Learn how to use pink eyelash tape to protect lower lashes during lash extensions or strip lash application. Step-by-step guide with common mistakes to avoid.
Quick answer
To use pink eyelash tape, first clean and dry the lower lashes, then apply a strip of tape directly over them to hold them down and protect them from adhesive or lash glue during upper lash application.
Why pink eyelash tape is a lash kit essential
Pink eyelash tape is a low-tack, gentle adhesive tape specifically designed for use around the delicate eye area. Its soft pink color makes it easy to see against the skin, helping you place it precisely. Unlike standard office tape or medical tape, it won't pull on natural lashes or irritate the skin when removed.
This tape is best used alongside under-eye lash pads to fully isolate the lower lashes. The tape secures the lower lashes flat against the skin so they don't interfere with the upper lash application, whether you're applying strip lashes or individual lash extensions.
How to apply pink eyelash tape: step-by-step
- Prepare the lower lash area: Start with clean, dry skin. Ensure the client's lower lashes are free of makeup, oils, and residue. Gently brush the lower lashes downward so they lie flat against the skin. Skipping the cleanse step can cause the tape to lift during application.
- Cut and apply the tape: Cut a piece of pink eyelash tape about 2–3 inches long. Hold one end and gently press the tape directly over the lower lashes, starting from the inner corner and smoothing outward. The tape should cover the lash line completely, with the lashes held down. Avoid stretching the tape as you apply it—this can cause it to pull on the skin or lashes.
- Secure the tape edge: Press the outer edge of the tape firmly against the skin to ensure no gaps. If you're also using under-eye pads, place the pad first, then apply the tape over it for extra protection. A lifted edge can allow a stray lower lash to stick to the upper lashes during extension application.
- Remove tape after application: Once the upper lash application is complete and any adhesive is fully dry, gently peel the tape away from the outer corner inward. Move slowly to avoid tugging the skin or lashes. Removing the tape too quickly can irritate the skin or pull out natural lashes.
