How to Apply Mink Lashes Like a Pro (Step-by-Step Tutorial)
One of the most common questions is:
“How do I apply false lashes without them lifting or looking unnatural?”
Step 1: Prep Your Natural Lashes
Before applying your mink lashes, curl your natural lashes with an eyelash curler. This step ensures your lashes blend seamlessly with the falsies. For extra hold, apply a light coat of mascara (optional).
Step 2: Measure & Trim
Could you gently remove the lashes from the tray and place them on your lash line to measure? If they extend past the outer corner of your eye, trim the excess from the outer edge with small scissors. Proper sizing ensures comfort and a natural look.
Pro Tip: Always trim from the outer corner, never the inner corner, to maintain the lash shape.
Step 3: Apply & Secure
Using tweezers or a lash applicator, place the strip along your lash line. Press gently to secure the band against your skin. The black band acts like eyeliner, giving you a polished finish even if you skip liner.
Lash Care 101: How to Reuse Your Mink Lashes
One of the best features of Akua Ashley Mink Lashes is their reusability. With proper care, you can get 20–30 wears out of a single pair. Here’s how to maximize their lifespan:
Store Properly – Always return your lashes to their original tray after wearing. This helps preserve their shape and prevents dust or bacteria buildup.
Clean Gently – After 2–3 wears, lightly wipe the lash band with an oil-free makeup remover or water to remove glue and makeup residue.
Reactivate Stickiness – If the band loses tackiness, you can extend their life by applying a thin layer of lash glue, just like a standard strip lash.
Avoid Oil-Based Products – Oils can break down the adhesive and ruin the lash fibers, so stick to oil-free removers.
Warm Before Reapplying – For a stronger hold, warm the lash band with a fan or blow dryer (on low) for 5 seconds before application.
Common Lash Mistakes to Avoid
Even the best lashes won’t look flawless if applied incorrectly. Here are a few common mistakes and how to fix them:
Not trimming lashes – Oversized lashes can poke your inner corner and look unnatural. Always trim for the perfect fit.
Skipping mascara – If your natural lashes are too straight, they may not blend. Curl and apply a thin mascara coat first.
Using too much glue – More isn’t better! Excess glue can make the lash band messy and hard to stick. A thin, even layer works best.
Sleeping in lashes – While tempting, always remove them before bed. Sleeping in falsies can damage both the lashes and your natural lashes.
Why Reusable Mink Lashes Are Better Than Extensions
If you’re debating between lash extensions and strip lashes, here’s why Akua Ashley Mink Lashes are the smarter choice:
Lower Cost – Extensions can cost $100+ every few weeks, while reusable mink lashes give the same glam effect for a fraction of the price.
Less Maintenance – No daily brushing, filling, or avoiding oil-based skincare.
No Damage – Extensions can weaken your natural lashes over time, while strip lashes keep them healthy.
Style Flexibility – Change your lash look anytime from natural to dramatic without committing to one style.
