Applying fake eyelashes can dramatically enhance your eye makeup. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Getting Started: Preparation is Key
Before you begin, gather your materials:
- Fake eyelashes
- Eyelash glue
- Tweezers
- Mascara (optional)
- Small scissors (optional, for trimming)
Applying Your False Lashes: A Step-by-Step Guide
-
Measure and Trim (if necessary): Carefully measure the lash against your eyelid. If it's too long, use small scissors to trim the outer edges. Avoid trimming the inner corner.
-
Apply Glue: Apply a thin layer of eyelash glue to the lash band, allowing it to sit for about 30 seconds to become slightly tacky. This prevents the glue from being too wet and ruining the application.
-
Position and Press: Using tweezers, carefully place the lash band as close to your natural lash line as possible. Gently press the lash band onto your eyelid, starting from the center and working your way outwards. Then, do the same from the center to the inner corner.
-
Comb and Adjust: Use a small brush or your finger to gently comb the lashes and blend them with your natural lashes. As mentioned in the provided reference video, you can comb the lashes downwards, especially in the inner and center sections, to create a more natural, less surprised look. This helps avoid an overly dramatic effect.
-
Add Mascara (Optional): For a seamless look, apply a coat of mascara to blend your natural and false lashes together.
Troubleshooting
- Glue is too wet: Wait longer for the glue to become tacky before applying.
- Lashes are uneven: Use tweezers to adjust the placement before the glue sets.
- Lashes are uncomfortable: If the lashes are irritating, gently remove them and try again with a different pair or application technique.
