Learn how to apply Wispies lashes from the Deluxe Pack, then clean and store them for multiple wears with simple care steps.

Quick answer

Apply Deluxe Pack Wispies by trimming the strip to your eye width, adding a thin line of DUO adhesive, waiting for it to turn tacky, then pressing the band along your natural lash line. To reuse them, peel off leftover glue, clean the band with a cotton swab, and store the pair in a dry case.

Why the Deluxe Pack makes a good practice set

The Deluxe Pack Wispies includes two pairs of Ardell signature Wispies, DUO adhesive, and a soft-touch applicator. That means you can practice the first application on one pair and keep the second as a backup or for a future wear. The included applicator helps position the lash without touching the adhesive directly with your fingers.

Because the pack contains two pairs, you can afford to make a mistake on your first try without losing your entire set. This is especially useful if you are new to strip lashes or still learning how to apply Wispies lashes evenly.

When to skip reuse and start fresh

Reusable Wispies lashes can last multiple wears if you care for them, but not every pair is a candidate for reuse. If the band is cracked, the hairs are matted with old adhesive, or the lash shape has warped, replace them with a fresh pair from your Deluxe Pack. Trying to revive a damaged lash usually leads to uneven placement and a shorter wear time.

Also skip reuse if you wore the lashes during an eye infection or noticed irritation. In that case, discard the pair and use a new set after your eyes have fully recovered.

Step-by-step: apply, remove, and reuse your Wispies

Trim the strip to your eye width: Hold the lash against your closed eyelid to check the length. If the strip extends past the outer corner, trim small sections from the outer end with clean scissors. Common mistake: cutting too much at once. Trim a little, then recheck the fit before cutting more. Always trim from the outer edge, never the inner corner, to keep the lash looking natural.
Apply a thin line of DUO adhesive: Squeeze a very thin line of DUO adhesive along the lash band. Wait 20–30 seconds until the glue becomes tacky, not wet. Common mistake: applying the lash while the glue is still shiny and wet, which causes sliding and poor adhesion. If the glue looks white and stringy, it is too dry; add a tiny bit more and wait again.
Place the lash with the applicator: Use the included soft-touch applicator to hold the lash at the center. Look down into a mirror and press the band onto your natural lash line, starting at the center and working outward. Common mistake: placing the lash too high above the natural lashes, which creates a visible gap. The band should sit right at the base of your natural lashes, not on the eyelid.
Press and blend: Gently press the band along its full length with clean fingers or the applicator. Then squeeze your natural lashes and the false lashes together to blend them. Common mistake: pressing only the ends, which leaves the center loose and causes lifting. Check the inner corner especially; it is the most common spot for lifting.
Remove gently from the outer corner: To remove, hold the outer corner of the lash and slowly peel inward. Never pull the lash straight off. Common mistake: yanking the strip, which can damage the band and tug your natural lashes. If the lash resists, dab a little oil-free makeup remover along the band to loosen the glue.
Peel off old adhesive: Use your fingers or tweezers to gently peel away any dried glue from the band. Work slowly from the ends toward the center. Common mistake: pulling too hard and tearing the lash band. A pair with a cracked or stretched band is no longer a good candidate for reuse.
Clean the band with a cotton swab: Dip a cotton swab in alcohol or an oil-free remover and gently wipe along the band to remove residue. Avoid soaking the lashes in water. Common mistake: using oil-based products, which can break down the adhesive and damage the lash fibers. Let the lashes air-dry completely before storing them.
