DIY LASHES · BEGINNER GUIDE

Press On Lashes.
Yes, You Can Do Them Yourself.

If you love having your lashes done but appointments, infills and the cost are becoming a lot, this is exactly why I love DIY.

I’m a lash artist, a business owner and a busy mum. I still want to look put together, but I also want lashes I can do at home, in my own time, without needing to book another thing into my week.

First Things First

What Actually Are
Press On Lashes?

Meraki Press On Lashes are individual underlash clusters with the adhesive already on the lash band. There is no separate Bond + Seal step. You gently remove a cluster from the tray, place it underneath your natural lashes and fuse it into position with your applicator.

That is why I recommend Press Ons when someone tells me, “I have literally never done my own lashes before.” They take one of the trickiest parts of traditional DIY lashes, applying the right amount of bond, completely out of the equation.

THE SIMPLE VERSION Remove. Place. Press.

That really is the application process.

Why I Love Them

Because Looking Put Together
Shouldn’t Need An Appointment.

01

They Save Time

I can do them when it suits me. After the kids are in bed, before I go somewhere or whenever I decide I want fresh lashes.

02

They Save Money

Instead of paying for a salon set and ongoing infills, one DIY tray can give you multiple lash sets at home.

03

They Feel Doable

You do not need to be a lash artist. You do not need perfect hands. Your first set might take longer and then suddenly it clicks.

04

You Choose The Look

Soft everyday lashes one week, fluffy lashes the next. You can change your style without committing to weeks of the same set.

How To Apply

Your First Set,
Step By Step.

01

Start Clean

Begin with clean, completely dry natural lashes. Avoid oily products around the eye before application.

02

Choose Your Clusters

Plan your lengths before you start. You can follow the tray or mix lengths to create the shape you like.

03

Remove Gently

Use your applicator to carefully lift the cluster from the tray without pulling or crushing the lash fibres.

04

Place Underneath

Position the cluster underneath your natural lashes, slightly above the waterline. It should never be sitting on the skin or waterline.

05

Continue Across

Work across the eye until you are happy with the shape. A slight overlap can help create a seamless look, but you do not need to heavily stack them.

06

Fuse

Gently press the clusters and natural lashes together with your applicator. Secure them without squeezing excessively hard.

Then give them a minute.

Avoid water and steam for around 2 hours after application. Be gentle when washing your face and do not rub or pull at the clusters.

Choosing A Style

If lash names mean absolutely nothing to you yet 😂 this is the easiest way to see the difference.

Press On vs Bond + Seal

Which DIY System
Is Right For You?

There is not one “better” system. I sell both because different girls want different things.

PRESS ON

I want the easiest option.

Choose Press On if you want the adhesive already on the cluster and as few application steps as possible.

BOND + SEAL

I want more control.

Choose Bond + Seal if you are happy applying the bond yourself and want the traditional Meraki DIY system.

Please Don’t Skip This Bit

Removal Matters
Just As Much As Application.

Never pull, pick or peel DIY clusters from your natural lashes. Use Meraki remover and give it time to soften the adhesive before gently sliding the clusters away.

Your natural lashes are the priority. If something is not releasing easily, add more remover and wait. Do not force it.

Questions I Get All The Time

DIY Lash
FAQs.

Do Press On Lashes need Bond + Seal?+

No. Press On clusters are already pre glued, so you do not apply separate Bond + Seal.

Can a complete beginner use them?+

Yes. Press Ons are the system I would look at first if your priority is the simplest possible DIY application. Like anything new, allow yourself a little practice on your first set.

Where do I put the clusters?+

They are applied underneath your natural lashes, slightly above the waterline. Do not place them directly on the waterline or skin.

Can I shower with DIY lashes on?+

Once your lashes have had time to set, you can shower while wearing them. Avoid water and steam for around the first 2 hours and be gentle around the eye area afterwards.

How do I take them off?+

Use Meraki remover. Let the remover soften the adhesive and gently slide the clusters away. Never pull them off your natural lashes.

What if I want a different look?+

That is one of my favourite parts. You can choose different styles and lengths, mix your mapping and change your look when you apply a fresh set.

Ready When You Are

You Really Can
Do Your Own Lashes.

If you have been staring at DIY lashes thinking there is absolutely no way you could do them, start with Press Ons. Give yourself one set to learn. You might surprise yourself.
