How To Apply False Eyelashes – A Step By Step Guide For Beginners

Applying false lashes can be very tricky if you do not know how to get it fixed yourself. Most ladies go to the beauty shop or makeup studio to get it fixed. If you want to save yourself the hassle of going back and forth to get your lashes done, you’re in luck as we have compiled a list of how to fix your lashes.

Easy steps to Apply False Eyelashes

To apply artificial eyelash is not as difficult as you expect, all that’s needed is mascara, a fresh set of lashes, and some black eyelash adhesive, then follow the simple instructions listed below.

1. Apply Mascara and black eye pencil

Using the mascara to curl the natural lashes helps to create a shelf to support the weight of the cosmetic lash. It also makes it possible for you to pinch and push your natural lashes and the false lashes together so they set well.

2. Prevent lashes from popping up

Sometimes, lashes can be flat when you bring them out of the box. This makes them pop up at the inner or outer corners once they are applied. In order to avoid this and help the lashes remain more curved in shape, roll it around a makeup brush, pen, cotton bud or even your finger for a few minutes.

3. Measure the lashes

This is done to know if there’s need for you to trim the lashes or not. Place the strip lash along your lash line starting from where your natural bulk of eyelashes begin. If you begin too close to your tear duct, ie the inner corner of your eyes, it is most likely to cause you irritation. To mark where your strip lashes should end, go to the outer corner and count 2-4 lashes inwards. If you have them hanging over, it can pull the eyes down.

4. Cut the lashes to fit (if need be)

This can be done in two ways; either cut the lash band right down the centre to create a large individual or cut it to the right width of your eye (measure to see if fits your eye) – if it doesn’t, trim off excess trips.

5. Add adhesive(eyelash glue)

Use small amounts of the glue (straight from the adhesive applicator). Trace the lash band with a laser-thin line glue and allow few moments for the adhesive to dry – that is until the glue gets tacky. To achieve a longer lasting application, apply some dots of the glue along lash line as well as on the lashes. This is known as the ‘double adhesive’ technique.

6. Put it on 

Using your hand or tweezer, if you can, place the false eyelashes where your natural bulk of eyelashes begin, look down and gently press in the strip lash to stick properly at the centre, the outer edge and inner corner.

NOTE:  When placing the inner lash extension, avoid moving close to the tear duct to give a little bit more width to the eye. If it’s too close, it makes your eyes feel like they’re narrower and even cross-eyed.
