Check how a lash product is constructed, which adhesive system it needs and how it should be removed. “Individual”, “cluster” and “strip” do not tell you everything about a product or appointment. The product’s actual construction matters more than an appealing name.
A name can describe an effect rather than construction
Ardell’s Individual Illusion 215 is an example: despite “Individual” in its name, the manufacturer describes it as a strip lash designed to mimic the appearance of hand-applied individuals. Its listed construction includes a soft, thin black cotton band. This is a named manufacturer example, not a claim that Luté stocks or uses it. 1
Before choosing a product or showing a reference photo, ask whether you are looking at a complete strip, smaller grouped segments or a different application system. A visual effect does not establish the attachment method.
A cluster example has its own specifications
Ardell’s Naked Clusters 437 is a separate example. The manufacturer lists 50 clusters and four lengths: 8, 10, 12 and 14 mm. Those are specifications of this product, not a universal cluster-lash size or pack quantity. 2
The maker also distinguishes adhesive systems in its directions. Do not turn a product-specific wear claim into a promise that all clusters last the same number of days. Construction alone does not establish adhesive compatibility, placement or removal instructions.
Ask about the complete application system
If a service is described as “individual lashes” or “extensions”, ask the provider to explain the actual product and attachment method. Do not infer a professional isolation technique, adhesive chemistry or infill schedule from the name alone.
Before an appointment or home application, clarify:
- What exact lash product and adhesive will be used?
- Where is it intended to be attached, according to its instructions?
- What wear and aftercare directions apply to that combination?
- How is it removed, and who should remove it?
- What should I do if irritation develops?
Do not substitute another glue or pull lashes off because a different product is described as easy to remove. Obtain the correct removal instructions for the system actually used.
Take eye-area precautions seriously
FDA’s eye-cosmetic guidance notes that false lashes and extensions require adhesives, and that allergic reactions, irritation or injury around the delicate eyelids can be troublesome. It advises checking adhesive ingredients. These are international consumer precautions, not proof that a particular product or service is suitable for you. 3
FDA also advises washing hands before applying eye cosmetics, keeping instruments clean and not sharing cosmetics. If an eye cosmetic causes irritation, stop using it immediately; seek medical advice if irritation persists. Avoid eye cosmetics when you have an eye infection or inflamed skin around the eye, and wait until it has healed. 4
A patch test, familiar brand or previous comfortable wear does not guarantee a reaction-free result. An unresolved eye problem should not be covered up to keep an appointment.

Use this as a question sheet, not allergy clearance. For Luté’s currently listed lash options in Lilayi, check the treatment menu and ask about the actual method before booking. A reference photo can explain the look you want without deciding which product should be used.
