How it works
Four steps. Thirty seconds.
You only need clean skin and half a minute. Here's the whole method, including the step almost everyone rushes.
Step by step
Getting the hold right
Four things decide whether a hold lasts all night or gives up in an hour.
-
01
Start clean and dry
Skip lotion and oil on the area \u2014 adhesive needs bare skin to grip.
-
02
Apply a thin line
Less is more. A thick blob stays wet in the middle and slides.
-
03
Wait until tacky
Give it 30 seconds. This is the step people skip, and it decides everything.
-
04
Press firmly, then leave it
Five full seconds. Don't peel it back to check.
Pro tips
Small things that make a difference
Don't rush the 30 seconds
Pressing while it's still wet is the most common reason a hold fails.
Two thin lines beat one thick one
For a deep neckline, run a short line on each inner edge.
Patch-test once
Reactive skin? Test a small spot on your forearm the day before.
Reapply, don't layer
Rinse the old adhesive off first. Fresh glue over dried glue won't bond.
