When applying eyelash extensions, what is the most important safety practice regarding the cyanoacrylate-based adhesive?
a.Apply adhesive directly onto the eyelid skin
b.Place adhesive only on the artificial lash and isolate the natural lash so the bond never touches the lid
c.Use as much adhesive as possible to ensure retention
d.Skip the under-eye gel pad to save time
Explanation
Cyanoacrylate adhesive is for lash-to-lash bonding only. The technician must isolate each natural lash and apply adhesive to the extension so the bond sits a tiny distance from the lid. Contact with the lid causes burning, swelling, allergic reactions, and potential corneal injury.
