What is Lash Primer: What Does it Do & How to Apply?

When it comes to achieving the very best retention for your clients, preparation is just as important as the application itself. And when it comes to prepping for lash treatments, a lash primer is absolutely a must have on your lash trolley. 

What is Lash Primer?

A lash primer is a pre-treatment product that helps to remove any additional oils following a lash cleanse/ bath, and creates a clean base for your adhesive to work its magic. It’s a step you absolutely should not skip if you want your clients to get the most out of their lash extensions.

How to Use Lash Primer

Once you’ve rinsed off your lash cleanser and dried the lashes (for this, we recommend using a lash fan!) apply a small amount of lash primer to the tip of a microbrush and run through the base of your client’s natural lashes. Be mindful to avoid the skin of the eyelids, and apply directly onto the lashes.

Which Clients Do I Need To Use Lash Primer For?

Compared with other lash primers on the market that rely heavily on alcohol as the main ingredient, our Forever Fix lash primer is water-based with a small amount of ethanol, meaning it is a suitable choice for all clients (even those will dry skin/lashes!)

Sometimes a heavy alcohol-based primer can strip too many of the natural oils from your client’s lashes, which can impact retention. Our Forever Fix lash primer acts as a two in one product, not only does it cleanse and prep the natural lashes, but it also helps to speed up the adhesive curing time which in return will give a stress free seamless application.

Key benefits you will notice when using forever fix lash primer:

  • Faster lash attachment: as your client’s lashes have been prepped to perfection, you’ll notice the application of your lash extensions will be speedier and stress-free.
  • Less slipping during placement: primer helps to quicken the curing time of your adhesive, so there’s going to be less slipping of the extension on the natural lash while your adhesive cures. 
  • More consistent adhesion & lash wrapping: when you know your base is consistent and clean, your lash extension application will follow! 

Our forever fix primer has been tried and tested with every single one of our best selling adhesives, bulletproof bond, bestie bond & bulletproof max.

For the ultimate retention you can also purchase these in our retention bundle which includes our lock it in sealant , this is applied to the base of the lashes post application to shield the adhesive from any oils from makeup, cleansing.
