Applying False Eyelashes and Other Lash Enhancing Tips

Eyes_Eyelashes 3

False eyelashes are still the go-to for dramatically fuller lashes and you'll get the best results from learning proper application techniques (and putting in some practice). If faux lashes aren't for you, consider changing up your mascara routine, talking to an aesthetician about lash tinting or rely on the illusion eyeliner creates.

False Eyelashes
One trick that many women use, particularly for special occasions and eveningwear, is false eyelashes. High-quality false eyelashes are made from human hair, and they blend in perfectly with your own lashes to create a dramatically full eyelash look.

To apply false lashes, you will need a set of false lashes, tweezers, scissors and lash adhesive. Follow these simple steps:

  • Measure the upper lash by starting halfway between the inside corner of your eye and the curve where the iris begins and measure to the outer corner of your eye. If the lash is too long, trim it to fit.
  • Bend the lash into a horseshoe shape so it becomes flexible and can fit the curve of the eyelid.
  • Add a small amount of adhesive to the bottom of the eyelash strip and wait for a few seconds so it can set.
  • Starting with the shorter lashes, apply the lashes from halfway between the inside corner of your eye and the curve where the iris begins. Put the lashes as close to your actual lash line as possible, and gently push the false lash down along the base of your eyelid.

Do the same with the bottom lashes; again, the shorter lashes go on the inside of the eye, closest to the nose.
