The Ultimate Guide To Creating Dazzling Glitter Lash Extensions!

The most anticipated time of the year for many is just around the corner. Whether it's the excitement of Halloween or the warmth of Christmas, we all love embracing the seasonal changes. As the weather gets colder, it's the perfect opportunity to get a bit creative with our fashion and style, trying out something new. So, what's the latest trend in eyelash extensions? Let us take you on a journey through the wonderful world of Glitter Lashes and show you how simple it is to incorporate them into your lash looks, especially for those special occasions. These glitter lash extensions are not only completely customisable for your clients but will also add that extra sparkle to any festive or spooky looks you might want to create in the upcoming months. 

Glitter Lashes

Glitter lashes initially had their roots in fantasy lash designs primarily used for competitions. However, these days, they've gained popularity during festive seasons like Halloween. Glitter eyelash extensions are now an excellent choice for any client aiming to enhance their impeccable style and make a dazzling impression.

How To Create Glitter Lashes

First, you'll want to gather your Eyelash Extensions. Feel free to choose any lashes that suit the style you have in mind.

Next, grab a Glass Dish for easy access to your glitter. As an environmentally conscious company, we encourage the use of biodegradable glitters for our eco-friendly Lash Techs and their clients. Opt for glitters with smaller pieces, as larger ones may not adhere as effectively and could overpower the look a bit.

Now, select your favourite pair of Tweezers – if you're creating fans, make sure your tweezers are suitable for volume lashing techniques. Carefully dip the tips of your fan, spike, or single lash extensions into Crystal Bond clear lash glue and then gently dip them into the glitter. Be sure to tap off any excess glitter before allowing the lash to dry. Once it's dry, you can apply it to the natural lashes just like any other fan or extension. It's as simple as that. You can also check out the video below for a demonstration of the technique. 

London Lash Top Tip: When it comes to aftercare, recommend clients to continue with their regular Lash Shampoo cleansing routine. Just remind them to be a bit more gentle and cautious when cleaning around the glitter. Since the entire lash isn't covered in glitter, there's enough space for your client to clean between the lashes without the need for heavy scrubbing. It's important to demonstrate the correct technique to your client to ensure proper care.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I make my own lashes at home?

While individuals can assemble temporary strip lashes or DIY cluster lashes at home using consumer cosmetics, professional eyelash extensions (including custom glitter sets) should always be crafted and applied by a qualified lash technician. Professional-grade adhesives and isolation techniques require specialist training to ensure natural lash health and eye safety.

How to create your own glitter?

To prepare custom glitter for lash extensions, select fine, cosmetic-grade (and ideally biodegradable) loose glitter. Place a small amount into a clean glass dish, dip the tips of pre-made lash fans or single spikes into a clear lash adhesive (such as Crystal Bond), gently tap the extension into the glitter dish, and shake off any excess particles before drying.

How to make homemade fake lashes?

Customising fake or extension lashes at home is typically done by adding cosmetic glitter, color pigments, or trimming individual lash strips to fit eye shapes. For professional sets, lash techs create custom fans by pairing synthetic PBT extensions with specialised adhesives and cosmetic glitter rather than manufacturing raw lash fibers from scratch.

How can I create my own lash brand?

Launching a private-label lash brand involves researching cosmetic regulations, sourcing high-quality synthetic PBT lashes and adhesives from verified manufacturers, creating custom branding and compliant packaging, testing products for safety and quality, and marketing your range to fellow lash artists and clients through social media and an e-commerce platform.
