LASH 911, WHAT'S YOUR EMERGENCY?

HOW TO APPLY ACCENT LASHES

1. Apply eye makeup as usual. 
2. Curve the lashes to match your eye line by bending them around the magnets.   Once you put them on, you'll see what we mean. If they look too straight, remove & curve again until they fit.
3. Apply mascara. This helps to blend your lashes seamlessly with the Magnetic lashes.
4. Using the applicator tool or your fingers, place a TOP PIECE over top of your natural lashes.  Using your other hand, place a BOTTOM PIECE (the ones with the red dots) underneath the lash until the magnets click together.  Your natural lashes will be sandwiched between the two pieces. This may take you a few times at first, but once you figure out your unique way of doing it, you'll repeat it the same way every time.  It's a little like using contact lenses- strange at first, but once you find your own method, it gets easier.
5. Curve, brush & blend the lashes if needed.
6. Add some extra mascara to your natural lashes near the inner corners of your eyes that aren't covered by the lashes.  Voila!

HOW TO APPLY FULL STRIP MAGNETIC LASHES

1. If you are using Full Strips with 5 magnets, trim them to fit your eyes first.  Be sure not to trim too far.  Better to cut too little, than too much!
2. Apply mascara. This helps to blend your lashes seamlessly with the Magnetic lashes.
3. Using your fingers, place a TOP LASH PIECE on top of your natural lashes. The bottom piece will have red dots.
4. Using the other hand & the application tool, place a mini lash piece directly under a magnet as close to your eye line as possible until it clicks together.  We recommend starting at the outer corner, but you may start at the inner corner if needed.
5. Continue to place as many mini lash pieces as needed along the magnets until secure.  Some clients opt for one at each corner & one in the middle, but use as many as you need.
6. If you are using 3-Way Full Strips, you will either have 2 or 3 magnets, and 2 or 3 corresponding mini lash pieces.  You can also opt to use the long BOTTOM  lash piece instead to secure UNDERNEATH your lashes for a fuller look. This can sometimes seem difficult at first, as you'll notice the magnets "fighting" to snap together when you don't want them to.  Alternatively, to make things easier, you can simply stack the TOP & BOTTOM long lash pieces together and place them ON TOP of your natural lashes.  With the other hand using the applicator tool, attach the mini pieces UNDERNEATH to each magnet.  
7. Brush & blend if needed. Voila!

HELPFUL TIPS

• The most important thing to remember is to NEVER EVER PULL THE LASHES APART BY THE HAIRS when the top & bottom pieces are together. Always SLIDE the magnets away from each other by using your thumb and index finger.  This will force them apart without ripping the magnets or lash hairs off.
• Keep your lashes free from debris & bacteria by cleansing periodically.  Swish lash in a bowl of warm water with facial cleanser. DO NOT FULLY IMMERSE. Dip the lash bands in and swish for a few seconds.  Using a Q-tip or the included mascara brush, wipe away any makeup residue.
• To disinfect, spray lashes with 70% rubbing alcohol & allow to dry on a paper towel.

HOW TO APPLY ACCENT LASHES USING MAGNETIC LINER

1. Shake bottle well before each use.
2. Apply 2 coats of liner & allow it to DRY COMPLETELY.  This is very important, otherwise the liner may lift.  The liner may adhere to the lash magnets before it has a chance to fully set on the skin, which causes lifting.  We suggest moving on to another part of your makeup & hair routine, or fan yourself with a fabulous fan until dry! About 1-2 minutes.
3. Apply mascara.  This is recommended to help the lashes blend with your own. Curve the lashes a little bit around the magnets before putting them on. As soon as you place one on your lashes, you'll understand what we mean.  Each person has their own unique eye shape & curve to their eye line.  If you find they are too straight, remove & curve them as needed. 
4. Place a TOP PIECE on top of your lashes near the outer corners along the liner. Once it's in the desired spot, gently press the magnet so it holds firmly to the liner. Voila! The beauty of using liner is you don't HAVE to use the upper & lower parts of the lash kit.  The bottom lash with the red dots are placed UNDERNEATH your natural lashes, and the ones without the red dots go ON TOP of your natural lashes.  Your real lashes are sandwiched between the two. I
5. f desired, you can place a bottom piece directly underneath your lashes & the Accent lash for added security, or to add a little more volume.  
6. Add a little more mascara to the lashes near the inner corners of your eyes that aren't covered by the lashes.  Brush & blend lashes if needed with the included mascara brush.

HOW TO APPLY FULL STRIP LASHES USING MAGNETIC LINER

1. Shake bottle well before each use.Apply 2 coats of liner & allow it to DRY COMPLETELY.  This is very important, otherwise the liner may lift.  The liner may adhere to the lash magnets before it has a chance to fully set on the skin, which causes lifting.  We suggest moving on to another part of your make up & hair routine, or fan yourself with a fabulous fan until dry! About 1-2 minutes.
2. Apply mascara.  This is recommended to help the lashes blend with your own. 
3. If you're applying lashes with 5 magnets, trim to fit your eye size first.  Be careful not to over trim just in case.Place full strip along the liner.  Once in place, gently press down along the magnets to lock in place. Voila!
4. OPTIONAL: For extra security, you can add the mini lashes UNDERNEATH your lashes at each magnet.  You may even add just 1 mini lash piece  at the inner and outer corners if you wish.
5. If you are using our 3-Way Full Strip Lashes, follow the above instructions, minus the trimming.  You can opt to add the mini pieces if you wish, OR add the bottom layer UNDERNEATH for extra volume.

TO REMOVE LASHES 

• Gently pull lashes away from your lash line.

TO REMOVE MAGNETIC EYELINER

• You may use Micellar water, eye makeup remover, Castor oil, or baby oil if you wish, but we highly recommend using just a hot wash cloth with your usual facial cleanser.  If you place it on your lids for a few seconds until saturated, the liner just melts away.  We like this method best!

HELPFUL TIPS

• Always shake the liner before each use & make sure the lid is tightly closed when not using.
• If you adjust the placement of your  lashes at any point and they do not stick, you may need to add a little more liner.
• Keep your lashes free from product build-up by cleansing periodically.  Swish lashes in a bowl of warm water & facial cleanser and remove debris with a Q-tip or the included mascara brush. DO NOT FULLY IMMERSE THE LASHES IN WATER, just tip the band in & swish.  To disinfect, spray lashes with 70% rubbing alcohol and allow to dry on a paper towel.
• If you find your lashes aren't sticking as well as they normally do, you can scratch product build-up away from the magnets by using your finger nail in a pinch. We highly recommend cleansing properly when you can to prolong the life of your lashes & to keep bacteria away.
• Any brand of lashes can be used with our Magnetic Liner, and any brand of Magnetic Liner can be used with our lashes!

This depends on a few factors.  First off, are you a first-time user, or are you comfortable & familiar with applying lashes?  

• If this is your first time trying Magnetic Lashes, & you're looking for something natural & simple to use, we suggest trying our Accent Lashes.  Our Here Kitty-Kitty Accents are easy to use & blend well with all eye shapes & all natural lash lengths. These provide the most natural look & are a great way to get just enough oomph to make your eyes pop. If you'd prefer a bolder style we recommend So Divine Accents.
• If you are already familiar with applying both Accent or Full Strip Magnetic Lashes & you're simply trying to decide which style is right for you, keep reading!

Next, do prefer to wear eyeliner on a regular basis? 

• If you don't like to wear eyeliner, you can still choose from any of our styles.  All our lashes are designed to be worn with or without Magnetic Liner.  It simply means you need to wear BOTH parts of the lash kit.  One piece will go ON TOP of your natural lashes, & another piece will go UNDERNEATH.  Your natural lashes will be sandwiched between the two.  Application is quite simple, though if you aren't familiar with Magnetic Lashes, it may take you a few tries at first.  Don't get discouraged!  Once you do this a few times, & find your own way that works best, it will be a snap.  It's a little like wearing contact lenses.  A little strange the first time, but once you master it, you'll repeat it the exact same way every time.
• If you wear eyeliner regularly, especially liquid eyeliner, application is BEYOND simple.  Simply shake the bottle, apply 2 coats, & let dry completely.  Place a lash along your liner & you are done!  All our styles can be worn with or without Magnetic Liner, & any brand of lashes will work with our Magnetic Liner.

CHOOSING A STYLE

• We've grouped our lashes by TYPE & by STYLE.  If you are searching for a particular TYPE of lash, like a 3D Mink lash or a Vegan Faux-Mink lash, shop by Lash TYPE.  If you are looking for Accents or Full Strip Lashes, continue to shop by TYPE.
• If you are searching for a particular look, shop by STYLE.
• Our lash STYLES are divided into 3 categories: 

1. The  MINIMALIST COLLECTION contains styles that are most natural.  It also includes all of our Accent styles, since these are the easiest to apply.
2. The DAY-TO-NIGHT COLLECTION contains our mid-range styles. These are a little bolder than our Minimalist styles & can be worn during the day or at night.  This collection also features our Signature 3-Way Full Strip Lashes which are all about layering!  You can opt to wear 1 layer for a lighter look, or 2 layers for a fuller look.  
3. The BOLD COLLECTION offers our most dramatic styles.

• If you have hooded eyes & are looking for something to help open up your eyes, choose styles that are either winged or full with a little curl, like So Divine Full Strips, or Rock Star.  See style descriptions for more details.
• All measurements are listed below each style description along with recommendations like "great for small eyes". Styles with 5 magnets can be trimmed to fit your unique eye shape.  Styles with 3 magnets have 1mm on each end which can also be trimmed if needed.  Lashes that are 27 mm or smaller are considered "universal fit" & can be worn by anyone.

If you need more help selecting a style, feel free to reach out with your questions.  Email us at hello@vondarlingxo.com.

Our Lashes can easily be worn 30+ times with proper care & maintenance. 

LASH TIPS

• Keep your lashes clean & dry by storing them in their original case between uses.
• Do not swim while wearing lashes.  They will survive a good cry or a little rain, but we don't recommend swimming.
• Like all cosmetics (particularly eye makeup) do not share with other people.  This increases your risk of getting an infection.
• Keep your lashes free from bacteria by removing product build-up.  If you use Magnetic Liner & notice they aren't "sticking" as well as they should, make sure the magnets do not have liner residue on them.  You can scratch each magnet with your finger nail in a pinch, but we do recommend periodic cleaning of your lashes.  To clean, gently swish lashes in a bowl (or fill the sink) with sudsy warm water & facial cleanser.  DO NOT IMMERSE THEM FULLY,  just dip the band area & swish for a few seconds. Using a Q-tip and/or the included mascara brush, scrub magnets  & make up residue off.  Alternatively, you may use micellar water or waterproof eye makeup remover & a Q-tip. To sanitize, spray with 70 % rubbing alcohol & allow to dry on a paper towel.
