1. Cleanse the client's lashes thoroughly with lash shampoo and remove all shampoo residue.
2. Dry the natural lashes completely before applying primer.
3. Dispense a small amount of Prime It Up! onto a clean micro swab.
4. Place a second micro swab underneath the natural lashes.
5. Gently sandwich the lashes between the two swabs, coating the natural lash surface without oversaturating.
6. Allow the lashes to dry before beginning extension application.
7. Continue with your normal isolation, adhesive, and placement technique.

• Skipping lash shampoo → Primer should not replace proper cleansing. Fix: Shampoo first, then use Prime It Up! as the preparation step.
• Applying too much primer → Oversaturated lashes may remain wet. Fix: Use a small amount and coat the lashes lightly.
• Applying only to the lash tips → Adhesive bonds closer to the base. Fix: Focus on the natural lash areas where extensions will attach.
• Starting before lashes are dry → Excess moisture can interfere with adhesive behavior. Fix: Allow the lashes to dry completely before application.
• Assuming primer fixes every retention problem → Retention also depends on adhesive, environment, placement, and aftercare. Fix: Treat primer as one part of the complete retention system.

Why do some clients still need primer even after using lash shampoo?

Lash shampoo removes general makeup, debris, and surface buildup, but some clients naturally produce more oil or may have persistent residue around the natural lashes. Prime It Up! provides a targeted preparation step at the bonding area before adhesive application.

Should I use Prime It Up! on every client?

Not necessarily. Artists can assess the client's natural lashes, oil production, previous retention history, and adhesive system to decide when primer provides the most benefit rather than applying the same prep routine automatically to everyone.

Can too much primer negatively affect adhesive performance?

Yes. Oversaturating the natural lashes can leave unnecessary moisture on the bonding surface and change how the adhesive behaves. Use a controlled amount and make sure the lashes are dry before beginning application.

Can I use Prime It Up! with every Curacoro lash adhesive?

Prime It Up! can be used with Curacoro lash adhesives except Dark Matter. When changing adhesive systems, always follow the preparation recommendations for the specific adhesive being used.

When should I choose the Vitamin C version instead of the Normal formula?

Choose Normal when the main priority is straightforward cleansing and adhesive preparation. The Vitamin C version is better suited when you want to add antioxidant-focused care to the prep step while maintaining the same general bonding-support role.
