Apply Eyelashes

What You'll Need

False eyelashes

• Choose from natural, cluster, dramatic, or wispy styles based on the look you're going for.

Eyelash adhesive

•  It usually comes with the false lashes but can also be bought separately.

Tweezers

•  Helpful in placing the lashes with precision.

Small scissors

•   For trimming the lashes to fit your eyes.

Mascara and eyelash curler

•  To blend your natural lashes with the false ones.

Step-by-step Process

Prep Your Natural Lashes

•   Curling your natural lashes creates a scaffold for your false lashes.
•   Applying mascara adds volume, which helps in blending.
•   Use an eyelash curler and pump a few times at the base of your lashes to create a curl.
•   Apply a coat of mascara, focusing on the base rather than the tips for better adhesion with the false lashes.

Trim if Needed

•  False lashes usually come in a standard size, which might not fit your eyes perfectly.
• Place the false lashes against your eye to measure the correct length.
•  If the lashes extend beyond your natural eye shape, trim them from the outer corner for a more natural fit.

Apply Eyelash Adhesive

•   The adhesive needs to become tacky for the lashes to stick appropriately.
•  Run a thin layer of adhesive along the band of the false lashes.
•   Add a little extra on all four corners of the lashes.
•   This will help prevent lifting.
•   Wait for about 30 seconds or until the adhesive is sticky to the touch.

Position the Lashes

•   Proper positioning ensures that the false lashes align with your natural lash line.
•  Use tweezers to place the center of the false lashes near the center of your natural lash line.
•  Once aligned, secure the inner and outer corners.

Adjust and Fixing

•  Minor adjustments can significantly affect how natural the false lashes look.
•   If the lashes aren't perfectly aligned, reposition them by gently nudging with your tweezers or fingers before the adhesive dries completely.

Blending Natural and False Lashes

• This step eliminates the demarcation between your natural and false lashes.
•   Use your fingers or a clean mascara wand to press your natural lashes into the false ones, blending them together.
