If you struggle with short or sparse eyelashes or simply wish yours were more dark and luscious, false eyelashes could be just the trick.They can add length and volume to your eyes if applied on top of your natural eyelashes.Unless you are going for a dramatic makeup look, you want them to look natural and real.You can convince everyone that you grew your own lashes with a few application tips and tricks.
Step 1: Purchase false eyelashes.
There are a lot of different brands and styles on the market, and they are sold at most pharmacy and beauty supply stores.If you want to make them look natural, you should avoid the long, spiky, and outrageously full ones.Bigger isn't necessarily better if you want them to look real.Pick a pair that looks like your natural eyelashes.You can check online if you can't find something that looks natural in the store.You can read reviews from other people who have tried different brands if you order online.
Step 2: You should trim your eyelashes.
False eyelashes won't be ready to go right out of the box for most people.They need to be trimmed so that they fit your eye perfectly.Hold them up to your eyelid and figure out how much you need to trim off the end.Cut the lashes with scissors.The eyelash strip should be the same length as your natural lashes.The extra length will rub against your skin if you skip this step.They won't look natural.
Step 3: Purchase the correct eyelash glue.
There is a debate about which eyelash glue is the best.You will need to buy your own glue for some pairs of eyelashes.You can buy eyelash glue at drugstores and beauty supply stores.The most common type of eyelash glue is tube white.If you know how to apply false eyelashes, you can avoid clumps of glue showing.You can buy black eyelash glue.Black glue will blend into your lashes if you line them with dark eyeliner.
Step 4: Line your top lashes with eyeliner.
Line the entire length of your lashes with dark brown or black eyeliner.By giving the illusion of thick, full roots, this helps your false eyelashes look more natural.The base for your false lashes will be created by the eyeliner.
Step 5: Make your fake eyelashes look real by applying lash glue.
Make sure you read the instructions on the glue you are using.If you want to use a lash glue, you should apply it evenly along the strip of eyelashes and wait for the glue to become tacky.It is time to apply glue to your lid once the glue has built up on your lashes.
Step 6: Line up your lashes and apply.
Once the glue is tacky, carefully hold your lashes by the tips and line up the strip with your natural lashes, starting from the outer corner.The band will curve along the natural curve of your eyelid if you gently press the strip down.Double check to make sure they are lined up correctly after you pressed the entire strip down.
Step 7: Press and hold your eyelashes together.
If you can confirm that your lashes are in the right place, you should press down on the glue strip with more pressure.Pinch your false lashes and natural lashes together as you press down.This will help to make sure that your false lashes are lined up with your natural lashes.After a couple of minutes, let the glue dry.
Step 8: Your eyelashes are Curled.
You should grab an eyelash curler once the glue is completely dry.Curl your false lashes and natural lashes together so that they look natural.Put your lashes through the curler and press them down at the base.Hold for a few seconds and let go.
Step 9: Apply mascara to your eyes.
The final step is to make sure your eyelashes are blended together.By applying mascara to your false and natural lashes at the same time, they will bind together with the makeup.If you want to camouflage your natural lashes, you can give them a little more volume and length.One coat of mascara is all you need to make your eyelashes look natural.
