Why Accessories Matter When Applying Lash Clusters
Let’s be honest: DIY lash clusters can either make you feel like a lash goddess or have you questioning your life choices. The difference? The tools you’re using. If you’ve ever struggled with placement, bonding, or retention, it’s not you. It’s your toolkit. At TAD Beauty, we don’t just give you the world’s first 3d lashes, we give you the tech, tools, and pro-level support to actually enjoy the process.
Because beauty should feel empowering, not frustrating.
Whether you're a lash newbie or a seasoned DIY queen, we’re going to walk you through the top accessories that will level up your lash game and have your clusters lasting longer, looking better, and make you the expert when it comes to how to apply cluster lashes.
The Top Tools for Easier Lash Cluster Application
1. TAD Clean Touch Tweezer
Your tweezers aren’t just for plucking brows anymore. In fact, they’re the MVP of lash cluster application.
Why It Matters:
Our Clean Touch Tweezer is designed with precision and ergonomics in mind. It has a soft grip, angled tips, and anti-stick coating so you can pick up each 3D-printed cluster without bending or damaging the fibers.
Bonus: You can also use it to press the lash cluster against your natural lashes before sealing.

2. TAD Precision Press
Tired of lifting or pokey lash segments? This tool changes everything.
What It Does:
This silicone-padded tool merges your natural lashes and TAD segments seamlessly. It may look like a lash curler, but it’s actually designed to help ensure better adhesion across the lash line.
Pro Tip: Wait 3 minutes after applying your clusters to use the Precision Press for best results.

3. Brilliant Bond Adhesive
Let’s talk glue, the unsung hero (or villain) of DIY lash application.
What Makes It Special:
TAD’s Brilliant Bond is a dual-ended adhesive designed for extended wear. The white “For YOU” side is applied to your natural lashes, while the black “For TAD” side coats the lash segments. This double-layer approach increases retention and gives you 7–10 days of strong hold.
Lash clusters + best adhesive = DIY lash success.

4. TAD Prep Pads
Good lashes start with a clean base. Period.
Why It’s Essential:
Our Prep Pads are formulated to remove oil and residue from your natural lashes, improving glue grip and retention. One pad per eye is all it takes for a clean, primed lash line ready for cluster application.
Hot Tip: Skip mascara or oil-based products before applying your lashes. Use the Prep Pad for a fresh canvas.

5. Pristine Seal
You wouldn't leave your nails unsealed, so why your lashes?
Why It Works:
Pristine Seal cures your bond, adds a waterproof barrier, and eliminates stickiness. Plus, it reduces dust, lint, and dirt from sticking to the base of your lashes.
Application Tip: Wait 2 minutes after application before sealing. We love to apply Sealant directly into our tweezers, and clamp along the lashes to ensure sealant application!

6. Pure Lash Cleanser
Yes, you should be washing your lash clusters.
The Reality:
Dirty lashes lead to poor retention and eye irritation. Our Pure Cleanser is gentle, ophthalmologist-tested, and made in an FDA-registered facility in Texas. It’s safe for daily use and helps maintain lash health and bond strength.
Daily care extends the life of your DIY lash extensions. Learn how to clean lash clusters to ensure they last up to 10 days.

Don’t yank your clusters off. Just don’t.
What It Does:
Our lash-safe remover melts off adhesive without damage. Apply with a Q-tip, wait 30 seconds, and gently swipe away the clusters. Follow up with our cleanser to complete the process.
For Safe Removal: Always use a lash cluster remover to prevent natural lash breakage.

Tips for Easier Lash Cluster Application
Even with the right tools, a few extra pro tips never hurt.
Use One Eye at a Time
Doing both eyes simultaneously is a rookie mistake. Focus on one eye to avoid glue drying too fast.
Don’t Overuse Adhesive
A little goes a long way. Too much glue causes clumping and stiffness.
Stay 1-2 mm Away From the Waterline
Proper placement improves comfort and prevents poking or irritation.
Crimp Once, Gently
You only need light pressure with the Clean Touch Tweezer or Precision Press. Don’t overdo it.
