EYE PATCH APPLICATION
You’re going to need to perfect your placement - choosing the perfect eyepatch
is only one part of the challenge - now you need to prep and place like a BOSS!
Before you do anything else, clean the skin with Remover Pads (P.S. don’t forget
to wash lashes with Lash Shampoo prior to the treatment). Oily, makeup
covered skin simply will not keep those eyepatches in place! Take a Remover
Pad, roll it on your finger and gently cleanse the under-eye area.
Let the skin dry, then place your eyepatches in 2 easy steps:
Start from the inner corners to ensure the eyepatch is not placed too
far/too close to the eye and nose.
Follow the lash line and place the eyepatch around 1mm lower than the
water line. Placing the eyepatch too high will result in eye irritation, which is
not only super uncomfortable for your client, but will leave a big red mark
on the eyeball! The discomfort will make their eyes twitchy, making your job
harder, and the redness will ruin your lash photos, and keep the client
uncomfortable for days after treatment!
Remember not to place the eyepatch too low either as this will cause bottom
lashes to come out from under the eyepatch, which will make it ever so easy to
stick the extensions to bottom lashes (yikes!)
WHAT ELSE CAN HELP?
Lower the outer corner of the eyepatch to make it comfortable. This is easiest
to gage when the eyes are closed, as you may find that your client’s eyes kind of
suck in the patch. Gently pull back the top eyelid, lift the outer corner of the
eyepatch and place back down where it is comfortable.
Use surgical tape if needed for baby lashes. Again, this is easiest to do when the
eyes are closed - simply pull back the top eyelid gently and tape down any
stubborn baby lashes with tape. Continue to double check during the treatment
to ensure your client’s comfort, and to make sure no baby lashes have snuck
out from under the eyepatch!
TIPS & TRICKS
You’ve picked the perfect eyepatches for your client but wait! You’ll almost
certainly have an awkward one! Some clients have smaller eyes, or very round
eyes. Maybe that has scared you in the past, maybe it’s even frustrated you -
you would be completely normal for that, but what we’re about to show you will
be a game-changer! Learning how to cut the eyepatches will help you to
perfectly place them even on the most difficult eye shapes!
