The instruction for attaching prosthetics

How to attach prosthetics (like noses, scars, horns, ears...):
Try first the prosthetic without adhesive, form it by clipping if you want so. Spread adhesive on your skin and on the prosthetic. Attach the prosthetic on your body (for example neck or face) and press it until it sticks. Let it dry. You can smooth the edges with scar and nose putty or with adhesive. Apply make-up as you wish.
Removal: pull it carefully with a help of face cream or cotton bud, soaked into alcohol. Wipe the rest of adhesive off your face with alcohol.
Sensitivity test: make it always before using. And if the prosthetic or adhesive causes any reaction in the skin, the using has to be stopped immediately.

 

The instruction for applying eyelashes

Individual eyelashes:
Put a small drop of lash adhesive for example on a tin foil. Let it oxidize (follow the instructions of the adhesive). Dip the knob of the lash in the adhesive and place the lash among your own lashes to their roots. Wait few seconds, so that the lash sticks to your own lashes. Here, when the lash hasn't attached yet, you can gently with your fingertips change the direction of the lash. Let it dry (follow the instructions of the adhesive).

Strip eyelashes:
Take a lash out of the package and try it first without adhesive. You can clip the strip with scissors if it's too long or you can bend it in your hands so it fits better on your eyelid. Apply a thin strip of lash adhesive onto the lash. Let the adhesive oxidize (see the instruction of the adhesive). Then put the lash on the base of your eyelashes, as close to the roots as possible, first the inner corner. Make sure that especially in inner and outer corners the lashes are well attached. If the lash moves or if it don't fit tightly, you have been waited too short time and the adhesive hasn't oxidized properly or the lash has too little adhesive. Remove the lash and start again. Let the adhesive dry without hurry, avoid blinking the eyes during the drying period.

The difference between adhesives:
The normal adhesive ("milk glue") can be removed with make-up removers. If you use the normal adhesive: the make-up first and the lashes last.
The permalash adhesive can be removed with baby oil or eyelash adhesive removers. If you use the permalash adhesive: the lashes first onto a clean skin and the make-up last.

Removal:
If you have used the normal adhesive: remove the lashes by pulling gently from the outer corner to the direction of the inner corner.
If you have used the permalash adhesive: do not pull; see the instructions of the adhesive.
Clean the adhesive off your skin with make-up remover and from the lashes by picking. Put the lashes back in their box for reusing.

Never rub your eyes when using eyelashes.
Avoid fire and direct heat; like you own eyelashes, these can also burn.
