@lashesbyportia: Here’s why I don’t use balm when lifting lashes onto the rod 🤍 When the lashes lift up effortlessly, that’s your sign that step one is fully processed. If any are bouncing back, they just need a little more time , I go back in on the roots with step one for 30–60 seconds and that usually does it. Using balm at this stage can hide that read. It can mask whether the lashes are actually ready, giving you a false indication. Nothing wrong with it, this is just what works for me🫶🏼 #koreanlashlift
