Eyelash extensions are one of the most popular beauty treatments, giving the eyes a deeper, more expressive look. However, some clients notice that their eyes start to water during the procedure. This is a common and natural reaction — and there’s no need to worry. At MONLIS Studio Munich, experienced lash stylists know exactly how to handle such situations gently and professionally to keep clients comfortable while achieving a perfect finish.
1. Why Do Eyes Water During Eyelash Extensions?
Tearing during the lash extension process is quite common and often caused by the eye’s natural sensitivity to external factors. Sometimes, the faint adhesive vapors or slight airflow can trigger tearing — especially in sensitive clients.
Typical reasons include:
Sensitive eye area: Some people naturally react more strongly to light or touch near the eyes.
Airflow or dry air: Ventilation or air conditioning can irritate the eyes.
Slightly open eyelids: Even a small gap can allow vapor to enter the eye.
Relaxed body state: During the treatment, the body relaxes, and the eyes may react by producing tears.
At MONLIS Studio, stylists pay attention to every detail — ensuring eyes are gently closed, the working distance is comfortable, and the air in the room remains balanced.
2. What to Do When Eyes Start Watering During the Treatment
If your eyes begin to water, it’s important to stay calm and inform your stylist immediately. A professional lash technician will recognize the situation and act quickly to ensure comfort.
Recommended steps:
Pause briefly – to let adhesive vapors dissipate.
Gently dry tears – using a lint-free pad or micro-brush.
Adjust head position – slightly turning the head can prevent vapors from reaching the eyes.
Increase airflow – a small fan can help reduce irritation.
These small adjustments are often enough to stop tearing and continue the treatment without affecting the final result.
3. How to Prevent Eyes from Watering
Preparation plays a key role in making the lash extension process comfortable.
MONLIS Studio Munich recommends:
Avoid caffeine before your appointment – it can increase eye sensitivity.
Remove contact lenses – they may intensify irritation.
Stay relaxed – calm breathing and closed eyes reduce the risk of watering.
Trust your stylist – experienced hands and a calm environment make all the difference.
The MONLIS team monitors temperature and humidity during every session to ensure ideal conditions for sensitive clients.
4. If Eyes Continue to Water
Even with careful preparation, mild tearing can still occur. In this case, comfort and safety come first.
The stylist may pause the procedure, adjust the adhesive amount, or use special pads and tools designed to minimize irritation.
The final result remains perfect — full, even, and beautifully natural lashes.
5. Aftercare Tips
To keep your eyes and lashes comfortable and beautiful after the treatment:
Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes.
Keep water and steam away for the first few hours.
Use gentle lash cleansers to maintain hygiene.
Schedule regular refills every 3–4 weeks to maintain fullness.
Watery eyes during eyelash extensions are usually a minor and temporary reaction. With the right approach, it’s easy to manage.
At MONLIS Studio Munich, skilled stylists ensure a relaxing and safe experience from start to finish — combining comfort, professionalism, and flawless results.
A calm atmosphere, gentle techniques, and personalized care guarantee that every client leaves feeling beautiful, confident, and completely at ease.
