False Eyelashes - Quick Application Tips

The simplest way to make your eyes look bigger and really stand out is to have fabulous lashes. If your own lashes are a bit skimpy, or if you just want to turn up the wow factor a bit, why not try false eyelashes!

Here are a couple tips for applying false eyelashes:

Before applying lash adhesive, make sure the length of the lash band will fit your eyes so that your false eyelashes will be comfortable. You don't want your lashes to start too close to the tear duct, or go beyond your natural lash line. You may have to snip a small section off if you eyes are smaller.

Apply eyeshadow and mascara. This way your lashes will be the same color as the false pair and blend in better.

Apply a thin line of DUO or other adhesive that is meant specifically for eyelashes to the lash band. DUO comes in white, which dries clear, and also dark tone, which dries black. I highly recommend the clear for beginners!

Allow the adhesive to dry for about 30 seconds. This allows it to become slightly tacky and easier to apply.

Get close to a mirror and apply the false eyelashes onto the eyelid as close to the lash line as possible. Keep eyes relaxed and adhesive will be set in no time!

Finish off with liquid or gel liner.
