The essential pre-treatment step before any lash set — removes natural oils, residue, and traces of makeup from the natural lash surface, creating a clean, pH-balanced base that allows lash adhesive to bond more effectively. Used consistently, primer improves lash retention by 30–50%.

FAQ

What is the difference between primer and bonder?

Primer is applied before adhesive (Step 2) to remove residual oils and optimize the bond surface. Bonder is applied after all extensions are placed (Step 4) to instantly cure and seal the adhesive. They serve different functions — use both for best results.

How long should I wait after applying primer?

Allow primer to dry completely for 30–60 seconds before applying adhesive. Applying adhesive to wet primer can interfere with the bond. You'll know it's ready when the lashes look dry and slightly matte.

Do I need primer if I already cleanse with lash shampoo?

Yes — Lash Shampoo removes surface debris and makeup, but primer removes the residual oils and protein that shampoo leaves behind, and balances the pH of the lash surface for optimal adhesive bonding. Both steps together give the best retention results.

Is primer compatible with all lash glues?

Yes — primer is compatible with all cyanoacrylate-based lash adhesives including 0.3s, 0.5s, 1s, and 2s formulas.
