What kind of tape do you use for eyelash extensions? How do you keep bottom lashes down?

Foam tape is the most COST-EFFECTIVE eyepatch solution loved by thousands of lash technicians all around the world. It's cheaper than the CHEAPEST eye pads for eyelash extensions! 5 meters of microfoam tape will allow you to create:

• 80 lash sets  (£0.08/$0.10/€0.10 per set!)  from the 2.5cm wide tape roll
• 160 lash sets ( £0.08/$0.10/€0.10 per set!) from the 5cm wide tape roll

Why use foam tape for eyelash extensions?

You can use the foam tape for ANY client; however, it’s an absolute “must-have” for those clients who:

• Are allergic to the gel of eye patches.
• Have oily skin (foam tap has excellent “staying in one place” ability).
• Have bulbous eyes OR struggle to keep their eyes tightly closed during treatment - the thicker foam helps to keep the fumes away from the eyes.

• Like to talk during the treatment and, as a result, their eyes are constantly shaking. 
  Have sensitive, watery eyes
