Learn how to apply fibre mascara from the Lash Extension Kit for natural-looking length and fullness, with step-by-step guidance and common mistakes to avoid.
Quick answer
Apply the Lash Extension Kit fibres between two coats of Fixing Gel Mascara for natural volume and length without the commitment of false lashes.
Why choose fibres over false lashes
Fibre mascara gives you the look of extensions without the glue, strip lashes, or salon appointments. The Lash Extension Kit combines a conditioning gel mascara with nylon fibres that you layer onto your natural lashes. You control the intensity, so the result can be as subtle or dramatic as you like.
The main trade-off is that fibres require a bit more technique than standard mascara. If you rush the layering, you may end up with clumps or flakes. But with the right approach, you get length and fullness that lasts until you remove your makeup.
Step-by-step: How to apply the Lash Extension Kit fibres
- Step 1: Prep your lashes: Start with clean, dry lashes free of any previous mascara or oil. Curl your lashes if desired. Avoid curling after applying mascara—fibres can stick to the curler and pull lashes.
- Step 2: Apply the first coat of Fixing Gel Mascara: Use the wand to coat your lashes from root to tip. This layer acts as the adhesive base for the fibres. Don't let the mascara dry completely before the next step, or the fibres won't stick.
- Step 3: Add the Extension Fibres: While the mascara is still damp, gently press the fibre wand onto your lashes. Focus on the tips for length or along the full lash for volume. Build up gradually. Too many fibres at once cause clumping. Tap off excess from the wand first.
- Step 4: Seal with a second coat of Fixing Gel Mascara: Apply a thin layer of the gel mascara over the fibres. This locks them in place and blends them with your natural lashes. Use a light hand—heavy brushing can dislodge the fibres.
- Step 5: Let it set and check for fallout: Wait 30–60 seconds for the mascara to dry. Gently brush through with a clean spoolie to remove any loose fibres. If you see black specks on your cheeks, you may have applied too many fibres or not sealed them well.
What you need
- Lash Extension Kit: The Lash Extension Kit includes Fixing Gel Mascara and Extension Fibres, saving you money compared to buying separately. You get a complete system designed to work together, so you don't have to guess which mascara pairs well with fibres.
Lash Extension Kit - Extension Fibres: Extension Fibres are made of nylon and are designed to be sandwiched between two coats of gel mascara for added length and width. The fibres cling to the wet mascara, building volume without the weight of multiple mascara coats.
