Are Cluster Lashes Good for Sensitive Eyes?

Are Cluster Lashes Good for Sensitive Eyes?

 

 

 

If you have sensitive eyes but still want to try the glam look of lashes, DIY cluster lashes might be the perfect solution for you! They offer flexibility in application and can be customized to suit your specific needs. However, it’s crucial to choose the right products and take proper care during the application process to avoid irritation or discomfort. Let’s dive into how you can make cluster lashes work for sensitive eyes.

 

How to choose the right cluster lashes for sensitive eyes

Picking the right cluster lashes is essential when dealing with sensitive eyes. Smaller, lighter lashes tend to be more comfortable for sensitive eyes. Not sure what size to pick? Check out our guide on what size cluster lashes should I use. Cluster lashes are generally better for sensitive eyes compared to full-strip lashes, as you can apply them in smaller sections, reducing the chance of irritation. Learn more about the difference between cluster and strip lashes to make an informed choice.

Application tips for sensitive eyes

The way you apply cluster lashes can make a big difference in comfort. Follow these application tips to protect your sensitive eyes:

 

  • Use a Hypoallergenic Bonder: Make sure the adhesive you use is formulated for sensitive eyes, like a hypoallergenic bonder. This will help minimize irritation.
  • Perform a Patch Test: Before applying lashes, always test the adhesive on a small area of skin to ensure you're not allergic.
  • Prep Your Eyes: Clean your eyes and lashes before starting, removing any oil or dirt that could interfere with the adhesive.
  • Apply in a Well-Ventilated Area: Fumes from the adhesive can irritate sensitive eyes, so make sure you’re applying your lashes in a room with good airflow.
  • Use Tweezers for Precise Placement: A good pair of tweezers, like the ones in our DIY Tweezer Set, can help you apply lashes accurately, reducing the risk of irritation.
  • Avoid Applying Too Close to the Lash Line: Placing lashes too close to the lash line can cause discomfort. Leave a tiny gap to prevent the adhesive from touching your eyelids.
  • Let the Bonder Get Tacky Before Applying: Always allow the bonder to become tacky before placing the lashes. This helps the lashes adhere better and reduces the risk of sliding or irritation. For an easy-to-use bonder, check out the Double DIY Bonder & Sealant.
  • Use Lightweight Cluster Lashes: Opt for lightweight lashes to avoid putting too much pressure on your natural lashes.
  • Apply Minimal Bonder: Using just enough adhesive will prevent build-up and reduce the chance of stickiness. For troubleshooting issues with your lashes staying on, take a look at why do my cluster lashes stay on.
  • Aftercare for cluster lashes with sensitive eyes

    Taking care of your cluster lashes is just as important as applying them. Proper aftercare will help prevent irritation and extend the wear time of your lashes:

  • Avoid Oil-Based Products: Oils break down adhesive and can cause irritation. Stick to oil-free makeup and skincare products.
  • Use Gentle, Oil-Free Makeup Remover: Always use an oil-free, gentle makeup remover to clean your face without disrupting the adhesive.
  • Clean Lashes with a Lash Cleanser: Regular cleaning is essential to avoid build-up and irritation. Use a cleanser specifically designed for lashes.
  • Avoid Rubbing or Tugging at Lashes: Rubbing your eyes can lead to irritation and damage your lashes. Be gentle!
  • Use Preservative-Free Eye Drops if Needed: If your eyes feel dry, use preservative-free drops to keep them comfortable.
  • Avoid Sleeping on Your Face: Sleeping face-down can cause your lashes to rub against your pillow, leading to discomfort or early lash shedding.
  • Brush Lashes with a Clean Spoolie: Gently brush your lashes daily to keep them neat and avoid tangling.
  • Avoid Excessive Exposure to Water: Limit your lashes' exposure to water, especially in the first 24 hours after application, to ensure the adhesive sets properly.
  • Gently Pat Eyes Dry After Washing: If your lashes get wet, gently pat them dry instead of rubbing them.
  • Remove Lashes Carefully: When it's time to take them off, use a remover designed for sensitive eyes. You can find tips on proper removal in our guide on how to remove cluster lashes.
  • Signs of an allergic reaction to cluster lashes

    If you notice any of the following symptoms after applying cluster lashes, it may be a sign of an allergic reaction. In this case, it’s important to remove the lashes right away and seek advice from a healthcare professional. By staying aware of these signs and taking the necessary precautions, you can enjoy gorgeous cluster lashes with minimal risk of irritation, even with sensitive eyes!

     

  • Redness around the eyes
  • Swelling of the eyelids
  • Itching or irritation
  • Watery eyes
  • Burning sensation
  • Rashes or bumps on the eyelid area
  • Discomfort or pain around the lash line
  • Excessive tearing
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Crusting or discharge around the eyes
