Introduction
Nothing makes your eyes pop like a pair of fake lashes. They are easy to apply, can last all day and don’t require a lot of equipment. There are even reusable pairs that allow you to use them again and again.
Curl your real lashes to make sure they blend well with the fake ones.
Curling your real eyelashes is a great way to make sure the fake ones blend well with your natural lashes. There are several ways to curl them, including using an eyelash curler or heated eyelash curler. You can also use a spoolie brush (like this one from Sephora) or even get in there with your fingers! If you’re going for more of a natural look and don’t want anything too dramatic, try using just one coat of mascara instead of two. When applying false lashes, be sure to avoid the corners of your eyes—these will help keep them in place longer.
Measure the lash to your lash line and trim the excess if there is any.
Now that you’ve picked the right lash and removed it from the package, it’s time to measure it up.
- Measure the length of your natural lashes. If they’re not quite as long as you’d like them to be, try trimming a little off of one end of the lash strip. You can also use tweezers or a pair of scissors if you want to make sure they’re super straight and even!
- Measure how wide your natural lashes are by spreading them all out with your fingers first so that there aren’t any gaps between them and then measuring their width in millimeters (mm). When measured this way, false eyelashes should only be about 1/4th as wide as your own; anything wider will look fake and fakey-fakey!
Apply a small amount of glue on the lash band and wait for about 15 seconds until it becomes tacky.
Take a small amount of glue on the lash band and wait for about 15 seconds until it becomes tacky. Do not apply too much or too less glue, otherwise, you might end up sticking your natural eyelashes together.
Position the lashes as close to your real lashes as possible, from inner to outer corner.
Position the lashes as close to your real lashes as possible, from inner to outer corner. To ensure that they’re at the right angle, consult a mirror. Use tweezers to position each lash individually if you need more control or precision than your fingertips will allow.
Positioning them too far out will make it look like you’re wearing two sets of eyelashes—which can be super cool if that’s what you’re going for! But if not…don’t do that! You want these babies to blend in seamlessly with your natural ones so people don’t even know they’re there until their eyes water from laughing about something funny someone said earlier (it may have been me).
Wait until the glue dries, then use mascara to blend both sets of lashes together.
After the glue has dried, use a mascara wand to blend the lashes together. Wait until the mascara dries and then use a spoolie to smooth out any clumps. At this point, if you want more volume, you can curl your natural lashes with an eyelash curler.
Apply lashes
- Apply glue to lash band and wait for 15 seconds
- Position the lashes close to your real lashes and press down with a cotton swab tip or tweezer
- Wait until glue dries (about 15-20 seconds) before blinking
- Apply mascara to blend both sets of lashes together
Conclusion
Although applying lashes as a beginner is hard and it takes time, once you get the hang of it you will be able to apply them in less than 5 minutes.
