Applying false eyelashes can enhance your eye makeup and overall look. Here's a breakdown of how to do it, incorporating tips from the provided reference:
Preparing Your Lashes
- Flipping the Lashes: Before applying, gently flip the false lashes upwards to loosen them from the tray or strip. This makes them more flexible and easier to work with, preventing damage to the lashes. As the video reference states, "I try to flip. The lashes upward like this. And then apply it back onto the last strip just because I don't want to ruin the layout of the lashes."
Application Process
- Measure and Trim: Hold the false lash strip against your natural lash line. If the strip is too long, trim it from the outer corner to fit your eye. Avoid cutting from the inner corner as this might alter the natural curve.
- Apply Adhesive: Use a thin, even layer of lash adhesive along the lash band. Allow the adhesive to become slightly tacky (about 20-30 seconds) before applying. This will ensure the lashes adhere properly.
- Position the Lashes: Look down into a mirror and carefully place the lash strip onto your lash line, starting from the middle of your eye. Use tweezers for better control.
- Press and Secure: Gently press the lash band down onto your lash line, paying extra attention to the inner and outer corners. Hold the lashes in place for a few seconds to allow the adhesive to set.
- Blend and Finish: Once the lashes are securely in place, apply a thin layer of mascara to blend your natural lashes with the false lashes.
Tips for Beginners
- Patience is Key: Don't rush the process. Take your time to apply the lashes carefully.
- Practice Makes Perfect: Applying false lashes can be tricky at first. The more you practice, the better you will become.
- Quality Adhesive: Use a good-quality lash adhesive to ensure the lashes stay in place and are safe for your eyes.
