Why the Right Under Eye Pads Can Make or Break Your Lash Set

4 minute read

If you had to choose one item besides lash extensions and glue… what would it be? For most lash artists (and us too!), the answer is easy: under eye pads

They’re one of the most essential lash tools in any lash artist’s kit—and it’s no surprise they’re our #1 best-selling lash accessory here at Lash Jungle. But how much do you really know about them? Did you know that something as small as eye pads can totally shape your client’s experience? 

Let’s break it all down and go through everything you need to know about under eye pads for lash extensions.

What Are Under Eye Pads Used For During Lash Extensions?

Under eye pads are applied before you begin lashing to separate the bottom lashes from the top ones. This helps make sure you don’t accidentally glue any lower lashes to the extensions—no one wants that! 

But they also serve a few other purposes: 

  • They give your client a more comfortable and relaxing experience 
  • They help create a cleaner workspace 
  • Some even offer skincare benefits (win-win!) 

Why Choosing the Right Eye Pads Matters 

Not all eye pads are created equal. Some can shift around, irritate the skin, or even leave lint on your lash tweezers (so annoying, right?). A good set of eye pads makes your job easier—and keeps your client comfy from start to finish.

Here’s what to look for: 

  • Lint-free material that won’t mess with your lash tweezers
  • A gentle, soothing formula for the under-eye area 
  • Flexible shape that fits all kinds of eye shapes 
  • Strong hold that stays put during the whole treatment
