False eyelashes have been a go-to beauty trick for decades, but that doesn't mean they're always easy to apply. I've got five tips for getting the most drama out of your false lashes like a pro.
Use A Mirror
This tip is pretty self-explanatory, but it's also the most important one. You can't apply fake lashes properly if you don't have a mirror! If you have access to a magnifying mirror and/or an adjustable one with lights, those would be ideal for this task because they'll allow you to get really close up and see every detail of your eyes.
If not, grab any old hand mirror from around the house (or even just hold up your phone) and take stock of how well each lash looks before gluing it down onto your own eyelid, you'll want to make sure there aren't any loose strands sticking out or crooked placement that could look weird when all done up with mascara later on in the day/night/etc..
Start With Clean, Dry Lashes
- First, clean your lashes. Use a cotton swab or q-tip to remove any excess makeup residue from your natural lashes. This will help prevent the glue from attaching too strongly and causing damage when it's time to remove the false eyelashes later on (and trust me, you'll want those suckers off!).
- Next, apply waterproof mascara on top of your normal mascara if you haven't already done so! This step is crucial because it helps keep any remaining makeup off of your skin before you apply false eyelashes; without this layer, there's more chance that some stray hairs could get caught under the adhesive and ruin everything for everyone involved.
- Next, wait for everything to dry before putting on fake ones yourself! If possible, wait until after bedtime so that no one has time during daylight hours where they could accidentally rub their eyes while getting ready later that evening.
Match The Lash To Your Natural Lash Line
Match the lash to your natural lash line. Natural lashes are usually longer than false lashes, so make sure to choose a pair that's not too long. If you have shorter eyelashes and want to add more length, use an eyelash curler before applying your falsies. This will lift them up so they can be seen from further away, and thus look longer!
Apply Them One By One
You can apply your false lashes one at a time, or you can apply them all at once. The latter is good if you're in a rush and want something quick. If not, it's best to take your time with this step so that the lashes look natural and even throughout their placement on your eye.
To start off: Apply them along the outer corner of each eye first, then move inward towards where they meet up with your iris (the colored part). Afterward, move up towards where they meet up with eyelid creases, this will help hide any gaps between lashes and make sure nothing looks weird if someone were looking closely enough! Finally finish off by placing some extra ones around middle area of lid so everything looks nice & full!
Don't Forget Adhesive
One of the most common mistakes people make when applying false eyelashes is forgetting to put on adhesive. It's not just about how you apply the lashes, but also how well they stick to your natural eyelid.
To ensure that you have a secure hold on your fake lashes, apply a thin layer of glue directly onto each band (not near the roots or tip) and let it dry for 10-15 seconds before pressing them into place as close to your natural lash line as possible.
