False eyelashes made simple

False eyelashes made simpleFalse eyelashes are a fun way to enhance your eyes, and not as tricky to apply as one might assume. For a special occasion or just for fun, these embellishments add intrigue to already beautiful eyes. Add a couple to the outer edges of the eyes for a subtle look, or across the entire eye for bold drama - either way, you will create a more feminine eye.

  • Find the right length and color for you. Use brown for pale lashes and black for dark lashes. Trim length to 1/8 inch longer than your natural lashes.
  • Prep face so it is completely free of any makeup residue.
  • Add small amount of glue to base of the lash and let dry slightly for thirty seconds.
  • Place base as close to the lash line as possible, following the natural curve of your eyelashes. Use a toothpick or tweezers to adjust placement.
  • If using corner lashes (cat-eye), apply three to edge of lash line.
  • Apply makeup, carefully using liner. Use mascara for maximum drama.

Practice applying lashes prior to event or occasion if inexperienced.
