Lash Dictionary

Every Lashify® word in plain English, from your first Control Kit to your monthly Lash Edit box.

The lashes

Gossamer® lash: Lashify's patented multi-cluster lash. Gossamer® lashes are applied in small segments beneath your natural lashes for a seamless, natural-looking finish, and are gentle on your natural lashes when applied and removed as directed.
Cluster: One tiny individual lash: a knotted bundle of fibers glued on one by one.
Multi-cluster lash: Many clusters joined on one delicate spine, so you apply a whole section at once. The Gossamer® is the original multi-cluster DIY lash extension, invented by Lashify.
Spine: The fine band at the base of a Gossamer® that holds the fibers. You coat it with bond and place it under your natural lashes.
Cartridge: The case your Gossamer® lashes come in. Crack the cartridge fully open before lifting a lash out, so none break.
Core styles: Amplify, Bold, Curl and Drama: Lashify's most natural styles, in the most colors.
Plus+: Feather-light, barely-there Gossamer® lashes in soft, hair-matching colors, including Ash for blonde, strawberry blonde and red hair.
GripTex™: A fiber technology on styles like Velvet, Rogue and Extreme² for an easier hold.
Eyeliner Effect™: Lashes that create an eyeliner look along the lash line for an instant cat-eye, like I-Line™ and Edge by Isamaya.
Pre-mapped: Gossamer® sets with the lengths decided for you, ready to wear.

Lash mapping: Placing different lengths across your eye. Longer at the outer corner creates a winged look; longest in the center opens up the eye. See Lash Mapping 101.
Lid real estate: The space between your lashes and your brow bone. Measure from your pupil to the highest point of your brow: less than 1 inch suits about 8–10mm, about 1 inch suits 12–14mm, and more than 1.5 inches suits 16mm and up.
Main length: Your starting length, from your lid real estate. Every map is built around it.
Natural flutter map: A shorter length at the inner corner, then your main length across the rest of the eye. Soft and natural, the easiest map to start with.
Open-eye map: Your longest length in the center of the eye, over your pupil, for a rounder, wide-awake look.
Winged map: Shortest at the inner corner, building to your longest length at the outer corner, for a lifted, elongated cat-eye.

Control Kit: The award-winning kit that made DIY lash extensions possible: the patented Fuse Control™ Wand, bond, sealer and your first Gossamer® lashes. A one-time purchase; after that you only restock the lashes you love.
Fuse Control™ Wand: The patented Lashify® wand that places and fuses Gossamer® lashes under your natural lashes.
Classic and Petit wand: The two wand sizes. Petit fits closer to smaller lids, hooded eyes and monolids (lid real estate under 1 inch); Classic suits most eye shapes.
Wandom™: Wand tips for a cushiony, tack-free application.
Whisper Light™ Bond: Lashify's dual-sided bond, in clear and black formulas. Lashify bonds contain biotin.
Frosting Method: Applying a thin, even coat of bond to the Gossamer® spine. With Whisper Light™ and the Frosting Method, your lashes are designed to wear for up to 2 weeks.
Sealer: The final step that seals your look, like Water Poof™.
Pre-Cleanse: Cleansing water for lash prep: clean lashes before you apply.
Melt Away: A dual-phase eye makeup and bond remover for gentle lash removal.
