The Correct Way to Use Eye Pads for Eyelash Extensions

When it comes to applying eyelash extensions, proper placement of under-eye pads is crucial for ensuring client comfort and achieving flawless results. The image above illustrates the right and wrong ways to position eye pads, offering a visual guide to help lash artists perfect their technique.

Why Eye Pad Placement Matters

Incorrect positioning of eye pads can cause:

• Irritation: Poorly placed pads may rub against the client's eye or lash line.
• Discomfort: Misaligned pads can press too hard on sensitive areas.
• Ineffective Isolation: Improper placement makes it harder to separate natural lashes during application.

Correct placement ensures:

• A comfortable experience for the client.
• Better isolation and precision for the lash artist.
• Prevention of adhesive seepage to the skin or lashes.

Common Mistakes and Their Solutions

1. Mistake: Pads Too Close to the Eye

   • Problem: Causes irritation and risk of touching the eyeball.
   • Solution: Ensure the pad sits below the waterline and aligns with the lower lashes, as shown in the second example above.

2. Mistake: Incorrect Pad Curve

   • Problem: The pad fails to isolate lower lashes or leaves gaps.
   • Solution: Match the curve of the pad to the natural curve of the client's eye.

Tips for Perfect Eye Pad Placement

• Prep the Skin: Cleanse the under-eye area to remove oils for better adhesion.
• Adjust as Needed: If the client feels discomfort, reposition the pad immediately.
• Use Quality Pads: Invest in pads that are soft, breathable, and non-irritating.
