How to Apply Cluster Lashes: A Step-by-Step Guide

What Are Cluster Lashes?

Cluster lashes are small, pre-made fans of lash fibres that you apply in sections along your lash line. Unlike a full strip, they give you buildable, customisable volume — perfect for everyday wear or a full glam look. Browse our full range of cluster lashes to find your perfect style.

What You'll Need

  • Cluster lashes
  • Lash bond and seal (or lash glue)
  • Tweezers or a lash applicator
  • A mirror with good lighting
  • Mascara (optional)
  • lash Curlers

Step 1: Prep Your Natural Lashes

Start with clean, dry lashes — free from mascara, oils, or serums. Curl your natural lashes gently with a lash curler to help the clusters blend seamlessly.

Step 2: Measure and Trim

Hold a cluster against your eye to check the length. Clusters should sit just inside your outer corner for the most natural look.

Step 3: Apply the Bond

Apply a thin layer of lash bond to the base of the cluster. Wait 15–25 seconds until it becomes tacky — this is key for a strong, long-lasting hold.

Step 4: Place the Clusters

Using tweezers or an applicator, place the first cluster at your outer corner, pressing it gently against the base of your natural lashes (not your skin). Work inward, layering clusters to build your desired volume. For a natural look, use 3–4 clusters per eye. For full glam, layer up to 6–8.

Step 5: Press and Seal

Once all clusters are placed, gently press your natural lashes and the clusters together using your fingertips or the flat side of your tweezers. Apply a coat of lash seal over the bond line to lock everything in place and extend wear.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

Apply a coat of mascara to blend your natural lashes with the clusters if desired. Finish with eyeliner along the lash line to conceal the bond for a seamless finish.

Tips for a Flawless Finish

  • Work in sections — outer, middle, inner — for even placement.
  • Less is more to start; you can always add more clusters.
  • Use a magnifying mirror for precision, especially if you're new to clusters.
  • Don't rush the bond — letting it get tacky is the most important step.
