How to apply false eyelashes like a pro!

October 23, 2008

Ok, How do I get false eyelashes on?

1. Before applying lash adhesive, make sure the length of the lash band will fit your eyes so that your false eyelashes will be comfortable. You don’t want your lashes to start too close to the tear duct, or go beyond your natural lash line. You may have to snip a small section off if you eyes are smaller.

2. Apply eye shadow and mascara. This way your lashes will be the same color as the false pair and blend in better. Applying eye shadow first prevents the shadow dust from falling on top of the lashes.

3. Apply a thin line of DUO adhesive to the lash band. DUO comes in white, which dries clear, and also Dark tone, which dries black. I highly recommend the clear for beginners!

4. Allow the adhesive to dry for about 30 seconds. This allows it to become slightly tacky and easier to apply.

5. Get close to a mirror and apply the lash onto the eyelid as close to the lash line as possible. I’ve always read to use a pair of tweezers. You can try this, but I’ve never had any luck using tweezers, unless I’m putting individual (the ones that are 3-4 hairs with a knot on the end)lashes on. I usually do best with my fingers.

6. You can apply mascara to the false lashes if you want. I usually don’t prefer doing this because they are beautiful by themselves, and they don’t look spidery.

7. Keep eyes relaxed and adhesive will be set in no time!

8. Finish off with liquid or gel liner.

If you applying lashes on someone else, the same tips apply, but I do make sure that my client is looking down when applying them. If they close their eyes, then the adhesive sticks to the bottom lashes and makes a mess!
