As a trainer for lash extensions, one of the main things I see new students struggle with is eye protection. When students sign up for classes, they know they are going to learn the art of lashing. Part of this art is being able to see very tiny lashes. Many clients have blonde or even white or gray lashes, and as they age, their lashes become shorter and thinner. These lashes are more difficult to see with just normal vision.
It’s very challenging to see every single lash available for an extension without some sort of magnification.
As a student moves through the practice exercises, I will introduce them to magnification. Most younger students will balk at using magnification. They have great vision, and think they have no reason to use magnification.

Is there a specific magnification that works best? I bought 6x and it seems fine to me, but just wondering if that is too much for the eyes and if I should go lower.
Hello Lisa,
Glad Lash has a very nice sensitive glue. Just remember if your client is reactive, they may not be able to tolerate any lash glue. I always recommend doing a patch test before any application. We are looking out for our clients eye health and do not want to cause any allergic reactions.
Good luck!
Curious to know what kind of sensitive glue do you like for clients that have reactions to To the normal close
Hi Cat,
I’m getting back to you on behalf of Maryann. If 6X magnification looks good to you and you can see well then that’s fine. There is no “one size fits all” since everyone’s eye condition and needs are different. Go with what’s comfortable and helps you see the best.
Hope this was helpful!
