Step-by-Step Guide: Applying False Lashes Like a Pro
Follow these simple steps to apply false lashes with precision and confidence for a stunning eye makeover:
What You'll Need:
- False eyelashes
- Lash adhesive
- Tweezers or lash applicator
- Mascara
- Lash curler (optional)
- Oil-free makeup remover
- Cotton pads
Step 1: Prep Your Natural Lashes
- Begin by curling your natural lashes with an eyelash curler if desired. This helps create a uniform base for both your real and false lashes.
Step 2: Measure and Trim
- Hold the false lash strip against your natural lash line to gauge the fit. If the strip is longer than your eye, trim the outer edges using small, sharp scissors.
Step 3: Apply Lash Adhesive
- Squeeze a small amount of lash adhesive onto a clean surface.
- Using a toothpick, a cotton swab, or the applicator provided with the adhesive, apply a thin and even layer of adhesive along the entire lash band. Be sure to apply a bit more adhesive to the edges, as they tend to lift more easily.
Step 4: Wait for the Adhesive to Get Tacky
- Allow the adhesive to sit for about 20-30 seconds. It should become slightly tacky to the touch. This step is crucial to ensure that the lashes adhere properly.
Step 5: Placement
- Using tweezers or a lash applicator, gently hold the false lash strip in the center. Position the strip as close to your natural lash line as possible, starting from the center of your eyelid.
Step 6: Secure the Inner and Outer Corners
- Once the center of the strip is in place, use the tweezers or applicator to press down the inner and outer corners of the lash strip. This ensures a snug fit and prevents lifting.
Step 7: Press and Blend
- Gently press down along the entire lash line to ensure the adhesive bonds securely.
- If desired, apply a coat of mascara to blend your natural lashes with the false ones, creating a seamless look.
Step 8: Removing False Lashes
- When you're ready to remove the lashes, soak a cotton pad in oil-free makeup remover.
- Hold the pad over your closed eyelid for a few seconds to loosen the adhesive.
- Gently and slowly peel off the lash strip, starting from the outer corner and moving inwards.
Step 9: Cleaning and Storage
- Carefully remove any residual adhesive from the lash band.
- Clean the lashes by soaking them in a gentle cleanser or makeup remover for a few minutes.
- Gently comb through the lashes with a spoolie to remove any mascara or residue.
- Store the lashes in their original packaging to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.
With practice, you'll master the art of applying false lashes and achieve a beautiful, captivating eye look that turns heads wherever you go!
