r/lashclusters

Just wanted to pop on here to share my frustrations, warn others, and ask others for recommendations on the best cluster glues and removers you guys use.

So— I’ve seen this remover recommended around for a bit. Checked it out on Amazon, and as you can see, it’s stated for clusters, and says about how gentle the formula is. Well, oh my. The burn is like satans ass. And after rinsing my eyes, what do I see on the label, but “if this gets into your eyes, rinse them immediately and seek medical attention” … for a product that is meant to be used directly around your eye area. Luckily, after rinsing my eyes for a bit just at home, I feel a lot better. However, after filtering the reviews for this product on Amazon to 1 star, there are over 160+ 1 star reviews on this product stating they faced the same issues, some seeking medical attention and even reporting the products on Amazon.

Don’t get me wrong— this product was the only product that removed my lashtite glue without loosing lashes, but at what cost.

I feel quite frustrated at this point and am considering giving up clusters.

It seems either glues aren’t strong enough and don’t hold, or are so strong your eyelashes (or eyes god forbid) are damaged. That’s just not a chance I’m willing to take.

So— I come here also looking for recommendations. Your best super strong, but safe, cluster glues, And your best removers. Preferably that last 5-7 days, strong, somewhat waterproof, but doesn’t kill you to remove.

Thanks for listening to my rant— and recommendations are open! Just a reminder that your lashes being on fleek shouldn’t come at a cost to your health, lol

Ok maybe this is a dumb question, but .. how do you use the part I circled on the other edge of the spoolie? Or do you use it at all with your clusters? I've never seen it mentioned on any of the videos I've watched, which makes me wonder if it has any purpose. 😅 ETA: They come in my lash kits

It’s my first time trying on clusters after years of using mascara lol.
i believe it turned out cute, are there any improvements i could make or tips on how it to make it look better in any way? or another lashmap i should try?

on the rest of my lashes i added mascara, not on the actual clusters btw!

What lash style or lash map is best for someone with prominent/protruding sanpuku eyes? My eyes are very similar to Lala Anthony, Nicole Richie, and Diana Ross. I had a lot of eyelid space and I want to get into lashes but overwhelmed by all of the options.

I just took my last set off and I was wondering if anyone had any lash map ideas! The clusters i have are dark brown and whispy/natural, and i usually look a bit odd with a cat eye but I'm interested in trying a new layout!

My usual map is 12, 14, 14, 12, 10, 8 :)

around the start of June i had some pretty badly placed lashes (touching my waterline basically) with a lot of glue touching my eyelid, this gave me a little puffy and red incident, and the redness was localised to where the glue was touching it/affecting the eye with worse placement. it went away in like 2 days and i was able to wear lashes with no issue for like 6 days (no glue touching skin) ive had more of these incidents where my eyes will be localised red and kinda rough feeling if the placement is too close to my skin or if there is any glue touching my skin, and it fades within like 2-3 days. while wearing the lashes, i don’t feel any burning, itchiness or any symptoms you’d get from a typical allergy, even when i have the reaction and healing, my eyes don’t feel irritated or painful even though they can look a bit dramatic. if anyone has experience something similar i would really appreciate sharing how you prevent it? my application is a bit messy and i’m working on it. Also if anyone could recommend a really strong bond and seal that last 5+ days so it reduces having to redo my clusters and potentially getting glue on my skin. i don’t think this is an allergy as i am able to wear lashes with 0 issue if i apply them carefully and no glue to skin contact is made, are my eyelids just sensitive? i provided some photos of some of the episodes/how my lashes look normally. if any of the photos look dramatic, most are taken after lash removal where i had to rub my already irritated skin with baby oil, the redness usually goes down within the first couple hours, and the dryness takes around 1-2 days. i may have slight lash blindness but don’t bully me lol

First time application. Newcally clusters. 9, 9, 10, 10, 11, 11.

Any advice for what I should try next? I feel my one eye looks a little wonky.

How did I do? 🤗

Hi! I'm just starting to do my own lash extensions and would love some advice on a lash map that would suit my eye shape. I attached a picture of my eye and the Cofier lashes I'll be using—they're C curl lashes.
I was originally planning on doing a short cat-eye, but I'd also love to try a wispy or doll-eye look if you think that would suit my eye shape better.

Everytime I do them I feel like I’m doing something wrong somewhere, any suggestions to place them better

hey, i was scrolling on tiktok when i came across a video of this girls lashes! my mom regularly does lash sets on me but i buy the materials for each set. could any of you tell me what kind of lashes i would need to buy or even what the lash map for this kind of set would be?

It’s been about 4 months of me doing cluster lashes after 3-4 straight years of extensions and I swear I learn something new every time

Like, the angle of my hand…. Using two glues.. etc.

For this, I used a wand type glue on my lashes like mascara, then squeezed some glue from the Kiss Superstick cluster adhesive onto the base of each cluster.

I used lilac street clear coat to seal it.

This’ll probably last me 5 days or so.

Squeeze glue (I much prefer this application type): https://a.co/d/0iDlxmTM

How to you keep from having this white film on your lashes? I know it’s the seal, but is it because it’s a crappy seal? Are there other products that work better or techniques to avoid this?

Applying the bond to the lash base and waterline was much harder than I expected but for a first try I don’t think they look too bad. Maybe a little too close to the waterline?
