Here Are the 10 Tips to Attach False Eyelashes

Choose Your Eyelash Style

False eyelashes are available in different styles and colours. They are easily available in any store. You can choose any lashes of your choice based on length, design and colour. They are also available in individual clusters as well as in full strips. A full set of eyelashes can give you a dramatic look by providing the perfect length and thickness to your eyes.

It takes only a few minutes to apply whereas the individual cluster lashes are great for filling in the gaps in sparse areas. You can customise individual lashes to create a beautiful winged look by filling in lashes in the outer areas. Individual lashes are a bit complicated to apply but trust me it gives the best natural enhancement to your eyes. If you are a beginner you can start learning with full starseed strip lashes.

Select Your Colour

There are a wide range of colours provided in false eyelashes. But I suggest you choose brown and black as they are always great for daily use. You can take your time and decide if you are willing to have longer lashes or fuller lashes. There are many choices to decide as we have multiple styles to determine what is best suitable for us. If you are looking to purchase for an occasion then you can choose different colours with feathers or rhinestones.

Get Lash Adhesive

You can get lash adhesives in a wide range of varieties. The lash adhesives are available in two different colours i.e black and white. White is best recommended for the beginners as this also adhesive dries clear.

Dark adhesives like black hold their colour which can give a beautiful look to your eyes. But it may not be a good idea if you are a beginner as it would be unforgiving if you make an error. Some lashes are self-adhesive depending upon the brand but I would recommend you to have a glue in hand just in case if the lashes fall out.

Trim to Fit

You may have a problem fitting one side of the lashes. Your new lashes require a bit of trimming before you apply them on your eyes. Hold your false eyelashes against your eyelids to measure if they are perfect or longer for your eyes. If they are too long go ahead and trim a bit with a pair of scissors until you get your size. Remember the lashes should be longer in the outer corner of the eye and shorter in the inner corner of the eye.

Shape your False Eyelashes

Shaping and trimming your false eyelashes is an important step before you apply it on your eyelids with the glue. Now, you have to bend the lashes in the shape of C and hold it for a few seconds. Lift up the edges and make sure the lash strips are looking natural in your eye lid.

Grab your Applicator

Grab a pair of tweezers, an eyelash applicator or your fingers to apply the false lashes. Choose the application techniques that are best suitable for you. Know what works better for you and makes it easier to apply the false lashes. Be gentle while applying the false lashes with glue. Don’t harm your natural eyelashes.

Apply Lash Adhesive

The challenging task is applying adhesive to the false eyelashes. This can turn out to be messy if you are new to this. Hold the lash strip with the help of tweezers and apply the lash glue on the lash band and wait for about 10-20 seconds before applying it. This will allow the glue to stick better on the eyelids. Be extra cautious as you are applying around your eyes. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions before using the adhesive in your eyes.

Apply Your Lashes Carefully

This is a tricky part for all of us that is applying the lashes on the eyelids. Remember to take it slow and don’t be in a hurry. You can use a magnifying mirror to check where the lash strips need to be fixed. Get the lash strip down from the above and place it on top of your natural eyelashes. Never apply glue on your eyelids as this is a bad idea to be considered.

Things might look messy at the beginning but trust me once when you start working on it you’ll be a pro at it. Be patient while applying. Choose the right adhesive on your lashes. I recommend you to get white adhesive as it dries clear without messing your makeup.

Set Your Lashes in Place

After applying the false eyelashes on your real lashes, use your fingertips to gently dab on your false lashes to make sure it sticks well. Press together to adhere properly. If the glue is wet you can move the lash strips until you fix it in a correct position.

Fill in the Gaps

If there are any gaps or spaces in between your fake and real lashes, fill the gaps with the help of eyeliner or kajal. It will make it look natural. You can give your fake eyelashes a touch-up with an eyelash curler. This will help them look more natural. You can also use an eyelash curler.
