips. I find these easier to use when picking up clusters without crushing or tearing the lashes. Sharp tweezers can poke or injure your eye if your hand slips. Soft tips still need care: work slowly and keep the tool clear of your eye. Have your tray and mirror within reach so you can handle one cluster at a time.

3. Pick up one cluster

The angle matters here. Pick up one cluster with its sticky side facing you, as shown in my close-up below. I line the short, curved end of the tweezers along the cluster near its base, so the inside edge supports the cluster across its width. Gently lift it from the tray with that support, rather than tugging on a few lash fibres, which can tear the cluster. Keep the bend of the applicator pointing towards your eye, with the handle extending away from you, ready for the next step. These lashes are pre-glued, so I do not add separate glue.

4. Place the cluster beneath your upper lashes

I look down towards the mirror with the sticky side of the cluster facing me and the tweezer handle pointing away from my face. The curved tip bends back towards my eye. From below, I bring the cluster up to the underside of my natural upper lashes so the sticky base meets the lash hairs. It attaches underneath the upper lashes, not to the lower lashes. Follow your own set’s placement instructions and keep the adhesive and applicator clear of the waterline and eye surface. Pause the video here to see the angle.

5. Gently press to secure

Once the cluster is positioned, I gently press it together with the natural lashes using the applicator. Keep the tips clear of your eye and avoid pinching your eyelid. The final close-up shows the finished look.

Does “glueless” mean there is no adhesive?

For the pre-glued clusters in this tutorial, it means the adhesive is already on the lash base. You do not need to apply a separate lash glue. It does not mean adhesive-free, and it is still worth checking the ingredients and instructions before use.

Before you try them

Start with washed hands and clean tools. Follow the instructions supplied with your particular lashes for placement, wear time and removal. This short tutorial shows application; it does not establish how long a set can be worn or whether it can be reused.

If a product irritates your eyes, stop using it. Seek medical advice if irritation persists. The FDA’s eye cosmetic guidance explains these hygiene precautions and why lash adhesives need care.
