How to Use

Welcome to your step-by-step guide for mastering Navo Lashes. These lashes are designed to enhance your natural beauty with ease.

It’s important to follow the instructions closely, as even small variations can affect your results. There’s a bit of a learning curve at first, but once it clicks, application becomes quick and easy.

For best results, make sure you’re applying in a well-lit space where you can clearly see your upper waterline (where your lash roots grow). A mirror you can get close to — or a magnifying mirror — can make a big difference.

Make sure your eyes are clean and fully dry before you begin. If your eyes are watery, the adhesive won’t be able to form a proper seal.

Step 1: Peel the Lash Cluster

Tip: Always grip the lash cluster at the base (just above the glue line) when removing from the tray — not the lash hairs themselves. The fibers are delicate, which is what gives them that soft, natural look.

  1. Grab your lash tweezers for precise control.
  2. Push the back of the lash cluster (under the glue strip) with the tweezers to gently loosen it from the tray.
  3. Carefully grip and clip the cluster at the base, just above the glue line, and peel it away.
  4. Clip gently — you may end up clipping some of the glue, and that’s okay, just be sure not to press too hard.
  5. Lift the cluster smoothly to protect the delicate fibers and avoid pulling them apart.

Step 2: Reposition the Lash on the Tray

Tip: If the glue is stuck, gently wiggle the lash to release it — some sticking is normal, and our non-stick tweezers help minimize this.

  1. Using your fingers, gently remove the lash cluster from the tweezers.
  2. If some glue sticks to the tweezers, don’t worry — carefully pull the lash away, it’s still good to use.
  3. Reposition the cluster by gripping it again with the tweezers along the curve of the lash.
  4. Ensure the lash cluster is facing upright.

Step 3: Curl Your Lashes & Apply Makeup (Optional)

Tip: If you plan on applying eye makeup, such as eyeliner, it’s easier to apply it before placing the lash clusters.

  1. Choose a lash curler that fits your eye shape and feels comfortable to use.
  2. Place the curler at the base of your natural lashes and gently curl them.
  3. Curling helps lift your lashes so they stay out of the way during application.
  4. If you have lighter colored lashes, apply a light coat of mascara to help them blend with the lash clusters.

Step 4: Align and Place the Lash on the Eye

Tip: Make sure your eyes are clean, fully dry, and free of oil — the adhesive cannot bond properly if the area is wet or oily.

  1. Hold the lash cluster close to your eye using your tweezers.
  2. Start from the outer corner and work inward, leaving a 2–3 mm gap at both the outer and inner corners, as placing too close can feel uncomfortable.
  3. Align the glue strip along your upper waterline, where your natural lash roots grow (on the skin, not the lash hairs).
  4. Gently place the cluster underneath your natural lashes so it sits flush along the base.
  5. Make small micro-adjustments — slightly in, out, or angled — until the cluster feels comfortable and sits smoothly in line with your natural lash shape.
  6. Ensure the clusters are aligned evenly along the lash line and not placed at uneven angles or sticking out.

Recommended Lash Placement

Place the adhesive strip along your upper waterline, where your natural lash roots grow.

Make sure the adhesive sticks to the skin, not the lash hairs.

Follow the green line for placement, and avoid placing too close to the inner or outer corners for comfort.

Step 5: Continuing Applying Lash Clusters

  1. Continue applying clusters, working from the outer corner toward the inner corner.
  2. Keep the base of each cluster aligned in a smooth, even line along your lash line.
  3. Maintain a small gap at the inner corner for comfort and the best fit.

Step 6: Press the Lashes

This step is vital to ensure your lashes stay in place throughout the day!

  1. Grab your lash tweezers.
  2. After placing each cluster, gently clamp it together with your natural lashes at the base.
  3. Once all clusters are placed, do a final clamp along the lash line to secure everything evenly.
  4. Clamping helps press the adhesive onto the skin and keeps the clusters sitting flush and aligned with your natural lashes.
  5. If the glue sticks slightly to the tweezers, that’s normal — just release gently and continue.

Lash Maps

Every eye is unique, so the right lash length may vary. We suggest starting with 11 mm, as it suits most eyes. Here's a quick guide to popular lash maps:

Cat Eye: Short to long (e.g., 10, 11, 11, 12 mm) – great for elongating the eyes.

Squirrel: Similar to Cat Eye but with a shorter outer lash (e.g., 10, 11, 12, 11 mm) – perfect for downturned eyes.

Dolly: Longest in the center (e.g., 10, 11, 12, 11, 10 mm) – ideal for a wide-eyed look.

Most eyes need 3-6 clusters. Test different maps to find your perfect fit!

Step 7: Check Lash Fit

  1. If anything feels uncomfortable, gently lift your eyelid to check if a cluster is misaligned or placed too far in.
  2. The clusters should sit flush and feel comfortable — too far out from the waterline they won’t hold well, and too far in can feel pokey.
  3. Make small micro adjustments in or out until the placement feels natural and secure.
  4. Since every eye shape is different, it may take a few tries to find your perfect placement.
  5. Once everything feels good, go ahead and enjoy your lashes!

Step 8: Remove & Care for Your Lashes

  1. Use your fingers to gently grip the base of the lash cluster.
  2. Lift slightly from underneath the cluster, then peel it off gently.
  3. Removal should feel smooth and not painful, and the glue should come off with the lash without pulling your natural lashes.
  4. You don’t need to clean the lashes after every use — most people can wear them a few times before cleaning. If you wear heavier makeup or notice buildup, you may want to clean them more often.
  5. To clean, soak the lashes in water with a small amount of mild soap for a few minutes.
  6. Rinse by dipping them into clean water to remove any soap residue.
  7. Use a Q-tip to gently clean along the curve of the lash if needed.
  8. Let them dry, then place them back in the tray — exact placement doesn’t need to be perfect.

Lash Storage Tip

Try placing the clusters upside down (curve facing down).

It’s an optional trick that helps used clusters stay in place and organized in the box!

Step 9: Removing the Glue Band from the Lash (Optional)

This step is for when the glue starts to lose tackiness or collect buildup.

  1. The original glue can typically be reused 1–3 times before replacing.
  2. Hold the lash cluster by the hairs with one hand.
  3. Using your thumb and index finger on the other hand, gently slide or swipe the glue strip off the base of the lash.
  4. Remove slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the lash.
  5. Wipe the removed glue onto a tissue and discard.

Step 10: Replacing the Glue on the Lash (Optional)

Navo Lashes Clear Lash Cluster Stickies are required for this step.

  1. Hold the lash clusters by the hairs with curve facing downwards over the Clear Lash Cluster Stickies sheet.
  2. Start from the top edge of the sheet to avoid the lash hairs touching the glue lines.
  3. Gently position the base of the lash over a glue strip.
  4. Slide the lash cluster along the glue strip from top to bottom (instead of pressing straight down).
  5. Flip the clear sheet over the glue strips and press gently to secure the adhesive to the lash base.
  6. Lift the lash cluster off — the glue strip should come attached with it.
  7. Make sure the glue strip lies flat along the base of the lash, not sticking out at an angle.
