How to Apply False Eyelashes & Mascara

• Answer:

  Whether for a night out on the town or little more 'fierceness' during the day, these tips help you get the look you're going for! Difficulty: Moderate Things You'll Need False Lashes Lash Glue Scissors (Small) Wood Stick(double ended pencil will do) Mascara (your choice) Eyeshadow/Eyeliner Tweezers A friend you trust Instructions Measure the lash against Your own lashes to see if they fit. False eyelashes may be trimmed in width or length to suit your eye size or personal preference. However, try original length before cutting. If the lashes need to be cut, cut from the Outside not the inside. The Outside is usually longer. Once the lashes are the right size, inspect the lashes for any stray hairs or hardness. This can be fixed by wrapping the lash around your finger to soften the lash and fix any stray hairs. If the stray stays, cut it or pluck it, but do so gently. Apply a small, even amount of eyelash glue to lash band. Using the Wood Stick (or two sided, unsharpened pencil) distribute the glue ensuring it is even and thin. Wait 10 seconds for adhesive to become sticky. Working from the outside of the eye, gently lay lashes on Top of your natural lashes-- Lashes to Lashes, Line to Line. Using the Wood Stick (opposite side that has no glue), gently press across entire lash until set. With your favorite eyeshadow or eyeliner, gently and carefully blend the lash line with your own. The glue shows through the lashes and needs to be covered. Because we have the false lashes, the traditional mascara method of both above and below the lash line doesn't have to be used. Most would say you run the risk of lossening the false lashes, but it is up to you. So, hold brush as close as possible to base of lashes, and wiggle it in a Z like pattern as you move it up through lashes as to reach every lash. Let mascara dry for about 10-15 seconds, then replace brush at lash base, and wiggle again as you move up the lashes. If you like, place brush at lash line on top of lashes. In a slow, even motion, go from roots to tips. Tips & Warnings Tip: DO NOT curl your natural lashes or use Mascara before you apply the lashes. Tip: Use the friend to actually apply lashes if they are willing to help. Tip: Invest in quality products. Remember, most lashes are Real hair and can be used again and again with proper care. Tip: To remove, gently peel lashes band off lid, starting at outer corner. Remove adhesive from band and place your lashes back in tray for re-use. Tip: Depending on the lashes you use, you may not need to use Mascara-- it's your choice. Warning: Please be very careful. That is why I suggest a friend. These are eyes we're talking about! Let's be safe!
