Hi Friends! Last fall I tried the Kiss Falscara DIY at home lash extension kit and shared a first impression video and review post. Now that I’ve used them way more, I have figured out the best way to wear them and wanted to share an updated post and video. I’m sharing my tips and tricks on applying the lashes, plus how to get them to stay on for up to TEN DAYS!
Keep in mind, this is my personal opinion and experience with this lash kit, and what works for me may not work for you.
About Falscara & How-To Apply:
Kiss Falscara Lashes are very similar to Lashify, which I’ve shared in the past, but also different. The kit comes with a set of lashes cut into 5 parts, Falscara Eyelash Bond & Seal, and Falscara Eyelash Applicator. They also recommend the Falscara Lash Remover, but I do not recommend getting that. More on that below. Another item that is newer is the Overnighter Lash Sealer. I personally have not used this yet.
This kit doesn’t give you much as far as instructions go, but I know they recommend applying them with a clean face and lashes, however I’ve applied them after makeup before (with no mascara on my top lashes) and it works just fine. The lashes are applied UNDER your natural lashes. Apply the Bond to prime & prep the lashes, starting at the base where the lash meets your eyelid and bringing it towards the end of your lashes, but not all the way to the end. If you apply too much, it can get messy easily. Once the Bond is applied, I take each wisp chunk (starting from the outermost wisp in the package) and apply it starting at the outer corner of the eye and working my way in. If using the Falscara applicator tool, you will want to wipe off the tool between each application to avoid causing issues later. Watch the tutorial video for a more in depth look at applying them. After the lashes are applied, the Seal removes residue and locks your Wisps in place. The Seal has recently been reformulated and works much better than the first kit.
The Falscara kit is $19.99. It typically only comes with the lengthening or volumizing lashes and then you can purchase any additional lash sets separately.
My personal favorite lash set is the LIFTING WISPS, which I’ve only found on Amazon as of lately. I get them in the 3 or 6 packs. These came out after I originally tried the kit, and are by far the best for my lashes.
Tips for Applying the Lashes:
- Don’t use too much Bond or it gets messy quickly.
- Start from the outside and work your way in (both with the packaging and on the eyes)
- The lashes have a little drop of adhesive holding the wisps onto the packaging and they are very fragile and could tear if you’re not careful picking up the lash from the holder. Be sure to grab the entire lash wisp when pulling off of the package.
- Wipe off the applicator between each wisp application to avoid any mess. I personally use the Lashify applicator and it works wonders.
- When applying the wisps, the band should not touch your waterline and should be just above on your natural lashes.
- You may not use all of the wisps on your eyes, depending on the size of your lash line.
- Falscara lash wisps come with different lengths of lash wisps for your entire eye, but sometimes I’ve noticed that one side is a little more curled than the other, causing them to look different on my eyes. You can use a lash curler GENTLY on the lashes once they’re applied and the bond has dried – this will give your lashes a nice lift and could correct any issues with lashes curling differently.
Tips on Keeping the Lashes on Longer:
- For the first few hours, do not squeeze your eyes shut. The Bond is still setting and you could transfer some to your bottom lashes, causing them to stick together.
- Avoid getting your lashes too wet while wearing. This means while washing your face, work around the lashes as much as possible. Same with showering, do not put a direct stream of water on them or it will loosen the adhesive.
- Avoid sleeping on your face if at all possible. It could cause them to come off.
- If using the Falscara Lash Applicator, wipe off the applicator between wisp applications.
- You shouldn’t reuse the lashes, but if any lash wisps come off, you can still reapply them if it is within the first few days, otherwise you can also use any extras from a multipack.
Tips on Removing the Lashes:
- Once you are ready to remove, I remove them from the lash line and pull. See the video for more details. I’m sure there is another way but this way works best for me and doesn’t damage my lashes.
- The Falscara remover does not fully remove the glue residue. I suggest using a cleansing balm on the lashes and then following up with an eye makeup remover. That’s what has worked best for me.
Overall Thoughts?
Now that I’ve tried these a ton, I feel like I have a good grasp on how to do them and how to keep them on the longest. It definitely takes practice and each time I feel like I learn something new. I’m very impressed with these, especially with the price and I’m so glad they’ve tweaked a few things since they originally launched.
Now, again, I want to note that what works for me may not work for you. I have had issues with lashes my entire life- with extensions not staying on, strips and glues irritating my eyes, etc. So definitely try what you think is best! This post is my opinion based on my personal experience!
I hope you found this post helpful! Let me know if you end up trying them or have found any tips helpful! Share it with your friends too! Thanks for reaching/watching and have a great rest of your weekend!
Molly says
did you find that the bonder was really hard to get off after you’ve taken the wispies off? my lashes are like 5 big spikes and not even their remover gets the bonder off. I have to wait a day or 2 before applying then again… maybe I’m not usually enough sealer!? no idea.. otherwise I LOVE them!
Kelsie Kristine says
Hi Molly, I did have that issue a few times. I would suggest the cleansing balm to remove. The KISS remover did not work well for me at all! I use the Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm first and then follow it with an oil free eye makeup remover. I linked them under the “Tips for Removing the Lashes” section in the post! Hope that helps!
Megan says
I hope I did not over step by posting about the baby oil. I apologize if I did. Just was trying to help. Your lashes look amazing btw I wish mine would have came out like yours. I need to practice lol.
Megan says
Baby oil takes them right off, glue and all without any residue. I had to use it twice but it was my first time trying to apply them so I made a bit of a mess lol.
Kelsie Kristine says
Hi Megan, that is a great idea! I haven’t tried that yet!!
Pricebye says
Eyelashes look really amazing!
Kelsie Kristine says
Thank you so much!
Paula Stump says
Do you know if there are any lash extensions or hopefully wisps available for lower lashes?
Kelsie Kristine says
Hey, hmm not that I know of, but you could probably try some smaller ones on the bottom and see if it works!
Jessica says
How long do you keep them on for?
Kelsie Kristine says
I keep them on as long as I can- I’ve kept them on for a couple weeks before! 😉
Sara says
When keeping them on this long, do you clean them directly like typical extensions? Leave them alone? I can’t find anything suggesting cleaning for DIY lashes
Kelsie Kristine says
In my experience, getting them fully wet makes them come off easily, but as long as you’re gentle with them and clean around the base with a qtip that helps!!
Toni says
Hi! Do you find a white residue after application? Once mine dry I can’t seem to avoid it even with the new clear bond. I’m wondering if I’m using too much seal?
Kelsie Kristine says
Hey! hmm I would avoid using the seal! I don’t use it and mine stay on just fine.
Valarie says
Tips about the white residue?
Kelsie Kristine says
Hey! I would avoid using the seal – it seems to be the issue for the white residue.
Elise Cox says
Hi there! My natural eyelashes keep sticking together and I just can’t seem to get this to work for me! I’m a pro at lash strips with glue and after hearing so much about this system, I was looking forward to this working! I’m Asian so idk if it’s just my eyelids or what? Help!
Kelsie Kristine says
Hi! It could be that the bond is getting on your bottom lashes- I get that every once in a while, so try to avoid putting too much bond on, and try not to let your bottom lashes touch the top for as long as you can while the bond kind of dries a bit. Hope that helps! XO
Tegan says
I just tried these for the first time and accidentally found my normal makeup removing wipes remove the glue/overnighter very easily (second day) what do you use to remove your makeup to not harm your lashes?
Kelsie Kristine says
Hi, I use an oil free makeup remover – usually the lancome one! 🙂
Lucy says
I’ve just tried applying the kit used the bond then applied the wisps and all good. But then going on with the seal I found it was removing the wisps!!!!!! So really disappointed and haven’t a clue what I’m doing wrong. The wisps felt very secure till I started doing the last step!
Kelsie Kristine says
Hi, I personally do not like the seal so I don’t use it! Try it without and see if that helps! XO
Beth says
Anyone else have an issue with the bond staying tacky? Every time I’ve done mine, that bond stays tacky the entire day! Am I using too much?
Kelsie Kristine says
Hi there, I would definitely try less- I know what you mean tho – less is more IMO so give that a try and see if it helps! XO
Denise says
Did you use the overnighter, or did they stay for 10 days with just the bond and seal? I hope mine come out as well shouts, thank you for the review and tips!
Denise says
Sorry for the typo! I hope mine come out as well as yours is what I meant to say 😉
Kelsie Kristine says
Hey, I don’t use the overnighter – never needed it since they stayed on so well!
sentra says
Hi how do you keep your lashes clean without them falling out?
Kelsie Kristine says
I have them as clean as possible when I apply and then gently use a damp qtip as needed to clean up the base of them.
