A Beginner's Guide to Eyelash Extension Kits: Everything You Need to Know
Beginners and professionals alike can appreciate the benefits of a good eyelash extension kit. And why not? These are made to have everything you need for a basic to pro lash (depending on what you get). That’s right - you can find a range of basic eyelash extension kits, individual lash kits, and even pro lash extension kits in the market right now!
Right now, we’re focusing on the most familiar type of lashes/lash kits - and those are the band lashes. Let’s get to it!
Why Eyelash Extension Kits Exist?
You can purchase all the items you need to apply eyelash extensions individually. So… Why do lash extension kits even exist?
While some folks would prefer to pick and choose their tools and lashes as they go, there will always be those who just want a clear-cut kit to simply grab when they need to.
Think of beginners who don’t really know what they’re doing just yet. A lash kit will be a fantastic blueprint as to what they’ll need if they eventually choose to upgrade their accessories or elevate their skills. The kits will have most of what they need for now. That’s convenient and less of a headache!
One thing about lash kits for beginners is that they’re usually sold at a lower price. Since they usually come in a little case to hold everything in, that’s a pretty sweet deal!
Lash Kit For Beginners: What’s Inside Them?
Taking the ones we have at Method and using them as a prime example, an ideal kit would have some lashes, an applicator, and glue to hold everything in place. These, truth be told, are all you need. You can still get more tools and accessories to make your life a bit easier, but your essentials are all covered with decent eyelash extension kits like the ones we have.
Eyelashes
A must, really. Without them, we wouldn't know what to put on your natural lashes now, would we? Different kits would have different styles and lengths of lashes. Remember to choose based on the ones you want and need - not because of the other contents of the kit!
Lash Applicator
These are also known as your tweezers. Use them to safely and neatly apply false eyelashes. Using your fingers to do the job may cause irritation or make it downright difficult. Having a lash applicator specifically assigned for the job makes everything more sanitary.
Lash Glue
Without it, your fake lashes would simply fall off. How do you spot a good lash glue from a bad one? You won’t need much glue to secure your lashes and it should apply evenly without much fuss. If you find that you need a lot for it to stick, it’s low-quality glue that’s not worth the mess.
Mascara
A finishing touch to your eyelash extensions! Applying mascara can help cover up any minor mistakes and make everything look put together. Most people have their own mascara, even if they don’t use false lashes. So most kits won’t really have them.
Glue Remover
Having a reliable glue remover means you aren’t yanking off your false lashes when you’re done with them. Goodness no! A lash remover will clear off any adhesive and make things much easier to wipe off. A gentle touch is all it needs. Plus, certain ones will also moisturise your lids along the way.
Mirror
This is key. Everyone (and we mean everyone) will have a hard time applying lashes at home without a decent mirror. You need to see what you’re doing! Lash kits needn’t have this one for two reasons. First, you’ll need one that’s big enough to see everything. Second, you aren’t bringing your lash kits with you as you go about your day. They’re left at home!
Is that all you need? Basically, yes! You shouldn’t be left with information overload. You should leave here more confident than ever, knowing that you have all you need to start applying lashes. If you’re ready to jump in, we have other resources that will help beginners like you!
