What is the purpose of using a primer before an eyelash extension application?

Using a primer before an eyelash extension application serves a crucial purpose in preparing the natural lashes for optimal adhesion of the extensions. Primers are specifically formulated to cleanse any oils, dirt, or residues from the natural lashes, which can hinder the bonding process of the adhesive. By removing these impurities, the primer creates a clean surface that allows the adhesive to bond more effectively to the natural lash, leading to a longer-lasting and more secure application.

The enhanced adhesive bonding achieved through the use of a primer is essential for ensuring that the eyelash extensions maintain their position and do not fall off prematurely. This preparatory step ultimately contributes to the overall success of the lash application, improving the durability and appearance of the finished look.
