To properly size false eyelashes, you'll need to measure them against your natural lash line and trim any excess band for a comfortable and natural fit. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Steps to Size False Eyelashes:
-
Select Your Lashes: Choose the false eyelashes that best suit your desired look and eye shape. There are many different styles, from natural-looking to dramatic.
-
Measure Against Your Lash Line: Gently remove the false eyelashes from their packaging. Hold the lash band up to your natural lash line. Align the inner corner of the false lash with the inner corner of your eye.
-
Assess the Length: See if the false lash band extends beyond the outer corner of your eye. If it does, it needs to be trimmed.
-
Mark the Excess: Use your fingers or tweezers to identify the point on the false lash band that aligns with the outer corner of your eye. This is where you will need to trim. You can gently mark this spot with tweezers or remember the position.
-
Trim the Band: Using small, sharp scissors, carefully trim the excess band from the outer corner of the false lash. It's best to trim in small increments to avoid cutting off too much.
-
Recheck the Fit: Hold the trimmed lash up to your lash line again to ensure it now fits perfectly. If it's still too long, trim a little more.
-
Apply Adhesive and Attach: Once you're satisfied with the size, apply a thin layer of lash adhesive to the band, wait a few seconds for it to become tacky, and then carefully apply the false eyelashes to your lash line.
Important Considerations:
- Trim from the outer corner: Always trim from the outer corner of the lash band, as this will maintain the lash style and avoid altering the inner corner placement.
- Trim gradually: It's better to trim too little and then trim more if needed than to cut off too much at once.
- Use sharp scissors: Sharp scissors will give you a clean and precise cut.
- Proper fit equals comfort: A properly sized lash will be more comfortable to wear and will look more natural.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your false eyelashes are perfectly sized for your eyes, resulting in a comfortable and flattering look.
