Applying false lashes is one of those things you’ve either mastered or are absolutely terrified of – if it’s the latter, you probably avoid lashes altogether or beg your bestie to apply them for you.
Getting a pair of false lashes in place without ruining your makeup is kind of an art, but once you learn it, you’ll be set!
Before applying false lashes, complete your eye makeup, including mascara and eyeliner.
After your lashes are added, you can add a little more liquid liner and mascara to blend everything together.
Top tips for flawless false eyelash application
Step 1: Trim the lash to fit your eyes. Lashes are always extra-long so they can fit anyone, but most people need to trim them. We recommend trimming away the outer edge – where the lashes are typically longer – for a more natural look. The lash doesn’t have to fit the full width of your eye: you can cut them so that they will only fit the outer two-thirds of your eye, which helps to lift and open up the eye, plus it makes it easier for beginners.
Step 2: Wiggle the lashes a little to make them more supple, comfortable to wear, and easier to apply.
Step 3: Holding the lashes with a pair of tweezers, apply a thin layer of glue along the band of the lashes. You can apply directly from the tube or add a little glue to the back of your hand, and then lightly drag the band through the glue, to give it an even coating. Let the glue dry for around 10 to 30 seconds (depending on the lash glue), and when the glue is tacky it’s time to go for it.
Step 4: Place a mirror on a desk or dresser so that you’re looking down into the mirror – this makes it easier than looking at a mirror straight on. Holding the lashes with a pair of tweezers (this gives you more control), gently place the lashes as close to your lash line as possible. Use your tweezers to push the outer and inner corners down. When fitted, use your fingers to gently press them into place, and then pinch your natural and false lashes together to ensure they sit together.
Step 5: If during the process of applying the lashes you get a little glue on your lid, continue applying and wait until the lashes are secure, then take a queue tip and gently remove any glue splodges.
Step 6: If you want to, you can apply a little mascara afterward to help blend your lashes and false lashes together.
