How to Choose the Right Eye Pads for Your Clients

The best under eye pads depend on your client’s skin type, eye shape, and lash mapping technique. Here’s how to find the perfect match:

• Sensitive skin? Choose hypoallergenic, latex-free pads like KentDO.
• Long appointments? Look for breathable, no-slip adhesive (not just gel).
• Clients with deep-set eyes? Use thinner pads that flex into the lower orbital area.
• Lash extensions underneath? Go for ultra-thin pads to avoid interference with lower lash line visibility.

3. Peel pad and apply gently, about 1mm from the waterline.
4. Ensure all lower lashes are covered; adjust if needed.
